Is it possible to make the home button always go to home screen preview and not just when you're on the primary home screen? I forget what it's called but by home screen preview I mean the mode you get when you pinch at the home screen and it show's you all of your home screen spacially... same thing happens when you hit the home button after you're already on you primary home screen. I'd like it to do the home screen preview no matter which home screen I'm on.
Adw launcher allows this

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!

I just set up all 5 of my screens on go Launcher and realized the home screen is set to the wrong one. I know there was a way to pick which screen to use as home, but I can't find it. Anybody know how?

Yes there is. Go the the Launcher settings and then homes creen settings. There is an option called "Default Screen" or something to that effect. Home screen 1 is all the way on the left, home screen 2 is second to left and so on. To get the middle one as your home screen, set it to number 3. Hope this helped!
Hmm... I don't see a "home screen settings" I might add I'm using go Launcher ex... Dont know if it's any different

If you wish to change the default home screen, use the two-finger pinch gesture to enter “home screen preview.” You’ll see all of your home screens as little rectangles. Each screen has a house under it. The green one is your “home” screen. Tap any gray house to select that screen as your “home” screen.
One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?
Thanks
Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.

That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

Not being able to choose the default screen bugged me for a total of 1 day and now I don't care anymore.

you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home
While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.
Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? Thanks.
maybe an answer can be found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
How in the world can I change this image? Every app is only allowing me to change the home screen.
While I use Nova as my launcher...I believe it's the same for the default launcher...long press on the home screen, choose wallpaper, select the one you want and make sure it is used for both lock screen and home screen.
With the Home Launcher when you press on the home screen and select wallpaper, the image of your home screen appears above the selections but if you swipe slightly to the right the lock screen will appear and you will be able to change that one separately
Thanks!! I never realized the swipe was there.
