Is anyone aware of a nookhome alternative available for the Nook HD+?
For anyone not familiar, nookhome was a simple little app that would let you return to your original Nook Home screen, say if you had installed another launcher like GO Launcher or ADW or what have you, and set it as the default, this app would let you return to the original home screen and then pressing the home button would take you back to your third-party launcher. It was useful for those rare instances when you might need to return to the original home screen for something and had no easy way to get back to it. I used this app on my Nook Tablet quite a bit but it doesn't work with the HD+.

Yes, use Anycut, and create a shortcut to the activity named 'home'.
Thanks. Now I feel really stupid.
I already had Anycut installed and just hadn't paid attention to their being a Home activity.
I appreciate the help.

No worries, we all have to learn. I found that the B&N store and library were two other shortcuts I wanted.

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,

I'm enjoying my rooted NC with ADW Launcher and various other apps etc. The one thing I'd really enjoy is a shortcut to immediately go back to my book after doing something else, web, facebook etc.
Presently, I have to go back to my home screen, click on the library and then click on my book again.
Any other workaround to go back to my Currently open book? On the native B&N Home Launcher it's a quick shortcut at the top of the screen to Keep Reading...any thoughts?
This is something that I am interested in as well.
Hopefully someone has an idea.
+1 - wondered why the book icon didn't do anything

I'm interested too. Someone ?
OK, so I switched to the NC launcher to try and set a new wallpaper and now I have no idea how to switch back to zeam.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Download Home Switcher from the market.
Sorry guess I should have been clearer - I can't get back to see the market. It's like it gone back to factory.
just burn autonooter to an sd card and run it. you should then be able to get your rooted apps
To a different SD card? Or can I use the one in the NC?

It's not in the extras menu? (I think it's extras, I don't have my NC with me at the moment).

I too believe its under extras. You should be able to access the market from there as I can't see anyway you could remove root from switching wallpapers (also you dont need to switch to the BN launcher to do that, just hit the little arrow pointing up at the bottom and then settings.
Do you have access to ADB? If so, just install it that way, then go into your extras and launch from there...
I'm running 3.0, preview 4, and I had a question about the long press. On every video online, the long press on the home screen allows you to go into a screen that has apps on the bottom, and a display of all your home pages on top. In addition, there's a while boarder around each home page (that you can see when you scroll). Not only do I not have the thin white line boarder around the pages, but when I long press, it acts like 2.2 where it gives you a menu for widgets, shortcuts, etc.
What do I need to do to get the long press option everyone else has? Is that launcher pro, or am I just simply overlooking a simple setting?
Thanks everyone.
Nobody knows?
It's a feature of whatever launcher is being used...

Does anyone know the launcher everyone is using then with 3.0 on Nooks? I want to guess it's Launcher Pro Plus, but I don't want to buy it until I know that's what I need.
Thanks for the reply btw.

Sounds like you are describing the stock launcher, which I use. I am not sure if it is different with deeper blues build, if that is what you are running. I am running HC on emmc version 2. I thought the two were basically the same, however.

What's weird is I have the same version as this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CEC0fcfbpM
...and yet, I don't have the +apps button on the top right, nor the boxes around each home screen which can be seen when he swipes between them, or the long press widget screen. It almost feels like mine acts more like Froyo with a pretty layer of HC on top. To confirm, mine is Deeper Blue's Preview V04.

Same stock launcher that I have. You may try to reinstall the Rom with a new image.
Do you know good instructions here to download a version of 3.0 that installs internally and that's over clocked but has the launcher shown above? (IE: yours)?
Thanks man.

So, if I read your post correctly, are you saying you now want to go with Honeycomb with an internal build, to the eMMC?
If so, then you need to check out samuelhalff's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071
I have been running that build since it first came out and loving it.
Sam's build will give you the stock launcher you see in the YouTube video you posted earlier. You should have also gotten that with the SD build from deeper-blue, but I have never run that version of HC, so cannot verify with certainty.
If any issues, you can always PM me and I will help you where I can (from a user perspective, not dev).
Good luck!
Quick question. I'm trying to over clock my 3.0 HC system, and in the instructions on Androidtablets.net says I need to find a program called Rom Manager to boot from. Where is this? I can't find it.
EDIT: Ok I'm dumb, it's an app... just trying to get it to install successfully. Thanks for dealing with a noob .
Ok, I'm trying to put clockwork recovery on there (since I didn't understand I needed to do that.. duuuhhrrrrrr). I downloaded the zip file, and put it on my SD card. I booted up Rom Manager, and hit Flash Clockworkmod recover. Then clicked Nook (old). However, it says 'An error occurred when attempting to run privileged commands!'.
Did I miss a step somewhere? Hopefully this is a slightly less embarrassing question . Thanks!
Hi all,
Looking for a new launcher to try - I hate having the Google Now long press on my Home button - just hate everything Google Now.
In your experience, what's the best alternative launcher? Or perhaps, even more ideally, how can I turn that damn long press off? Can I change that through GravityBox?
Anyway, any insight is appreciated, as always!
Well, my Gravitybox has no such option. The only alt-Launcher i tried was Nova. What i really liked about it (and am missing despite GravityBox) was the "scroll-through" or "loop" when swiping continuously in any direction. But really, the Google Launcher is good enough for me. Why do you need the long press free, is there something nearby or similar..?
try nova launcher
My selection of best launchers !
Trust me I tested them ALL !
There's no such a thing as a "perfect laucher"....but since I hate Google now too, maybe you like my picks for a lightweight, customizable, feature rich, googless launcher:
1. L launcher
2. Slim Rom launcher
3. Nova launcher (is a classic!)
4. DarkLauncher (new but promising!)
I've tried quite a few over the years for various devices and keep coming back to good 'ole Nova (which is what I'm using currently on my Play).
Another one I really liked was Lightning Launcher because it's completely customizable but the performance wasn't as snappy as Nova. I haven't tried it on the Play and it's been a few months so might have to give it a shot again.
I have layers it.s okay
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your great recommendations. I've been on an installing spree today! I'm going to try all of the recommendations and go from there.
I'm wondering something though - it appears that no matter which launcher I have selected if I long-press the Home button I still launch the Google App. Am I messing something up here? Do I need to make the new launcher default to circumvent this? So far I've only been using them per Home press - (Just once instead of Always).
Looking forward to trying these things out! I want to uninstall Google Now. I gotta look up how to uninstall system apps..
I've been using Go launcher for last 6 years. It's perfect for me.

As you are rooted, I know that ?
Just install titanium Backup and uninstall the Google now. I too uninstalled it as I didn't use it at all and it always got in between my tasks. ?

Which is...?
PHey all,
Currently I'm using Nova. It's been working out great. I love being able to customize how many items are on my dock. I rock the dock and my dock is definitely bigger than yours. ;P
Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. Once again, appreciate the community here on XDA.

Nova Launcher is pretty sexy. I had to go pro - just love it so much. The gestures increase my geeky productivity 100x.
