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
Hi guys!
I've got a question about making the homescreen your own.
I'm talking about the call and browser button next to the menu button.
Is there a way to change these two into other buttons?
Cause I use the opera mini browser instead of the usual browser.
Thnx!

You should get a pop-up message when pressing the browser button on the Gingerbread homescreen asking which browser to use (if you have more than one installed).

Dude, that wasnt the question
OT: I don't think it's possible, I havent found a way
You can change your homescreen icons, but you need a home screen replacement app.
Something like Go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are amazing home screen replacements that let you modify and change your home screen to your liking.
Either of those apps will allow you to change the bottom buttons.
Actually, if i'm not mistaken, even with the stock home screen, you should be able to long press the icons in the bottom bar and drag them off the menu bar. You can replace them with whatever app you want by doing the same - long press and drag into the space for the menu.
Hello. I just installed Nova Prime 5.4-beta 4 on my LG G6. I am trying to figure out how to turn off/ disable the feature where when you long press somewhere in the dock area a "search apps" screen pops up rather than the normal widget/ wallpaper/ settings menu. It only does it when I long press in or near the dock, but since this is where I am use to long pressing to change wallpaper, or add a widget I keep getting this pop up instead. I have looked all through the settings and cant find it. I read that somewhere in the gestures menu there is suppose to be a long press menu, but if thats true I dont have that on mine. Ive added a screenshot to show you the pop up I am referring to. Thanks

Thanks. Im actually not talking about the home button. Ive got the long press home button to open search. What I mean is when I long press in the area where I have highlighted the 2 pink lines on the attached screenshot it opens the search apps menu also in the screenshot. But if I am able to press somewhere in the blue area above the pink lines I get the widget/ wallpaper menu. Its a bit hard getting the right area. I contacted Nova about it and they said the only way to disable that is to turn off the swipe up to access the app drawer feature. So I just try to long press just slightly higher in the area I highlighted blue. Hope this makes sense.

That actually worked. Thanks. Made the long press area a little smaller, but it stopped that menu from popping up. Thanks again!

Hi XDA Forum,
Here's a Nova alternative setup I like that will disable opening the the Search App form when you accidentally short tap the Home button . This setup also allows you to keep the Swipe Up for apps and the little " ^ " indicator above the Home button to open the App drawer when you actually want to get into the app drawer:
1. Nova Settings | App Drawer | Gestures | Swipe to open/close = On and
Swipe indicator = Enabled .
2. Nova Settings | Gestures | Home button | Nova | select None, and
"Only on main home page" = disabled .
This setup also seems to disable that "2 pink lines" area immediately above the home button, but below the " ^ " indicator, that Gam3r 4 Life showed in a pic above on 30th August 2017, 12:05 AM.
Regards . . .
Some how I have removed my camera short cup from the home screen and I do not know how to bring it back. Any help will be appreciated!
It's not in the app drawer? Find it in the app drawer and touch and hold it until it moves it to the home screen. If you don't see it in your app drawer, go to settings/apps to see if it's still in your installed apps list.
Apps just don't disappear randomly.
I can still see the APK but I can't bring it to the home screen, if I use the search function I can find it is just I can bring it from there to the home screen. I know I didn't disappear , it was my daughter or me

Hold down on it and drag it up to the top of the screen.
