I just picked up a 10.1 tab. It is rooted with recovery and the Overcome 10.1 1.2.1 rom on it. Everything is pretty awesome but I have a couple of questions due to my newness to HC.
I currently have one home screen. If I am on the home screen and I press home it shows my home screen on top of the home screen with a dark, see through, background. Looks pretty silly. What is the purpose of this?
If I long press the icon to the right, that normally brings up running apps on the left, I also get the stupid home screen laid over top of my home screen. Again, what is the purpose.
I got a lot to learn, thanks!

By default, when you press the home button while already on your homescreen, it gives you a preview of all your screens. You only have one screen though so its showing you a translucent preview of your only screen. Press the home button again and it should go away.
The button to the right only needs to be pressed, not long pressed, to bring those up.
FYI, if you long press the home button, it's a built in task killer.

Lol, that makes perfect sense. I would get the multiple screen previews on my thunderbolt too. Only having one screen was throwing me off.
The button on my right looks like a square on a square appears to bring up a list of running apps with previews on the left side of my screen. Like a task manager to switch running tasks. Long pressing that button doesn't bring up the running tasks but the home screen previews. I'll double check that in a few.

The Square on Square is Recent Apps (like your thunderbolt would bring up if you longpress the Home button).
Long pressing the Home button on this Tablet brings up a Task Killer app (which does show your running apps and gives you the ability to end them)
...You can also access this Task Killer program, as well as some others by pressing the bottom middle button (Most ROMs, including the Stock ROM, have this button set as a ^ symbol)
NOTE: There is NO WAY to change the programs that come up when pressing this bottom middle button, they're built into the system in some way that we can't access.
Prior to running ViperDNA I could have swore that when I long pressed the home button I was able to add or remove home screens (I know I could at least remove them). I like to use one home screen on my phone and put shortcuts in folders instead of using multiple screens.
Since going to Viper I had changed my home button long press to screenshot and I am not sure how to eliminate my home screens now. Is there a long press option or another way all together that I am missing to get to where I can eliminate my additional home screens?
If I tap my home button from my home screen I am able to delete by long pressing on a screen I want to remove

Yup that worked. I feel like a big dummy. All of these options in Viper I guess I assumed it was a long press.
Hello so I've noticed sometimes when I'm in an app, say chrome, or a game and I press the home button it always takes a few seconds for the press to register and go back home. Is there a way to get rid of the home button lag?

this is because of the double tap home button to open the camera, at least most likely, it means the phone waits a moment to check for the 2nd press of the home button before treating it like a single home button press.
This can be disabled by going into the camera, then camera settings, then turn off "quick launch"
Hello...
I do not remember what I did.
Now if I hit the home button instead accessing to the home, Google Now opens.
I do not know how to reset the home key to original function.
Help please
My Home screen style is: Drawer
System navigation key combination is: 3rd from the list
So, when I press the round HOME button it takes me to the Page 2 right away rather than to Page 1 ... Why so?
I must have changed something somewhere ... Goggle Play Service perhaps?
Under Apps, I did Reset app preferences and Show system processes but it didn't bring back the correct Home button function!
Any help please?
Thanks
