Help my phone shows stock android screen

I want the HTC screen back not this ugly screen. I also only have 3 slide screens now too.

Uhm... we are going to need a lot more information from you to be able to help.
What did you do before you got the stock android home screen?
Tell us the steps you did to create your issue. We are not psychic.

some screen popped up asking me about HOME and HTC Sence. I clicked Home because I thought it would take me to my home screen and I clicked it to do it by default, because this screen kept showing up for the last 2 days. I know it has something to do with the toddler lock I installed, because it was that program asking me. It happened because my daugter turned the phone off some how while it was still playing.

1. Press MENU button.
2. Press Settings.
3. Press Applications.
4. Press Manage Applications.
5. Wait for the OS to compute application usage.
6. Scroll down the list until you see HTC Sense and select it to go to the Application Info page.
7. Press the Clear Defaults button.
8. Press the HOME button. You should be prompted to select which app to compete the action with. Select HTC Sense and chose to make this the default action.
Hope this helps.

that didn't work but your instructions helped because the next step was to go select HOME instead and clear the defaults there. Maybe that's what you meant.

haha sorry... I'm clearly not awake yet. At any rate, glad you got it sorted!
Happy new year!

[TIPP] How to REALLY turn off the Lockscreen (root required)

After YEARS of asking and searching I did not give up the hope that some day there will be found a real (no, NOT NO LOCK!) solution how to turn off the Lockscreen.
Well, I found it and it's also pretty easy:
1. Download SQLite Editor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=de)
3. Select the app "Settings Storage" "com.motorola.android.providers.settings (not the other one!)
4. Select "settings.db"
5. Select "settings"
6. Longpress on value 64 named "screen_lock" select "Edit Field" and set it to value "0"
7. Reboot
Voila the Lockscreen is gone for ever! (It won't go away if you have security pattern activated!)
Hope this helped!

Tried it, worked flawlessly, but I need my clock from the lock screen.. haha
To those who wonder what it does, it locks the screen, and acts like normal, but you no longer have to slide to unlock.

Ye I also need the clock

Well, then you also need the Lockscreen. I have a clock widget. I really hated the lockscreen, ever since, on ALL devices I had. But now there's finally a solution.

Worked perfectly!

Just replying to this thread to remind myself that I took the steps outlined in the first post to disable the lock screen. Here's hoping it works out well... and leaving a trail to undo it if I need to.
So far, so good.
edit: make sure you long press on the 0/1 column of field 64. Don't edit the field name. That should be obvious.

[launcher] AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)

I recently rooted my NST with NookManager, and was looking to run a "stealth" root under stock. I used the Nook Touch Mod Manager to change the LONG PRESS on the 'n' button to launch THIS. After some fiddling with the options, it pops up a single 5 x 8 grid of apps on a white background with black text. You can long press on an app to hide it. Simple and fast.
I'll be happy to post a screenshot if I can figure out how to take one! :cyclops:

This is the best app for a rooted NSTG No need to fiddle with different launchers, it just works as an extension to the B&N homescreen. Thanks for the tip!

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly do you 'fiddle with the options'? The app opens in fullscreen mode, and i can't find the way to get the status bar to show up, tried everything...
my nook simple touch rooted with nook manager, so relaunch is the shell(or whatever it's called) from which i run app drawer...
Thanks!

I had this issue with another app and here is what I did:
Temporarily assign the "Menu" function to one of the hardware keys using NookTouchModManager (unless you have it set up that way already for other purposes--I keep a long-press on one button this way just in case).
When you launch your app you will now have a way to access menu functions even though it is running full-screen. In my case I was able to change the settings on my app so it would *not* run full-screen by default, but that is probably not what you want in this instance. After you have made your adjustments, you can change the hardware key back to its default, although I think keeping both a "Back" and "Menu" option around is not a bad idea.

VERY late reply...
I use an app called Button Savior which lets you add a set of software buttons which expand or collapse when you touch an assigned target point on your screen. (I have mine set to a long press in the lower left corner, and since I bought the pro version I can customize my target to be invisible.) That way I can always get to a menu button if I need one.
Don't have my NST with me, so I can't tall you what version I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it's the current version on Google Play.

I came across this old post and thought I'd look up the app to see what it was like. I've attached a copy below.
This is not actually a "launcher" despite what the thread title says. It is plain-and-simple an App Drawer. But as the OP said, it can provide almost a "stealth" modification of the NST. To me it seems ideal for the person who says "I only want to root so I can run app x--I don't want a lot of stuff on it."
There are a few hurdles to get to that point, so here is a brief outline of steps to get it working:
1. Root with NookManager (update it first if you're rooting FW 1.2.2)
2. Install the app along with a good file manager like ES File Explorer which will give you root access when you need it (ReLaunch can't).
3. Use Nook Touch Mod Manager to assign a button press (maybe a long-press?) to the MIUI app. You can use one of the hardware buttons or (less "stealth") one of the QuickNav buttons you don't use like Social, or Shop or Search.
4. Temporarily assign one of the hardware buttons to "Menu". This is needed because the MIUI app opens in full screen by default and you can't get at the settings without the Menu button.
5. Run the MIUI app and configure as you want (there is an option not to hide the status bar). Once you have the appearance you are after note that you can long-press on an app to (among other things) hide it from the drawer or even uninstall it. I suggest you uninstall ReLaunch.
6. Go back to Nook Touch Mod Manager and remove the temporary "Menu" button assignment.
And you're good! Your NST still looks and works like its old self but you're one button-press away from accessing any apps you may want to install. And you have a decent file manager

[Q] Can you enable logo menu button AND in-app 3-dot menus?

i have my HTC button mapped to the menu button. i've noticed that all the mods that remove the black 3-dot menu button that pops up across the bottom of the screen also remove the built-in 3-dot menu button in apps (like the one in the upper right of the Google Play Store, for instance). i assume this is because they are being told there is a hardware menu button, so they shouldn't show their built-in menus.
my question: is there a way to remove the annoying black bar across the bottom menu button, but keep the built-in app menu buttons?

Install a jellybean sense rom. Hold home for menu and keep the built in menu on apps that have it.

thanks, but i was hoping for a way that would work across ROMs.

build.prop change to fix this
I've managed to fix this by changing build.prop
Edit or add the entry
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
In /system/buildprop, save and reboot
The value was 1 previously.
Edit: This is also with having the Bulletproof ROM installed.
Edit 2: On further inspection, I can't seem to get it to work while also hiding the three dot menu on the legacy apps. Gah.

OK so I have it working again as expected and I am not sure how I did it ... in the Play Store app I get the three dot menu up the top right and in other apps, the menu bar is missing. My build.prop file has no entry for qemu.hw.mainkeys anymore... so maybe it's something in my ROM? Currently Bulletproof 5.3.

[Q] soft keys have progressively failed

My soft keys have all seemed to fail and not responding to touch. It started with the back button and then I went into settings and rearranged the buttons and all was good for about a week. Now the home and menu buttons are not responsive or you have to tap like 20 times until it registers. I haven't dropped the phone or got it wet and I have the quick window case on it. Anyone else experience this issue? Is it fixable or is my digitizer most likely going bad? As of right now, the only option I have is to use the phone in landscape mode with the buttons on the left side of the screen. I will most likely reinstall factory recovery, unroot, save all of my music and pics and then factory reset. I even have the issue when booted into TWRP which leads me to believe that the digitizer is going bad.

Sounds like DEFINITELY a digitizer problem. The fact that it still does it in TWRP really proves that IMO

Try going to your hidden settings menu thru the phone's dial pad. How? - just dial 3845#*???# replace the "???" With whichever variant yours is. I'm T-Mobile so mine is the D959 so I use 3845#*959# … you don't have to hit send or do anything … it will automatically open up a menu list. In this list you will see a "Settings" option. Click it. Then in the next window, scroll down it's list towards the bottom and you'll see an option for "Update Touch Firmware". Select it. … you're phone will be froze and unresponsive for about 5 -10 seconds. Once it becomes responsive again just exit via the "back" key or "home" key or however you want. You won't see anything happen or anything change or notifying you that its updating or that it finished/or worked. It just does. Not sure if this will help you , but it heps fix mine when the knock to wake stops working. Just a idea give it a shot. It won't hurt anything. And don't mess with anything else in that hidden menu if you're not sure what your default setting is or know what it does. You can really mess it up in there. Good luck.

I gave that a shot and nothing happens after dialing the code; i'm on the sprint version. Was going to try flashing back to stock and see if that helps; trying to find the thread to do so and to download the .tot files.

I flashed back to stock and upgraded to KK. The button problem sorta went away; acts funny in some apps to where home or menu won't respond and takes a few taps for back button to register. I found the correct way to access the hidden menu for the sprint variant and screen test is showing a dead area when doing the drawing test:
The Secret code to access hidden menu on LG G Flex LS995 is different.
Dial 5689#*995# , You will access the hidden menu on G Flex.

4. Select All Auto Test – Full.
