Proberly a dumb question but is there a setting that will make my gs3s home button always send me to my FIRST home screen? Pressing home button from some apps or tasks sends me to the home screen I was previously on being sometimes my 2nd or 3rd home screen...... But I want the first one to show up!!!
press it again.
Yeah I know but I mean directly first time.... Any ideas?

If you're using touchwiz it sends you to your default home screen. If you're using a replacement launcher, just change your default home screen
U can install other Launchers like Apex Launcher.
Find it on Google Play.
Nope doesn't always send me to my default depending on what home screen i was on. I tried go launcher but does the same problem! I guess I'll just have to press home twice if there's no specific setting

thanks !!
Is there anyway I can remove the thing when I press the home button the preview of my pages show? Just don't like it and it lags. Thankss.
Go into settings, where it asks what pressing home actions are, something like that, select do nothing. It is not the one that brings you to home screen, just what hitting home does when you are already there.

Of course I checked that already. Miui does not have that option
I was wondering if there was a way to use the home button as an app drawer? For example pressing the home button on the home screen would function as a app drawer instead of having to press an on-screen button to do so.

Possible with other launchers available from the play store.
Oh thanks, is there possibly a way to make that work using touch wiz launcher? I prefer the whole touchwiz look and feel, but for now I'll try some other launchers :cyclops:
Is there a way with android that I can switch the behavior of my menu button on my home screen? right now when I short press it the menu will come up, when I long press it will go to search. It'd like it to go to search when I short press, is this possible?

I dont think so.
But its possible the other way around.
But then again, why would you want to replace the menu button function?
Its like the home button on an iOS Device

You can Edit system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl to change the key behaviour.

Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press

Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
