Hello,
I'm running Task's ROM and I would like to know if there is a way to create a shortcut to the menu that comes up instead of pressing the power button?
Not sure if Button Saviors "Power Button" brings up the menu, but you can give it a try.
Didn't work. The app appears to not work on the tablet.
Try using a replacement Launcher like ADW EX Launcher. I believe you can create short cuts for actions such as the power menu. If you need help with ADW Launcher there is a detailed thread in the apps and Themes section.
I dont see how to create a shortcut to the menu using ADW EX Launcher.
I use "Screen off fx"

This doesn't turn off the phone, just the screen

So I don't have enough posts to post this problem in the 1.7 thread so I'm hoping I can get help with the likely easy answer here. I installed 1.7 and selected my desktop theme and I held down the "more apps" button too long and now it is gone and I can't get to the rest of my apps. How can I get it back?
which launcher are you using? if you are using Zeam, you can swipe your finger down the screen and it will open up the apps. check the middle capacitive button, and see if any options come up for preferences or settings... if so, go to settings/applications and reset your launcher app.
You can also tap & hold on the screen, then add an item/widget, add the market widget... you can then go into the market, download a different launcher. once it is installed, hit the home key, and it will ask you what launcher you wish to use.
I use Zeam. It's quite handy, and has the option to replace that button you lost. you would have to install zeam, then press and hold on the main screen, choose add an item, add an action, and you will see the option for the "open applications" button you lost.
kind of a round and about way to get it done, but I bet you won't do it again, right?
Good luck!
Hello All,
First let me start by staying thanks to the individuals responsible for rooting this device. I'm really enjoying this tablet.
Now on to the topic:
The n button originally pulls up the Barnes & Noble bar when clicked. Now what I found out is that when installing a launcher like Go Ex and hiding the status bar in the settings of Go Ex, the n button now disables the B&N bar on single click and pulls up your default HOME on double click.
Please check and post what you concluded.
I dont see that option in the settings. Which section is it under?

Didnt work for me...i have home switcher thought
Rooted, with Zeam launcher and Button Savior installed.
The "n" button brings up the B&N bar, and the Button Savior home soft button brings up Zeam. Loving it!

It's under preferences in go launcher, not the actual settings.
Its under the Go launcher Prefrences, then Screen settings. I noticed it only works lets say when you open the app drawer, then by hitting the n key twice it takes you to your default home. But when you are using an app the n key seems to open up B&N bar still.
Now what I think is by disabling or hiding the status bar completely it will reconfigure then n key to use for home. If someone can write a simple app or hack that hides the status bar completely then it would always work I think.
Anyone?
I also use button savior with other launchers.
The "recent apps" button is a great addition to the UI, but I'd also like to have a dedicated button on the button bar for opening the app drawer.
To those of you more versed in UI-fu than I am: what would be the best way for me to add an app-drawer button to the button bar, eg. right next to the "recent apps" button, so as to facilitate direct access to the app drawer from any app?
Thanks
Use Nova Launcher and map the home button alternate mode to open the app drawer. So in effect, one press on home will send you to your home screen and the second press will put you in your app drawer.

This. Other than that, its not possible unless the rom itself is edited to do it, which again, isn't possible, because different homescreens have different app drawers.

You wouldn't happen to know of any SystemUI mods that fit the bill I suppose...
Just searched through the forums and didn't see an answer to this elsewhere although I'm sure its there. Just got my s4 (mk2 firmware) and using nova launcher. I have nova setup so that the home button always just goes to the default home screen, no alternative action. If i'm on that screen and press the home button again my app drawer comes up though. Default phone feature or something I can change?
Thanks,
Eric
Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the action of pressing the physical home key when on the home screen? Currently it goes to google now, but I would like to configure it to go to app drawer since I already have google mapped to double tap and google assistant mapped to hold.
I'm on XenonHD 7.1 and open to any suggestions!
Cheers
A lot of launchers like Nova let you decide what pressing the home button will do while on the homescreen. By default for most it's the "edit" screen where you can add pages and change your wallpaper and whatnot.

You can also remake the Pixel launcher in it as well now.
I'm using Nova already! completely missed that option! thank you!
