So I don't have enough posts to post this problem in the 1.7 thread so I'm hoping I can get help with the likely easy answer here. I installed 1.7 and selected my desktop theme and I held down the "more apps" button too long and now it is gone and I can't get to the rest of my apps. How can I get it back?
which launcher are you using? if you are using Zeam, you can swipe your finger down the screen and it will open up the apps. check the middle capacitive button, and see if any options come up for preferences or settings... if so, go to settings/applications and reset your launcher app.
You can also tap & hold on the screen, then add an item/widget, add the market widget... you can then go into the market, download a different launcher. once it is installed, hit the home key, and it will ask you what launcher you wish to use.
I use Zeam. It's quite handy, and has the option to replace that button you lost. you would have to install zeam, then press and hold on the main screen, choose add an item, add an action, and you will see the option for the "open applications" button you lost.
kind of a round and about way to get it done, but I bet you won't do it again, right?
Good luck!

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.
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?
When using the alternate SystemUI file to make the n button function as a home button, how do you then get to those items on the default B&N quick select menu? Things like B&N store, web browser, library, etc. Is there an easy way to make these same items appear as links on the home screen itself? I have the app manager tweak, so I know how to put side loaded apps there. Just haven't been able to figure out how to put the default B&N apps there.
Thanks!

create a shortcut to the Nook Home I used anycut. I also used that app for the development menu and a few other hidden menus. or try a long press on the home screen and from there you shopuld get a window to app apps, shortcuts, or widgets to the home screen. Hope this helps.
I'm trying to figure out a way or find a launcher or some method to get my home panels to appear so I can easily select them rather than have to scroll left or right. This might be an ICS related thing. I recall being able to hold the home button and it would do this and now when I hold the home button it shows recently closed apps. Any suggestions on how I can get that feature back? Thanks
With Apex Launcher, when on the primary Homescreen clicking the Home button again will show the available screens for selection.
Home Panels???

My mistake with the title of "home panel." I should have titled it "how to view multiple panels on one screen?" or something like that. I will try what SCClockDr suggested. Hopefully it works. I was afraid the most recent apps feature related to ICS prevented viewing all the panels simultaneously.
Thanks again
Hi all. It may seem a silly question and probably it is but there are apps (in this case Touchdown mail client) that haven't an icon to open the in app settings menu. With my previous phones I used a physical button, usually long press on the back button, to open it. But how to do it with the single button p9000? Thank you.
Very good question, they seem to have forgotten about apps that need a physical key for menu, have you tried enabling the softkeys to see if the menu button appears on them for you? Can the "Smart Button" not be setup to be the menu key? or is it only to open apps? I not played with it myself..
Still searching how to have the MENU inside applications, softkeys does not work !
I would ask the software maker! The phone maker won't add more physical buttons.
And multiple press are always software driven!
Even if the phone maker did, that won't help you out with the old hardware...
Doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere online so here goes:
Go to settings > Navigation bar > Turn On.
Go to app you need a menu on > swipe up from bottom to bring up the Nav bar.
Three dots appear on the end of the nav bar. Done.
If the three dots don't appear; click on the recent tasks button and then go back into the app and they should come up.
Tried and tested with EZ Drop.
- Doesn't seem to work with apps with the built in "three dots" menu.
I use ‘Menu Button (No root)’ by JetToast free on the Play store, to get round this problem.
