I have arranged the icons on my Samsung Galaxy S2 to my preference.
However, every time I turn on the phone (after turning it off) all the icons kept rearranging itself.
Can anyone please tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks
You have to clear data from touchwiz. Go to settings, manage applications, and funds touchwiz. Worked for me.

Hi, sorry for not getting back earlier.
Go to "settings", then press" applications". Then press the second button, "manage applications". Once in there, press the second button called "all", scroll down to "TwLauncher", and once in there, press "Clear data." You will have to setup your icons again, then it should work right. Mine was doing that, and that's what helped me.
Let us know how you go.

Have same issue, and it didnt work for me.
Update: Tried same again, and it seems to be working, cheers, but i think it will reset again later.
Anyway, it's better than nothing.
many thanks for the tips
will try it later
GoEx also allows you to save/backup your page/icon layouts. I've restored mine successfully after ensuring the app linked to a each icon was restored first.
Use AppZorter

From the start menu choose Settings, then Menu->All settings. Click on "Today". At the bottom of the screen choose "Items". Check that "HTC Sense" (and nothing else) is checked then press okay at the top right of the screen. Press your home button and see if the problem is fixed.
Good luck.

Alright so I just got a Samsung Fascinate through a trade here on XDA and everything seemed to be in working order...except for the actual software in the phone. For one, the home button doesn't take me home, it simply takes me to a blank screen. I can pull down the notification bar and everything...but I can't get home to actually access and apps or anything. The only way I can access anything is when I hold down the home button to get most recent apps.
I've tried multiple times to hard reset..battery pulls..everything. Someone please help me out. I contacted the previous owner of the phone and he said you just have to press the home button a little harder...that didn't work.
It obviously works because it takes me to a blank screen and allows me to access the most recent apps..but it won't actually take me home.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys
Considering the Hines button is capacitive, pushing harder does nothing.
Is the phone rooted or stock?
If stock, try to Odin fresh stock. If rooted, try a different rom
Try installing a different launcher such as Adw, launcher pro or zeam to see if the problem goes away.
Now it does have a crack, but I don't think thats the problem because when I press it it still takes me to a blank screen so it must work.
And he gave me those options..and said it was semi-rooted? Considering I just came fresh from a Moto Droid I really know nothing about the process. Is Odin like SBF? I just want to have the phone in its original state to see if I even like it first..

I would second this suggestion. Often, launchers can have individual settings for what the home button does (i.e., with Go Launcher EX, the home button can be set to take you to your home screen, and if already on your home screen, pressing the home button will open up a shortcut, app, preview homescreens, etc.). So, by installing another launcher, it my clear away whatever setting is on the phone you got (i.e., launching a blank screen). Another option would be to go into your Setting > Manage Applications, and find your default launcher. Open it, and then "Clear Defaults."
Alright I got it to work by restoring completely with odin and changing the home screen launcher.
Thanks guys! It's much appreciated
HI all
Yesterday I've installed MiniCM7 Pro latest version. It worked, but I've ran into a problem which I can't find the right setting for.
I've caused this problem myself. When I click on my home-button, a pop-up appeared on my screen asking which action it should take for the home-button. I had 2 choices: SE home screen, and menu-list.
I ticked the checkbox "always take this action" and selected the SE-option. It should've been the menu-list though. Whenever I quit an application with the home-button now, it goes directly to my home screen (which I find very annoying).
Where is the setting located to adjust this?

go to settings>applications>installed applications>all applications and tap on your SE Homescreen and then Clear defaults. this will solve your problem
Thank you so much, that did the trick indeed! Couldn't find it trough all these topics here on XDA.
Hello all,
First off, I would like to thank Albert Wertz on how to root the tablet. Followed the instructions and worked flawlessly. . I chose “Go Launcher ex” as my launcher which was also working great. Now, comes my noob screw up Every time I would hit the nook BN “Home” button, it would let me choose between the BN “Nook Home” and “Go Launcher ex”. Right below the BN (Nook Home) choice was a check box to make the decision permanent. With my fat finger I hit both the check box and BN “Home Button” and I no longer get to choose to go into “Go Launcher” I want my “Go Launcher” back!!! How can I do this?

NT Hidden Settings (in development) -> Application Settings -> Manage Applications -> Go Launcher -> Clear Defaults. You can swipe right to left on the notification bar to go backwards.
Alternatively, installing another launcher will clear the defaults.
Thank you so much for your reply!! I will try as soon as I get off of work. I would like to ask about the "NT Hidden Settings (in development)" Is that something I will have to turn on to see (hidden) or is it available by going to the development folder? Thank you again for your help!!

This is the main Android menu you would normally see on a stock device. You can get to it by either using the tgps launcher that you would use to first enable USB debugging, or you can use an app from the market called AnyCut, which will create a shortcut for you to the main settings menu for the device, or even the sub directories.

Click the "n"
touch "search"
type "tgps_launcher"
touch start
go to "manage apps" (or something like that, don't remember )
touch "all" at the top
scroll down to "home"
touch "home"
find the button that says "clear defaults" and touch it
Now click the "n" button. It will not let you choose which launcher to use again.
If this works for you, click my help button!

It is an app someone created here on XDA. You can find it in a thread in the development section of this forum.
Take a look at this link, working great for me to access hidden settings.

Does the nook need to be rooted in order to use Go launcher as the default launcher? I did not have the option to clear defaults for either home or go launcher when I tried this.
No it doesn't have to be rooted to use Go Launcher. I used it without a problem while i was unrooted and sideloading apps. I rooted in order to block OTAs and using Go Launcher is exactly the same in both cases.
How do I do this on an unrooted nook, clearing defaults is not working on mine.
This is what worked for me when I wasn't rooted:
If you can sideload apps, get Go Launcher EX from the Amazon Appstore. Once I installed Go Launcher I also installed Homecatcher (search for it here on these boards) to make my Go Launcher home screen my default home screen and bypass the stock nook home screen entirely (the program asks you during installation if you'd like to make Go launcher your default). Check the thread where you find the Homecatcher app for some tips from the guy who developed the app, but both apps are really easy to install and work really well rooted or unrooted. i don't know if any of this will help--good luck.
Thanks to ALL! I do appreciate all the replies! Everything worked great! Well, I guess I was only somewhat rooted..Nook just updated to 1.4.1.... :-( Now I cant get it to restore back to 1.4.0 via sd update. WOW I am the lucky one
Hello All,
I upgraded the GMail app on my One to the latest version and I noticed that there is no longer a 'Settings' button on the menu bar. On other phones (i.e Samsung S3 or S4) you could press the Menu soft button on the phone and click SETTINGS but the One doesn't have the soft key for Menu. I've attached an image of what I'm referring to. I know this it the old version, but just used it for reference.
Any idea how to get to Settings in the Gmail app now?

Yup. I'm having this dilemma too. Either I am stupid, of a very stupid design by google.

So turns out this isn't really Google's fault, it's HTC's. Somehow HTC decided to design this wonderful phone but not include a Menu button. I don't know how this got by designers and approved by HTC but it's a negative for The One, IMO. Don't get me wrong I love the phone, but this is plain silly.
So, in order to get your 'Settings' back (and any other 'menu' function) in the gmail app, you need to install a ROM that has an option to modify one of the soft keys to for 'Long Press = Menu". I personally am using CleanRom. This let's me use a long press on the 'Home' button to activate the Menu options. This will work with any other app on the phone also.
Here's another thread on a work around:
