Have you tried hitting the "Clear Defaults" button in whatever homescreen you are using?
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>[Whatever home you are using currently]>Clear Defaults.
That should let you bring it up again (don't check "Use this by default" when it comes up or else you'll lose it again)

[Q] zeam fullscreen

Help!!!!!. How do I get out of full screen zeam?
I found the flag and set and now I now longer have the battery and navigation screen on the bottom so I can no longer go back to preferences and turn full screen off. I have button savior turned on but zeam does not recognize the menu button so I am stuck. I am running on a NC version 1.1.0 with Autonooter 3.0. Please Help. I find it pretty stupid that you can't access a menu to turn off full screen.
I usually assign an up swipe to show/hide the notification bar. Can you long press on the desktop and get a preferences menu?
Nope, I assume by upswipe, you mean swiping from the bottom up but that didn't work. Tried swiping right to left and tried the long press. Nothing happens. I guess I may have to restore the data file from titanium but I was hoping to find another way to this.
Long pressing on one of your home screens should bring up a menu that has 3 options: "Add Item", "Set Wallpaper", and "Preferences". Selecting "Preferences" should bring you to the Zeam Preference menu.

Thank you. I tried the long press on the main home screen and nothing happened. I had to go to the third page and then do the long press. I guess because I have some apps and widgets running on the main screen. Anyway I got it back. Thank you for your help.

Zeam launcher, how to make it not default

I liked Zeam Launcher as it had a quick and easy way to get to apps. Now that I switched my applauncher from 1.2 back to 1.1 I can now get them through the B&N apps button and I want to make Softkeys my home launcher. Soft keys has better access to the books I am reading, as the now reading button works.
I go into Home launcer, and it shows Zeam as my default launcher. I choose Softkeys, it show up above as default, but for some reason it doesen't become the default launcher. Am I missing something? Any suggestions?
open soft keys, go to settings, go to virtual home button,tap normal press button, select "home" instead of zeam. exit and push the nook N button and will load the BN home.

It worked one time, then went back to Zeam. When I opened up settings again, Home is still checked.
Try Home Switcher

Do you have soft keys set as your default launcher?

N64oid

I can play games just fine, but how do quit the game and play another. I currently reboot to change games. Thanks.

I think I had the same issue when I first used N64oid. N64oid has "stretch to fit screen" enabled by default. This makes it so that you do not see the status bar (with the necessary menu button on it) during rom play.
I fixed this by starting N64oid anew. You should be at the "select rom" screen. Before loading anything, select the "menu" button. Then select "settings", then "audio & video settings", then uncheck the "stretch to fit screen" box under the video settings. Exit out to the "select rom" screen.
Load your rom. Now you should have access to the status bar with the menu button while in gameplay. To exit out of roms just select "menu, then "more", then "close". Hope that works for you like it did me.
Get "button savior". It will put an unobtrusive overlay on the screen which provides back functionality if you're rooted.

I've also found that in certain games (Angry Birds Seasons for one) that the "N" button works as a back button so I can access the game menus and then I can select "quit". I haven't tried on other games yet but thought I'd throw this out there....

This. I can't say how happy I've been now that I can actually open up menus and go back when the status bar decides to hide those soft buttons, or when an app goes full screen.
I had the problem of not being able to get Terminal Emulator out of white-on-blue text... it was hideous...

I tried the button savior but still cannot exit rom to choose another rom. Did I just miss something?

When you hit the back button on Button Savior what does it do? Shouldn't that exit the current emulation, and allow you to choose another ROM?
Or rather, better: what exactly are you trying with button savior, and what are you getting? Clicking on the back button results in N64roid doing nothing? Or?
It took me awhile to figure out how to use Button Savior until I realized that there was a tiny little translucent trigger-arrow-button to open up the button tray... I don't know what your noob level is though. (That's why I presented my top-level noob experience for you.)

When I hit the back button it does nothing. All other button do not help with this problem. But have enjoyed the button savior app. It is very useful.

Button Savior did not not work in N64oid for me at first either. But after the suggestion to use it in this thread, I went back and was able to get it to work.
The key for me was clicking the menu button (the one with 4 squares in a 2x2 configuration) in Button Savior TWICE. The first time I click the button I get a message that says Button Savior has been granted Super User permissions. The second time I click the menu button I get the options for that menu, like I would if I used the menu button in the Nook status bar.
I think if you are not getting these options then Button Savior may not be functioning properly for you. Maybe reinstall it? Or maybe install another version of it to see if that helps? Good luck!
Button savior has a quirk. After a reboot, *before* you use button savior at all, you must re-enable usb debugging. Use anycut to create a shortcut for "application settings", click development, enable usb debug.
This assumes that your nook is rooted, otherwise only the home key will ever work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and that fixed my eyes. I noticed the close button (very hard to read) so now i can pick another game. Sorry for wasting everyones time.

[Q] S Voice

How do I access it? I read you hit the home button twice but that doesn't work for me.

Should be in your apps drawer. Once you access it, hit settings if you want and you can make it activate from the home button presses.
Long press the menu key to activate Google Now though - better than S-Voice in my opinion
Not sure why I didn't see it before, thank you.

Settings menu on 4.3

I'm trying to find how to change from the 4 page settings menu to the 1 long page. I've searched but can't seem to come across how to do it again.

Go to system setting, and then press the left button close to the home button and switch to List view.

Thank you, I do feel stupid that it was that simple! Was frustrated that I couldn't find it.
