Eh - I just downed the latest update for the ROM you speak of, and didn't see the Arc Home launcher in the zip so here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11814168#post11814168 - just download and install like any other non market app.

Wolf said in one of the posts in the thread that the Arc Launcher is included and he renamed it as the ADWLauncher APK. So OP just press the Home button and then select ADW as your launcher and that should do the trick. I haven't tried this myself because I'm using ADW EX but I'm pretty sure that's what he said in the thread.
EDIT: Upon trying this for myself, I had to select the default Home launcher in the list that shows up when pressing the Home button in order to get to the Arc Launcher. Hope this helps!

Hi guys,
I just installed Gingerblur, and wondered, how can i get back motoblur. Is it possible? Can you tell me how?
If you're talking about just the default motorola launcher then go to the market and install the Moto Home Fix then press home and it should ask you to select a default launcher with the motoblur available as an option. If you want to switch between launchers install froyo home switcher from the market.
I installed the P-ROM Gingerblur, not only a theme. Both sais that my phone is not a motoblur device.
Is it possible te reflash the original rom?

I wondered if anybody tried "VTL Launcher" on a Viewpad 7 so far?
Mine is in for repair currently and Android Market shows it as "Non compatible" (which doesn't mean it's really not compatible *gg*)
yes i am searching for that too

TY, astuermer - nice find & catching it to share with all, downloaded it from your link, prep my VPAD7 first (TB backup & CWM backup, just in case) - reboot and used Astro File Manager to install the apk file. Turn off (using "Easy Boot" - it's a neat, cute one click to shut down, reboot, boot into recovery) and restart, bing bing - VTL came up as option, no error messages or warnings about imcompatibility at all. It's very similar to ADW 1.3.6 standalone (that I'm using instead of stock laucher) but with more features, options & tweaks - like it very much ! Not a fan of Launcher Pro, so .... this is cool.
This cute Vpad7 with the tweaks is going to stand out a tiny notch more, great.
Postscript edit/comment - I managed to flash TJ_Style's FM6 custom, non-OC ROM using my own saved boot.img and got it running. Please see this link for screenshots - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093440&page=10 However, Easy Boot no longer worked ....

Do you have the ability to do adb, or use terminal emulator?
If so re root your device, by runing NookandZergy.bat.
WARNING: This will erase yoru entire device.
Then install Terminal Emulator, or use adb and issue the following command:
Code:
echo -n '0000' > /bootloader/BootCnt
Then restart your device.
Sorry, I'm a nube at this...Don;t know what adb/Terminal Emulator is/are...
How do I know if I have adb/Terminal emulator on my NT?...
How do I go about installing either?...
Do I need to execute NookandZergy.bat on my NT?...
Please explain...Thank you...
Here's some steps I posted on someone elses topic. I know you said you did the reset but give it a shot:
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Use this method.
Just turn off the nook tablet, and start it by holding the power and N button. Continue to hold and you will note that the tablet turns on then off. Do this 8 times, and you will be promped for a full factory reset.
Loglud/dodgepot - Thank you very much for your input...Much appreciated...
I was having difficulty following either method, but I came across the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19546639&postcount=13
I followed these instructions which differ slightly, but was able to get a complete factory reset(re-image)...
I will now proceed to re-root my NT & hopefully won't run into any major issues...
Will return if I do and/or have any questions...Thank you again...

Good luck in your adventures and don't be a stranger!
I posted the [How-to] Quick Access to Nook Tablet's FACTORY RESET Screen in both the General and Development sections of these forums just for these types of situations... a search would have netted you the link. Following that guide will get you back to stock.
Good luck.
O.K., I'm back to square one...I re-rooted my NT for the 4th time(followed Indirect instr. videos 1 & 2) and installed Honeycomb Launcher...After re-rooting I no longer have access to B&N's launcher...According to the video I should be able to flip-flop between B&N's launcher & Honeycomb Launcher by pressing the"n' button twice...If I open Apps. I can see the Apps. that came with my NT...From time to time I get the following error msg.: "The application Honeycomb Launcher (process mobi.SyndicateApps.HCL) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"...
Any idea as to what is causing the above msg. and why pressing the "n" button is not allowing me to switch launchers?...I have other questions(e.g.; weather widget not working, how to move files around from-to SD card, etc..,..), but wanted to get past this issue first...Your help is greatly appreciated...

there have been reports of honeycomb launcher force closing a lot. that is according to reviews from the android market...
the only suggestion i can give you is to move the honeycomb launcher apk to system/app if it is not there already
after that go to the tgps launcher and manage apps, try clearing data and cache for honeycomb launcher and reboot. hopefully after that you won't experience any more force closes for a while.
+1 I tried hcl a little and experienced issues so went to adw launcher ex. Much better, imho.

Do you know if you're using a modified SystemUI.apk? It sounds like you might be. There is one (that was not made when those videos were made) that removes the little B&N popup menu entirely. If you want that, you might need to revert to the stock SystemUI.apk.
The Home Switcher app will allow you to change your home button functionality as you like.
ENJOY!
Thank you all for your quick response...Much appreciate it...I apologize, but being a nubie & not that familiar with the terminologies I need some direction...
I recall that the last question during the rooting process had a reference to the
SystemUI.apk & required a Y or N response...I don't recall what I replied(Y or N)...Getting a little confused with the different options...
1- How do u move the HCL apk -> system/app?...
2- Why move the HCL apk -> system/app?...
3- How to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache for
HCL...
4- Should the HCL be uninstalled after performing the above followed by the
ADW Launcher EX install?...
5- Can I download(install) the ADW Launcher EX from the Android market?...
6. Once the ADW Launcher EX is installed how do I flip-flop between B&N
& ADW launcher?...
I read somewhere that to get rid of Honeycomb Launcher u can go to the Android Market > My Apps and click on HCL Launcher and then Uninstall...
And something about moving it 1st to /system/app rather than /data/app(???)...With all the choices getting confused with the proper course of action...Again, I would appreciate instructions for the best/quickest(safest) approach to correct this issue...
I really appreciate your willingness to help, not to mention that this is a learning experience for me and(hopefully) I will be able to help others as a result...
Many thanks...

Sounds like you entered Y. If you want to be able to switch between the B&N launcher and a custom launcher, you are going to need the stock SystemUI.apk.

You should be able to find it in /data/app. Move it to /system/app, and reinstall (and maybe reboot).

I think some believe this improves stability. However it prevents the market from updating the app. I use ADW EX and have not moved it and don't have any issues. I think HCL is pretty buggy (as has been stated above).

Use NT Hidden settings (look in dev forum) to manage applications. Select HCL from the application list and clear data/cache.

Hit the THANKS button for those that have helped you [there are a few here] and to be honest, you're making this whole thing way more complicated than it needs to be. You really should learn how to use the XDA Forum SEARCH function more effectively so that you get better results for what it is that you're trying to do. As well, don't just hop on the first thing you find and try it without reading as much as possible about what it is that you're attempting to do. Also try to find corroborating information for that which you are attempting before attempting. Since you're new here, it can be a bit daunting but if you put a little effort into it, you'll find a lot of info and many people that will help you accordingly.
And Welcome to XDA Forums!
ckevinwelch - Many thanks for the quick & detailed response...
I've decided that I will unroot/re-root my NT & select ADW from the list of launchers...I will also pay closer attention to the question regarding SystemUI.apk at the end of the rooting process...If I understood u correctly, my response should enable the install of the SystemUI.apk, correct?...
After rebooting I should be able to switch between launchers(B&N - ADW) since the SystemUI.apk would have been installed, correct?...(I'm assuming this is done by double-clicking the "n" button)...
I'll also head over to the DEV Forum to read about accessing NT's hidden settings in order to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache, etc...
I'll post back here with the results...Thank you very much for your time and all the help...

If you want to keep the stock behavior (i.e. the little popup menu that would allow you to access the stock home), DO NOT let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. You want the stock one.
sounds like you are on barnes and noble home screen and cant change back. you can install anycut to access menu again to force change between launcher, or download a new launcher from the internet and this will force the choice again... or download the hijack adb app and use it to patch with nook zergy to install a new launcher... or download my sd card image file and it has all the apps there to install from... got videos on many of these things on my you tube channel... however, if you have removed the N menu and set barnes and noble home screen to your default launcher, you may not have access to a method to install another launcher except to manualy push it over using ADB and a usb cable. If you ar at this point and not comfortable with command prompts, then I would just do 8 factory restore and start over with the SD card I made... I even made a video of how to recover a failed root process with the sd card. it has all the files you need so you dont have to go all over looking for them.

Thank you albertwertz for the feedback...I decided to unroot/re-root and followed ckevinwelch' suggestion, i.e., did *NOT* let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. & keep the stock behavior...After rebooting my NT & selecting HomeCatcher & ADW launcher as default I can now bring up B&N's stock menu...I also got the weather widget to work properly(failing when running with HoneyComb launcher)...I really appreciate the time+patience you've put into helping me along...
I've also launched tgps_launcher to familiarize myself with the settings...One thing I noticed is that Auto Mount is flagged under Development, should it be(I recall I had to un-check it during the rooting process)?...
I did some navigating to familiarize myself with the settings, options,etc.,..
I also downloaded/installed/opened a game(Solitaire) to gauge the size of mem/storage utilized...I went back to tgps_launcher to get a list of the running Apps...I noticed that the Solitaire game was listed under the "On SD card" tab, however I didn't have an SD card installed at the time(box to the right was unchecked)?????????...
I stopped Solitaire, went back to my list of Apps & noticed that the Solitaire icon switched to the android icon...I tried opening it, but got some sort of error stating that it couldn't be opened so I ended up un-installing/re-installing...How do I determine if an Apps. is closed(not running) and what's the correct way to stop it and re-claim used memory/storage?...How do I move stuff around between data <-> system files?...
Again, many thanks(trying to get all my questions in as I learn more about this conversion)...
Hi
So as the title says, the thing went like:
- I use checkrom revolution from some time now (currently at v4)
- I tried ICS remix rom from westcrip I think it was v7.3 no-wipe. I did't do a backup, this was my mistake
- As it was not as good for a daily use, I reflashed checkrom
- The shortcut to calendar had changed to something like "app not installed", when I go to add shortcut, calendar doesn't appear in the list
There is a Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in system/app, if I run it, it launchs an installer but at the end it says "Application not installed"
I know there are lots of calendar apps in market but I liked the default, so I'd like to know if there is a way to get it back :s
Any help will be appreciated

You don't run .apk files in /system/app. If the files are already there, they should be in your app list. If they're NOT in your app list, reboot. If they're still not in your app list, factory reset/data wipe. If they're STILL not in your app list, reflash checkrom.
EDIT: How are you adding the shortcut? Long press on the homescreen, or long press on the icon in your app drawer? Does the calendar show up at all in your app drawer?

It isn't in my app drawer either, I forgot to mention it in the OP, I was doing long press on homescreen. I've rebooted and reflashed checkrom, I was hoping for an option that didn't involve wipe/reset
And when I said I didn't backup was not meant as an excuse, just more information, in case someone asked if I did it / suggested to recover from backup

Wait - are you trying to flash back from ICS to a GB based ROM withOUT wiping? Yeah, as far as I know, that'll never work. You will HAVE to wipe.
EDIT: To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you're not seeing more problems and issues with your phone, if you DIDN'T wipe going from ICS back to GB.
That's right, I flashed back to GB from ICS with just cache/dalvik wipe and everything works fine, the calendar gone is the only problem I have.
Thanks for the answers, I guess I'd have to go with the wipe.
