When i boot into clockworkmod recovery menu, i can use the volume button to move up and down between the menu items but when i try to select the option by using the power button it simply turns the screen off ( brings up a clockworkmod logo). How do i select a menu item from the clcokworkmod recovery menu.
With the trackpad. The little mouse ball at the bottom of the phone.

HAH, thank you thank you ! I had the same problem. Ive had this phone for a year and forgot that it came with a little optical trackball. I never use it !! Totally saved me.
In some applications (e.g. minesweeper 3d) it's the only way to select (highlight) a list item.

I know directions say to press and hold X and power button, then to close the slider and press volume up and camera at the same time. However once I get to the droid screen with the yellow triangle the volume up and camera, pressing volume up and camera does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

I do not own a Droid X, but in android the Yellow Triangle means recovery. double check your buttons.

Turn the headset off
Hold the X on the keyboard and Power Button until a yellow triangle appears on your screen
Hit the Search button on the keyboard (the magnifying glass) This will start the recovery console
Using the volume up/down keys highlight the desired recovery action, then select it by pressing the camera button.
Textual status data appear at the bottom of the screen (mine was yellow)
Using the volume up/down buttons highlight "Reboot System Now" then select by using the camera button.
Once the handset reboots, "Welcome to Android/Start up screen appears"; from here everyone should know what to do
im not sure if this has been asked, but just flashed over to CM7 and wanted to know how to quickly go back to the home screen, i've been using the back button but its not convenient at times.
Under settings\CyanogenMod Settings\tablet tweeks\choose soft button\ there is an option to add a home button to the soft keys
hit the power button for like three seconds and you get home. if you don't..then add it too the reboot menu or whatever. that is the lifesaver or homesaver

The method joemm mentioned is correct, but you can also use button saviour from the market, once loaded it puts a very small almost transparent toggle on your screen reguardless of the app your in and once pressed displays home,back, or menu. I love it but what joemm has stated works perfect. I'm just giving options.

I registered on here for this specific question, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I recently rooted my Nook Simple Touch (1.1) with TouchNooter 1.1. Everything was working perfectly, except the home button. Every time I would press it, it would ask to open with 'Home' (later I found out this is the standard Nook home screen) or something else I could not remember that would send me to the Android home screen.
So a few hours after I rooted I selected Always open with 'Home' (the Nook home, not the Android home). Attempting to reverse this I re-rooted my Nook with no luck. Then I tried restoring it, but Button Saviour is still on the side! How is that possible?
I remember it saying I could reverse the problem by going to the Android settings app. But I can't do this because I can't reach the Android home!
So my question is: how can I clear the setting? I'm using Mac OS X. Thanks in advance
I followed this guide to reset my Nook: [N2E] Recovery and Source for Nook Touch (see Kohr-Ah's post) and re-rooted and everything was back to the way it was
Thanks anyways XDA

If you come across this issue again, the simplest method is to put a second launcher in /data/app folder of TouchNooter, use the card again, this will force the choice to come up again.

Alright, thanks
I'm aware that this is slightly offtopic but found that Button Saviour is useless (for me) and only consumes precious CPU. Just map "n" button to "go to desktop" in AWD settings and the only thing You loose is the back arrow but that one can be accesed from the upper bar (that with clock and battery) so 99,9% of the time Button Saviour is useless.
I've notices a slight improvement of Nook overall speed by uninstaling it.
You can uninstall it by apps like "root uninstaller" along with others systems apps (like gmail, music) (this topic pops up in google cause it has ambigious title so Ive just added this for others)
After I rooted, I can't go to the android home. Always goes to nook home. When I click the button savior it just say "Button Savior has ben denied superuser permission". Tried to connect using adb to uninstall Button savior but it doesn't work. Tried to root again using touchnooter 2.1.31 but no luck. Please help.

I thought I can live without button savior but in several apps I am using the upper bar is not available.

it just hit me theres another way
1.open Nook Touch Tools
2.select "B&N buttons"
3.select "'n' button goes to home directly"
4. (optionally) select "'reading now' button action" and choose "orientation" (so You can change orientation with one click by clicking that book icon in upper left corner)
5.select "Long press 'n' button action, change it to "Open recent app dialog"
6.select "show extra action buttons in recent dialog"
7.now you can access "back arrow" by long pressing the "n" button (physical button), i know its not the best (cause you have to press it like 3 sec) but it works xD
that's also my setup but I stay with the button savior (as a backup option) because sometimes it is more comfortable than longpressing "n" button, which doesn't work 100% and takes time.
Was able to fixed the issue. I restored to original and re-root again.
Thanks
I didn't find much utility in Button Savior. Except for the home button it mostly said "This feature requires 2.2".
With the "n" button hacked, the lower left hardkey as back and the lower right hardkey as menu I don't need anything more.
I would miss the original functionality (previous and next page) on the right side. I have just lower left button remmaped to Back. It would be great if NookTouchTools (cant remember the exact name) could allow to define also long press actions for hardware buttons (I would use those for menu access).
Once I got to Android home screen, I re-mapped my buttons. I'm right handed, so I usually don't use the left buttons. The top left button is Menu, the bottom left button is back, and long press home button is Android home. After that I killed Button Savior
Exactly the same for me.
Hi,
I was using with my Note4 an older application . The only way to access the menu in this older application was long pressing the left button key. Now when pressing the left button key , you have the split screen view . I know how to disable the split screen view but not how to reconfigure this left button.
to access the menu of this application
Any idea please?
Thank you,
Daniel
You may be able to do this once rooted and using xposed, but doubt it without this (as on previous models)
Hold the right button (back button), it opens menu for me ?

Try All-In-One-Gestures. Worked for me. You can setup your hardware (Touch) buttons.
Yeh i use that app, love it
Long pressing back button works for me. It takes a little longer than previously but at least it's still there.
Hey, this is the first phone/rom I've seen Titanium Backup missing the menu button (3 dots). I can access preferences by going to "Problems ?" in the Overview page, but it's still really strange. I'm using TB from the play store (with purchased key).
Had the same problem. I just used the GravityBox Xposed module to reassign one of the capacitive buttons as my menu button since I'm used to the old layout on my OPO.
Or you can turn on Mi Pop and use the on screen menu button

To expand on this, the mi-pop arrow can expand into 4-point button menu if you pres on the arrow, hold and swipe it out. one of those will be the 3-dot button
