Hello, i need to change my default launcher, in my rom its comes with Launcher Pro by default, and i want to integrate with Go Launcher instead, but, to be used to default when i install the by Open Recovery, and i removed the Launcher Pro. Any file i need to change to make the Go Launcher the default launcher ?
Thanks
I'm not sure I understand what you did. But if you installed GO Launcher and then removed Launcher Pro, as soon as you reboot GO Launcher will be the home app.
Or, if you have both installed, you could go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->LauncherPro and then hit "Clear defaults" in the "Launch by default" section. Reboot and when phone comes up it will ask you to select which launcher to use (you can mark the checkbox to make it default).
no, i want to make these change directly from the zipped rom. Not when i install this ROM.

Just remove launcherpro.apk ( or whatever it is called ) from /system/app and replace it with the go launcher.apk
Thanks. I will try this.
You know how i can set too the configurations of apps and system by default too. For example, set by default to accept install of unknow sources, Jit disabled, etc. ?

i have a similar issue. i used a ROM with Go Launcher set as the default, but i prefer ADW Launcher. i installed that and set it as the default launcher...but now how can i uninstall Go Launcher? it can't be uninstalled through the applications menu (greyed out). is there any easy way?
thanks...

Try removing it through Applications > All. If not, remove it from system/app using Root Explorer.
I couldn't find a separate thread on the latest Market visibility issue, but it's discussed in several threads. So I created this one to be easily found and hopefully help some people.
EDIT: Check this thread with more updated information.
The Issue
After upgrading or making changes, many people are not able to see all market apps that they did before, or several appear to be incompatible.
The Solution
It seems that the Market uses LCD density as a filtering item. Changing the Nook lcd density to 160 brings back compatibility.
The Options
(1) If you are on CM7, upgrade to at least the latest stable (10-12-2011) which includes a fix for the resolution.
(2) Get the LCD Resolution app from the Market and change the density to 160 (check "Always Set on Boot" option). Then clear data from the Market app via app manager/App Info or Settings. You will need to accept google T&C's again when you next open up Market. Some people have reported that they need to clear data several times before it shows all apps. App added for those that need to sideload.
(3) Edit build.prop to set the density to 160. Then clear the Market data as in step 2.
(4) Use an app like Titanium Backup to uninstall the marker updater app. Then uninstall the market update and clear the data/cache in the market app and reboot.
I'm not running CM7, so that's out.
I can't get anything at all to display in the market, so the LCD Resolution app is out.
How do I go about editing the build.prop file to change the LCD density by hand?
EDIT: Likely a dumb question but I'll ask anyway... The NC is the 2nd device that's registered to my same gmail account. That's not causing issues, is it?
You missed an option. Use an app like Titanium Backup to uninstall the marker updater app. Then uninstall the market update and clear the data/cache in the market app and reboot.

Well, if I could get access to ANY applications in the Marketplace, I'd be happy to give that a try...
I get a message that says "No matching content in Android Market." when I start up the market. I searched for Titanium Backup, but it said "There are no matches in Android Market for the search: titanium backup", and presented me with one possible app to install - OI File Manager
EDIT: OK, I've been playing around a bid with ADB, and I can rummage around the guts of my phone, but I can't get it to recognize the NC. I'm on WinXP, do I need to get some drivers to get it to recognize the NC? I've turned on the WirelessADB that comes as a part of the MN package, and ADB still doesn't seem to recognize it.
What am I missing????

1. If you have someone to send you the app (sorry, I don't have it), copy it to your NC then sideload from there.
2. Using either Root Explorer or File Expert to modify the build.prop.
Do some search on the topic to know what need to be done.
3. I don't think it's a problem but again, it's just me.

1. If you keep getting that issue, I suggest doing a complete re-install again.
2. ADB is a pain and isn't for everyone. ADB via USB needs SDK and usb driver. ADB over wireless is another issue, someone says it's too easy, I can never get mine to work.
3. Which CM7 version is currently on your NC? PC shouldn't have problem recognizing the NC if you turn on the USB Mass Storage feature.
OK, so I managed to connect adb to my NC, I pulled the build.prop file, and opened it in eclipse.
Here's what it says:
# ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.sf.widthpixels=600
ro.sf.heightpixels=1024
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.33333
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.33333
Looks like the density numbers are close. Do I need to change them both to exactly 160?
thanks!

I could be totally off on this, but I finally got the steps (in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027&page=156) to work when I cleared the data from the Market in Nook Color Tools. The instructions say to clear the cache in the Market, and clear data in Google Framework. I was mucking around a lot, doing things a little differently each time, but I know that the time that it worked was the first time I cleared data in the Market in addition to clearing the cache.
Of course, once it was working, it updated Flash since it had cleared my preference NOT to update flash...

lcd_density is the one.
Did you comment it out?

You can uninstall the market update and clear the data/cache and then launch the market. That would give you temporary access to the old market.

Thanks, no, I didn't comment it out, it was that way when I opened it.
I can adb pull the file & edit it, but I can't put it back because the file is RO. I tried
Code:
chmod 777 build.prop
but it won't let me do that - says it's a read only system file. I know that, I want to change it!!!
I don't have an app on the NC to change the permissions on the file, and I can't get one because I have a very limited market. Catch-22...
How do I go about changing the permissions so I can overwrite the file? I thought that's what I was supposed to be able to do with adb.
EDIT: If I clear data for the Market, then reboot, when I go back in to the Market, I have to accept permissions, and I get some access to the market, including search. I searched for TB & installed it, so I now have that available to me!! (Yay for progress!) Any other critical apps I should install this way to simplify the job getting this fixed?
Is their a way to change only the market to have 160 dpi and everything else 161? The way i have my nook set up it looks bad with 160 but i love the look of the new market
Edit: I got it thanks
Glad you got it working, can you share with the rest of the class?
Sure, Change your dpi to 160 then clear the market data and reboot. After you reboot change your dpi back to 161 DON'T clear the market data then reboot. Now your market is still at 160 and everything else is 161 dpi.
Edit: It goes away after awhile, looking for a new solution.
I'm confused. Still having trouble with market access...quite a number of apps (like Facebook, for instance) don't show up in the market at all. I installed the app mentioned above, and my LCD density was already at 160.
So my question is - does this mean the market access problem is something else? Or is it that that many apps really aren't compatible with the Nook anymore?

After changing my dpi to 160 and clearing market data facebook and other apps show up and are compatible.

You don't mention your setup, so it's possible that you could have updated to CM7 with the correct resolution but would still be left with the old market cache data.
In any case, try and clear out the Market cache and see if that helps.

I`m on rooted stock 1.3. I thought clearing the data wo held also clear the cache, but will try and report back.
I am out of ideas, i cleared the market cache then refalashed CM7 7.1 Stable and the 20110828 gapps to go with it and i still have the bad market.
Did you say you got it working on the top this page?
What now?
Hi I just took out the apk for go sms then changed the android smileys in 7-zip on windows, I changed the icons to 24 x 24 pixels png files. Then put the apk back on my phone, into data/app on my phone memory. It copies fine changed the permissions, but the app won't run, I even tried installing the apk, but it says application not installed after trying. What am I doing wrong?
sorry figured it out, had to change the owner of the app in root explorer for it to work :-D
Sir, howd you change owner? what should i choose? ive tried to change but it says it cant change.. i wanted to replace go sms icon.

Try installing ES file explorer. Go to tools,set root explorer to On and grant it SU access. Then,select mount r/w and set system to read/write. Then go to /system/app/ and delete the MXHome launcher and put in any other launcher.

If you can get to kindle settings then goto the launcher that is crashing under I think it was apps or running processes, and clear its defaults that it is associated with, you should be able to choose another launcher by hitting the home button once you do that.
