Hi,
I've got Launcher pro setup and running, i'd like to add a shortcut for a soft back key (much like the back key in the quick drawer).
I've searched around and cant seem to figure out how to do this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
ignore me...found it
Can you tell us how this is done?
Thanks

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone can help me with a question. I want to remap the search soft key on my Nexus (the one that looks like a magnifying glass) so that when I press it, it opens Google Gestures. Does anyone know of a way or a program that I can do this with?
Thanks,
Ray

The multitasking app TaskOs does this for a long-press of the search key.
All that you need to is make it the default for a long-press of the search key. The factory default is Voice Search.
How do you do it? I've read around through the search and came up with something about menu/preferences/docks etc, or something like that. Problem is I can't get to a menu for Launcher Pro. It's not in my app list. Long press on home screen it doesn't come up. I've dl'd one from LauncherPro Icons app, just can't figure out how to switch it.

Menu soft key --> Preferences
If you are running Launcher Pro, go to the home screen and press the menu button. Click preferences - that's where you configure Launcher Pro.
wow. can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks so much.
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.
Hi guys, first post! Loving the forum by the way, very helpful. I'm not sure if this is the right board to post it on but I need help with the Launcher Pro shortcut editor / creator. Basically all I want to do is to create a dock shortcut that toggles wifi, and maybe one for mobile data so that it is available easily on any of my homescreens. Is this possible? I don't really understand the editor but it would seem possible is anyone knew the intent etc for this action?
Looking forward to any suggestions!
Mark
Anyone at all?
no idea how to do it - but there are plenty of other apps that will do that for you
Possible - Try Tasker
Don't think this would be possible as the dock can only hold shortcuts, not widgets.

Why don't you use the default power widget?
But Tasker allows shortcuts - Task
you can use quickdesk. its pretty much a second home on top of the existing main home your using like launcherpro. you just double tap home button and brings up an overlay of anything you want to put on there for shortcuts or widgets. pretty handy and accessible while doing anything like being on the phone. just double tap home and there ya go. i know its not what your wanting by the post. but it does do pretty good.
Thanks for the replys guys, most helpful! Yeah not as keen on a widget, wanted it on the dock so it's there which ever screen I'm in and doesn't take up any extra real estate on screen. I'll give that quick desk a blast though
I just installed this rom, but I am facing some issues:
1. At startup Launcher pro is fails to launch, I need to force close it all the time.
2. When I open & close an app from app drawer, phone doesn't returns to it's app drawer screen, instead it goes tohome screen.
3. I tried the camera.apk , but it doesn't zoom, even after setting volume keys to do that operation.
4. Contacts looks very messed up & mms.apk don't have option to select the contacts, they only appears when i start typing letters.
Please tell me how make the whole appearance more easy & functional. Thanks
I have installed the Precision Theme on top of my phone running Perception ROM with SuckerPunch. Once this was done, the menu button changed the items it had on the home screen.
It has an Add button for widgits, wall paper button, search button and a notifications button, all of which are kind of useless. It does have a manage apps button, and the settings button which are alright.
Anyway, I guess what I want to know is how to customize this menu. I've done some searching and haven't found much. I did install launch pro, and it changes a couple of the buttons, but it still doesn't make the menu key that useful. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Cheers.
