Thanks for the info on this.
Sorry for applying now, but was busy with the phone, I see that some icons I can remove, but others not, I have factory reset my phone.
I am opening a new post that I need help with.

Does anyone know how to launch the Home Long Press via a shortcut?
Such as the direct "Activity" or "Intent"?
Or even a "Launcher Pro Shortcut"?
I belive the home long press is inaccesible to regular apps.
It's a system function.

Right. Open the Recent Apps list via a shorcut (ie without long pressing the Home button).

Hmm, it's a start
The latest ADW launcher lets you crate a 'custom shortcut'. Not only to customize the icon, but it lets you pick from all callable activities it sees. Even specific activities inside an apk. Try looking through those to see if the recent activities activity is there.

What about for LauncherPro?
You can try Visual Task Switcher from the market. There is a free ad supported and paid ad-free version. You can set that app on your homescreen and when you click it it comes up on your screen with your opened apps... and if you have more than 9 opened you can scroll to the side to see more. It's not perfect, but I think if the dev keeps working on it, it's a great option.

Way ahead of you Tried it, but didn't like it. (link)
I there a way to remove or change email button on the bottom row of the Captivate. My phone is stock at the moment. If this question has been answered can you point me to the link? I did a search but could not find the answer. Will I need to root my phone?
I only use Gmail and am using the Gmail app that came with the phone.

Haven't been stock in a long time so giving this to you from memory. Go to your app drawer and hit your menu key (bottom row far left) and you should have an option to edit. In edit mode you can make changes to what is shown on your dock by dragging and dropping icons.
Edit: no root needed
What is the "app drawer"? The only option I see is to move home screens around if I hit edit from the home screen. I want to change the email button on the bottom of the phone.
Thanks!

The application page.
Sent from a phone somewhere in the universe
The only option I have on the app page is, "View Type". Is there a way to change to email button to the Gmail app button?

hit the icon on the far left which should be labeled applications if I remember correctly. Square with lines through it or something like that and when you press it all the applications installed on your phone will come up.
Thanks! That worked!

Now I remember. When you get the "view type" option hit "customizable grid" then hit your menu key and you will see the option to edit.

Bum. I need it to get to my launcher settings.
I don't have my N6 until tomorrow, but if it's anything like the note 4 you just long press the recents button. Like I said though.. Don't have the phone or Lollipop yet (coming from note 2).

There aren't any in the stock Google Now Launcher but you can get into them via Settings>Home and then press on the option of the 3rd party launcher (assuming you're using one)
Normally launchers have a shortcut built into them for the menu button. For example in nova long press on wallpaper and choose settings.
Red Magic 3 new user here, accidentally removed an icon from the home screen, so how to put it back there? (Also for the other installed apps I see in the Settings but not shown on the Home Screen)...
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance!
Are you serious, bro? This is basic Android. You press and hold down on the icon, then move it up to where you want. Same as removing from the home screen.

Seriously, it doesn't work on Red Magic 3, I can't find the App Drawer. I can't find the installed app icons other than in the Settings (Apps & Notifications), and you can't drag it to the Home Screen.
And when you click & hold the Home Screen, it only shows option for "Home Settings", "Widgets", and "Wallpapers".
