You know..with me being new at anything dealing with a Android phone,can sometimes be a real PITA...
I had a problem with starting Launcher Pro. I did everything I could to use it but no matter what I did I couldn't access it. I was pretty sure I had to change the defaults to do this,but everything was grayed out so I couldn't. I PM'd the Impaler747 who has helped me and others like me out several times ( Thanks Bro ) and he confirmed the defaults had to be cleared..and suggested the normal approach to doing so,which was
OK, do this. Go into settings, applications, manage applications, and then scroll down until you find launcher pro. If it's not there, then you don't actually have it installed, which would be the problem. However if launcher pro is there, then select it. Scroll close to the bottom, and select "clear defaults"
After you confirm that you'd like to clear the defaults, hit your home button. A dialogue should come up and ask which program you'd like to complete the action with. Check the "use as default" box, and then select launcher pro, not ADW.

so I knew I was on the right track..but still couldn't clear the defaults..I knew I had it loaded..hell I even downloaded it to my PC then copied it to my SD..but I just couldn't change the defaults in ADWLauncher nor could I access the LP settings..
So..I headed to the LP forum and started researching as I should have first before bugging folks with NooB questions ..and low in behold a few others had similar issues..The problem was the given answer "Use Home Switcher" which will allow you to clear the defaults and go back to being able to switch between ADWLauncher and LauncherPro doesn't work with Froyo 2.2...So..figuring I had to find something else to work with CyanogenMod-6 V6.0.0-RC1 which is 2.2, I headed to the Apps market and listed right below HomeSwitcher was the answer to my needs..ClearDefaultHome..this little free app does 1 thing and 1 thing only and that is to allow you to clear the defaults and switch..No more problem
So..I guess many of the old timers here are probably thinking.."what a dumbass" ..and that's ok..cause I'm still on the bottom of the learning curve,like a whole bunch of folks about these..but I just thought I would pass this on just in-case some other newbie like myself was having similar issues..
So..to all the Newbies like myself..when things go wrong..Don't Panic..most all of the answers are available..just think it through..and go look for folks having similar problems..and what they did to fix them..Most of the time..along with a dash of common sense will get you through..

Go back into manage applications and depending on what launchers you have you need to find the one you are currently using; sense, launcher, adw and then clear default. Or you can do a search on xda for home selector and download and install on your phone. Once done open the app and choose which launcher you want.

That's the way it is supposed to work..but it would not allow me to clear the defaults..That's why I was having a problem...and went looking for a solution to fix it...It's all fixed now as I said before..but Thanks anyway for your suggestion..

HaHa!!!
See what happens when I don't read the entire post. I was using the app you mentioned, but think I found another one that is like Home Selector which lets you choose your default launcher. Does cleardefaulthome do that or just clear the default launcher until you press the home key?

It clears all th defaults so you can choose either one..That's all it does..It makes fixing a simple mistake..well just as simple..

The most effective way to change your default launcher is to physically uninstall ADWLauncher and push the Launcherpro.apk into your /system/app/ directory via adb. Firerat posted a very clean and effective method of doing this on the Cyanogenmod forum boards. If someone happens to have a link please post it. Remember as always nandroid first before screwing around with your system files.

While this may truly be a effective way of doing this,it isn't for the majority of folks like myself that have never or rarely ever use any type of command line prompt in a terminal window.
While I do understand the need to learn how to do this when working with these phones,especially while changing things around on them,for some of us finding a easier solution without a steep learning curve is really the fastest way of effecting the changes we need. Hence..the reason of my post to give a easy solution to those needing one.
Here is a posted review I found today of what I used to fix my problem..

I think I see what the issue was. You were trying to use launcher pro, right? If I read that right, you were. Clearing the defaults in the app you were trying to use would do no good, even if you could. You needed to clear the defaults in ADW, not launcher pro. Then mash home to get the dialog box.

I couldn't clear the defaults from either unfortunately.In ADW the clear default button was grayed out...and even though I had LP loaded..I couldn't open the program..even when I completely un-installed it from the phone and re down loaded it and re-installed it. That what was freaking me out I pulled the battery..re-booted several times...and was just about ready to start from scratch.. Luckily it didn't get that far and found the right app to fix the problem..

Ah, I misunderstood then. Glad you got it sorted out.

I apologize if this has all ready been asked. I did a search and nothing came up for the NC. This is my first Android device and I'm new here, take pitty
Anyway, I managed to download several apps from the Android Market but have no idea how to find/use them?
Did you install them, or just download them?
Did you install a launcher (ie. LauncherPro, ADW, etc)?
If you installed the apps, and you have a launcher, then they should be in your app drawer. You can get that by using the app drawer button on your launcher's home screen. Tapping the app drawer button should bring up all of your apps -- including both the market and stock nook apps.
I think I just downloaded the apps. You don't install them while in the market, right? If that's the case then I definitely just downloaded them. One of the apps I downloaded is a launcher that most everyone seems to like on this board, zeam I think it's called. Of course now I have no idea how to find it, or any of the other apps I got. Using it would be nice
Check your app drawer (the icon in the middle of the row of icon on your home screen). It is likely that, if you used the Android market, you installed the apps. That is the normal function when looking at market apps.
Cheers,
kev
Ok, I think I got it. I somehow managed to start zeam and I can access everything ells from there. Thanks for the help guys
Hey everyone, hope to get some help here. I put 1.2 ont he wifes Nook the other day, then last night decided to go ahead and root it. However, using Home Switcher, I accidentally set Home a default instead of Zeam.
I can't seem to find a simple process to clear that default setting from the Nook Home launcher. Can anyone help?

Run Home Switcher again.
Thanks, but I can't seem to do that from the stock home screen, it isn't in the apps list.
If you can get back into the market, install another launcher, or uninstall then reinstall zeam. That should reset the first home button press to select launcher.
If he is on 1.2 non bn apps.do not show up in their launcher.
If you happen to have.softkeys running just get into.the setting.of softkeys and change home buttom.option

yeah, that was what I was thinking. I tried to download softkeys last night from here, but 1.2 won't recognize the file type. Guess I will try again later.
If you can get into the Applications Settings screen, you can clear defaults on the home launcher and that should do it.
Same problem...
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...

If you rooted, then you should have Nook Color tools in your apps. Go to Nook Color Tools>Settings>Manage Applications and find Zeam. Then clear the defaults and back out of the application. You should be able to make a choice between "Home" and "Zeam" as your launcher when you press the Nook button.

With the MN root for 1.2, the B&N Apps button/screen only show the B&N apps, tho... I'm hoping once 1.2 rooting is further along we'll see all of our Apps, but not at this point. I'm still hoping there is some way to do this, so I don't have to start over.
I ran into this same thing. To fix it, going through your web browser and install an APK for something launcher related. This will make android bring up the "Default Launcher" prompt the next time you press the 'N' button.
Try something like this, get back into Zeam, and uninstall it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827288
Edit: If you can browse to the Zeam, Soft Keys or Home Switcher APKs, I suppose you could reinstall and that would also bring up the prompt.

I wasn't sure if I was going to get any ideas, so decided to go ahead and start over, so I'm back to stock now and updating to 1.2, then will be MN again. I did take a quick look at the link you provided, tho, and must not have read through it closely enough, because it didn't jump out at me what I would have done. It was a post about phones, but I assume that was okay.
When you say to go through my Web browser and install an APK. How would I have done that? Using the browser on the NC, can you install applications from market.android.com? I didn't think you could...
I'm back MN rooted now...get to reinstall all my apps and fun stuff! Boo! I won't do THAT again!
On a semi unrelated note, has anyone else noticed significant lag when panning through the app drawer using zeam? Using phiremod cm7 I switched to adw (stock) launcher and it seems so much smoother even though I'm not clocking it as fast (1.1 to 800 MHz) which I found extremely odd

For some reason ZEAM's app drawer does lag on all versions of the BN software thats rooted. It has been seen by many users here. If you try launcher pro much better app drawer and totally smooth even more than the stock app drawer that comes with android operating system. Although I beleive you cannot do specific things using launcher pro that you can do with zeam!
I'm having the same problem. I mistakenly set my N button to Home and now it is as if my device is no longer rooted. With the 1.2 root, the Apps button only shows B&N apps. I hoping someone has a solution, so I don't have to start all over...
How did you get your N button to set as physical home? Are you using Soft-keys? In 1.2 so far I have not managed to engage the N button at all to go HOME. Ended up locking the Soft-key HOME icon in the Taskbar to get out of BN screen.
Easy fix, from home launcher: search, then just search for Zeam or what ever app you have installed. With search history on it could even be considered a crude app tray.
do a search, apps should come up in the search list and you can access the launcher from there.
Haven't experienced Zeam lag...

I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.

Hi All,
I managed to use the method shown here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/themes-apps/play-store-amazon-5-4-0-root-t3669740 to download google play.
This worked well, and I managed to download and use apps from the play store. Eventually I decided to organise all my apps into folders, taking it from 2 screens of apps into 1. I then turned off the tablet overnight. After I rebooted this morning, everything worked normally, apart from the fact new apps downloaded from the store wouldn't have an icon appear. The apps still work perfectly, they just don't have icons on the screen which is mildy frustrating.
Any help on this would be great!

This is an increasingly frequent complaint with recent builds of FireOS 5.6, especially in the HD 10. Root cause is not apparent and there does not appear to be a durable workaround at the moment. My guess is a 'glitch' snuck into the stock launcher that will be addressed in a future update. Conspiracy minded members will claim Amazon is up to no good. Will see where it goes.
For now not much you can do other than wait for a fix or attempt to use a different launcher with accompanying pros/cons.

I just got my son a Fire 8 for xmas and it has the latest 5.6.0 software and I got all the google stuff installed and was working great. He downloaded a few games and apps with no issues then he downloaded 2 other apps (games) and they didnt get added to the home screen (stock fire launcher) and the only way to get to them is through the Play Store pretty much and then select Open from there. Is there any way to get them added to the home screen? They will show up in the recent apps but after you use a few other apps its gone. Its frustrating to say the least.
EDIT: I tried the force stop and clear data thing and it didnt work. Still missing app icons on the home screen. If I install Nova Launcher or something though they all show up in the app drawer. Im on the fence with this Amazon Fire at the moment.

I did not but I did delete the 2 apps and then later did a reboot and then just reinstalled them to see if it would have issues again and this time they both showed up on the home screen. I hope my kid doesnt run into issues and cant find his apps if he installs them. Either way, they are there now and hopefully no more issues. Fingers crossed.

Hi, I just got my first fire hd 7th 'gen. I tired the hack and I do have google working on the it now, but like others here my apps on the home screen are not showing up ( the ones I installed the day of the hack are fine).. it is the apps I have installed the say after that are not showing up on the home screen, I had files ready to go but... HO hum!
what I call Add/Remove: they do show up, but unlike a phone or windows. I have no clue how to fix this. since it seems you can't drag and drop from a master folder within the system.
I have seen where you got your home screen working again, but I don't know enough about the Fire 7th Gen yet.. can you or someone be so kind to point me to the correct place where I will find the launcher?
better yet, tell me what the launcher is.
Also on the search, is there a way I can get a google toolbar installed? I dislike using bing. I have to say I do so love my Google tools. and I miss my google search bar I had on my cell phone..
