Probably in the wrong place, but since I can't post in the actual thread and searching yielded no results, I'll ask here:
Is the favorites menu available for the scs? The beta ROM works great, but effectively have no multitasking without it.
Now I did manage to get it to appear one completely by accident, but couldn't replicate the result. The sequence was: clock, close screen, open screen... And there it was. I have no idea how it appeared.
Will it be added in the future, our is it not possible due to the fact that the phone doesn't have that button?
Nvm I'm an idiot. Long press on home button brings up the favorites menu. Why didn't I try that before...

What version of CHT are you using??
That problem seems to not exist in 1.8.5.1
Q: My quick links (or any other home elements) are disappearing.
A: The appointment and task lists are made to hide anything that's behind them (for easy reading). If you have one of them too close to another home item it will disappear. Move them a bit further apart and everything will be OK.

Good catch , forgot all about that ....
I thought he might be referring to quicklinks not sticking, had that with one of the older versions of CHT, they would just seem to slide off the screen, and have slide to get them to come back ...
Ah yes...i remember those...i think that was a feature put in by co0kie so you could have a cleaner wallpaper i believe...
thanks guys, you would think after all this time id bother reading stuff :/
After installing VEGAn gingerbread on my brand new gTablet, when I press my gTablet home button I get the clock app, not the home screen. It also boots into the clock app, not the lock screen. Help!
I have seen other mentions of this in the xda forums, but no solution. Anyone have any help?
Thanks!
New information. I reset everything and started over. This time I installed another clock before rebooting the first time. Now, after I reboot and swipe the lock screen open, I am asked how to complete that action, using Clock or Alarm Clock Plus.
If I use the back arrow to get out of that, the Home button takes me to the Home screen for that session. If I reboot, then I get the "how to complete this, Clock/Alarm Clock Plus" option again the first time.
So, it seems that it wants to launch a clock. How do I stop it from wanting to launch the clock then?
Thank you!
This seems to be an existing problem, which has been discussed here, but I don't see a solution.
It is mentioned a bunch of times in this long thread for the release of VEGAn b5.1.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-884103.html
(search for "clock " (with a space after it))
In that thread, gojimi thought it might be related to a specific run of the devices, but there didn't seem to be a resolution.
Here are a couple other posts which mention this problem, but not a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1018754.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-963413.html
Others have reported it for Cyanogen. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I am also experiencing this problem on Bottle of Smoke and also had it on Vega-Tab gingerbread. Even pressing soft home button goes to clock.
Also I am pretty sure that in both cases it was fine after the loading the Rom and only started after rebooting for the first or second time.
Has anybody found a solution to this rather annoying problem?
Update :-
Also on Flashback v 4.0 through to current... Definitely only starts after 1st reboot after installing rom.
Is everyone experiencing this problem or is it only some units as rumoured?
Am facing same problem on Honeycomb on my gTablet. Not sure how to reset the default for home button!
It's really unusable after this starts as we have to press Back button several times to reach the screen where we can select the apps
I've seen this on just about every ROM I've used.. Gingerbread and Honeycomb. It's real annoying.. I had having to press back a bunch of times just to get back.. UGH.
Quick reply - I've posted this elsewhere in other threads, but the problem is actually a misfiring dock indicator pin. The G Tablet thinks its docked and initiates docked behavior, of showing the clock when the home button is pressed. The solution is an app called Dock Nothingness from the Market! Thought this might help some people.
I got similar problem and brought my Galaxy W to Samsung. They said that my phone got screwed up due to wet 'usb' connector. Cleaning those pins also removed the occational fail to charge problems.
Ok, I've had this thing for about 3 weeks. Upgraded it to Vegantab 7.1 Gingerbread.
I have downloaded a number of apps and the home screen is completely full. I tried a couple of apps that claim to let you create folders, but none of the actually work. The common thread is that they ask you to long press and empty spot on the home screen at some point and when I do that, nothing happens.
Is this some limitation of the hacked version of Gingerbread? Or is there some way to fix the issue?

Make sure you're long pressing on an unoccupied spot on the home screen. It might not work if your long pressing between two apps. Swipe to an empty home screen and try there. Good luck.
Thanks for your reply. I am definitely pressing in a completely open area.
I also cannot swipe--I assume you mean like changing pages on an iPhone. Didn't know that was possible on this thing.
When I long press the home button a semi circle comes up and Google is at the top, no other icons. Can I add different apps to this? I think I've been through every menu, I just got the phone yesterday and I am still working on it.
Thanks!

Short answer: not without modifying the firmware. There might be a custom firmware (or "xposed" module) that has this as a feature. (However, I'm not personally aware of anything on the HTC One M8 that does it.)
For future reference, single questions with shorter answers should be posted in the device's Q&A section, not the general section. (If it's an open question involving a lot of conversation, it might be okay in 'general.')
Take care

Hi,
Normally when we press home button of Samsung tab/phone it minimizes all the apps and takes us directly to home screen but for some reason when I press home button on galaxy tab s3 it opens google search and there is no way that I can minimize all apps at once.
can yo help me to change the function of home button.
Thank you.
Did you have any luck finding out how to stop the home button going to goggle assistant instead of home screen? I all of a sudden have the same issue and haven't found a solution on the web
It sounds like your home button might be sticking. Do you feel it snap back immediately after pushing it?
Hope you work it out.

There are several solutions in this thread that seem to have worked.
In order of the easiest:
1. A settings change, changing the delay for the google shortcut.
2. Remove battery (I know, not possible with the S3, but included for any phone users searching)
3. Clear cache
All of these fixes seem to have worked for various users who commented on a given fix. There are a lot of posts on that thread, many of them commenting on the fixes I've listed. I'd try one or more of these first, then read the rest of the thread if no joy.
