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.
Lancher7 is perfect

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.

Hey rtoussaint,

?Thanks,

This is very interesting, I might give it a go.
Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: It's simply amazing! Thanks for the great tip! I've set it up yesterday and it's simply awesome!

Here's my take of Launcher7(it's a working clock widget on top-right)
Wow looks great. What is the name of that clock widget? And what about icon?

Have fun.

Based on my observation, around 1-2% with wifi off.

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

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!

This is what I did with it (for now).
