Hi, I am trying to get a shortcut to the Home Button function on my dock. (My Physical home button is starting to detiriorate.
So I want a shortcut or something that has the same function as the physical home button, anybody know how I can do that?

Is this possible at all? Or already done, maybe? would it be an app that could possibly run and replace this action or does it require a rom modification to do it?
I'd prefer specific apps to always be in my home long-press popup than just the most recent ones (ex: mail, web browser, twitter, facebook etc the ones that i am typically trying to get to )
Any thoughts?
I wouldn't mind having menu long press go to the dialer app so we can have a dedicated dialer button we can use when we have other apps open. Long pressing the menu button brings up the quick search bar which we already have a button for.

long pressing the menu button brings up the keyboard ... not the search...
Long press of menu brings up search on the vibrant, try it. (i read another thread that this isn't the same on other devices)
I assume that given that Vlingo can take over the long press of the search and home replacements can take over the long press of home, an app could be written to take over the long press of home to change its action as well?
I'm not a programer so I wouldn't have a clue of how to write an app that replaces that home/recent apps pop up to allow your own choice of shortcuts
Oh yeah, I guess I was wrong... I have to many devices to keep track of the differences...

I *kind-of* got what I wanted via the app "App Launcher" (link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.talondesigns.quicklaunch - $1.99)
It looks identical to the popup that you get with a long press of the home button - you can select the shortcuts you want to be in it, BUT it is a long press of the search key instead. Functionally, it is what I want, but I'd prefer to take over the home button action rather than using the search button, as I had that one assigned to Vlingo.
Hey guys,
Has anyone been successful in finding a decent task switcher to use with CM7 and the touchpad since the home button and search buttons are emulated? I've tried using itching thumb and some others, but most don't seem to work, especially the long-press search button option in most of 'em.
home button is not emulated. just hold the touchpads home button down for a bit and a multitasking pane where you can switch between background apps will pop up.
Try Task Changer: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8489-new-version-of-task-changer-now-with-back-option/
It's on the Market. You can just hold down the hardware home key though.
Wave launcher works great

I use the S Pen a lot. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate the back, home and settings button into my launcher (ADW)
The same way ICS does it basically to eliminate the need for the Capcative buttons.
Does anyone know of an app or way to put those shortcuts on your home screen? Its really annoying when using the S Pen to have to always go back to those buttons.

You know you can use the s pen right?
Press pen button while swiping back to go back
Press button up and swipe up to open menu
Press button and swipe down to go home
Samsung has all these tips in the phone
Menu.settings.spen
There is also a s pen tips app in the market...and lots of cool stuff on the facebook page.
If that doesnt work out for you there are a few apps on the maeket for "soft buttons"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use the S-Pen for going back, home, and menu. Hold the button and drag left for back, Button+down for home and button+up for menu.
Is there any way to get Widgetlocker to unlock to the recent open app instead of the homescreen when using Home button to unlock?
Using the slider is gives that effect but I want the Home button unlock to do that too.
Tried HomeHelper but it doesn't allow that.
Or is the only way to remap the Home button from "HOME" to "UNLOCK" or something?
Thanks.
No one knows the answer?
Or is it not possible?
If you slide up from the home button there is a shortcut for google-now. Does anyone know if one can edit the shortcut?
I here this talk about launchers, how do you activate it? I'm talking the stock one that comes with the device
