Can someone pls tell me how a can change the behaviour of the green (call) button?
I installed aContacts and there is the possibility to link it to the green button, but I decided then to stay with the default dialer (set as default)...now I would like to change that...but how?
Thanks
Go to your menu and go into manage applications and clear your defaults. Next time you use that app and ask what to be used for defaults you can choose it then.

Thanks for the quick answer, but I cant find "clear defaults"...I go "app drawer" > "Settings" > "Application"...and then?? when I click on dialer I see the usual info plus un-install...*sorryforbeingnoob*
The 3rd button should be "Clear defaults", with first one being "Clear data", then "Clear cache". I don't even have the option to uninstall Dialer, so you might be in the wrong section.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Worse case, just uninstall aContact and install it again. You should get asked again which one you want to default.
@ cigar3tte
ah thanks I see the clear default button...but it is disabled...I checked "dialer", "dialer storage" and "acontacts"...hmm I will give uninstalling and reinstall a try...nope doesnt work either, I dont get a second dialog that asks me what app to choose...f***
Try installing StarContacts. Not saying to use it, but this app also affects the green call button, which should bring the menu back. You can just uninstall once you've set your default again.
If this doesn't bring up the menu, something else has definitely gone wrong.

I recently installed a new ROM with M2D, and have a couple questions about it.
I was wondering if it was possible to disable the large finger-enabled menus. For instance under the messages tab, when you press "Menu" (in the bottom right) It pops up options in a fashion that it takes the entire screen up, allowing you to use your finger and forcing you to select an option before you can leave the menu.
Is there a way to get classic menus back with M2D?
Well firstly this is the wrong section to have posted this query, secondly i know about this and it doesnt force you to make an option, you just press menu again to get rid of it. have u actually tried that, nyways hope that helps
This is the bestest double post eva!

My fault as accidentally moved it here out of ROM Development "posted in wrong area" Mind you it's rather general
You can use advanced config to disable menu enhancements.
I have my Nook Color rooted, running zeam, and softbuttons.
I mistakenly chose to have the Nooks home button set to go to the nook "home" and not the zeam home.
In the dialog that comes up when you pick which action you want the button to perform (softbuttons, zeam, home) there is a checkbox that says something like "always perform this action". It also says you can go into application settings and change the preference.
For the life if me, I cant figure out where the heck to change it back to to the default setting, or switch it to go to zeam (which is what I want it to do at this point).
Is this something that can be done in the software on the Nook, or will I have to resort to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873984 ?
Thanks
I did the same thing with ADW launcher. Pretty sure all I did to fix it was to uninstall ADW then reinstall it from the market. After the reinstall, it popped up the "which do you want to use" dialog again.
Download Home Switcher from the market, and use it to change your home to SoftKeys. Afterwards, modify SoftKeys settings to switch which home you'd like to come up, and whether it is a single or double button trigger.
Nook color tools > all settings. > manage applications > menu in soft keys > filter > all > home > clear defaults.
Installing any new launcher ( or re installing zeem) will give you the window to choose again.

..worked like a charm, thank you.
EDIT: This has been resolved, at the expense of my own ignorance and embarrassment! Thanks for the help, folks.
For whatever reason, all of a sudden, I can't seem to long press on any icons or on the wall itself on my ADW Launcher home screens. So I can't move or delete icons or widgets nor add any new widgets and etc. from that "add" menu. However, I can long press in the app drawer and in folders, and basically anywhere in the phone except for the home screen.
I've tried clearing cache, reverting back to stock launcher (where I can long press fine anywhere), resetting ADW, and rebooting my phone, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Holding down on an icon will just result in the orange highlight staying on indefinitely.
Clearly it's an issue with ADW, but has anyone experienced this?
did you unlock adw in the menu? you may have locked the desktop.

Download "Home Switcher" from the Market (free). Open it, then hit "Clear Default" on the bottom. It'll bring you to your current launcher's system setting menu, then just hit "Clear defaults" near the bottom. Next time you hit your Home key, it'll ask what launcher you want; pick and choose and choose to make it default or not.
Hope that helps.

Or Menu -> [ADW Options -> Phone Settings (if using ADW) ] Applications -> Manage Applications -> Go to your launcher -> clear defaults
^^ If you know what launcher, you should anyways.

menu -> unlock desktop.....
nevermind. problem solved.
to unlock/lock the desktop...simply click the settings button when on the home screen (the 2nd from the left on mytouch 4g) and then click "more" and then lock/unlock desktop.
I have three launchers on my Captivate, original TW, Launcher pro, and ADW. Every time I hit Home button (2nd from left), I get the window to select which one. It has a checkbox at the bottom to select to use the one hit as default from then on.
My question is, once that checkbox is selected (say if I selected ADW), how in the future can I get back to, e.g., TW? I could open Launcherpro or ADW from Apps, (but I would hate to have to go to Apps every time to open it)! But I don't see how to ever get back to TouchWiz since it is not in Apps. ??
Can you make that selection window show again once you have checked a specific default?
Settings, applications, manage, launcher you are using, clear defaults
Use home switcher or go into menu, settings, applications, choose all, find the default launcher, click on it and select clear defaults. From memory but should be close.
after you choose the default, to reset the default:
from homescreen, menu, settings
applications, manage applications
find your current default launcher in the list, click on it
select CLEAR DEFAULTS
hit home and it will ask you what to use
Thanks.
Love this place--it should be named "answers are here!"

I agree...use home switcher. I t makes life a lot easier, especially when you want to try out some launchers without going back and forth to the settings menu.
Running MM HD Sense 1.7.
I want to change the default application/action when I press the Phone button on the main screen so it asks again for options.
How do you do that? Can't figure out which application controls it to clear the data.
Thanks
I think you're talking about app defaults. You can reset the default by choosing the 'Clear defaults' option in Settings - Applications - All. It will probably be either Contacts or Dialer where you will need to make these changes.
