How do I *completely* remove SenseUI? Going into app setting and resetting SenseUI(TouchFlo) defaults and then using Home just gives me the stock Home. I want to remove other layers of SenseUI, such as the dark bar on top and such.

I am going to pick up a Nook Touch tomorrow as it looks like an amazing upgrade from my Kindle 3rd Generation especially once rooted. Reading some RSS feeds (preloaded via wifi) out in the sun will be great.
My question is, once you install an alternate launcher like ADW, does it stay the launcher even after rebooting? All the videos show launching apps via a PC which is not feasible in a real work scenario.
Also, how do you then run the stock B&N reader app? Does this just show up as an app that you can launch?
Thanks!
After I installed ADW. On reboot, the Nook asks which launcher you want to start in. Choose ADW. The problem is that once you go to the default Home screen, you can't get back to ADW.
A fix for this (which is what I did) was to install SoftKeys. Set up SoftKeys so that the SoftKeys Home screen goes to ADW. Then make sure that SoftKeys is accessible in the notification bar.
Now, whenever I'm back to B&N's crappy default home screen, I just click on the SoftKeys link in the notification bar, then use SofKeys Home button to take me back to ADW.
There is probably an easier way, but this works.
set ADW as your default launcher. also, using softkeys, set it up so that a hard press of the "n" button will just bring you to your home screen (adw).
you can access the nook's native files by pressing the 'arrow' button underneath your launcher.
AW Launcher
Install SoftKey, Under settings select run as service, and place it in the notification bar. this way even if you are in the B&N default screen you push the softkey home button and it allows you to go the AW launcher without the need to reboot.
Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar at the bottom? I would like to replace it with something more minimalistic like zMooth. (on kindle fire stock ROM)
Anyone find anything, I found by installing "No Lock" and moving it to /system/app I can activate it and restart the kindle which causes it to start without locking or showing the menu bar. However the problems with this are:
1. I can't have any security on the device, adding a third party lock screen lke magic locker or go locker bring back the menu bar.
and
2. The bar comes back occasionally for random unknown reasons.
I would also like to know if it is possible to bring the menu bar back in certain applications once it is disabled so I have more control in the web browser. (fullscreen/bookmarks)
Bump, anyone?
I've been trying to figure out how to do this too since I first got it. Even when I use Go Launcher, the menu bar is still there. Very annoying.
You can do it in ADW.

I am aware of this, (it can also be done in go launcher) however I would like it to be replaced with zmooth not just minimized, also adw and go launchers docks get partially cutoff by the minimized menu bar.
Nevermind.
Thanks for pointing this out, the bottom bar was driving me nuts.
Hi
I'm unrooted, on stock 4.4.2 and using Nova Prime.
I'm trying to change my lock screen shortcut icons (remove label, change theme). I'm using Lumos but it doesn't change the shortcuts. I've tried changing the theme of the stock home but that didn't apply to the lock screen either.
The pic shows what I'm currently stuck with.
Am I flogging a dead horse here or is this impossible without rooting?
Cheers

Nova doesn't actually handle the lockscreens, that's still stock G2. You'd have to get a lockscreen replacement app in order to have any control over the lockscreen icon placement and possibly the labels. I used to use one called WidgetLocker; however, lately I have preferred having no shortcuts on my lockscreen so I have been going without.
Cheers, I'll check it out.

I was testing some launcher (Smart Launcher 3 Pro) and it is permanently showing the home buttons.
I disabled it on the Hide Home Button setting, but after removing the app the home buttons are permanently showing on my stock launcher.
What am I missing, how do I revert it to normal?
I've practically enabled hide home button on every app but its stuck on my stock launcher

I'm sorry I don't understand your question. Are you trying to get rid of your navigation bar? Or just on certain app?
Let me rephrase it.
I was testing a downloaded launcher which has the home buttons permanently shown.
After uninstalling and reverting to the stock launcher, the home buttons were stuck to being shown permanently.
Im talking about home button on the launcher not on apps
I even tried hiding all the home buttons on all apps, but since my issue is with my stock launcher. It didn't work

You can't hide the home buttons on stock launcher.

Hello guys,
On all launchers back button is visible on the home screen. Is there a way to adjust this?
On stock launcher back button shows up only if there is something to back. If you are in the app per example.
Thanks
Nope there is no current way to get rid of it. Any non-stock launcher currently, will have an always on back button due to how Google implemented it. IIRC it had something to do with it being a root level function kind of like the swipe in Google Now/Feed panel found on the stock launcher.
