Just changed from ADW to Launcher7 for the default homescreen and its perfect. Disable animations and you've got nice big easy to read icons for the 6 or so apps that anyone would typically use on a NST.
Agree, but I do find myself wasting a lot of time making transparent white icons for all my apps.

Thanks! Hadn't heard of this before. Definitely like it for my Nook Simple Touch.
Took a little time to tweak the font colors, tile pictures, etc. But I now have a simple clean interface with only a handful of tiles: Amazon Kindle, Nook Library, FBReader, Gmail, Amazon Appstore, and Android Market.

hello, could u share with it?
Great tip! I bought Launcher 7 back in the day, but haven't used it in ages. Comes in really handy now. For those who want it: you get a free version in the market.
This is what I did with it (for now).

This is very interesting, I might give it a go.
Thanks for the tip.

Wow looks great. What is the name of that clock widget? And what about icon?
Let's say u leave your Nook in a sleep mode for a night (~12hours). How much battery %% it will drain?

Sorry for the late response. I've been on holiday. Here are the icons in case you still want them:
I am currently using ADW, and I would like to try Launcher 7, but I cant seem to find Launcher 7 on my nook... When using the search market app, I can find all sorts of themes for go launcher but not launcher 7. I can find it when searching on my laptop. does this have to be sideloaded? Or can you get it through the market on the nook when connected wirelessly?
EDIT: Got it downloaded with some file juggling, seems ok so far...
so how can i set launcher7 as my default home? i try after pressing N and i only have the option for relaunch or [nook] home.
ideally i'd like tiles in this order (all 1x1)
-------------------------------------------------
| |
[Nook]Home | Library |
| |
----------------------------------------------------
| |
Glowlight | Search |
| |
----------------------------------------------------
| |
Relaunch | Settings |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------
however i cannot seem to add a tile for [Nook] Home, or make launcher7 the default home app
Nook touch tools and home manager for both issues.

Hello. I am using NST Rooted 1.2.1. No exactly been able to change settings to enable the working of launcher7 as the default page on boot. Nook Touch Mod manager doesnt have an option for the same.
two more questions
Hi, Launcher7 looks really cool so I am trying it out.
Ran into two problems:
1- I can't seem to change the tile icons (from the ones that some generous users linked). I try to change the picture from 'image on sdcard' but my gallery is blank. How do I add the PNG files so that they show up in the gallery?
2- Is there a way to create a tile that simulates the upper left (book) button on the nook-status bar? (The button that brings you back to the page book you last read). I think it would be awesome to have a large tile just for that button, since I only read one book at a time.
Thanks for any help!

You don't use gallery. I use Total Commander instead. Install it, then you'll be asked to choose the default app for the task, and choose the commander. Also you could use any other file manager.

Yes, just choose the reader.apk as the app. I only guess it works (as the upper left), because I use CoolReader instead.
Cheers!

does anyone know of an app/modification (metamorph?) that will allow us to "dock" some apps so that they are accessible in every screen?
not like a widget that pops up a carousel (like some apps offer)...
i mean more like the "star" of favourite apps/docked apps that is accessible on every screen in open home..for those of you who have used it
it's to the far right on every home screen, you swipe the star and you have like 6 apps (or so) accessible....
any ideas? thanks!
Anderwebs ADW launcher sounds like something you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645550
HelixLauncher also does this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683
I would have to say that Anderwebs launcher is quite superior to helix in performance, but they are both great launchers.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Helixlauncher almost looks like a home replacement from the descriptions...
I do want to keep my regular home app..since it has 9 screens
I just wanted to add the two main things I liked from alternate home apps
I.e., the app dock...and if I can find it, a way to "name" each home screens, on the bottom, next to the app drawer icon...
I'll test out the first option to see if it has an app dock without modifying my app drawer icon, hehe

Helix can have 9 screens too.
Hehe..thanks...but I guess I'll just stick to keeping my most used apps on the main screen and if I am on screen 9 and need to get to screen 5, I'll just hit the "home" button again, hehe
But I do have another modding question...I am kind of highjacking my own thread,hehe
is there a way to add the "dots" that indicate which screen you are on to either side of the app drawer icon? (Like screen 5 would have 4 little dots on each side?)
...or failing that, a way to label each screen? (Apps, games, etc...)
I saw one app that did this...but it had horrible reviews...so any app or personal way to modify it would be great...thanks again!
Definitely try out the ADW launcher... it has more customizer than even you would know what to do with!
http://www.jbthemes.com/anderweb/adwlauncher.html
it does look/sound good...
however, if you have to install it the same way you flash a rom, i don't think i can do it as my bootloader is locked...(telus milestone)
any instructions on the actual "flashing" part? the only ones i see is to change the zip file to "update.zip" and apply it from recovery mode, but it says invalid signature when i do that and then does nothing...
or can i just install the launch.apk file in the zip?
LauncherPro is faster than ADW.
It's just that you can't set your own app dock, there's one provided for you, it's shortcuts to Phone, Contacts, Messaging and the Browser.
Helix can have 9 screens too.

if you're looking for some serious customization, look for sweeter home on the internet. it's in beta (for like 1 1/2 years now) so it's not on the market but i had fun fooling around w/it. it's basically a home replacement app that you design yourself from the ground up. kinda steep learning curve at first but you can always download someone else's theme and keep it or even tweek it how you like. there's even forums too if you need help.
http://www.sweeterhome.com/
maybe i'm way off target, just thought it would interest you
thanks, i'll check it out...
but i wasn't originally looking for a home replacement..i had open home before (and this one might be better) and I just didn't like the "bulk" of having an extra home app
thanks again though, i'll still give it a shot, hehe

ADWLauncher has tons of extra features, and they're all toggle-able. If you don't like the dock, turn it off in settings. Want more screens? Settings. Want the Galaxy S drawer? Settings. Want the home screens to scroll faster? Settings.
hehe
i know
but the problem is i can't find a way to flash it on the milestone...

I may be way off-base here but my wife is using "Open home" on her Cliq (because she couldn't stand MotoBlur's ugly UI) and it has everything that you're looking for: Number of screens, workspace labels, dock, dots, etc) and it seems like it's running OK on her phone. I know that it's a "replacement" home but it shouldn't be a problem on the phone with some spare RAM (i.e. any phone except for G1 and original MT3G)
Good luck.
Hi again ...
I "modified" this application for my personal use with the intention of integrating the sense interface style.
You Can Create labels with a long home shortcuts click on your Android home with sense interface, you can set your labels, save and import settings, change icons (sense original an other icons) to the labels, set bookmarks, multilanguage support, and more.
I hope you like it and enjoy
NOTE: Only tested on 480 x 800 dpi
Donations:
Donations are welcome. I don't do this for money, but feel free to donate if you find my work useful.
NOTE: This application is free and can be downloaded from the market, the changes that I make are not with any purpose of profit ... I do not need
MOD EDIT: To post modified apps here at XDA, you must:
1) Give the title of the original app
2) Give credit to the original dev
3) Have permission from the dev to post edits of their work

This app is really nice. Its works on the my LL 7ck100.

works on my Vibrant. this app is freakin sweet.thnx
Very nice app man! It's what i was looking for weeks!
Thankyoouuu!!
thank you verry much!!!!!!
ich love this app!!
great app,one thing though, could you please make the icons for the folders appear at the same height as the normal sense ones? For example the internet icon from your app is a bit higher placed on the screen than the normal sense one.
Edit: Found the bug, if you add the folders to homescreen from within the application the icons are placed jsut right,if you add them from android homescreen they appear missplaced.
And one mroe thing,how to i add bookmaks?
Works great with my htc wildfire!
Thanks man!
can u make an option to remove the name of the label i like to just see the icon with no name under it
thanks a lot for this useful app.installed for 3 days.it is so great.
I have AppsOrganizer 1.0 installed. When trying to install this app, it asks me to uninstall appsorganizer. Is this the same app maybe?
The name for AppsOrganizer is com.google.code.appsorganizer

Thanks man great Application
Name: TileClock
This is a HTC style clock I created using WP7 live tiles.
The official market place doesn't allow apps like these because of the more enthusiastic background processing.
This is a very simple tile clock without any customization.
Just pin the app to the home screen, start the app and enable the clock.
Enabling the clock will pin a second tile.
Arrange the tiles in your home screen so they form the HTC style flip clock.
The clock updates rely on the background task.
If the background task doesn't run (disabled by the user or power save mode) then the clock stops updating.
This app requires a dev-unlocked device (official or chevron).
Update:
Separate apps for 12h and 24h support for when the switching option doesn't work.
The original 2.1 can of course still be used when the switching option does work.
Enjoy.
why another tileclock app
nice app..can we please have 12 hour & 24 hour choices in settings please?

I tried submitting it, but the background-tasking required for an app like this is not (yet) allowed by Microsoft.
Just tried 2.0 with 12 hour support, and I can't get the 12 hour setting to stick. I check it, exit out, and it's still 24 hour. When I open the app, the setting is unchecked.

Hello Guys!
I tried making a Sword Art Online Widget Interface on my HTC Incredible S running on ICS.
preview is attached below. i cant post any links since im new sorry for the inconvenience
2 main applications I used:
Apex Launcher: available on google play
Glaeja : available on google play.
*Apex Launcher works for ICS and Jelly Bean only i think
I recommend installing Apex Launcher first
Apex Launcher setup after installation:
(Not sure this will work though, since settings are from my phone)
1. Download all the attached files with apex on it. Copy on sdcard. (extract zipped files)
2. Move apex_settings.bak to /sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher/
3. Open apex settings and go to backup and restore
4. Select restore.
Glaeja Setup after installation:
1. Create New Widgets on Home Screen. 1 4x1 Glaeja Widget for the hpbatterybar and 2 3x3 Glaeja Widgets for the bars.
2. Download the skins, images and font files and paste them to the corresponding folders found in /sdcard/com.gmail.kanitawa.glaeja/
3.Select the widgets on HomeScreen and click Load Skin, select the corresponding skin file.
4. Select None on the On Click option.
Notes:
Apex:
-Key Settings:
Number of Screens = 3
Transition Effect = None
Use Tablet UI Mode = unchecked
Minimum Scrolling Time = 2
Show Wallpaper = checked, Mode = Singlescreen
Glaeja:
-For the Name on HP bar just edit widget and then find the corresponding text with Shawn on it. Edit the Display Text. same goes for LV: __
-For Shortcuts of the bar, the shortcuts can be replaced on the Transparent Buttons found on the bar widgets.
There is also a video showing my work on youtube, it has poor quality but it satisfies it purpose. (again sorry for not being able to post links since im new)
Thanks guys! And I hope some people find this post helpful. Comments will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Uploaded missing file manager icon

Help
How exactly do you do all that you did to make it look the way it did in the images. I am completely lost in terms of what to do... I don't really know how to make anything come out as it should and after about an hour of messing around with everything I gave up on trying to figure out from the directions that were given... Can I get a step-by-step instruction as to how you set it up? thanks
Hey! Your SOA theme looks really amazing! I tried to set it up, but my apexlauncher wasn`t in the SC card?? Is there a different way to insert the settings into apex launcher?
Yea your instructions dont really help at all. Even had to create the folder for the apexlauncher but i somehow think that the settings backup didnt do anything at all. An howto would be very appreciated since it does look very good.

Just a heads up. You can use any images for the icons, any images for the widgets/text/etc. Once you grasp what is happening and put a lot of time into it, your imagination is the limit.
I'll try to explain what is happening here, that I see. I have a similar "tabbed' style setup on my tablet. I'm using Nova and a quick one button tutorial you can easily do to see what is happening goes as so...
1. Press and hold blank spot on screen, press Nova actions, then press jump to page, and select page 2 (this will be 2nd from the far left of your setup, adjust accordingly). Now you will have an icon on your screen.
2. Press and hold the icon, select edit and you can replace the icon with any image you see fit. Now you have your "button". For example sake, lets say you have an icon/text that you want to have media stuff brought up.
3. Now on page 2, which should be blank (no icon), you will want to make the same 'jump to page icon' again, this time in a color of your choice, so that it looks "selected." Obviously this means you will have to edit/color your image/text as you see fit. I colored my "media" icon text, the color blue for example.
4. Next up, now that you have a colored icon on screen 2, making it look selected, is to fill up screen 2 with media stuff. You can use the images he uses, or just widgets already in your phone, or the above glaeja app that looks like it can be useful here. Your widget can be text that has click actions, that open up apps etc. It looks like the OP has placed the arrow icon on this page as well as to give it more of a this is what you selected look. The options are endless.
So then you just repeat that process with icons on screen #1 that jump to the other pages of you phone, that have been edited to have the content on them you're going for. It's painstaking, but hopefully I've made a visual for you that sheds light on what is going on and once you grasp that, you can make anything.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Essentially, you are going to create all of your screens to have the 5 "button" vertical layout (or however you want it to be, 4 buttons, 8, etc). Your main screen, they will be all white it color (again whatever color you choose) and swipe one screen to right, have the same 5 buttons vertical, but the one icon you want to make look "selected" have it yellow, in this instance and also on that screen would be the corresponding widget with the images and icons/text you want to look like it opened. How this works it when setting launcher to no scroll on wallpaper, and setting the button as a widget action to turn to page '2', it flings the screens to screen 2, where one icon is "selected" and there is different content on the screen (the widget, ie looking like it opened a menu). search on youtube for tabbed setup for android and you'll see setups alike.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Hello guys..
I just made a good looking theme of Sword Art Online.
This theme is compatible with Gingerbread and up.
The tools you need to make this are:
SS launcher the original
SAO Widget
They're both can be get from Play Store. :fingers-crossed:
ATTENTION
This is not a custom launcher to give you SAO appearance. This a theme for SS Launcher to give you a feature of SAO appearance.
Why SS Launcher?
To make this theme works on every OS from Gingerbread and up, SS launcher is the closest launcher to make it possible.
If you're ready, here are the steps
It is a quite long step, but it is not difficult...
- First, install both of SS launcher and SAO widget
- Then download the attachment I've prepared for you guys. The file contains my SAO theme package and the wallpaper.
- Now open the SS launcher, press settings button from your phone, and delete all the desktop page (just press the trash icon), except one page called Home.
- delete all widget on the home screen.
- Next, extract the "SAO - Qijos" and put the "SAO by Qijos.zip" in a folder.
- In the SS launcher home, press settings, and then press 'theme', then choose 'load theme'.
- Choose the "SAO by Qijos.zip". If it appears a notification to clear template and other stuffs, click Yes.
- Now press the settings button, and then press "New Page" to create several more pages. It will come like this
1. Make a page named "2" as cover page, click OK.
2. Make a page named "3" as cover page, click OK.
3. Make a page named "ap" as application drawer, check the 'hide' click OK.
4. Make a page named "4" as cover page, click OK.
5. Make a page named "5" as cover page, click OK.
- Now you have 6 pages in total. Then go to home page, hold it at the center to make the menu pop up, then click Load a template
- choose the first template for that home page.
- then go to "2" page, hold again the center and choose the second template.
- go to "3" page, choose the third template.
- go to "4" page, choose the fourth template.
- go to "5" page, choose the fifth template.
Now you will end with 5 pages. Not yet to make it perfect..
for now,
- press settings button of your phone --> theme --> animations --> set speed to "0", Type = Rush, Effect = 5, then apply change.
- go back once, select the Pinboard Visibility, and uncheck App Drawer and App group. Go back to home page.
- press settings --> preferences --> set Orientation to portrait, check the Full Screen, check Keep Last Page, and check the Disable Swiping.
- Now the final step is, go to home page, hold the center and choose new widget.
- Choose the SAO self Hp Bar, adjust your settings, put to the top of your page.
- make another new widget, select SAO Teammate's Hp Bar.
now hold the SAO self HP bar, and select PIN
and also the SAO Teammate's Hp Bar, select PIN
Enjoy the elegant theme of SAO.. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
P.N.
If some of the menu doesn't work, it means the app is missing because between you and I might have different applications.
If that happen just click it and choose your target app...
Cheers...... :highfive:
Nice!

Big Thumbs up! :good: Love this theme. ssLauncher is a very powerful launcher, and with this theme (which is already purely amazing), you have barely scratched the full potential that I see. Amazing Job.
By the way, some of the features that you use are only in the pro version. For example, no scroll and pinning a widget. Instead, I just made the widget on each screen. It is a memory hog, but whatever, its worth it!

First of all.. Thank u very much..
Yes.. Because to make it perfect,, it needs the Pro version of SS launcher.. And I only made the theme version without lack of features for the Pro version. But if needed, I will try to make another similar one for the Free SS launcher version... :beer:

that was completely beyond my expectations...
awhile ago i was browsing through play store and found themes that are using common launchers where only the icons and background are SAOnized, now i found this....
thank you...

First of all thank you very much.. Yes, it's the same for me for the first time. And then I try to make a theme that gives more elements SAOnized.
So I putted my idea to realize this theme that gives more power of SAO

That's come from the SAO widget.. It also happened to me sometimes..
If you use several Task Killers, set SAO widget as an exceptional from being killed, otherwise when you kill the task, the SAO widget may not work properly...
Moreover I believe the SAO widget still got some bug that made it doesn't work in perfect condition, so when the SAO widget developers update it with bug fix (I hope there will be), try it so the widget could work properly..

I have a SAO rainmeter skin for my computer been looking for one for my phone, this is perfect, thank you soo much for the layout. Is there a way to have the logout tab turn off the phone? Seems kinds dumb but I'd think it'd be cool.

Thanks for the comment...
Actually it is possible to make it that way... But I think it is not really necessary for users that want this theme that way, because they might accidentally turn off their phone from the launcher... XD
So, I just made the Logout tab into an application that turn off the screen.. But you're free to make it turn your phone off if you wish so...

I think there are apps that can do that, but you can also use custom build.prop.. but I never tried myself about making the build.prop...
