I rooted my NC today and noticed that after each app install from both the Market and side load, i have to reboot to get the apps to show up in Extras. Is that normal?

Its normal, you can install a laucher like ADW, Zeam, Launcher Pro or whatever you fancy and they will show in the app drawer instantly.
In terms of getting rid of all the mobile shortcuts and bugs, which is the best launcher for the Nook? ADW, Launcher PRo, or Zeam?
Using LauncherPro here
Is it free?
I'm a longtime user of ADW and Launcher Pro. I recently switched to Go Launcher and then settled on Zeam.
I find that anytime I use ADW or Launcher pro, I get inexplicable delays and force closes way too frequently to be acceptable.
Zeam and Go Launcher run light, not heavy on features, thus faster and more reliable. No issues with slow loading or force closes at all using Zeam.
Can you replace the phone icon on Zeam? I hate having that icon that I will never use even 1 pixel of my screen.

The little thing at the bottom is at your total control. You can just add apps right to that or like that app menu and remove as needed.
Included picture for better example.
+1 for Zeam
Can configure the dock and it has gesture controls too.
Yeah I'm using Zeam now and it's great. I love the look of it, and really like the gestures (I'm using swipe up to display notifications and swipe down to show applications).
Another Zeam-er here. Very simple and functional. I keep most of my icons on the tray and the screen is fairly clean with the exception of time/battery widgets and a fun Futurama quotes widget. I guess I'm not using it at its full potential but for my minimalistic needs it works.
If I install Zeam - can I still get to the Nook "Library", Shop, Web, Settings, Extras that are normally available to the Nook Launcher?
And... Can I remove Zeam and easily revert back to the Nook's standard Launcher if I want to?

Yes and Yes They are apps in the launcher and you can drag them down to your home screen to launch them

You can also install Home Switcher which would allow you to launch the 'default' NC Home screen.
I've gone through a few available launchers and found Zeam to be the best.
So I have a new freshly autonootered NC (1.1.0 w/AN3) and running Go Launcher EX as my primary launcher.
From reading, I expected newly installed apps to show in the Go Launcher app drawer but not in Extras until a reboot.
However, what I'm getting is LOTS of my installed apps never showing up in the Go Launcher app drawer but always showing up in Extras.
Anybody else see this behavior? Is it a Go Launcher peculiarity perhaps?
Hi everyone.
I've been trying to keep from rooting my KF HD and decided to sideload some of my launchers from my GSII. But when I install ADW, GO and Nova they all install correctly but they don't show up in my app list except for ADW. And ADW opens fine and lets me customize the home screens and everything but I cant set it as the default home screen.
Can anyone help me or explain why this is happening.
Thanks
ADW is the only one that functions correctly on a non-rooted device. Don't have a reason why though, but apparently Amazon wanted to lock out alternative launchers.
If you root, you can put the launcher apk in system/app, install and can set the home button defaults. I personally got go launcher ex to function, though I believe others have managed to get other launchers to work.
Otherwise non-rooted, ADW will function but you can't change the defaults.

I had a great emmc root but screwed up this morning by pushing the Home option and having it as the default. Now I can't figure out how to get back to the Zeam Launcher. Help.
Fixed it by finding another launcher and installing it.
The same thing happened to me. I keep a launcher apk in my dropbox so I can access it from the web interface if it happens to me again.
I use Nova launcher, and I can just access that through the app drawer (push vol+ and tap apps on B&N apps page). Then I can make it the home launcher again. I think Zeem is in the app drawing too, no?
Another way to go is to search for the Google Play app in the browser. Then click the Google Play link and have it open Google Play by default. Then you can either find another launcher (like ADW) or go into your apps there and open a launcher.
