Hello, My wife's phone is all of a sudden showing 3 small screens after the home button is pushed. They are the home screen and her other two screens. She is using ADW Launcher. They way she wants it to be is press home button and it goes to home screen. That's the way it used to do. Thanks for the help.
Change what the home button does in ADW Launcher settings
If that option is not there, because it has not been updated for years, install Nova Launcher instead, much better

ADW has been updated, but I can't see where to change what the home button does. Any help?
Thanks

You can't say 'ADW Aside' when ADW is the problem
If there is no setting in ADW settings to change what the home button does, you are stuck with it unless you change the launcher
Those 4 little screens you are seeing, are all the homescreens set up in ADW, when you swipe left or right, each one of those screens is one of the swipe pages

Hey guys if i install either Launcher pro or ADW home replacements everything seems fine works great.. However when I attemp to add a widget to the screen I can't seem to get that to work. For example if you long press on the desktop and the menu comes up for you to choose the widgets menu... once i click on the widgets menu nothing happens.. No list of widgets ever show up.... Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Therefore I get stuck using the stock Home screen....Help would be appreciated, thanks.

The S7 only allows widgets in the default home launcher. No others will work. I've tried.
If you have the $2.99 paid version of Launcher Pro you can add additional widgets from LP, but not the standard Android widgets. I'm kinda hoping they change this at some point.

Put appwidgetpicker in /system/apps. You'll need root explorer.

Go to your Apps drawer and long press on the app you want to add to the home screen. Don't release until it ends up on the screen.

Hello,
I am new to this whole rooting Nook color thing. I recently rooted mine and have been enjoying the new abilities, but I cant seem to add shortcuts to the "desktop" or home screen and can't add widgets. I searched around for a little bit but didn't really see anything listed about this..
Thanks guys
Long-press (hold) on the home screen. A window to "Add" will pop up. Tap on Widgets and enjpy

Thats what I tried, because I am used to using Android for my phone. But the only options that come up are "Clean up this panel" and "Change Wallpaper".
Not sure why I would have different options than you?
What launcher are u using? Also long press should do it!

Just the stock one. I rooted it but didn't know I had to change the launcher. I am not even sure how to do that >_> haha
Go to Market and download a launcher. Zeam, ADW and Launcher Pro seem to be the most popular. I think Market is under Extras.
edit: I use ADW but they are all similar.
Also if you want examples of how to spice up your homescreen, check out the screen shot thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860404
Most of them include which widgets they are using.
Thanks I downloaded Zeam and its working great!
is there any home screen apps that make unlimited continuous scrolling?
I am not clear on what you are asking, but I think the newest LauncherPro (0.8.6) has homescreen looping.
If you mean continuous cycling between home screens from start to finsh then try GO Launcher or ADW.

yup, i meant continous looping left and right, usually when you hit far left/right, you have to reverse. Im using ADW launcher, dont have it, maybe it is older version..
And any similar apps can let you see all the home screen in 1 continuing piece?
now each home screen has its own section, and stop at predefined space.
Which means i want to see all desktop linked in 1 piece and continuously left/right. that would be cool.
thanks.

The first guy to answer is correct, the latest LauncherPro does what you are asking for.
Launcher Pro - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher
just added this feature in one of the recent updates and can have different transition effects too.
Continuous Looping 1-2-3-1-2-3-ect.-ect. (or rev.)
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Homescreen Looping>REAL
Effects while switching screens; Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effects
the latest adwlauncher ex has this feature
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher&feature=search_result
ADW EX would be the first, every other launcher just kanged it.

Anyone else notice that when viewing the recent apps the screen takes a blue shade?
These screens are in the recents screen and the home screen.
Bug with 3rd party launcher. Don't even try to use split screen, you will have to restart launcher.

Huawei home ?
You can uninstall huawei Launcher (if you have another one) it solves the problem.

Looks like the latest update has fixed the blue shade in 3/4 times LOL but the split window is still a mess. I use Nova launcher anyone found one that works that is NOT the pre-installed home?
I use square home launcher and it works well.
I have the old multitask screen but, it's not a problem for me.
I've uninstalled huawei launcher.
