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!

[Q] Can't add apps to home screen

Adding apps to the home screen should be simple:
"To add app shortcuts to the Gear's home screen, go to Apps on the Gear, tap and hold an app icon, then drag and drop it on the home icon at the top of the screen."
This doesn't work for me. I tap and hold and nothing happens. I've had no problem removing apps from the home screen through settings > edit home screen. But I cannot add.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else have this issue?

When you do a long press, nothing happens? The app should "pop up" and move with your finger just like when you drag and drop on your phone. Then drop it onto the home button at the top that appears, and you can then rearrange all the apps on the home screens.

If its the same for home pages where you can't rearrange stuff, try wiping the device? If that doesn't work, you might have a defective digitizer touchscreen.

Yes its the same. I can go into settings > display > edit home page and I can long press to move and remove icons there. So I would assume that means the touchscreen itself is fine. But I cannot add through those settings.
Wiping the device is my next move after asking on here (but I'm holding off on that for now). And after that I'll be calling the Samsung shop where I bought it.

OK so I wiped it, without restoring. Noticed straight away that below the "edit home page" option in settings, I now have a "manage apps" option which lets me do what I need. Where was it before? Who knows!
According to the help FAQs I should still be able to move icons/apps without going into settings. I still can't do that. Is it correct that I should be able to?

I don't have the same issue you do. But I also don't have "manage apps" under the "edit home page". Are you seeing this under "display" in your settings on the watch itself? Someone else has the option in GM to send an emergency message like the pebble. They are running the same sowtware number of GM that I am yet that option is not on mine. I don't understand how so many of the same watches with the same software can be so different.

It seems the emergency assistance option has to do with what phone/rom you are running. The option is not there on stock T-mobile Note 3, but if you put the international rom on it, it does.

Don't like AoD, is DT2W an option ?

I don't care for the 'Always on Display' that Samsung and LG have implemented in their phones the last year. To me it seems absolutely useless, because it's not interactive and can't tap a notification to reply from the lockscreen. I much prefer Motorola's way they did their 'Active Display', I think that's the better way to do something like that. But whatever
Is it possible to disable AoD, and turn the screen on by Double Tap 2 Waking ? And then swipe up like other Android phones to enter the home screen ?
If I get a text, I want the screen to turn on, and be able to reply to that text from the lockscreen, is that possible on the S8 ?
You can double tap the home button to wake from the lock screen

Does that need AoD on for just the home button ?

Needs AoD and that only takes you to the lock screen. You can hard press the home button on AoD to get right to the home screen.

Can reply to text notifications from the lock screen ?
No. But you can get a lock screen app that will allow you to do this. Here is one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.floatify

You can install "glimpse notifications" app free from playstore with allmost zero battery consumption ... With that you deactivate AOD and everytime you receive a notification the screen light up to see the notification on lockscreen.
Don't forget to activate led bling light to work together and put all the apps that you want to light up your screen to "white list"
Also, the long press home screen works on both AoD and the regular lock screen, if you turn off AoD.

Hard pressing the home button while screen is off (AOD off) also works.

Nova Launcher:Disable search apps pop up that comes up when long press in the dock

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 . . .

On your home screen, tap the Apps icon or swipe up in order to show all apps.
Then select an app.
