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.:

Question. I seem to have lost my home screen on touchwiz.now when I double click home it slides to the last page of however many pages I've set up no matter if I then shuffle them around each other. Additionally, in edit mode none of my home screen pages show a house icon, specifying home screen, ie the one touch wiz defaults to with home screen double click. anyone know how to restore a touchwiz home page?
There's no way to restore any screens once they get deleted on touchwiz . Sorry
Sent from my fonez so excuze the speling erors
just to be clear i'm not trying to restore a home screen that i've organized widgets and links with.. i'm just trying to reset one of the homescreens to the home one with a home icon. If you edit your homescreens you'll find that one of your screens has a house icon on it and thats the one touchwiz will swing to when you double click the home button.
Anyone?
you found one of the odities of the Touchwiz home screens. If you have less then 5 ( i think) the one on the end becomes your home and you can't change it. If you have 5 or more you can move them around to make the middle one home.
TouchWiz uses pane 4, or the highest number to it as Home. I've never found a way to change this. (aka 3 if you have 3...)
I too had this problem. The only way I found was to leave it on the 7 screen configuration, and just leave the end screens blank.
Hmmm. I seem to have stumbled into this as well. I didn't think it would be possible, but I deleted an empty page and now don't seem to be able to create a new one (now that I have more crap I want to load on one).
yes thats one of the bugs in touchwiz I think. Unless you have 7 screens; the rightmost screen becomes your Home screen. I tried looking for a solution for long time and no go yet. Lets wait for froyo update and may be a new touchwiz! btw you can always install launcher pro or ADWLauncher. But I think touchWiz is more sophisticated that those two.
There is a free app in the market, called SGS Screen Changer that let's you set the default screen when you use the Home Button (needs root and Busybox to work).
Good luck!
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.
My launcher (ADW Launcher Ex) resets about 100 times a day.
In fact, it resets every single time I use the "back" button or the "home" button to return to the home screen.
I.E. reboot phone. Unlock screen. I open handscent messaging app. I close the app (hitting back) and the entire launcher resets/reboots and lags my phone terribly.
I have no idea how to stop this.
I really don't want to do a full reset (have over 200 apps)
I am on Darky Rom 2.3.3 - 10.1 - Kernel Dark Core 2.4
I have about 7 or 8 widgets on my home screens too.
Anyone know how to stop this ?
Please someone help. I will donate $5 via paypal if you can fix this.
yup i'm using the same launcher and i notice it reset quite often.

Does this happen with other launchers? If doesnt,try reinstalling adw ex. Disable "Wallpaper Hack" in adw settings. Is your ram full all the time? Maybe system is running out of ram(samsung gingerbread problem). Also delete your taskiller apps and try Juwe´s ram script. Hope this helps
Solution
still someone need fix for this ?
spend long time searching for this resets...
i almost have the same issue with the go launcher.
after every reboot i have to assign the home screen to go launcher. it doesn't remember its previous setting...
My home screen (sense) used to rotate when I changed the phone's orientation, but it suddenly stopped doing that. Does anyone know how to fix this?
The problem only affects the the home screen, rotation works fine in all other apps
To be frank (not saying it's not possible), I've never seen an in store demo Incredible S homescreen rotate since it was released or on my personal hadnset (on a standard ROM). It was one of the first things I tried just to see the illuminated buttons at the bottom rotate too. Found I could only get it to rotate when in an app.
Yup it only rotates in app. As far as my knowledge surpasses, its only desire z that that has feature of rotating home screen.
Lol even i tried a lot to rotate the home screen when I got my silver desire last summer.

Owh thanks for that mate, will check it in a while...
CLT-L29. Phone updated to android 10 a few weeks ago. I was playing around changing the layouts on my screens when I decided I wanted a different screen as my default home screen. Went through the usual steps. Did the screen pinch or push and hold on a blank spot on the screen to get to the screen menu. At the top of the current home screen is a little home icon. I want to set a different screen as the default home screen but everything I've tried will not move the little home icon to the top of another screen. I can't find any option in any menu that allows me to select a different screen as the default home screen.
Was it ever possible in EMUI?..
You can drag the screen you want to be "home" all the way to the left.
Nope. I currently have 3 screens. With home screen loop turned off, the screen I want as the default home screen is already on the left. The middle screen is the home screen and moving them around doesn't change that the current default home screen still has the little home icon at the top of it when in screen editor mode. None of the other screens have the little icon and I can't move it to a different screen.
There has to be an easy way to select a specific screen as the default home screen without moving the order of the screens around. Worst case is that I'm going to have to move everything off the current home screen and move all the icons, widgets and folders that I want, back onto it.
I'm sure the option was available for version 9 but I can't remember now. Everything I wanted was on the default home screen.
Yes I'm having exactly the same problem. After the latest update it changed my home screen and there's no option to swap it, can only swap all apps and widgets onto the screen with home icon. Bit annoying that.
