Someone should build an app so that instead of getting a list of all home screens when you press home key, you are just taken to your default home screen, then holding the home key instead of showing recent apps will bring up a list of homescreens so you can switch to another without switching your default screen, but tapping and holding any of the home screens in the menu could give options to switch it to your default and hide from the menu (could be a restore button somewhere). This would not only be more efficient and very useful to people with multiple home screen apps but the hide options would be to those who have different home screens for personal and work, it would also be useful for people like me running the alpha desire rom because can switch easily between having sense enabled and disabled on home screen and menu.

Hi, i enjoy using both launcher pro home screen and the stock 5 page home screen on froyo.
Heres the issue, when i press the home button it gives me an option between going to launcher pro or to the regular home screen. I don't like to have to press a button again to get to the desired home screen. Would it be possible to set my home button to go to launcher pro if i tap it, and if i hold it it would go to the regular home screen? or can i reprogram one of the buttons, like the camera button to a home screen button?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Have you tried Home Switcher. It lets you launch or set as default any installed Home Screen apps (including native HTC Sense) and launchers. Pretty cool!
ya i saw that, i just wish it was a physical button rather than an icon. thanks, i think i'll stick with that.
just do not apply default home app. when you touch home buton all home apps are appear!

Try EasyHome
You'll have clickable widgets to change homes
I've been using http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.esdmobile.taskswitcher with a single Home button tap to activate, but I'm not a fan of the huge app previews. I'd like an icon only view (especially since it's 15 apps on one screen via CM6).
So I'm looking for an app that will open the Home Long Press by tapping the Home button once (ie NOT a long press), while still allowing use of LauncherPro etc. (A second tap would bring it back to the actual home screen.)
Does such an app exist?
have you tried quickdesk?
Power Strip is nice. It is so much more than just recent apps though. But I have it set to start with the recent apps tab, and can also use it to check a few widgets or as a launcher.

Yeah, didn't like it.
I'm just looking to open the Recent Apps list via a single button tap.
You could tap on 'more recent' on your desktop

Aye. It's a start I currently have More Recent set to LauncherPro Dock middle button swipe up Although it's not as fast as I would like: when in an app, need to go Home -> Swipe up, so an extra step.
If the Android Recent Apps list is completely inaccessible, then More Recent on a single home tap would be just as good
I love the style of Flyme on Meizu phones. They use one home button for back, home actions and swipe up for recent apps.
I am trying to make the controls on my Samsung S7 like its designed in Flyme.
I want to use only my HOME button, single tap for back action, single press for go home action, and still be able to use the fingerprint feature.
The issue here is, the RessurectionRemix ROM I tried only supports actions for pressing the button.
I have found, that app "easyHOME" enables the touching feature for home button, but I would like to have a more reliable solution like xPosed module.
Another feature I looking for is to show recent apps by simply swiping from the very bottom of the screen up. Do you know any way of enabling it?
I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
So after scrolling through various activities, I stumbled across this one (see screenshot). It's a horizontal bar with a slider to increase or decrease the amount of time required to press and hold the power button before it activates.
However, as you can see in the screenshot, it's grayed out. Does anybody know how to unlock this setting without root? I'd love to be able to manipulate this setting. sideActions is/was the only application I know of that allowed you to manipulate this.
NOTE: This menu is accessible through the settings activity "Press and Hold Power Button". You need to use a third party application. Nova Launcher has an activity launcher and can even create shortcuts for quick access.
