I have an old Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight that I rooted with ReLaunch 1.3.8 a while back. When I press the "n" button and it pulls up the "home," "library," "shop," etc buttons on the screen, and then press the library button, it used to ask "Complete action using" and give the options of "Library" or "ReLaunch." But then my daughter got a hold of it one day and checked the box to set a default application, then set ReLaunch as the default application for the Library screen button. Now I can't figure out how to unset it so that I can get the default Library to open again. Can anyone help with the steps for clearing the default application for the Library button?
I found the solution with the Nook Touch Mod Manager application
In a similar case you can just just reinstall the app that you really want and the "picker" will show up again.
Code:
C:\>adb install -r myapp.apk
Or go to Settings > Apps > App Info > Launch by Default > Clear

Can't select another keyboard. In "settings" select keyboard, return to app drawer with Home or Back-back-back, run any app with text field, long press - and no options, only native keyboard. Open "settings" again - another keyboard not selected.
There are another settings also don't save changes sometime.
What wrong? Can i fix it?
NC with CM7 on SD, nightly 68.
I'm running nook touch 1.1 firmware.
I successfully rooted using SalsichaNooter 0.4 18/11.
When clicking shop in the andoird apps the nook flickered then i was given a credit card not found error. now when i click the physical nook button the menu pops up. i click the "Shop" button and the menu goes away but the screen goes no where. It works properly for the other selections int he nook menu.
So far i tried using the Erase & DeRegister Device option.
I tried the factory reset method by holding the bottom page turn buttons.
The shop selection stil will not respond.
I seemed to have fixed it with these instructions.
...I cant post links apparently, understandable.
It was on the ebook reader blog. google search: How to Unroot Nook Touch to Restore it to Original Firmware
It restored my nook to 1.0 firmware. Not sure what else this does.
My shop button also does not work from the little appdrawer thingy at the bottom of the screen. But I added a shortcut to the Shop app from my launcher to launch the app directly and that seems to work just fine. It's not much of an inconvenience to do the extra step or two...
Open NookTouchTools and tap B&N Buttons and change the Shop button from "B&N Default" to launch application and then scroll down to the "Shop" app (It should have the same icon as the shop) and select that. It should work great.
Is there a way other than rebooting to navigate back-and-forth from standard nook software to the rooted interface with all the apps?
I don't know which method you used to root but if you have NookTouchTools you could change long press action for 'n' button to show home by using B&N buttons setting in that app (you must have android launcher as default homescreen).
And have unchecked setting "'n' button goes to home directly" to toggle B&N quicknav on quick press 'n' button.
Use ButtonSaviour. It works wonderfuly for me.
Sent from my NOOK using XDA App
I just put the library and shop B&N icons on my home screen, it doesn't get you to the stock home but it works well. Then you can have nook touch tools set to only 1 home screen.

Use ButtonSaviour.
Hey, if youre running a custom ROM, and want to use the on-screen buttons, having your capacitive buttons still functioning the same can be pretty redundant, so I came up with a way to remap them to open any app that you choose. All that is required is Tasker and root access.
First off, what you need: Tasker, Root, and a text-editing program
Get your keylayout file. There are multiple ways to do this, but since all phones use different names for them, its best to just open up an app like Root Explorer and move to the file itself, and then copy and paste it. The files name is synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl, so if youd prefer to adb pull it, its located inside the /system/usr/keylayout folder.
Edit your button IDs. After getting your .kl file, open it with a regular text editor, and find the keys that you want to change. For mine, I used the home and back keys. Locate where they are; it wont be hard as the keys have their actions next to them, and change one key to CAMERA, and the other the SEARCH.
Map button actions in Tasker. Finally, open Tasker (turn off Beginners view in settings), and hit New > Event > Hardware > and then your button of choice. You can either select the Camera button first, or the Search button. Inside the Event screen, set the priority to Highest, and if youre editing the Camera button, check the Stop Event button. Create a new task in the profile for your button, and create a new action. After, click App > Load app, and then select which application you would like to launch on that button. Do the same thing for the Search button, but you have to long press the search button to access it, as regularly clicking it will open Google Now.
Hope this helps anyone with hardware keys that wanted to switch over to the nav buttons.
NOTE: This is only original work in the sense that I put several different methods together to achieve what I personally wanted. I use a dark theme in my S8 so seeing the Bluetooth icon in the quick settings can be hard in the sunlight when I get in the car so I put this together to help me and I decided to share this with the community. Nearly all of the credit goes to others for making this possible.

YOUR PREFERRED BIXBY REMAPPING APP
First things first we need to set up a profile to intercept when the Bixby button is pressed. The following is what I use:
Profile: Bixtooth (32)
Event: Variable Set [ Variable:%WIN Value:Bixby* User Variables Onlyff ]
Enter: Bixtooth (31)
A1: Bluetooth [ Set:Toggle ]
I will link to the profile for you to download for simplicity at the end if the guide.
Now we have to give the task an icon. Open the tasks tab, then open the Bixtooth task. In the bottom right corner three is a grid icon. Tap that and select whatever icon/image you want to give it. I personally selected the bixby icon that I got from Google image search.
Next, we have to export the task as an app using the app factory plugin. This is very simple. Just go to the tasks tab, highlight the Bixtooth task and tap the 3 dot menu and select export, then export it as an app.
Give it a name so Android can recognize it such as "com.bluetooth.bixby" then tap Back then once it's compiled, (about 5 seconds) tap the little Android icon to install it as a dedicated app.
The final step is to use your preferred bixby remapping app that will remap it to an app, then simply select remap to the new Bixtooth app we just installed and you're done!
Now whenever you tap the bixby button, it will toggle Bluetooth instead.
This is just a simple way of making life a little safer while driving. Hope it helps!
