I wonder how we can change the home screen slide down action for another purpose of use like down notifications.
I dont like using slide down action for phone search.
So can we change it?
I don't use home launcher, try using 3rd party launchers like lawnchair, nova, etc
disable bloatware hisearch

well this is really interesting (to me )
I'm using CM nightly, so it comes with ADW launcher
When I slide the home button (when in drawer) or drawer button (when at home screen) upward, the dock disappears, and even restarting ADW launcher doesn't help to bring it back...
Could someone please suggest how to bring the dock back again?
And also I'd like to know, what advantage does that function do..
thanks a lot
Go to where the app button is supposed to be and swipe down. I had the same problem.
Wow that works
Thanks a lot

This is a secondary application dock that you are seeing. Only there are no apps there so it just looks blank. Slide up on the home icon and the quick launch dock/panel appears, you can then drag an app icon to that area and it will stick to the quick launch dock. This is a good spot to keep a calculator, quickboot, titanium back-up; whatever you want.
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.
Hello, I have tried searching with no luck. I currently have Zeam installed and would like to somehow make a shortcut to the stock B&N launcher, so I can switch between the two quick. I know there is home switcher, but I don't want to have to access a separate program to switch home screens. I want to get to it from the zeam home screen. Thanks in advance.
I don't think you can do that unless you use home switcher.

If you have SoftKeys installed, you can set different homes for the hardware N button and the SoftKeys home button. I have mine set so that the SoftKeys home button takes me to the B&N stock home, and the hardware N button takes me to Zeam.

I also use softkeys. Currently I'm set up so that a single press of the N button brings up softkeys. A short press on the softkeys home key takes me to Zeam and a long press takes me to the B&N launcher. Also, a quick double tap of the N button will take me straight to Zeam.
Like one of the other posters said, I don't think that there's an elegant way to place a shortcut on the Zeam home screen. A more "hackish" solution would be to remove the default action for your N button press. That way when you press the N button, it will prompt you to choose either B&N or Zeam.
Please help me, my son accidentally changed the default homescreen to a rotating 3D homescreen how can I set it back to the default home screen?
Please show me the steps on how to do this. Thanks guys.
any help anyone?
Simplest way it's download another launcher in then it will give toy then choice to choose from that or stock when you press home
You can also uninstall from the market just select menu so you know the name sounds like sb shell launcher

It was change to Live wallpapers..by your son accidentally
you can press on the homescreen and a popup menu will appear, from there
choose wallpapers then choose wallpaper gallery and change your wallpaper
thats it..
by the way I hope you could specify a little more so that we can help..
hope this help in anyway..
Assuming you're talking about an alternative launcher, and you want to go back to the original Samsung one, you would do it as follows. Tap Settings on the home screen, Applications, and Manage applications. Now mine is ADW Launcher, so I'd tap that, but if yours is a different one, tap that. If you don't know which one it is, just look through the list for a likely candidate. If it isn't on the Thir-party tab, you could try All. Anyway, once you've found the launcher, tap it, and on the next screen tap Clear defaults. Close all screens. Now back on the home screen, tap the Home button. It should open a window where you can select Use by default for this action. Tap that, and then Samsung Home. From now on the original Samsung launcher will be used.
Thanks guys for the tips...it's working now
I used to have double tab nav bar to turn off display on my previous Pixel and Nexus phones (rooted of course) but don't have a nice way to configure it here.
I ended up downloading Custom Navigation Bar (app) to add two buttons to the side but they're for "menu" and "search".
If there isn't a way to configure the hard press I'll just change one of the above to do it, but I like having those two options as well on the lower part of the phone.
This is perhaps not what you want, but I'm using Nova launcher and I set it to lock the phone at a double tap. Of course, this doesn't work if you're in another app, but I go to Home anyway before I lock the phone.

yeah i'd like to have something that can be used from anywhere. also nova's screen lock feature hard locks the phone, requiring a pin/pattern unlock (not the face/finger print unlock). i have my bixby button remapped to do this, just for that super rare occassion when i'm someplace and need my phone locked immediately.
