hello guys. im about to use lmt launcher but i have a question regarding the one that is inside the red box. i want the wake/sleep be integrated in the lmt launcher but i dont know how to do it. for example, on pie 1 i will be assigning the back action, pie 2 the home action and pie 3 the recent apps action. i want the wake/sleep on the pie 4 but i dont know how to do it. i also dont want any 3rd party applications for that. lets just say that i want the navigation keys be on the lmt launcher. i hope you get my point.
any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance guys.

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.
Sup,
When you longpress the Home button you can swipe it up to the Google Now.
I don't really like this Google Now. It would be way better if you could start any App via Home button. i.e Camera.
So does anyone know of a fix/hack/mod to change Google now ?

but thr s not longpress on home button it s just swipe up from everywhr on bottom bar
and i don think on stock rom maybe u can change it by custom rom like CM
check feature of CM10.1 for xperia Z
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/03/05/cyanogenmod-10-1-now-available-for-xperia-z/
You're right. But Longpress also works ^^
Ah well, I'll wait for official 4.2 and switch toa custom ROM then.
Hey @Haldi4803
I suggest you take a look at the excellent Slide Launcher which allows for launching multiple custom actions, including camera app, quicktext a contact, etc.
If all you want is launch a single app, no question asked, you may use Home Button Launcher
that looks awesome! Thx dude!
I use the N6 as a righty so having to reach for the back button in one handed use is tough. Has anyone seen an easy way to swap the back and recents soft keys?
You'd have to root to swap. Try Pie controls from the app stote. Make sure to enable the back button in the settings.

I always install this one on every Android device. Started with the note 2 [emoji2]
Only have home, back, and recent on the pie
LMT Launcher is on all my phones. It's not really a Launcher either, just the name.
Not yet available, will have to wait for custom ROMs with this feature or manually do the changes via code.
Hello,
I have tried Nova Launcher and Xposed Additions pro and nothing seems able to allow me to COMPLETELY map at all times "double press of home = applications list"
I don't care how "evil" it is, I want my iphone and my android to behave identically. - If you told me I'd want this a year ago, I wouldn't believe you - but alas I NEED to use an iphone as my secondary phone, regularly.
I _REALLY_ want double press home to be "recent app list" at ALL times.
It's inconsistent under Nova Launcher.
Under Xposed Additions ($4 no less,.. thank god for refunds) I can only choose to launch an application, not do a hard function (show recent app list)
Yes, I've completely disabled S-Voice, I couldn't care less about Google Now - that's disabled too (I think)
Help!? someone - what do I need to do, to make this work, ***consistently***.
Note: at least Nova Launcher allows me to swipe down to bring up the recent app search.
You have a capacitive button for that. Don't think many people will come to your aid on this. You could try playing around in the keyboard XML and see if you can do some experimenting to get what you want.
I was just thinking today it would be really cool if the on screen buttons were removed and replaced with swipe up gestures from the bottom of the screen. Is there anything that does this or something similar?

Swype Navigation in the play store. Requires root.
My favorite nav bar alternative is pie. Lots of different setting. I swipe from the right and get a pie shaped nav bar there.

That's the free version. There is a paid one as well.

Sounds just like regular Immersive mode. A lot of custom ROMS include this.
There is also the Fling interface one. might be like swype navigation, not sure.

For me too, the very best you can choose between swipe gestures, pie, invisible swipe gestures, or all at the same time !!!
