This is the screen I see when I go "home". I'm confused, because I thought this was the file manager portion of ReLaunch. I've messed with a bunch of the settings, and I even installed ReLaunch again through the play store. Something is wrong, isn't it?
Should I re-root, or what do I have to do to have a decent looking Relaunch?
Thanks!

That is what Relaunch looks like on mine also. I have found Lightning Launcher to be an excellent, simple launcher. See this post for a screen shot.

I searched the board and tried the postings I have found.
Is anyone else having problems getting the reading now icon / book icon working after rooting with 4.5.6? I tried opening the suggestions on the development postings - Open book from B&N library, go to B&N library, then press the home button to the Zeam launcher. The icon still does nothing. The book I am reading is on the SD card if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any solutions to this!
Known issue with no real solution at this time. The best thing I know to do is run NookHome and then pop back to Zeam and it will work (for a time). What I have found is that after a while, the background home launcher will get shut down and you would have to do this trick again.
For the record, when it quits working, Nook Color Tools shows it's still running, but SystemPanel shows it isn't. Quick refresh and it works again.

Can you describe the problem in detail? I don't seem to have it. Rooted with 4.5.6.

From a fresh reboot (just to make sure everything's clean), reading now icon doesn't do anything for me (if it does for you, let me know!). So I run NookHome to pull Home into the background, then hit the N key to go back to Zeam. Now the reading now icon works.
Do whatever, and then just let it go to sleep or something, say overnight (not sure about exact timing, but overnight should do it). Now the icon no longer does anything. If I go to manage applications in Nook Color Tools, it shows that the stock Home is still in the background. If I use SystemPanel though, it does not show it running. Do the NookHome trick again and now SystemPanel shows the stock Home is in the background again.
Weird, mine works and that's how I rooted as well. It works in ADW Launcher EX and in Zeam Launcher. Are you guys sure you just aren't hitting the icon in the right spot? You know how these screens are. I have to clean mine on a regular basis to get some of those inputs on smaller icons to take.
book works for me too!

I downloaded a free BN book (James Madison). When I hit the book icon either in the upper right corner or in the left part of the task bar, it takes me directly to the page I left off.
The icon works with either the ADW home page or Zeam home page. Coincidentally, I have ADW installed also.

Okay...I'm confused...what has a book icon in the upper right corner? I know the stock home app has an icon in the upper left corner but I thought you were running ADW? The stock home app works fine.

I am confused.. I meant the upper left corner "book" icon. The book icon always works from the upper left corner (when it's there). I followed your suggestion and after the NC is in sleep mode overnight, the stock book icon with ADW in the lower task bar no longer works. Clicking the icon in the NC home app seems to rejuvenate (for lack of a better word) the ADW book icon.

Yep. We're on the same page now
What are you running when the book icon is in the upper left? Only thing I know that does that is the stock home app.
This reading now is my one bugaboo about 1.2. Still can't figure out how the icon works perfect in 1.1 (using AN 3.0.0 from GMPower) but not in any other rooted NC. When I look at the differences between AN2.2.25 (for 1.01) and AN3.0.0 (for 1.1) and MN x (any of them for 1.2), it's hard to justify why one works and not the other. There are no framework changes in the MN for 1.2 (thought to possibly be a difference for 1.1), yet it doesn't work again. I'm starting to think that it's actually something that B&N tinkered with.

Yepp.. only the stock home app shows the book icon.
Kind of an interesting development here...
I actually installed ADW (just the free version) and, IIRC, at this point my HomeSwitcher disappeared, pretty sure it was not the Froyo version, but I went and downloaded HomeSwitcher for Froyo. ADW never shows up in my apps drawer (for Zeam or even itself), yet now the icon seems to stay working regardless, even though I’m only using Zeam.
So, recent changes are:
I've updated to Zeam 2.9.5
I installed ADW (free)
I lnstalled HomeSwitcher for Froyo (after the original HomeSwitcher disappeared).
Just a follow up on this...I uninstalled ADW and as soon as I did, the 'Home' app vanished from the active apps.
So I reinstalled it (but didn't run it). Book icon not working. Then I ran NookHome (to launch the stock Home app) and hit the N button to get back to Zeam.
And, for whatever reason, that seems to work! Home stays resident *all* the time now (11.4MB, no biggie). So, the reading now icon continues to work, even though I'm in Zeam!
The weird thing is that ADW still never shows up in the app drawer. I can run it via Home Switcher or via the market, but not via the app drawer.
Anyone else have a similar configuration that they want to see if this works the same for them?
I have tried searching and have not been able to find anyone that has the problem that I seem to be having. I have an error that stays on my home screen or background that says "Problem Loading Widget". I really haven't noticed having any problems with widgets loading (at least for the ones I've used) but it doesn't matter what i do I have not been able to get this removed and it looks pretty bad. If anyone can share some advice with me or can point me to a link or something that I have over looked I would really appreciate it greatly. I have attached a picture showing the error and also one showing my phones information. If anything else is needed please let me know.
I personally use LauncherProPlus...
And this happens when you do a TB restore of LPP.
I've always been able to remove the widget with a long-press though...so that's unfortunate.
Does the launcher you're using have a backup/restore option? If you've created a backup...restore it...
If not, I'd just uninstall/reinstall and put all of your widgets back in place (a pain in the ass, I know).
That's ADW (can't tell if it's the EX version or not).
I agree, you SHOULD be able to long press it and just delete the widget. However, if you can't go into ADW settings (If this is Cm7 and the built in ADW, I think its in the regular 'Settings' menu. If ADW is install on top of something else, then you can get to it from the menu key while at home.
ADW has an option to 'Reset ADW' which will clear all data and start over.
At least ADW EX does. I haven't used stock ADW in a while, so I can only assume it has it too.
First off, I am a NOOB. So take what I did with a grain of salt, it may not be right. If I could get a senior member to check this out as well. I installed 2 launchers, go launcher hd and adw launcher ex. Then installed wallpaper wizardii, now I can use my pictures to set the background. You have to use "no scroll" in the settings. I am still playing with the functions, and it looks better on go launcher hd than adw launcher ex, but it works.
Rooted kfhd , step by step set up.
Do you have to be rooted to install launchers? I am un rooted and it never shows up in my app list. I can side load just fine, just not launchers. Tried Nova and go had.

if you are rooted, if you move the apps to system/app you can change there permissions. This allows for you to change the launcher to any launcher by default. So that when you press the home button you don't have to be forced back into the amazon launcher. Completely different from side loading the apps. I highly recommend it if you prefer a different launcher like me.

Ok thank you, I did not know that I had to change the permissions and file location. I am going to root my Fire tomorrow and then I will do that.

Word to the wise--DO NOT set your new launcher as default until you are very sure it is working ok. You can get stuck in the boot loader and believe me it is no fun!
Ok I have rooted it and installed apex and it is very nice. Everything is working smoothly. Now i might go make a theme pack to make it look like stock ics. What are the dangers of modifying framework-res.apk?

Luckily, there is a star sympol, which you can get in to Silk browser, after that you can scroll down notify , get in to setting and clear Go laucher default.

Although I can only make out half of what you wrote - I can confirm I too had this problem with Apex ("Apex has stopped working"). Luckily, I was able to get into my email through the favorites star and clear defaults. I dont know why, but the Apex launcher will not work for me.

Had the same problem with nova launcher, had to change to Go launcher
Blurry kindle wallpapers
For anyone whose having a trouble finding a good unblurrywallpaper for you Kindle Fire (if using a launcher):
Search the Google Play store for an app called Wallbase
Once installed, go to Settings --> Resolution --> Select "2560x1600"
Find a wallpaper you like and set it as you wallpaper. WALA! You can also save it so you can ur wallpaper while offline via Wallbase.
I hope people who have problems with blurry Kindle wallpapers get to see this. I was surprised when I found this out! GOOD LUCK!
Hi,
I don't have a clue when it comes to android. I have just rooted my Simple Touch with Glowlight and the relauncher screen looks nothing like any Android desktop I've ever seen. It looks like this:
htp://imgur.com/i5hBgZc - insert an extra t - it won't let me post any links..
I haven't tried to install the NTGAppsAttack yet, as I don't want to install over something that is already incorrect.
Any ideas?
That's how relaunch looks.
The home screen is a file manger, the middle button at the bottom (9 little squares) is your apps drawer, you can configure the home directory and other stuff from the gear button, etc.
You can probably install a standard android launcher, but with all the slidings and and graphics and such it just isn't very well adapted to e-ink
I felt the same way about Relauncher when I first saw it. Seemed to hide the most important stuff. I tried a variety of launchers (also totally new to the Android world). I settled on ADW Launcher. Seems to run and look just fine and allowed me to "hide away" the apps that I didn't want to look at all the time behind the home screen.
I have used ADW and Re-launch but settled on lightning launcher as best for me. You can customize it to have no background and it is very fast. I keep Re-launch on my Nook but set it up to run as an app and not as a launcher (you can find this somewhere in the settings).
Thanks for the replies guys. I have been trying to configure Launcher8 as my homepage as it looks quite clean and it's very simple to use.
Question is in the subject.
I'm running a custom ROM (Syberia). I'm glad I can turn off the Google App, which by default shows up to the left of the home screen, activated by a swipe.
I'd like to replace in this space the third-party SmartNews, which I prefer to the info I can get from Google App..
Does anybody know how to make this happen?
I'm also running Magisk, so if there's a Magisk module that does this, I'd like to know.
Thanks.

I think there was a way to do this with root but as I'm on stock I just use Nova Launcher so I could add a widget to left screen & set home screen to right or center screen
