So they're all working great, thanks for the browser install tip.
Waiting on a root or bootable SD, then I'll be gooood
Why not just search for go and and select go launcher?

Also figured out a way to go back to the laucher without reinstalling the apk:
Home button/search/type "nook"/open "NookHWTest"/hit the nook button 3 times/you get a prompt to select laucher or home
Great if you don't want to keep losing you laucher settings

hey there i was just wondering if there is a way to change the adw launcher in cyanogenmod 7.03 to launcher pro
Yes you can change the launcher in any Android ROM. Install LauncherPro, press Home button, check "Use by default for this action", then select LauncherPro.

Just leave it. It doesn't take up any app storage space because it was part of the ROM.

Also, If you're s-off after installing launcherpro you can move it to the /system/app folder too. If you're not s-off you can preinsert it into the rom zip in the /system/app folder or use adb to push it to the /system/app folder.
The same methods can be used to remove adw. I like to remove whatever I don't use because rebooting after wiping dalvik takes longer the more apps you have.

I guess the the title says it all. I have these installed on my nook color. When I go to market they show up as purchased, but when I try to install them, it just goes to the "Loading" screen and hangs there. Any ideas?
Go into manage apps and clear market data and try to download again. I had the same issue with ADW EX and this fixed it for me.
Thanks for the suggestion! But nope . . . after I hit install for ADW EX it just goes off into LOADING la la land . . . .
Added one step and had success!!!
1. Clear Market Data
2. Reboot before reopening Market
Then all was well!!!!

Good deal. I have had this issue ever since the new market rolled out.
I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.
How about trying to install a launcher like Go Launcher? The Kindle Fire people have some type of success with Go Launcher.
Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
no but I will.
you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
I tried a reboot no luck. I Also tried to install the apps from the download location after reboot. I get a problem parsing the file. This could be because temporary internet cache is cleared after reboot not sure.
I have Go running right now on mine and it rebooted into it automatically. If I home button, it goes back to the Nook default UI and I haven't found a way to get back to Go yet.
same her go is running and my other installed apk's are showing up in the app menu
here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook tablet
Here are some bad pics of go launcher running on nook. With installed apks in the app drawer.
I have File Expert, Market, G Books all installed as well as the Google services APK. Can't log into market yet. I'm a total n00b on this so if more experienced people have advice, let me know.
edit -
Nevermind.. must have been a bad file name or location.. i found another one and it works now.

Download the apk with your browser, then click on the notification in the bottom left, and install with package installer when it'd downloaded.
Get go launcher apk here:

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.
Thanks for the go launcher link.
Got the Google account info in via Youtube apk. Access to G+ works fine. Working on market now.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.
amazon appstore
I have installed amazon app store including all my free apps
from my account. plus opera web browser play on and kindle this rocks.
wave launcher
I have installed wave launcher and added go launcher this can help make up for moments when you need a home button and want to stay in go launcher. Hope this helps.
Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.

I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".

I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.
Is Kindle Reader app installable? That would make it worth it. Also are the apps all being installed in the 1gb or can they be installed in the BN partition?
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher
**** started new thread ****
I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

This is a Go Launcher error, the program's data has become corrupted. Clear the program cache and then go to the Go Launcher settings and restart the program.
I rooting my NT via t-r-i-c-k mac script and got it up and running just fine. However, I accidentally hit the default on homecatcher to the Nook Home and not the goLauncher home.
Anyone know how you can get back to where you can choose and there is no default. Thanks!
BTW t-r-i-c-k thanks for making such an easy root.
Just install another free launcher. Then Homecatcher will start prompting again and you can uninstall it. There may be a more elegant fix, but this only takes a minute.

Clear defaults from the Application Settings or install another launcher to clear defaults.
Homecatcher settings
Same problem here, I cannot get my Nook button back to original after installing Homecatcher. Installing new launchers and resetting defaults and cache do nothing. I have uninstalled it and my launchers trying to get the prompt back. There is no access to settings in Homecatcher only a donate link, what's up with that? How do you access the settings? How can I get my 'N' button to once again pull up my Nook default settings? Thank you in advance.
you can download manage applications on android market then go to homecatcher and clear defaults
Re-installed Homecatcher
I did the same thing on my son's NT and spent a few hours doing things, including trying to re-root, which didn't need to be done & I couldn't figure out how to do it. I read this thread & tried to find those options, but to no avail. . . so I just decided to find the Homecatcher app and re-installed it & the N function to toggle back and forth between the Nook home & Android launcher works just fine now.
I made the same mistake and no longer have homecatcher giving me the option, when I look at it with ES file manager there are no defaults, I have uninstalled and reinstalled homecatcher from the reference thread on this forum, still only BN home comes up and when I goto homecatcher I only get the donate screen.
I had made this mistake before but can't seem to clear it this time....please help?
I have tried to install other launchers, but they get errors and won't install.
Resolved - restored B&N home and homecatcher from Titanium Backup, working fine now. I think restoring the backup of B&N home is what really fixed it. I suspect that's where the default became set and it wasn't visible from ES Filemanager or Go Launcher so I could not clear the default.
