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

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)

good suggestion bro. cheers
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!
Really annoying! Any ideas?
What I have mine set like,
Under softkeys settings:
Softkeys Service >
- Run Service - Unchecked
- Run at Boot - Unchecked
Virtual Home Button >
- Normal/Long Press - Launcher Pro (Or whatever Launcher you prefer)
Physical Home Button >
- Set Single Tap to Softkeys, Double to Launcher
Other settings are tailored to Taste/Preference.
What this will do is disable the Popper button (which I hated) but allow you to see the Softkeys menu whenever you tap the N button, and straight to your homescreen with a double tap. This will disable the DPad thing along with it.
Long press the popper

Hi,
I've tried to do this but now my N button does not perform any action. I used home switcher to make soft keys my default launcher, but the N button is not working at all. It does, however, wake up the NC from sleep, but once the NC is on, the N button stops working. Can you help me with this?
Im on a simple rooted NC (using BN 1.1) with autonooter and I have Zeam and Softkeys installed.
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.
Hello All,
First let me start by staying thanks to the individuals responsible for rooting this device. I'm really enjoying this tablet.
Now on to the topic:
The n button originally pulls up the Barnes & Noble bar when clicked. Now what I found out is that when installing a launcher like Go Ex and hiding the status bar in the settings of Go Ex, the n button now disables the B&N bar on single click and pulls up your default HOME on double click.
Please check and post what you concluded.
I dont see that option in the settings. Which section is it under?

Didnt work for me...i have home switcher thought
Rooted, with Zeam launcher and Button Savior installed.
The "n" button brings up the B&N bar, and the Button Savior home soft button brings up Zeam. Loving it!

It's under preferences in go launcher, not the actual settings.
Its under the Go launcher Prefrences, then Screen settings. I noticed it only works lets say when you open the app drawer, then by hitting the n key twice it takes you to your default home. But when you are using an app the n key seems to open up B&N bar still.
Now what I think is by disabling or hiding the status bar completely it will reconfigure then n key to use for home. If someone can write a simple app or hack that hides the status bar completely then it would always work I think.
Anyone?
I also use button savior with other launchers.
