Hello,
I have an annoying behavior with QuickDesk and LauncherPro. It's kind of hard to explain, I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I'm using QuickDesk Pro [QDP] as the default Launcher and LauncherPro [LP] is set as the Favorite Launcher in QDP. I want to launch QDP by double-tapping the Home key and LP is set to single-tap. Doing the other way QDP as single-tap and LP as double-tap does the same thing.
When I tap "Home" a single time, it doesn't do the set behavior settings, which is "Open/Close screen previews" in LP. As a test, I set the Home key action, in LauncherPro, to "Hide/Show status bar". Then, when I press Home, the bar disappears at first. If I press it again, it appears and disappears immediately.
QuickDesk Pro's "Double Tap Timing" is set to 150ms, but I've tried to 1000ms, 750ms, 500ms and the same thing always happens.
It was as if the "Home" action was conflicting with both apps. I've tried many settings in both apps, but I can't seem to find a way to fix this (if user fixable). I've also tried to add LauncherPro to the "Translucent Exclusion List" in QDP, but it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else is using QDP and LP? And if you don't have this strange behavior, what are your settings please?
Thanks!
try checking the "Home button hack setting" or some thing like that in QuickDesk Pro, maybe it'll get what you need
This topic really needs to be labelled [Q] rather than [APP].
I have seen this behavior personally and not just with Quickdesk but any app you set as the default home app and then set LP to be your favorite launcher within this app.
The result will always be the lose of a few LP functionalities, most notably one tap on the home key.
The issue is definitely a conflict when setting LP as the favorite launcher and another app as the default Home. Only the developers of these apps can make them compatible, not something likely to happen.
I am using Enom's ROM which allows me to select what app to launch when double tapping the home key. So I set LP as the default Launcher and set the double-tap home key action and selected LP Activities and then launched Quickdesk's actual functionality, this worked nicely.

I installed Launcher Pro and as expected, whenever I hit the home key, a dialogue box pops up and asks me "Complete action using". My choices are LaucherPro and TwLauncher.
I would like to select LauncherPro and set that action by default, but lets say I want to go back to using the default launcher. How do I reset that default setting?
Did a search, couldn't find anything, must be too simple for most...
This has actually been brought up a number of times, so I have a hard time imagining you searched much.
Either simply install "Home Switcher" from the market place or go to Settings--->Applications--->Manage Applications--->Launcher Pro and click "Clear Defaults"
This is how you would do it in just about every android phone, but since you're running the Vibrant according to your signature, if the exact actions aren't the same, find the way to get to "Manage Applications" and go from there
Just a quick tip for people who don't like using the power button to turn the screen off. If you happen to use Apex Launcher you will know it gives the user the ability to use "Gesture Control" in the form of swiping (up and down) and double-tapping.
Some people will also know about useful apps that allow the user to quickly turn off the screen with just a single touch on the screen, usually in the form of a widget. Well, a certain app called Screen Off and Lock is used in the form of a normal app that is launched. So, when configuring gesture controls on Apex Launcher it gives you the option to launch an app using any one of the provided gestures and when using it in conjunction with Screen Off and Lock you have an easy way to turn off the screen. I personally use double-tap and it works flawlessly.
To use:
Download and install "Apex Launcher" and "Screen Off and Lock" (both have free versions)
Select Apex as your default launcher and then go into "Apex Settings"
Navigate to "Behavior Settings" and select any one of the "Gestures" (except "Long Press")
Press "Launch App" and then select "Screen Off" (not "Configuration")
Enjoy
EDIT:
Also, don't forget to go into [(System) Settings > Security > Device administrators] and "check" the box next to Screen Off and Lock.
Hey everyone? I've searched and searched, but I cannot find any app to assign an action like double-tapping the home or long-pressing the back button to launch an app like voice search. I thought I possibly found a way with tasker, but it didn't work. Anything you guys found for doing that? I came from the Atrix 2 where you could simply tap the search button to launch the voice command app of my choice (I preferred vlingo), but the One X, sadly, doesn't have that. It will be appreciated.
A third party launcher like Apex or Nova should do the trick if you have to have the home or right button long-press bring it up.
Even with Sense, if you install Nova (but keep Sense as the default launcher), you can add an icon to the homescreen which launches voice search which is close, but would not allow voice serach popup from within an app (but then again, just press home, the the voice search icon). When long-pressing home in sense, select shortcuts at the bottom, Activities (with the Nova icon), then Voice Search, Recognition Activity. I did the same with WidgetLocker and have voice-search from the lockscreen. I can now send text without unlocking (whoooohoooo) even with PIN secured.

Really? I can't seem to make that work...
I added a voice search icon to my Sense dock so it shows up on the lock screen. When I activate it from lock, it's still prompting me to unlock the screen. What am I missing?
Viper rom. You can make the capacitive buttons do whatever you want in venom tweaks.

Thank you for the tip! I installed Viper and it's awesome.
Unfortunately, the screen lock's still causing me trouble. I can select Google Voice Search, but it's still prompting for me to swipe my unlock pattern. (Same is actually happening with the camera -- which wasn't the case before I flashed Viper) I tried WidgetLocker, but it isn't letting that happen either.
Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?

1. Have "Back, Home - swipe up on the home button -" activated in the "navigation bar & gestures" settings of the device.
2. Open any app on the device
3. Swipe up on home button or on the right side of the Pill navigation bar in order to access recent apps. In short, try accessing the recent apps screen by swiping up fast.
4. Observe that it doesn't work and after swiping a second time, it takes you instantly on the home screen without accessing the "recents apps" screen

Happens to me randomly with stock launcher set as default. With Nova as default it seems to be resolved.
Just trying to make my new tablet with China ROM feel like home, and want to use my normal launcher "Action Launcher" couldn't figure out how to override the gesture, so turned on the navigation buttons, but the home button does do anything. Anyone know how I can fix the home button, or override the home gesture?
Also the quick tiles, I notice that it doesn't use standard android quick tiles, so the apps that usually have quick tiles don't show up. Can I add more tiles?
Tablet did OTA update to 13.0.364, and I do have L1 windvine. Anything else I should do?
Nova Launcher works great for me. You can then set it to the default launcher. I keep the Lenovo gestures and have added a home button to the home screen.
