Was trying to hit the back button when I was playing Wordfeud and hit the "Last Book Read" button and suddenly, it went back to the last book read!
Been wanting this back for those of us who actually do read on the Nook and looks like we've got it!
This thing just get more awesome by the day.
Nook Color
Auto Nootered
1.1.0 update
1100 Overclocked
That's excellent news! Been putting off updating to 1.1 because there didn't seem to be much benefit, but this just might tip the scales. Thanks for the heads up.

I noticed that too. And obviously we don't need to boot into the B&N home first before opening our home app of choice. I, for one, am very happy to have that functionality back.

Hi there people. Here's my problem, when I have apps running, like internet, angry bird, etc, and click home button to return to homescreen, what's left is the wallpaper. It takes about 5 seconds to load up, and takes another 5 seconds to respond to scrolling. It gets annoying when I multitask.
I realise it's more laggy after opening apps like asphalt, hungry shark and especially angry bird, and playing movies. But after it's loaded, it's fine.
What can I do? I am currently on Doc's v7.6 XWJPA rom (startup tweaks disabled) with zenkinz's OC kernel and JFS/EXT4 file system. I have autokiller enabled at strict. I tried EXT4, EXT2 but I don't think it's the file system. I think it has something to do with media scanning perhaps?
Thanks for troubleshooting/advice. Really appreciate it if this can be solved.
No replies? my problem is very similar to this guy,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689728.
And I've done pretty much did what he did too, factory reset, reflash rom, changed kernel, still nothing.
I realise that I don't get the load home screen when I for example,
Angry Bird > Press Back > Exit Game > Home screen pops up immediately usable.
But if I
Angry Bird > Press Home key > Home screen takes 10 seconds to load up and then become scrollable.
What can be done? Really need help guys.
Bump up my thread.
Bump up my post. Really need help.
It's because of your autokiller. Don't believe me? Uninstall it then see what happens. Don't use auto killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, wow, chill mate. Okay okay. I'll try that and get back to you.

Hehe good luck. You're right, I do need to chill, point taken
Hi, done that and tested for a while. Still restarts home screen when I press home button. Not solved. I wonder if I am the only one having this issue?
You are not alone. I have the same issues, and I have never had any auto killer installed. The problem occurred after the upgrade to Froyo(stock). Any help would be appreciated.
Well time to put my foot in my mouth. My thinking was that the auto killer was removing the launcher from memory. Thus every time you pressed home, the launcher had to start again from scratch.
Sorry, wish I could be of more help :/
No worries Chalup, thanks anyway.
Yeah, since Froyo I've been getting that. I hope this can be solved.
Hey iamsatan, I think I found the "cure." Do you have quickdesk pro installed? I uninstalled it and now it's working fine. Maybe partly because I flashed a new modem. I flashed JPD modem instead of JPP.
Still testing.
I have the same problem after upgrading to Froyo there is occasionaly very long wait when returning to home screen.
When this is happening also applications are reloading, it looks that the launcher crashes or it is killed.
Any solution?
When using the nook app from Barnes and Noble is it possible to lock the orientation to portrait and have the power button be at the top instead of the bottom? I'm guessing no, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case someone knows a trick.
How did you get nook loaded? It doesn't do anything when I click the link.
Thanks

I'm running TnT Lite 2.2 and just loaded it from the Market.
Thank you. I realized after I posted that I was being dumb and didn't consider the mods.
I'm still too much of a noob and haven't figured out how to apply the market place, clockwork or alternate ROMs.
I'll get those figured out and try again.
Thanks again,
Neudle
I just auto-nooted a new NC and am very pleased so far.
I also tried NookieFroyo which is encouraging, but too slow for general use presumably due to running of the SD. But while running it, I noticed that the version of SoftKeys it uses allows one to move the buttons around.
Back in auto-nooted version, I went to the market and found a newer version available. When I try to download it, the installation fails saying that there is a problem with the keys.
Has anyone successfully installed the latest Soft Keys on an auto-nooted NC? Care to share?
Thanks,
--Jim--
First off, get Button Savior. It's much better. Secondly, I found out that you can swipe left on the status bar to go back. This eliminates 99% of the problems from no back button.

I had soft keys 3.0 and last night I went to the market and downloaded it from there and everything worked, now I have 3.0.4 installed. You could try to remove the apk from the app directory and then try to install from the market

I disagree. I had Button Savior for a while but it was extremely annoying that no matter where I put it, it would eventually be in the place that I had to click something; whether it be a button in an app, a game, or the keyboard (if I put it somewhere in the lower half of the screen).
The problem is of course, that you can't move the tab without exiting whatever app you're in (and for games, that sometimes means killing your progress).
With SoftKeys, you can move it around whenever you feel like, without having to exit the app you're using. Infinitely better.
Anyway, thanks for the tip about the swiping on the status bar. I did not know that!
Button Savior is annoying, I hate having to tap the little arrow as much as I hated tapping it for Softkeys before I set it up to use the Nook Hardware button; something Button Savior can not do..

As for the OP, just update in the market, works fine.

It doesn't work for me. The download completes, and then after it attempts the installation, I get the error:
Code:
Installation Error
Package file was not signed correctly.
I haven't seen this on any other market installations.
Khaytsus, I notice from your signature that you Auto-nooted from 1.0.1 whereas I Auto-nooted from 1.0. I wonder if that is the difference? I rooted from 1.0 thinking that it might provide more flexibility later -- and I hadn't heard anything about 1.0.1 that indicated I needed to start there.

Sure enough, I re-auto-nooted after upgrading to 1.0.1 and then I could download SoftKeys from the market just fine.
Howdy folks. First time poster here.
I recently bought a Nook Color that was rooted when I bought it. I believe it was with the auto-nooter 2.12.25, but I'm not sure.
Yesterday I just wiped the device, installed the 1.1 update from B&N and ran the auto-nooter 3.0.0. Everything seemed to go flawlessly.
My question is, how do you customize the softkeys? On the previous version it was set up so that a double-click on the home button brought up the softkeys. I loved that. I've tried doing that on the version I have now, but am unable to. I don't get the softkeys when I double tap the home button (and it's configured to do so in the settings.) and I'm stuck with the little grey button that brings up the softkeys, which I don't like. Any ideas? I thought about downloading another version of softkeys from the market but I don't want to cause any conflicts.
Thanks!
***Update.
Okay, after playing around some I realized the grey button I was referring too was the "popper" and that I could set the transparency of said button to 100% and it would disappear. Great, that solves that issue for me. I'm still having a bit of trouble getting the Nook Color the way I had it on the previous root (which was done by the person I bought it from.) It was a combo of softkeys and launcherpro which I thought worked awesomely. Is there an app other than launcherpro that might work better with the Nook Color?
Thanks again!

Hi
Yesterday I installed CM10.1 on my HD+ following the instructions from the big "Dummies" thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
Everything went without a hitch. Then google installed a bunch of my stuff and I am up and running. I have a few issues but I'll just focus on one big one:
When it is on the standard lock screen (which I only modified by adding weather and calendar) I swipe to open and it flicks to the corresponding app, and then within half a second jumps back to the lock screen! Once in a while I seem able to unlock it, but mostly I can't.
A bit of a show stopper obviously. I googled and didn't find anything like this.
Any suggestions? (I'm happy enough at the command line.)
Cheers
Dave

This sounds like the magnetic cover/case known issue. Just open the cover and don't touch the home button. Been discussed a lot. Search all threads.

Sorry, I just made a thread on this issue but I even took off the case. I got around the stuck on lock screen / flicker by turning it off. Not a solution but keeps me on the build.
The ROM is running great otherwise.
Also, any way to turn of Nook Screen when HDMI playing on TV. Uses much more of the battery.
