Is there a way for LauncherPro to snap back to the "center" home screen after a lock? It's leaving off where I left it and I'd really like to always land on my normal home screen. TIA.
should be fixed by going into settting and setting the default page to center or what ever number page is your center..
Maybe you can try the Launcher Pro forum

Same Question I had
That was the same question I had after the new update. As in we got optical scrolling so how about being able to push the optical d pad for home screen!
You can do this with WidgetLocker. It is a paid app, but I have it and like it a lot.
I have WidgetLocker, really like it a lot and did exactly what I'm looking for (pre-LauncherPro).
Example... if I'm on my middle home screen and swipe left, hit an icon for, say, Handcent, open a text message and type away. I then lock my screen, come back to it later and unlock. It will take me to the left screen that I left off from. If I hit the Handcent icon it will take me back into the message that I left off in.
Before I put LauncherPro on my screen I would have done the above actions but the result would be that when I unlock my phone it would always snap back to the center home screen and if I open Handcent it would always open to my list of conversations, not inside the one I left off in.
I realize both small, but I'm trying to figure out if LauncherPro is worth having as a result.
Thanks.
I notice this too. Swipe to the right, play Angry Birds for a while then hit the Home button to go back home and it takes you to the page you left, not the "Default Screen".
The "Home Key Action" setting doesn't have anything to tell it go back to the default screen, so maybe we're outta luck.
Is there an app that will automatically tap or touch the screen for you every couple of minutes for android? There is an app that has a continue button that pops up every couple of minutes. If you don't tap it it closes the app and then my tablet goes to sleep. I want to automatically tap it when I am at work so it continues to run.
Use Keep Screen On App or anything similar
I upgraded to the ver5.0.2 build 7sqr-uer0 and after the phone rebooted itself all of my home screen web page shortcuts were deleted. I created the web page shortcut using chromes add to home screen menu located on chromes browser over flow menu. Second part. When I now use add to home screen to save a web page the screen goes dark for ±10 seconds and recovers to my homee screen no short cut created. I have done a hard reboot and uninstalled all browser updates . At first I wanted to uninstall chrome the system said no. I do not want to do a reset. Suggestions to this noob is appreciated.
I have been aware of multitasking by holding down the app manager button, but in the process of playing today with Chrome I realized that if you hold on to the top right edge of the screen just past the options menu and drag down to the center of the screen you will resize the app into a window. I tried this with other multitasking apps and it worked. It's cool too that they get minimized into chat head like circles if you return to the home screen and can have more than 2 running. Just wanted to share this in case that people weren't aware if it.
I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
