Prior to running ViperDNA I could have swore that when I long pressed the home button I was able to add or remove home screens (I know I could at least remove them). I like to use one home screen on my phone and put shortcuts in folders instead of using multiple screens.
Since going to Viper I had changed my home button long press to screenshot and I am not sure how to eliminate my home screens now. Is there a long press option or another way all together that I am missing to get to where I can eliminate my additional home screens?
If I tap my home button from my home screen I am able to delete by long pressing on a screen I want to remove

Yup that worked. I feel like a big dummy. All of these options in Viper I guess I assumed it was a long press.

Hi. I'm using Cookies Home Tab and I like it a lot, there is only one thing I don't like about it. For example if I'm in quick links below the home screen and go to the start menu then hit the home button it takes me to quick links instead of home screen. is there a way to force Cookies Home Tab not remember the last position it was in? I preffer going to home screen any time i press home button.
any chance to fix it?

Press the back button.
nothing happens when I press the back button.
does it work with back button on your device?
I just picked up a 10.1 tab. It is rooted with recovery and the Overcome 10.1 1.2.1 rom on it. Everything is pretty awesome but I have a couple of questions due to my newness to HC.
I currently have one home screen. If I am on the home screen and I press home it shows my home screen on top of the home screen with a dark, see through, background. Looks pretty silly. What is the purpose of this?
If I long press the icon to the right, that normally brings up running apps on the left, I also get the stupid home screen laid over top of my home screen. Again, what is the purpose.
I got a lot to learn, thanks!

By default, when you press the home button while already on your homescreen, it gives you a preview of all your screens. You only have one screen though so its showing you a translucent preview of your only screen. Press the home button again and it should go away.
The button to the right only needs to be pressed, not long pressed, to bring those up.
FYI, if you long press the home button, it's a built in task killer.

Lol, that makes perfect sense. I would get the multiple screen previews on my thunderbolt too. Only having one screen was throwing me off.
The button on my right looks like a square on a square appears to bring up a list of running apps with previews on the left side of my screen. Like a task manager to switch running tasks. Long pressing that button doesn't bring up the running tasks but the home screen previews. I'll double check that in a few.

The Square on Square is Recent Apps (like your thunderbolt would bring up if you longpress the Home button).
Long pressing the Home button on this Tablet brings up a Task Killer app (which does show your running apps and gives you the ability to end them)
...You can also access this Task Killer program, as well as some others by pressing the bottom middle button (Most ROMs, including the Stock ROM, have this button set as a ^ symbol)
NOTE: There is NO WAY to change the programs that come up when pressing this bottom middle button, they're built into the system in some way that we can't access.
Sorry if this has been asked, search functions seems to be down at the moment, but I just got my Sprint S3 on Tuesday and noticed that when you press the home button while on the home screen it shows the screen previews, normal.
Now ever since yesterday when I press the home key it just goes to the home screen but does not do the screen preview. Is there something that I turned off by accident or is my phone acting up, its not really a big deal to me but I just want to make sure my phone is not defective. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance.
There's three functions for the home button so far as I know.
1) Single press, takes you back to your launcher's main screen.
2) Single press with hold, takes you to the task manager that shows you what's currently running along with previews of the apps.
3) Double press, takes you to S Voice.
I'm guessing that you are looking for number 2.

Thats really weird because like I said when I first got the phone and was on the home screen and pressed the button again it did the screen previews but now it only does what you listed. I wonder if anyone else had this happen, oh well thanks for the response.
I'm trying to figure out a way or find a launcher or some method to get my home panels to appear so I can easily select them rather than have to scroll left or right. This might be an ICS related thing. I recall being able to hold the home button and it would do this and now when I hold the home button it shows recently closed apps. Any suggestions on how I can get that feature back? Thanks
With Apex Launcher, when on the primary Homescreen clicking the Home button again will show the available screens for selection.
Home Panels???

My mistake with the title of "home panel." I should have titled it "how to view multiple panels on one screen?" or something like that. I will try what SCClockDr suggested. Hopefully it works. I was afraid the most recent apps feature related to ICS prevented viewing all the panels simultaneously.
Thanks again
I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
