Just a thread so we can post snapshots of our home screens. In case you didn't know, you can take a picture of whatever is on your screen by holding down the N button and quickly tap the volume down button then quickly release both buttons. Wait about 3-5 seconds and you will get a notification that you took a snapshot.
I will go first, also advise what you are using.
Zeam - Laucher (works great on the NC)
Fancy Widget - clock/weather
How did you get the Widget to work, Every Widget program I try including Fancy Widget wont show up on the screen..
Edit: NVM I feel Dumb now, Just long press on the screen and Add item.
O yeah what I'm using Took your Advice and loaded up Zeam, works great, Also I'm using Beautiful Widgets,
Either I did not understand the how to take screenshots or I am fat fingering this procedure.
I hold the N key down and tap the "+" key. All it does it keep going back to the default home screen.
Is there something I missed - my nook color is rooted.
You need to hit the Nook (N) big round key on the bottom of your nook and then the volume down key on the side of your nook. Not the on screen keyboard.

Here's my current setup. Running zeam for a launcher (thanks antoniouslj) with BeautifulWidgets for clock/weather. The wifi and brightness widgets are also part of BW. I like how it looks like the sun is raising an eyebrow towards the questionable activities of the background. Oh, and don't get excited about the marketplace on my dock, it's not functioning, but I figured I might as well have the placeholder there
Good idea on the wifi and brightness widgets...

Here is my current homescreen..
Widgets on screen:
BattStatt
TypoClock
TypoWeather
Widgets used off screen
Launcher Pro Facebook (resized for Nook)
Launcher Pro Calendar (resized for Nook)
Mini Info Widget (Batt, internal mem, sd mem)
Nothing Super Awesome... Just simi clock and a bunch of icons.
Nothing special here either... Simi Clock and Gague Battery
keeping it simple:
- ADW
- Beautiful Widgets
- BattStatt
- Simple Text Widget
For those of you using zeam, how did you get only 9 icons in the bottom bar? Mine is defaulting 11, which I actually don't like (too many of them).
antoniouslj: In the bottom right is that a movie player icon? Which player is it?

how were you able to change the number of desktop columns\rows in Zeam? the version I had did not have this option available and I just couldn't stand a 4x4 grid

NOTE - this is for 1.2 Nootered devices only
Here's a free little app I wrote that I hope many of you will find useful...
Once you permanently set your home launcher to something other than the Barnes and Noble launcher, it can be difficult to switch back and forth. Apps like Home Switcher can do the job, but there's no easy way to create a direct shortcut to the B&N Home UI.
The B&N launcher is neat for organizing your book collection, but it sucks for organizing apps.
Likewise, 3rd party launchers are great at organizing and launching apps, but are lacking when it comes to managing your book library.
So, I present to you...
NookHome - a dedicated app to launch the Barnes and Noble Home app from your launcher of choice.
Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?3ey4ddwmxiwl8hy
Launch the app, and the B&N home screen will appear. Like magic.
Enjoy!
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but I installed it, tried to launch and I get nothing. Just goes back to my regular home screen. I'm running phiremod v6.2.
I imagine this only works on the rooted stock OS.

Correct. This does not install the B&N launcher on your device. It simply invokes the stock app that is already there, without going through the hassle of running something like Home Switcher to do so.
Thanks for doing this!
You know, the "Last Book" icon is one of my pet peeves and the fact that it works in 1.1 but not 1.01 (or 1.2 I hear). On my 1.01, as long as the home app is at least loaded, the last book icon works, but as soon as something unloads it, the icon doesn't work anymore.
On my 1.1, I can unload everything and the damned icon still works! As a matter of fact, if I use it, it loads the home app in the background.
I haven't put this on my 1.2 NC yet (still haven't rooted it) it but, and more to the point...
First, how do you get back to the default launcher if you use this? And, more importantly, will it leave the home launcher running in the background or flat out unload it? If it leaves it running then I can have my last book icon working and be happy!
Don't know what instore access is like but wondering if the home app is key to that as well...
Great little app! After using it and switching back to Zeam, the last-read book icon is reset and works. Brilliant.

This is something I plan to address soon. The B&N Home app has to be running in order for this to work right at the moment. If it is not started (or is killed by you or the system) it stops working.

When you hit the "n" key for the first time, Android will display the "which app do you want to use to complete this action" dialog. Most people have chosen Zeam, ADW, or some other launcher - when you check the box to make the selection permanent, it becomes impossible (without another app or hacking in the development menu) to return to the B&H Nome screen.
So, the idea here is you install this app, then you can have one-click access to B&N via the home screen, dock, whatever, of your "preferred" launcher. That is assigned to the "n" key.
"n" key (from any app, including B&N Launcher) --> Launcher
NookHome (from Launcher) --> B&N Launcher
and so on...

Sure, I'll send you a PM on it. I haven't dug too deep into it yet, but I have discovered some other interesting things along the way.
Thanks very useful And the BN home takes up a measley 6-7 MB in ram. Also I just wanna say since there is really nor other place i just now realized that the stock nook reader added sliding transitions for the pages. They work very well, it is extremely fluid. Also when I tap to turn page it is much more responsive.
Bump,
Love this app!
Thank you very much
Thanks for this nifty little utility!
This may not be the right place to ask, but I'm trying to create a shortcut for this (or any app) on the desktop, and it's not working.
In Zeam, I long-press the screen, select "add item", then "shortcut", and it takes me to the BN Home screen, not to a picker listing all my apps.
I've installed LauncherPro (my favorite for my phone), and I get the same behavior: Long-press, shortcuts -> BN Home.
(Please direct me to a more appropriate forum if necessary...)
TIA!

Open the app drawer, long press on the icon, drag to where you want it on the home screen
Thanks for making this! Now I can set the home key to Zeam on my wife's nook, and just park the B&N launcher in the Zeam tray. Best of both worlds.
@FreeMan2012: What NewZJ said is the way I've always done app shortcuts, and it worked on wife's 1.2 Nook yesterday. I long pressed on the B&N app to get it on the homescreen, then long-pressed and dragged it down the the dock.

Wow! Thanks, guys. I had no idea about the long press in the app drawer. Worked as advertised!
Great idea... I think I will set Zeam as default too and just use this shortcut app for home.
I've been playing with my friends android's and i've noticed that the atrix lags:
1) Pinch zoom on the home screen to select to which HS page i wanna go. Instead, we have to press the home button while on the center of the home screen to be able to select the HS page. (not sure if i made myself clear enough)
2) We are stuck in 7 pages! personally, I don't use all 7 pages and I don't like those extra empty pages taking up my ram (even if it's not taking up a considerable amount of ram, it still bugs me when others can just have 3 HS if they wanted to)
3) On the notification drop down list, others have the Power Control buttons to turn on/off wifi and that kinda functions. I know there are apps that add a shortcut bar on the notification screen, but it's not Power Control.
so my question is, Anyone know a way to overcome these issues listed? i can try flashing if necesary.

There are a few launcher apps that you may want to look at. The 2 popular ones are "Launcher Pro" and "Go". I think both of them can be configured for the number of pages you want.

Motorola included a few widgets that can toggle some of this functionality, but in the stock Atrix builds this is not available from the notification bar.
All that said and if you are a brave soul, you may want to check out some of the custom ROMs available for the Atrix over in the developer forum. The ROMs are generally much alike and free the Atrix from both Motorola and your carrier. The ROMs differ in there themes and minor features.
Hope this helps you and your friend get the most out of the Atrix.
I would check out ADWLauncher, most of these things can be customized.

i find launcher pro works the best for me. should definitely try that out.
Yeah, I've been thinking about Launchers, but I've tried launcher pro and I feel like it's taking even more ram. Because it's a launcher that is running on top of our stock HS, am I wrong?
I currently have Alien ROM on my device with the stock theme, because I cannot live without the one touch call/sms contact widget and also the ability to group apps on the app drawer. Tried the Alien theme and liked it, except for the mentioned "flaws"
Kill the blur launcher and use home switcher to set one by default. No more launcher running on top of another.

On mine with Launcher Pro I use two fingers to pinch, then keep one finger on the screen sliding it to which HS page I want to pick. I just figured this out based on what you were asking about. It is always fun to find some new feature like this that I didn't know existed before. With the stock home launcher from MotoBlur there is a capability to do it, but I long since forgot what that procedure was when I changed to Launcher Pro. LP has all the customizations you are asking for.

I just updated to the latest version of ADW EX, I found that the dock bar must appear and I can't hide or remove it.
Anyone have this problem as well?
You can hide it. Use a swipe gesture to hide/unhide it. Latest-latest update (1.3.3.55) allows it to overlay your homescreen instead of pushing everything up.
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
You can also Long Press your home screen, choose Launcher Actions, choose the Open/Close DockBar icon.
Use it once, to hide the dock, then delete the icon from your desktop. Voila! Dockbar is hidden, and won't come back until you go through the process again to reverse it.
WAAAAAAAY better than the stupid swipe action that you'll always be triggering by swiping on widgets like News360, Books, YouTube, etc.

I do the swipe method because I like to have the dockbar but I dont want it always visible.
You can keep from opening it while swiping on a widget by swiping the widget slower.
Never had an issue with the dock reappearing on an accidental swipe and I use both up and down gestures religiously.
Happens to me when using "tiled" widgets like the YouTube, Market, or Books widgets, if either swipe up or swipe down is selected. It's a "sloppy" swipe to use those, but ADW intercepts any motion outside the small cards.
It's not quite as bad on a widget with a bigger card, like News360, since you have more "finger on the widget" with the larger cards.
My method works fine, I have absolutely no use for the dockbar with the way I use Honeycomb.

When im scrolling through scrollable widgets, even if i go outside the widget during the scroll, as long as i dont lift my finger, it still registers as being in the widget.
If you're okay with your method, then use it. Everybody has their preference, mine is using swipe gestures to open/close dockbar and app list

Well, whatever the reason, it's still a step backward. The spacing on the dockbar is still ludicrous for a tablet. The old hidden dockbar I could have a lot more things on it. Even without scrolling functionality, I liked it better.

Is the Hide/Show Action Bar (the top transparent bar with a few little icons and the access to the ADW settings) also gone now?
I just updated from 1.3.3.1 to 1.3.5.56 and my homescreens are all a mess now. I've lost some of the icons I had vertically, stuck to the righthand side of the homescreen as well. C'mon! I think we're really loosing precious tablet screen realstate with the latest changes, even if they have managed to quickly revert back to the option to disable the dockbar altogether.

For all you all, Nova Launcher does in fact work great with the Prime tablet. Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition.
but it does work great! just so everyone knows. (not a fan of adw, personally)
i've been using it as well, and i agree it works great, super fast and much cleaner looking than adw imo.
i've been using a 10x8 layout personally.
I use Nova too. I actually hadn't gotten around to changing the layout because I like my screen bare. But I'll have to try that. So far I like it the best, pretty quick.
Dock not showing up
Am I doing something wrong? I can't figure out why the dock isn't showing up. Anyone run into this problem?
why do you say it works great?
the icon labels doesnt show in landscape mode, the card stack transition is messed up. hardly can say working great...
however i do agree it has great potential and worth keeping an eye out for.
it has some issues, but it runs very fast and doesn't have any issues that are showstopping.
I really like it! thanks for this post!

This is due to the device type... Tablets = No dock by default. This may change with future releases of the Nova launcher.

The icon labels only show up when there is enough room for them, I've got my desktop grid set to 7 Rows and 8 Columns and they show up fine. If you add anymore rows, the labels dissappear.
The only problem I have with Nova is that the wallpaper is zoomed regardless of how I crop it. Anyone else have this issue?

it has to do more with how HC/ICS handle wallpapers over the launcher, i use the multipicture lwp and it sets them properly.
ok guys... seriously.
NovaLauncher is a modified stock launcher. notice you don't have a dock on your stock launcher on your ICS tablet. well.. that's why you don't have one in NL either. tablet's don't have launchers unless you get a 3rd party launcher that forces one on a tablet, like adw. even launcher pro does it but not well.
secondly i can say that it works great because it does. don't use the card transition. the icons labels DO appear in landscape, just depends on how many ROW you are using in your grid.
why don't you do some investigating and trying things out before flaming the app. it does have great potential, but it also works great NOW!. it's better than the stock launcher, and personally i dislike ADW. so cada loco con su tema.

You won't find it on the marketplace. Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071. Just download and install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk that's all you need. It quite good. Oh one quick hint... Once you installed use Titanium Backup to convert the app into a system app, that way the widget will preview properly as your ICS stock launcher.
By the way... is in fact the best launcher for ICS so far...

I am using ADW EX with cm9. Everything is great but one thing is bothering me and I have not been able to find a solution. In landscape mode on the top of the screen is a bar with a menu button on the right. This just takes up space as I have a menu button on the bottom. Anyone know where I can go to remove this? I will attach a photo
Thanks!
Hmm ... I used to use ADW EX with CM9 and I don't recall that. Perhaps try turning off the persistent search (I think it's in CM settings).
Thanks will give that a try
Was not sure if it was a cm9 setting or something with ics's version of adw ex
Looks like that didn't fix it
The cm settings only change the cm launcher which is trebuchet, I am using adw ex.
I'll try installing ADW EX again tonight and giving it a try.

I'm not sure what that is. I don't see an option to remove it, and I don't really see any reference to it in the change notice. He has added some "unique" features in the past that he later gives options to disable (e.g. the "one dock to rule them all"), and I do see a couple of comments in the reviews about it. Perhaps there will be more functionality (and an option to disable) in a future update.
Hey thanks a ton for atleast helping me understand what's going on
The status bars appear to be locked in cm9, apart from removing the search setting and clock details. I haven't been able to get the bottom status bar to appear/disappear with an up or down swipe trying several launchers. Have to wait for an update or go searching for the status bar details in the programming. Not to fussed at the moment, just waiting eagerly for 3.0 kernel to get integrated.
Its specific to adw.
I've been using adw ex on my Xoom through Honeycomb roms and ICS roms and they've always been there. Its a bit redundant but..oh well.
Thanks..hopefully ads devs address this by giving us an option to shut it off
I wouldn't count on it. The app was last updated December 7th.
Hopefully apex or nova launcher will enable docks for tablets soon instead. The dock is the only reason I still use ads ex.

I use it because it let's me create icons that are shortcuts to each home screen. Those I can then edit with simple text app. Do you know of any other launchers that do this

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to adw settings, UI Settings, Screen Preferences, Show desktop Indicator. Uncheck Show Desktop Indicator and it will disappear. If left on you can select what is shown and where. I leave mine off as I know which screen I am on.
Good Luck!
That's not the right thing. He's talking about the empty space with the menu button in it.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it looks as if show desktop indicator was already unchecked =/
