Recently, every time I reboot my phone, I get asked what app I want to use for the Home button action, I can check remember but it only remembers my selection till the next reboot. Anyone know whats going on?

The only time that I ever see that behavior is when one of my many homescreen / launcher apps have auto-updated in the market. I don't know of anything that would cause that setting to be lost on each reboot though.
Hello all, I am really wanting to change the default launcher on the nook color but my wife is being a hard sell. She doesn't want to lose the scrolling book cover feature that runs along the bottom of the home screen. Are there any apps or widgets out there that will allow this feature on an alternate launcher? I would love to do more with my home screen but she uses it more than I do so I need to accommodate her as well.

you could install zeam and just never check the checkbox for the what the default home screen should be. That way when you click N it'll give you a prompt to which homescreen you want to go to. I did that and I keep accidentally checking the box while navigating through. I wish there was a way to have a widget to link to the BnN homescreen so I could navigate there if and when I want to, which isn't too often. But it's kind of like a cyber book shelf and I don't care much for the library interface.
Just get the home switcher app from the market.

You could use home switcher or alternatively, go to uninstall the application and reset the default behavior.
Also, installing another Launcher will bring the choice back
Yea, I totally feel you guys. I was just trying to avoid having to switch home screens. Have my cake and eat it too sort of situation. Maybe I will play with some ideas tonight and repost if I discover any neat tricks... (of course that assumes I can pry it away from her...)
I would say install SoftKeys and set it as the home launcher. Then in the SoftKeys app set it so one hardware click B&N Launcher and two hardware clicks your custom luncher. So when she uses it the home button brings the nook home screen but if you want the custom launcher press it twice I do the opposite but I still access the old launcher every now and then
you need another nc.

How do you set two launchers to the Home button with Softkeys? I only get launcher and softkeys as options.
B&N home popup
I installed Zeam, but still frequently get the B&N popup when I try to go back by left swiping the soft arrow at the bottom. How do I kill that?
Go to the settings for SoftKeys and you can set a short press of the button for one launcher and a long press for a different launcher.
My preferred lancher is ADW. I downloaded AnyCut from the market and used it to make a shortcut to "Home" on the desktop. That opens the Nook home screen if I want it. You can also download Home Switcher or Home Manager from the market to open a different launcher or change the default.
So I found out that using Desktop Visualizer on Launcher Pro Plus that I can create a widget to launch B&N Home. Problem solved. Now I have two new ones:
1) My keyboard keeps flipping out and doing repeated button presses
2) I can't add shortcuts to the Launcher Pro home screen (widgets = fine, shortcuts = no dice)
Anyone else having these issues? I know that, regarding the keyboard, I just installed a screen protector right before it started having problems, but I can't imagine how that could cause them. I may just wait it out and if it persists, try a factory reset...
Edit: I also forgot that problem #3 is that I can't remove or change shortcuts in the dock for Launcher Pro. Kind of lame to have my dock icons as phone, contacts, and messaging...

I have yet to find anywhere to long press the physical home button, only the soft button. I'd like to be able to launch an alternative launcher (or the softkeys themselves) with a long press rather than double press.

I've tried 4 different launchers and no matter how I set their respective Home Button options, I still get the B&N popup from the soft button. How can it override the launcher settings?

You mean the Carrot/Arrow button? You're always going to get that, it's part of the framework. Most likely that won't go away until a custom ROM is available.
Ah, thanks. Crap
One other option is to use the original B&N Home with Smart Taskbar and Button Savior. You won't have widgets on your screen at all times, ST makes a pretty decent launcher for other apps.
I am having a bit of a problem with Apex launcher after I finish talking on the phone an trying to return to home screen.
What happens is that when I call someone and then hangup and try to go to home screen, the apex launcher seems to be not running and then it will launch which takes a few seconds. This is kind of anoying, and I hope there's a fix to it.
To reproduce the problem you must call someone and have few second of talk time and then hang up, and press home button. Then Apex is closed, and it relaunches.
I have Apex v1.0.2 and Android 4 through CM9 on TMobile HD2. IceCreamTosti_v1.0.
How to fix/avoid this problem? Have anyone encountered it? I have tried googling it but I haven't got any reasonable results.
Ok, this doesn't happend only when calling. When I, for example, run the Google market app (not play store) then click hangup/red button then go back unlock the screen and try to go to home page it also seem that apex is closed and it relaunches.
Over the last two days I've noticed that if I use the back button to back out of apps it takes me to the Sense launcher instead of Nova. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Go to Settings then apps then pick all then look for htc sense scroll down and hit clear defaults then hit home again and pick nova and always..
OK I picked up my GG last week and slowly but surely I been tweaking it and decided to root and install null-14. So far I have root, on UK firmware and and free falling theme. For some reason when I move my GG to see time or perform a task the motion sends a command to NOVA Launcher and instead of a default home screen I get the screen that shows five home screens with center chosen as default (checked mark) I can seem to fix this issue. All I can do is touch the screen and then it goes to the default home screen with all my widgets and icons. Am I missing something? this only happens when I choose NOVA as my launcher no problem with Touchwiz launcher. below is the screen shot of what greets me every time I do a motion to look at the time.:
