Help my phone shows stock android screen

I want the HTC screen back not this ugly screen. I also only have 3 slide screens now too.

Uhm... we are going to need a lot more information from you to be able to help.
What did you do before you got the stock android home screen?
Tell us the steps you did to create your issue. We are not psychic.

some screen popped up asking me about HOME and HTC Sence. I clicked Home because I thought it would take me to my home screen and I clicked it to do it by default, because this screen kept showing up for the last 2 days. I know it has something to do with the toddler lock I installed, because it was that program asking me. It happened because my daugter turned the phone off some how while it was still playing.

1. Press MENU button.
2. Press Settings.
3. Press Applications.
4. Press Manage Applications.
5. Wait for the OS to compute application usage.
6. Scroll down the list until you see HTC Sense and select it to go to the Application Info page.
7. Press the Clear Defaults button.
8. Press the HOME button. You should be prompted to select which app to compete the action with. Select HTC Sense and chose to make this the default action.
Hope this helps.

that didn't work but your instructions helped because the next step was to go select HOME instead and clear the defaults there. Maybe that's what you meant.

haha sorry... I'm clearly not awake yet. At any rate, glad you got it sorted!
Happy new year!

Miui tips and tricks

Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are
This was totally brought to you but http://www.maketecheasier.com
http://maketecheasier.com/17-hidden-tips-and-tricks-for-miui/2011/05/15
1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.

4. Slide from left to right to quickly delete a message or a call log.
In the SMS or Dialer app, swipe left or right any entry will bring up the Delete mode.
5. Move home screen icon easily
Hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
6. Launch Music Player in lockscreen
In the lockscreen, double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player. (The Music Player is hidden by default, unless a song is playing)

10. Search via voice recognition
Long press on the Search button will launch search via voice recognition.
11. Switch the Battery UI to show percentage
The default battery UI can be switched to display percentage of left battery capacity. To do so, go to “Settings -> System -> Battery Settings -> Battery Indicator Style -> Percentage“.
12. Long press on the Home button to show History
Like any other Android ROM, long press on the Home button will show the recently used apps. However, in MIUI, there is also an App Killer and App Manager button. Swiping the popup left will show the search form.
13. Setting up IP dialing
If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.
14. Send SMS for rejected calls
When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
15. Enable 720P to record a video
If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.
16. Quickly uninstall an app
To uninstall an app, simply press and hold the icon until the trash bin show up at the top of the screen. Move the icon to the trash bin to uninstall the app.
17. Quickly read SMS and mark it read
In the lockscreen, press down the SMS button (without dragging it down) to reveal the new incoming message on the lockscreen. Once you have finished reading it, double tap on the SMS button to mark it read.
The above is all the hidden tips and tricks I know about MIUI. What else have I left out?

[Q] Home Button

Are there any mods/apps for ICS that I can use to change the application launched instead of voice talk when I double clicked the home button?

Dont know if this what you wanted... but anyways:
There are two techniques:
1. From Homescreen> Settings > Applications > Go down to "double tap home lanch"> Choose to disable or pick another option of your choice.
So, its the same when it comes to : Settings | Motion | uncheck "Double Tap".
2. Suppose you are have Vlingo Voice service then go for this:
a goto Vlingo home screen (Voice talk screen)
b Press menu button
c Turn OFF Settings->Voice Talk Settings->Speak Prompts

This will do the trick for ya!! Install the app and you can set the double tap to open any app you like. I personally have it set to S voice from the GS3!

Since were talking home buttons, im looking for a mod to completely disable the doubletap, like in aosp roms so when pressing it it directly goes to the homescreen without any delay. been searching for a while and the only thing i could find was a way to modify the framework but my android skills are not good enough to get it done
If someone had this mod for LPY would you be so kind to share it plz.

Some Galaxy S6 (Edge) Features for our S5s :)

Hi guys,
So I was really hiped to see how amazing the S6 would be and got very dissapointed with it (no microsd, removable battery, 40% less features, not water resistant at least and much more **** things about it). But despite all the drawbacks, there are, of course, some good things about it too. So here're some features that you can get on your S5 with some simple apps and configurations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Edge Lighting (it actually works when phone is not on a flat surface)​
1. Download Edge Color Notifications.
2. Open it and select the blue options in the center top called "Select contact specific color". From there you're able to set different colors for each of your contacts. If you tap on the 3-dots at the top right and then on "PhoneCall options", you're gonna be able to change the default color for unknown calls, column width and animation type.
3. There are other extra settings as well, but you'll need to check them out by yourself as I only use the S6 Edge ones I mentioned above
4. Enjoy your Galaxy S5 Edge .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
S6 Camera Launch by double pressing the Home button whereever you are (except on lockscreen, but we have widget for that)​
1. Download a very old but very handy app from 2011 called Home2 Shortcut.
2. Open it and do everything as I tell you below -->
-where it says --Step1-- select the "Choose App" button and select your camera app.
-on step2 you can change the response and while they say to leave it at normal, mine is at "very very short" and it's actually better for me. Play with this a little.
-step3, select TouchWiz launcher.
-on step4 press the close button as it's written in the app and choose Home2 Shortcut as your default launcher and click "Always".
3. Now when you double press the Home button while your phone is unlocked the camera is gonna launch just like on the S6 (Edge).
Tip : You know how the Galaxy S6's camera is always in standby mode and ready, but doesn't show up in the recent apps list so you don't clear it by hitting clear all. Well I found a ...bug? maybe.. and am able to do the same on my S5. Follow below steps to try and get it working -->
*Whenever you restart or turn your phone on you need to launch the camera from the lockscreen shortcut and then press home button and unlock your phone.
*Now double press Home to launch camera and again press Home to go to your homescreen.
*Now when you double press Home again camera is gonna launch. But when you press Home to close it, it won't show up in the recent apps list.
*Sometimes it doesn't work from the 1st time so do the TIP steps a couple of times until you get it to work.
*Sometimes toggling HDR on/off "fixes" the bug and camera shows up in recents again. Repeat TIP steps to "bug" it again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
People Edge (works with no bugs whatsoever, even on lockscreen)​
1. Download Drupe.
2. When you open it it's gonna ask for notification read permissions, just grant it that and open app again (if it doesn't open by itself).
3. Inside the app there will be a quick tutorial to what everything does, check it out.
4. Now ,after the tut is gone, you're going to see some of your contacts listed on the screen. You can long hold a contact and remove it by dragging it to the bottom of the page where a little "x" will appear at the left side. Tap the "+' button to add more of your contacts to "Favourites" (starred).
5. On the bottom right there is a settings icon, click it and see below steps -->
-Default View - changes view when app is started. Can be "Favourites" or "Recents".
-Applications - tap to open menu. Hold on the 3-lines at the right and drag apps up or down. Apps which are more coloured will show up on the main screen, those below will not. You can assign E-Mail, FB, WhatsApp and so on to each of your contacts. All of those, one swipe away!
-Theme - changes colour of the transparent background of the app.
-Lock Screen - choose look on the lockscreen, "Dots" is the best, 'cause with the others if you tap on the lockscreen, app shortcut is gone. "Dots" doesn't go away, ever.
-Contacts Suggestion - this will add frequently called contacts which are not in your "Favourites" right under them.
-Vibration - guess what it does
-Email Signature - adds a "Sent via drupe" text under each email you sent using the app.
-Thumb Swipe - with this enabled, no need to swipe all the way to the app you wanna use. Just start swiping towards it and you'll see a highlighted line leading to the app which you can drag to other apps. Extremely useful when operating with just your thumb.
-Orientation - changes location of the contacts and apps. Can be left or right.
6. There's a "Search" bar on the main screen.
7. There's also a dialer on the main screen's bottom left side.
8. If you swipe right on the main screen, you'll see either "Favourites" or "Recents" (depending on which of the two you have set as your default screen when you open the app).
9. Long hold on the 3 dots, which when swiped, access the app, to place them anywhere on the screen by dragging them around.
10. Bare in mind that if you swipe to call from your lockscreen, you'll still need to unlock the phone for calling to take effect. This just saves you the trouble of going to the Phone app and calling from there.
PS : App may ask you for your email and fb account when you 1st start it. Just once though, once you're done it won't bother you anymore!

It must've changed with One UI 4.0. I'll update the steps.
Thank you for letting me know!

Step 6, I don't have 'Button action' as an option in the menu. Has it been removed?
Edit: It's back. For some reason the Routines+ app function was uninstalled.

Mine is missing too.
I've tried to download Routines+ app, but the option still not appear.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

Another option to download Routines+ is:
1. Open Galaxy Store
2. Look for and install "Good Lock" (author is "Good Lock Labs")
3. Open "Good Lock"
4. Scroll to the bottom and install "Routines+"

Is this really the only way? I uninstalled a bunch of Samsung bloat and I'm not looking to reinstall it to get Routines+ to work on my device now.

Great video and tutorial! On my Z Fold 4 I can remap long-press of my capacitive navigation buttons too! I'd like to know what other devices have this Routines+ "Button Action" option?
-S21 Ultra
-ZFold4
-Others?
