Hello all,
First off, I would like to thank Albert Wertz on how to root the tablet. Followed the instructions and worked flawlessly. . I chose “Go Launcher ex” as my launcher which was also working great. Now, comes my noob screw up Every time I would hit the nook BN “Home” button, it would let me choose between the BN “Nook Home” and “Go Launcher ex”. Right below the BN (Nook Home) choice was a check box to make the decision permanent. With my fat finger I hit both the check box and BN “Home Button” and I no longer get to choose to go into “Go Launcher” I want my “Go Launcher” back!!! How can I do this?

NT Hidden Settings (in development) -> Application Settings -> Manage Applications -> Go Launcher -> Clear Defaults. You can swipe right to left on the notification bar to go backwards.
Alternatively, installing another launcher will clear the defaults.
Thank you so much for your reply!! I will try as soon as I get off of work. I would like to ask about the "NT Hidden Settings (in development)" Is that something I will have to turn on to see (hidden) or is it available by going to the development folder? Thank you again for your help!!

This is the main Android menu you would normally see on a stock device. You can get to it by either using the tgps launcher that you would use to first enable USB debugging, or you can use an app from the market called AnyCut, which will create a shortcut for you to the main settings menu for the device, or even the sub directories.

Click the "n"
touch "search"
type "tgps_launcher"
touch start
go to "manage apps" (or something like that, don't remember )
touch "all" at the top
scroll down to "home"
touch "home"
find the button that says "clear defaults" and touch it
Now click the "n" button. It will not let you choose which launcher to use again.
If this works for you, click my help button!

It is an app someone created here on XDA. You can find it in a thread in the development section of this forum.
Take a look at this link, working great for me to access hidden settings.

Does the nook need to be rooted in order to use Go launcher as the default launcher? I did not have the option to clear defaults for either home or go launcher when I tried this.
No it doesn't have to be rooted to use Go Launcher. I used it without a problem while i was unrooted and sideloading apps. I rooted in order to block OTAs and using Go Launcher is exactly the same in both cases.
How do I do this on an unrooted nook, clearing defaults is not working on mine.
This is what worked for me when I wasn't rooted:
If you can sideload apps, get Go Launcher EX from the Amazon Appstore. Once I installed Go Launcher I also installed Homecatcher (search for it here on these boards) to make my Go Launcher home screen my default home screen and bypass the stock nook home screen entirely (the program asks you during installation if you'd like to make Go launcher your default). Check the thread where you find the Homecatcher app for some tips from the guy who developed the app, but both apps are really easy to install and work really well rooted or unrooted. i don't know if any of this will help--good luck.
Thanks to ALL! I do appreciate all the replies! Everything worked great! Well, I guess I was only somewhat rooted..Nook just updated to 1.4.1.... :-( Now I cant get it to restore back to 1.4.0 via sd update. WOW I am the lucky one

Hello all, first post and hopefully it should not be very difficult to resolve....
I had LauncherPro installed to my Bell Atrix, and then decided i wanted to remove.
Using Titanium Backup, I froze alot of Moto sys apps as per this article... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459
before removing LPro, I unfroze Home 2.2.1 and then rebooted the device. Now it will boot up but i have no home screen... just blank.
Any help would be appreciated...
OK figured it out on my own... the best way to learn !!!!!
- Enter Fastboot:
Hold Volume down + power until you see Fastboot at the top left
Use volume down to scroll down to "Early USB Enumeration"
- Phone now tells me that I have no homescreen and took me to Market
- Downloaded LP again
- Reboot, and chose LP as the default homescreen.
SO looks like i am back to where I started from, now i need the right instructions to remove LP correctly. I'll do a search for that, the answer is out there somewhere
Could you not goo back to the thread above, re enable the blur stuff, revert to blur before removing launcher then remove launcher.
To be prompted for a home screen I think you need to go to settings/applications/manage launcher and then clear defaults. If should then sask you which home screen to use, our out will just go to blur.
OMG! I have an Atrix! [XDA app]

I did the same a while back. Another fix is to use a desktop and the online market to send a launcher to your phone through there. Just make sure to unfreeze blur and everything associated with it before you remove any other launcher. Personally, I unfreeze everything before making these types of changes.

Since the only keys are the N and the volume on the Tablet....is there any way to access the options in the apps that are ran to change the settings? I am getting a Tablet next week (cannot fraking wait!) and just realized this. Has this been a problem for anyone else?
It's no problem, there are soft keys at the bottom of the screen which come up contextually so you can go back or access the menus.
Alternatively you can use button saviour and have the buttons all the time. You'll be happy with the tablet

I found that Button Savior is not necessary. The Back and Menu buttons come up in the status bar when they're available.
I use Homecatcher to access Go Launcher EX and installed Nook Color App Manager to install frequently used apps on the stock Home screen.
I've been VERY HAPPY with my Nook Tablet.

Button saviour is good for when your using full screen apps and want to access the menu. Like watching a video on MX player or reading in certain apps. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to.

Can App Manger be installed on a non-rooted device? I would like to use that app but I haven't been able to find the apk for download. Everyplace wants me to get it from the android marketplace. If it only works on rooted devices, I'll quit looking for a standalone apk to download since I'm really nervous about voiding my warranty on my new toy by rooting.

Root isn't needed, and someone linked to their copy of the apk in this post.
Thank you very much. I've been looking for that for a couple days.
I just rooted my nook tablet and removed a bunch of bloat. I had to do a lot of it manually because I am on a mac. The root method works great, but it is not quite as full featured as the windows version.
I am curious, is there a way to get rid of the little menu that pops up when I push the "n" button? The one that says "home, library, shop, search, apps, web, settings". It's driving me crazy. Most of those apps aren't installed anymore.
My ideal is for this to be as close to a honeycomb tablet as possible.
Thank you,
Lance

Our closest way is to use HomeCatcher to use it to go to our default launcher. I don't believe we've found a way to remove that menu all together.
I was afraid of that. I can live with it though. Thank you!
EDIT: If this is helpful at all, the honeycomb launcher actually captures the "n" button and treats it like a back button. No other apps do this so far.

That's not just Honeycomb Launcher ... I use ADW EX and I have that too. I see it in a lot of apps (not quite all, but more than don't). Also, it's been said before, but swiping right to left on the notification bar will function as Back.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the info!
it's in the framework, no way (right now) to remove.
I have a placed a few Apps on the Prime that do same thing like FireFox,Opera and Prime Browser. When you first go to say internet it asks you to choose the Browser you want to use and you can select one as a Default. How to you go back and remove this default and chose another one?
Thanks

Hi
Just go into Settings -> Apps and find the app which is currently the default. Click on it, and in that screen you will see a button for "Clear Defaults". Nowm, the next time you use an app in that class, you will get the pop-up again asking you which you want to use.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to remove widgets from my phone (using CM7, last version) but when I long press the widget, I receive the feedback (vibration) and the trash icon do not appear, neither I can move the widget.
It will be much better if it's no necessary for me to format the phone and install all the apps again!
Could someone help me?
Which launcher are you using?
just uninstall the program and reinstall the program again. no need to reformat the phone.
if it is adwlauncher, press the menu button (at left) > more > unlock desktop. And then try to delete it. Or check the trash can icon position on adw settings

That's it!
I'm yet a little confused moving from WinMo 6 to Android.
Thank you.
some launchers bring this option, is useful when you lend your phone and don't want to someone modify the desktop
You can try delete the app on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
