I'm using [ROM] Stock 1.4.2 root +mods + go launcher. Right now I'm pretty much stock with go launcher and playstore apps ect. When I double press the N button it sends me back to the stock Barnes and Noble home and not the Go Launcher Home Screen. Can I remove the stock function when pressing the N button, for example, sending straight to Go Launcher instead of Barnes and Noble home?

I haven't been on stock for quite some time, and I never used this particular root. With the ones I used there was a "Home catcher" or something like that where I could set my default launcher. As I recall I could reach that one from the notification field, bottom left corner.

This is just a link to a PayPal account and the app is useless since you can't use it!

The link works and I can install the app but when I open the app the screen only displays a tab that says "Donate" nothing else.

I'm on thin ice here, but you don't actually "run" this app, as far as I recall. It just does it's thing in the background and when you press the home button it goes into action asking you what launcher to start. Or you can "force start" it from the bottom left notification field. Or something like that... (I said I was on thin ice!)

Does anyone has a mirror backup link?

The files seem to be gone from minus.com. At least I can't download them.

    Update 15/2/12

    Alright UPLOADING v2, will be a flashable zip now no more CWM backup folder and a standar Apk_Package_Installer.zip with:

    * Androzip
    * Anycut
    * App cache cleaner
    * Dolphin Browser
    * ES Bookmark Manager (to create shortcuts of your media on desktop)

    ... These apps are included in the v2 of this ROM.

    As i have mentioned in this thread with a flashable zip you get more flexibility.
    What does that mean? It means that you can delete apps that you don't want or add others by drag and dropping it/them within /system/app of the .zip

    Edit: OP UPDATED!

    Different but still no go.

    1) The B&N reader & store are availible in the stock launcher but are missing in from Go Launcher. Is there a way to migrate the app from the stock laumcher?

    2) Not as but an issue but annoying. The unroot app force close appears after every reboot.

    3) The 'N' key at the bottom reverts the launcher back to the Book default. I think I know why & how to fix this one.

    I was sure to clear the user data and cache this time!

    1. Is normal and why you need to keep stock launcher, you can tap on a book and it will open directly with reader or prompt a window with the option to choose between reader and 3rth party apps that you have installed.
    To handle better the back and forth launchers use HomeCatcher.apk

    2. Move the unroot app from /system/app to /data/app using a file explorer or just uninstall it if you think you won't need it with app for uninstall I have added

    3. Use HomeCatcher

    PS: Read my FAQ for tips

    Just to let you guys know i update OP with a full version (means with B&N content already included) so you don't have to use the re-bloat if you want to have B&N content.

    Also im almost done modifing a CM7 Soft-mod ROM with Ribbons ICS theme!

    @cgdash now i understand your request and that function got deactivated once i change SystemUI and framework-res apps that i got from this thread and here you can see some modifications that users have made. PM @xecuter or post in that thread for help and hopefully it can be done.
