Database Develop

My home button can take my to 2 different home screens. Question.

One appears to be android without senseUI.. which boots up automatically.
The other is Sense.
below these two options is a don't ask me again.
Now If I choose one of these to be the default, is there any alternative method between navigating between the 2? perhaps with a shortcut icon on the home screens?

PErfect! [This message is now long enough to post]

If you dont have homeswitcher.. or you dont plain on every switching agian.. The manual way to switch is....
Go to setting>applications>manage applications
Find the launcher that is set as your default. Htc Sense, Launcher, helix...
Then click on it and scroll down and hit "clear default"
Press the home key again, and it will ask what home screen to use.

[Q] My home screen changed HELP

So my home screen changed what can I do to fix it? when I tap home it goes to a different screen than it use to. I went into edit and tried to move them around to get the screen I had back to home but did not work. I have a icon on the bottom of one of the screens while in edit that looks like the home button and it stays on that screen no matter what I do. I moved that screen everywhere to far left to far right but it still stays as my home screen. I want my old home screen back Help me please.
I hope I have explained this correctly.....

What launcher are to using?

I am using what ever came on the phone I have not added a launcher

I do not use touch wiz. That is stock. I use launcher pro. Read this, maybe it will shed light
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...64-how-do-you-change-default-home-screen.html

I found that and read it while searching google for help but it did not help me I really did not want to add another launcher to the phone if I don't have to. And I tried all those things.
Thanks

From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher TwLauncher.
Find the current launcher select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.

Thanks this is what I was looking for are to a tech person for this phone or what? I have search everywhere for an answer and have found nothing that is correct. I need your contact info in case I have other question or problems about the phone.
Thanks Again!

No just got my captivate in december. Have a tech background actually with blackberry. If you get stuck again just post here again, there are many helpful forum users.

[Q] New to Nook Color

Alright, I did some searching, but like any forum, it's generally messy.
I was interested updating my Nook, to either Froyo, or Gingerbread(?), or the latest firmware from B&N...
Rooting it, and retaining root.
Perhaps getting GApps
Definitely getting Market access.
If anyone could point me to the best links in an orderly fashion, I would appreciate that many folds.

good luck

you don't even need to search. all of the threads are on the first page of the dev forum.

That may be but I wasn't aware that development was for the general user. I'm new here using my husband's account.
Thanks for the help guys.

What launcher are you using, stock?

Yes... is there a method to do it with stock via ADB or a launcher you recommend?

Try LauncherPro or ADW, or just search the market for "Launcher". After you install a new launcher, the next time that you press your home button, you'll see a dialog with the list of installed launcher apps with a checkbox at the bottom.
If you have SoftKeys installed, I'd set that as the default (ticking the checkbox), and then configure SoftKeys to passthru a single press of the home button to LauncherPro, ADW, or whatever you want for a home screen manager/launcher.
Once you replace the stock launcher, to add a widget, perform a "long press" on the home screen. This is simply pressing on an available (no icon) area of the home screen for ~2 seconds. You should now see the "Add to home screen" dialog where you can select from several actions. Select "Widgets" and a list of available widgets will be displayed.
HTH

Ok set soft keys as home now how doi configure it to passthrough?

Go to the app drawer and launch SoftKeys. Click the screwdriver icon on the toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen. This will bring you to the SoftKeys configuration screen.
Select "Virtual Home Button"
Select "Normal Press"
A list of all installed launchers will appear.
Select the one that you want the SoftKeys virtual home button to launch when it's pressed.
Press the back button
Select "Physical Home Button"
Select "Button"
Select the option "Single Tap Launcher, Double Tap SoftKeys"
Now, when you press the home button, you'll go straight to your default launcher. A quick double-press will take you to the SoftKeys app, which acts as a task switcher, among many other things.

Thanks that was a big help guys.

[Q]how to go to this screen

how To get to this screen mind to teach me pls thanks

you can either pinch to zoom out, or touch menu soft key and select edit

I think it also depends on what launcher you're using.
TouchWiz has that option if you press your settings button on your home screen and press Edit. TouchWiz 'edits' pages like that.
I know LauncherPro has that sort of screen by pressing the home button.

Assuming you're talking about an alternative launcher, and you want to go back to the original Samsung one, you would do it as follows. Tap Settings on the home screen, Applications, and Manage applications. Now mine is ADW Launcher, so I'd tap that, but if yours is a different one, tap that. If you don't know which one it is, just look through the list for a likely candidate. If it isn't on the Thir-party tab, you could try All. Anyway, once you've found the launcher, tap it, and on the next screen tap Clear defaults. Close all screens. Now back on the home screen, tap the Home button. It should open a window where you can select Use by default for this action. Tap that, and then Samsung Home. From now on the original Samsung launcher will be used.

Thanks guys for the tips...it's working now
