Home Screen management

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!

You must uninstall and re-install launcher pro.

You don't have to reinstall launcher pro. You can download an app called Home Switcher from the market. Its free

yes i have home switcher and it does not fix this problem. still everytime i press home (bottom row below the samsung). I should also note this is a froyo phone.

I have a question regarding LauncherPro also. To be safe, should I disable it, or uninstall it, before updating to JF7? I just got my new phone few days ago and still on JF6..

I switched mine to twlauncher just to be sure.

corrected by starting phone in recovery starting with vol buttons pressed and then deleted user data. had to set up phone again but oh well

technut963,
If this happens to you again, in Froyo all you have to do is click settings, applications, manage applications, on the top bar click All, then go down and click TwLauncher, then clear default. Then hit the home button and you should be asked what one you want to use and set it as default again.

I simply setup a shortcut that links to Activities -> TwLauncher and one for LauncherPro on the phone. As for adjusting the default see above.

[Q] Need help with ADW setting

Hi all,
I have a purchased version of ADW Launcher. (ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3)
I cannot figure out to get the home screen button on my NS to show the 5 screens all at the same time, then I select the screen I want to go to.
Right now, when I press the home screen button, it just goes straight to the middle screen.
I used to be able to do it with the free version of ADW.

Pinch to zoom on the home screen. You can modify pressing what does what in the ADW settings.
Edit: Menu -> ADW Settings -> General Behavior -> Gestures -> Home button binding

Awesome,
Thanks for the super quick answer, zephiK

[Q] Lock app Home Screen

I have a stock ASUS TF300T, with the 4.2.XXX software update from ASUS is there a way to lock the home screen or an app or something simple to keep from bumping the apps and widgets around?

Yeah, but not with the stock launcher just open google play and search apex launcher or nova launcher and install 1 of them
Press the home button you should see a dialog pop up choose apex/nova and click always
On apex just press the "apex menu button" or just your devices menu button and press " lock desktop"
For nova not really know that but it should be in the menu as well

[Q] Apex launcher users: long press menu?

Hello,
This is a question for apex launcher users: do you have a menu appearing when you long press an icon on the desktop? With "remove", "uninstall", "edit", etc? I'm pretty sure that I used to have this menu but it doesn't appear anymore: I just have a "remove" option on top of the screen.
What if you long press and drag the icon: does this "remove" option appear? (and the menu disappears?)
Reinstalling apex launcher didn't help and apex developers couldn't help me either (it seems that on my phone, apex always think that I'm dragging the icon)
I have a nexus 5 with android 4.4.4
Thank you

Go to apex settings->behavior settings.. And tick enable quick access
Don't miss to hit thank button if it helps

Yes it helped a lot!
I'll hit the Thanks button as soon as it appears (it seems I need to have a minimum number of posts)
Thank you!
