Something weird just happened to me. Before I was on Gingerblur and when I press the home button, the screen would go back o default screen. If I started off from the default screen and then pressed the home button. then the Dub screens would appear. Now that option is gone. The only why I can bring up my sub screens is if I press the app drawer icon in motoblur. If I press the home screen, nothing happens. Is this a bug or can this be easily corrected in the settings. Please advise. Thanls
Once you install gingerblur you get the stock gingerbread launcher which does no support that function. Try installing ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro from the Market.

today i just noticed that my x10 screen is not straight its a little like this / when i open messages and apps even on home screen. i have adw launcher on my screen and i dont know if adw launcher is causing this and i dont know how to go back with x10 screen? can anybody help please
To go back to the stock home screen, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications,
find ADW Launcher, click "Clear Defaults", then when you press the home menu, it'll give you a menu of like TimeScape, ADW Launcher, and Home. Click Home.
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.
So I liked it when the home screen didn't auto-rotate, now with the recent update it auto-rotates. Is there any way to revert back to where only the Home screen did not auto-rotate?
I’m not talking about the locking the rotate function as this locks it for everything not just the home screen, I want to restore the original function that only locked the home screen in portrait mode and auto-rotated to landscape when using any other apps such as the browser and what not.
Thanks!

An option would be to install a launcher like apex, which is nearly the same as stock but with a few tweaks. Then force portrait orientation in its settings. This is what I have done
Holo launcher or trebuchet are more similar to stock launcher and have the possibility to disable auto-rotation

Thanks guys. So I take it there is no way to revert the default launcher back to the way it was? What a bummer.
Nova launcher seems to be the only one that works on JB but its based on the ICS launcher and not JB. Not really a solution.

All of these launchers are optimized to run with JB, you can feel comfortable, if you want to return to the original home just go to settings-applications then open the launcher that you decided to use and press the button "delete default"

Hey so the Android Pie recents is total utter crap. Is there an easy way to get an alternate recents? Maybe a build.prop edit? I'm rooted Btw so can try many a thing. Thanks!
P.S. Gonna probably go back to buttons too because the gesture for recents drives me nuts.
I would like to know also, but I'm not rooted. The scrolling in it is terrible. If i swipe too fast, it goes through several windows at once. If i scroll too slowly, it bounces the same window back in. I can't use navigation bar because i use long-press of home button to turn off screen.
If you guys are rooted, install a second launcher and Freeze the Oneplus Launcher. You will be back to the old recent. Enable the buttons as well.

It's a pie feature that is built in in the default launcher
On the odd occasion a launcher can go whack, if you have another it will automatically go to it or bring you a toast to go to it.It's a rare occurrence but for this reason it's good to always have two functioning launchers, you don't need to set the spare up, it's just there for an emergency till you can get home or whatever and figure out why your launcher is hung. I've diabled the stock launcher myself and use Action but picked up a spare on the play store just in case.
