[Q] Quicknav buttons - did mine change?

I recently picked up a 16gb nook tablet, loaded with 1.4.0 from B&N.
First thing I did was root it with the SDCard method from Albert. I played with it a little and installed some extra launchers to test out without assigning any of them as the default.
Before installing the new launchers, I thought I remember that the Home button in the quicknav bar would always go the B&N home even when the double tap 'n' button was programmed to the alternate launcher.
Now however, it is no longer doing that. I can program it to the B&N Home page, but then double tapping the 'n' button also goes to the B&N home page. I can program the double tapping 'n' button to my alternate launcher, but then the quicknav soft home button also goes to the alternate launcher.
Things I have tried:
Clearing defaults/cache from B&N 'Home' apk
Installing new launcher to reset the defaults
Uninstalling/Reinstalling Homecatcher
Uninstalling Home manager
8 Failed Boot + Restore Factory Image + Reroot
I should note that I only *noticed* this problem after I restored from backup after repartitioning my drive according to the process posted here. I don't believe that caused it, but that was when I noticed it.
So, am I remembering incorrectly? Are the quicknav home soft button and double tap always tied together? Or did something get mucked up somehow?
If mucked up, any suggestions on where I should look to try to fix it? I noticed that there is a quicknav reprogramming tool for the lower end Nook - has anybody worked on one for the Tablet yet?
Thanks for any help!!
And thanks so much to the developers for making the tools to turn the Nook into such a much more useful tablet!

Frozen Ice 1.2.1 home button not working

Installed Frozen Ice 1.2.1 - neither the "Hard" or "Soft" Home buttons will work - will have to search for Home button apps to overcome it - otherwise ROM seems fairly quick with better wifi signal than other ICS roms I have tried.
Anyone found a better solution to the home button not working?
Button Savior
Installed button savior from Play to restore home button functionality, an additional step, but it beats having to backup all the way to Home.
Also, one poster indicated they reinstalled keeping all apps and not installing gapps restored home button functionality

Home button acting weird

Hi
I have a galaxy s3 with cm11 and boeffla kernel. Today, out of nowhere, my home button and menu button started acting weird. I have the home button setted to sleep my phone on long press and wake it up when the screen is off and do nothing on double press . The menu is set to open the recent apps. It has always worked this way till today.
When I press the home button inside an app it won't return to the home but it still wakes the phone when the screen is off. Also the menu won't open the recent apps and it doesn't vibrate either. The back button still works but does not vibrate. I used gravity box to activate the navigation bar and the home button doesn't work on the navigation bar either.
I tried installing upgrating my firmware to the latest nightly, wipe cache and dalvik but no luck.
You won't repair a modded framework, wipe and start again.
So I need to do a factory reset? Is there a way to know what happened? I didn't touch anything. Is it possible that some xposed module caused this?

None of my buttons work, not even power button!

Hey guys, I was editting the Generic.kl and build.prop to disable the capacitive keys and enable on screen keys and I did everything right ( I did this a few weeks back and it worked perfectly) but then my home button, back, and recents button stopped working. My volume and power buttons don't work either so I can't click home to go back to my home screen and I cant power own my device. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? Will a factory reset do anything? Thanks
EDIT: Nvm guys, I fixed it by using NFC on my Nexus 6 to beam a restart app to my GS6 so I could install it through the Play Store and opened the app straight through the Store and the restart fixed it.

I have a home button issue after a restore.

The other day I had to restore my phone from an older backup after I accidentally deleted the home screen. Now, when I tap the home button from a different screen, it turns off the screen and locks it. I can't find any way to reset the home button back to being just a home button. I would appreciate some help on this for sure. Thank in advance.
