Would it be possible to modify a firmware or create an app that runs automatically, that would let the home button be used to lock screen? Kinda like the last thing, after returning to the home screen?
yes i guess it's possible, since it's open-source you can almost all you want.
I guess it has to be implemented in launcher.
Should be possible...
Alternatively, is there a widget that simulates the lock button ?
Would be handy for me, i always mute my phone when i want to lock it LoL
hello guys ...
Perhaps there is an application that can do for you ..
Download by market a free application called "lock screen widget"... put the widget on the home and lock the screen just click on the widget ..
I find it amazing ..
I hope you like it
Sorry if my english is not very good
Im using a paid app called screen off. Works great. Tried other free ones but didn't work well.

Thanks for your suggestions. Im only interested in the actual home button. If someone would kindly start develop something that could do the trick for me, I would be the first to donate 10$?
I'll try to look into it, I have simple yet not-so-sure-about idea.

I'm looking for an application dock like in open home..does anyone know if their is one available without open home?
thanks in advance....
Haven't seen one, but it would be sweet. Just a widget with last 6 apps used would be cool. Or drag and drop, like a tray.

you mean like when you hold the home key down?
It's not quite what the OP is looking for, but try "Bar Control" which allows you to put launcher icons for your favorite apps in the status bar.

Exactly but a widget.
Seems silly imo, but thats my opinion...unless you mean something like the iPhone dock? dxtop has a second tab that keeps track of recently used apps. That's the closest thing I've seen yet. Since 1.5 is officially on its way to the masses I think you'll see a ton of widgets hit the market soon.

its in one of these "HOME" apps somewhere..
yea i cant wait until more widgets come out.. i had to not use Open Home anymore just to see the stock widgets.. money comes, money goes.. LIFE!
Id be willing to bet money that once stock 1.5 gets pushed open home will open their app up to the new widgets.

They have a working beta and it works with all widgets. When you install it though it wipes your screens clean and you have to redo everything. Also folder icons go back to default at random But its a small price to pay for the widgets i think

SweeterHome has app trays that can be installed. You pick the apps/shortcuts, etc you want in the tray and can customize almost EVERYTHING!
Also, has what they call "springboards" which is an icon/shortcut that will open up an app tray (or) that can contain anything you want.
I've been using it for quite some time. It is in development - but, most of the major bugs have been worked out.

Anyone else wishing they would have modified the market to allow for Apps + Games + Widgets in the menu? It's going to be a pain in the butt finding new widgets with all the apps.
I love dxTop implematation of the app dock.. just swipe the drawer pull tabs to the left or to the right and there ya go. BRILLIANT!
So, the other day I was working. Great story, huh.. Anyways, I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and I noticed my Clockr date widget had magically turned on it's background (I have it set to transparent), So I went to fix it, but when I clicked it, Spare parts came up?!? I thought maybe I must have just clicked something else, But the next 8 times I clicked it, the same results came up.
So, I'm wondering if there is some kind of custom shortcut to have a widget linked to a different app. Apparently, my pocket is smarter than me and knows how to do this. If there is such a thing, I would like to know about it here is a screenie so you can see that I didn't just click spare parts.
Im kinda confused but if you're asking how to make custom settings shortcut, just hold down finger somewhere empty on the screen and you can set it up.

Yeah, not anything close to what I said. I'm also pretty sure if I didn't know how to create a custom SHORTCUT like you said, I should not have rooted my phone.. Anyways I'm guessing my phone just glitched and what I'm trying to find out doesn't exist yet, due to the large number of responses I got
Beautiful Widgets has options to open diff apps when touching diff areas of the clock/weather widget. Its in the settings somewhere to change it.

thats adw on yorks blue theme
sounds to me like you just clicked something you thought you didn't.
If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk.
If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good, but you should only do this if you have some force closes or anything like that.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!
Good stuff can't wait to see more work here

The only thing that doesn't work is the phone button obviously, but I am working on directing that to something like a voip apk or nettalk!

My phone button brings me to my contacts like I would assume. Why not just remove that button by long pressing on it and dragging it to the trash? Then add a shortcut to whichever application you like.

is there a way to take advantage of the full screen? the icons are just in the middle of the screen. I dont know if this is true for all of you.
I can decompile it and make them bigger, that shouldnt be a problem.

When you hold the menu button it opens the google search. Is there a way to disable this? Or at least change the button delay time.
Settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance and voice input/assist app
There you can change it. Probably the "deepest" setting on the phone :silly:
I set it to turn the screen off Btw, with an app called screen off and lock.

Apologies for revisiting an old thread but this was the only place I found this solution.
Might be common knowledge for some but I wanted to highlight for other Huawei owners to try this.
In particular, this works also for a Huawei Y6 2017 !!
[NB: system is EMUI 4.1 on the MYA-L11 version of Huawei Y6-2017]
I recently bought my dad a Huawei Y6(2017) and installed easy-to-use apps for basic functions but the smallest delay in releasing the home button (maybe 1/4 sec or so!) was opening Google Search -- this was potentially going to drive hime crazy -- exactly the type of thing that would make him give up on his first smartphone!!
Being much more used to stock Android settings, I just couldn't find an option to stop or disable the long-press of the home button
tldr; As per the instructions, I set the buried option "Assist app" to "None". Job done.
Many, many thanks
How do I remove the app suggestions which are at the top of the app drawer it's driving me nuts
Must be an easy way but I can't work it out
Thanks

Anyone able to figure this out? I have a Mate RS that I could turn off this easily, but seems I cannot find the setting in on my P30 Pro.
Here you can see how to do this.

Seriously. I mean i read, that they removed settings in emui 9.1, but why on earth would you remove features, from a perfectly running system. I mean first they break split screen app switching on android 7 and never come jund to fixing it and now forced app suggestions. If anybody finds out how to get rid of them help would be greatly appreciated.
