[Q] CM10 Nightly home button switch between touchwiz / trebuchet - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've flash my GT-i9000 with CM10 Nightly JB + semaphore 2.0.6s & patch fixed + Samsung Add-Ons . Everytime i press the home button it pops up a window for me to select touchwiz home or trebuchet. I was wondering if i pick one of the two and if i want to change to another one next time how can i do it? cause i couldn't find an option to get that done. Also i've found that everytime i turn on the phone if i goes to touchwiz home some of the apps place at the home screen will be gone. And also the drop shadows for each icon on the screen blink when it first load. Was this Samsung add-ons not a good thing to have? if so how can i get rid of this?
Thank you.
Regards,
Newbie

You can go to the apps managing page, pick the home app you're using and press "Clear defaults", that will let you pick the app again next time you press home or reboot.

What is tudo?
So you're saying you want the home button to open the app drawer instead of taking you to the first home page in launcher pro ?
No, i want it to allow me to select the home i want to use, either launcher pro, or panda home, or normal home, instead of going back to first screen, this appened after i uninstalled ahome i think.

Settings > Applications > {find your current default home} - there should be a button saying clear defaults. It will then prompt you next time you hit home.
Why would you want that though, unless if you are using multple launchers at the same time, which is a little odd.

[SOLVED] Accessing the CM9 taskmanager through shortcut??

To close my recent apps I have a widget of"android assistant" which closes all the apps at one touch.
And to view the open apps through the default task manager in CM9 I have to press and hold the home button for a few seconds. I was wondering is there any way to access this task manager through a one tap on the scren .considering the times I have to press the home button.. it might get spoilt or loose over time.
Have you guys got any tips to do this?? I also tried "simple text " app but there is no action as to access the task manager.
I did take a look at "tasker" and it had a way to kill all apps or selective apps. I think that could be helpful in a way ..

Don't know of anyway to do that, it's very possible though to make such a shortcut in my opinion.
However the button is of high quality and you don't have to worry about it.
Or you could always flash the on screen keys mod and use that instead.
Cheers.

I think that the on screen keys are a bit waste of space. I have used some iphones in my past, and the main button often got loose (shakey)

Install Nova Launcher from market and Configure the home button in Settings.
Now Just press home button one time and its done
Or apex launcher, you can reconfigure the home button for a 1 press & the task mngr should show in now time, or put an action icon on home screen.

I would prefer using the action shortcut.Will i be able to do that with Apex launcher.
Thanks for the launcher ideas, if i can't get a shortcut made, ill reconfigure the home button to open the task manager on one tap, but then won't it conflict with the actual 1tap idea of the home button? :S to get to the homescreen?

[Q] Long Press Back Button to Kill App

Since I have seen mods for long pressing the back button to call up the menu, I was wondering if any devs were working on a mod to kill the current app by long pressing the back button. Using the menu overflow 3 dot button is just fine for me, and really miss the kill app function from Jelly Bean on an old evo 4g.
Thanks!
AFAIK there are a few roms that have included back to kill
I've seen kernels with logo to menu or back to menu, but I haven't seen back to kill in any descriptions of roms or mods. I'm trying to avoid flashing a new rom, I only rooted to freeze the sprint id app through titanium. But for back to kill...
tranquil rom
D3rpONE
Just take the dive. Its nice in the water
Shifted from the ONE

You can flash lp back to kill from this post. If you don't like it, you can flash lp back to menu from the same post. Thanks to Timberwolf671. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41327584

[Q] Swaping homescreen in ARHD

Hi all. I'm using ARHD 9.1 and I think it's a really great rom. I was wondering if anyone here knows a tweak to enable homescreen swap in the hs settings. Maybe it's already been done with xf or it will be soon, but for now, I can't access the modules repository. thk.
On the HTC One a feature allows changing home screen
1) go to settings
2) select personalize
3) select customize home screen
4) long press the screen you want as home , then drag up to set as home
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that I know. I mean (sorry, english not my first language) is changing the order of the 5 different homescreens, like you swap icons or widget in one homescreen. I know third party launcher (like GO launcher EX) have this feature, but I'd like to have it in ARHD SENSE and being able to rearrange my desktop from time to time. Don't you?

[Q] How to disable the long press of home button,that triggers recent apps?

Hi guys,
I have a faulty home button that randomly triggers recent apps dialog (by long pressing of home button) even if iam not pressing the home button. Its not rom related i tried it. So I want to change the behaviour of phone when long pressing of home button to do nothing on this long press. This feature was possible in CM 10, where you can change the behaviour of hardware buttons. So i want to change the behavior of long press home button to do nothing. I have a rooted pnone of course and 2.3.6. Based rom by nkvi71 (see signature). Is it possible somehow? Thanks for your tips.
Btw i cant change it thru any launcher. For example if I change this in Holo launcher to do nothing on long press of home button, the Rom ignores this settings. And i cant use nova launcher because i have a gingerbread rom. Is there a fix for it?
Use cm7.
It gives you the feature to change it

Thanks for your tip i tried this rom based on CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 but no luck. In CyanogenMod settings i click on input - 3rd choice) and then I click on 'long press of home button' and then I untick 'Show recent apps' but no luck they still appear on long press of home button even if it is disabled also on holo launcher. Do you know any specifuc cm7 rom that offers explicitly to do nothing on long press of home button? Or am I doing something wrong??
