I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?

I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause

The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

I've just moved to stock XXJVR and am a Launcher Pro user.
I have selected Launcher Pro as the default action for the Home button which works fine until I long press Home to bring up the Recent dialog. After the Recent dialog has been shown the next time I press the Home button I am again prompted as to which launcher I want to use.
I have checked the "Launch by default" settings for Launcher pro and it is initially registered and is cleared after the long press of home.
This seems to be a new bug with JVR that wasn't an issue on JVQ. Interestingly I have seen this issue also on the Galaxy S ii so it is perhaps a new Samsung 'feature'.
Does anyone have any decent workaround for this other than doing an uninstall of TwLauncher?
Thanks!
I'm on JVR too running launcher pro and I do not have this problem so it's definitely not ROM related. I did have the same issue though in the past, it vanished by itself moving on to new updates and firmwares.

Nope, no problem here. Using stock JVR and Go-Launcher EX
I'm having this same problem, very frustrating!
Bug was present on JVS (Simplicity ROM and Stock) and also most recently it is still present in JVT (Stock).
Not THAT big of a deal, just really annoying! BTW it happens with any launcher I try, launcher pro, go launcher ex, etc.
Any solution is greatly appreciated!
Glad to hear itis not just me.
I ended up uninstalling the twlauncher application using titanium backup. This hasn't caused any problems since.
Nice one, didnt want to do it previously, but it solved the problem! Never used TW before anyway. Thanks.
Can't stand that annoying Voice Command app that pops up whenever you accidently double-tap the home button? Well, apparently it can be removed if you have ICS, though not the typical way.
Thanks goes out to Marrr over at AF for pointing this out.
Step 1: Install Go Launcher
Step 2: Long-press voice command in the app drawer, and when the red "x" comes up, hit it. Follow the prompt and the app will be completely uninstalled.
Step 3: Uninstall Go Launcher if you want (and delete the Go Launcher/Store folders it created in your USB storage).
It really is THAT simple!
Or just don't double tap the Home button
In a year of owning a Galaxy SII I can't say I've every double tapped the Home button by mistake

It's weird, but lately, occasionally when I hit the home button the app would just launch. It's like the device was registering a double-tap. Not sure if it was me, or a hardware issue. Either way, it was annoying and I've seen a few others complain about the same issue.
If you're not affected, then you're set. But if you are, this seems to work wonders.

I agree, I never experienced the issue and laugh when I see people complain.
I know multiple people with the S2 and none of them experience.
I admit, maybe it may be hardware; but I would think if it was hardware it would be on a larger scale. I personally think people don't realise they double tapped it.

And I laugh when I see someone who assumes that because their phone works perfectly, everyone else must have a perfect phone too.
Does this remove the double tap delay though? Always drove me mad about gs2, and I've always got rid of it as soon as I can

I agree....it is annoying. It comes up all the time when I don't want to. Anyone know the name that is appears in Titanium Backup so I can remove it?
Voice command. Just filter for "vlingo"
i have a hardware problem, when i press home button, like 30% of time the voice command will appear, but i dont want to uninstall the app, there is any other way for disabling it?

Boys install system app remover, no need for root, and uninst apps u don't need. Quicker, safer, legal ,
i had the same issue (about 30% of erroneous voice command starts). i had frozen
the app with Titanium Backup and since then had about 30% of keypress failures.
Is there a program that shows if there was a keypress or not?
Thanks for a nice tip, that voice is useless in Russia anyway.
BTW, I also can unistall readers hub in that way, why it allows me to unistall it, but I cant unistall music hub, they're seems to be both system apps.
ES File Explorer can also uninstall it.
Select the App Manager then long press on the app you want to remove, eg Voice Commamd, choose uninstall, and its gone.

I don't have the problem because I fixed it.
Search for root app uninstaller, install it, and find voice talk, or viingo as it is called, and uninstall the app, so uninstall root app installer so you can't launch it by a mistake and double tap and see what's happening, now nothing happens when I double tap home button, so it's fixed.
I hope I can help other people.
Its the most frustrating app ever even more frustrating than Touchwiz. Its like whenever I press the home button around 80% of chances are that it would pop up with that annoying voice,"What would you like to do ?"
And I'm like GTFO off my device. Finally removed it using Root Explorer forever after...

Thank you very much. Just to say so I went through that buttcracking process of making like my millionth forum account, but that one was worth it. Thx a bunch, I really have a device where pressing home leads you to the voice crap in 99,456%. Now its finally fallen off board. Thx again.
removing voice command easier
you don't have to change a theme or anything like that. you should download "Smart App Protector Free" and and in the apps section inside the app scroll down until you get to "voice command". click on it and choose uninstall. that easy
You can also use system app uninstaller from the market, just go into regular apps and remove voice command.

This is an outdated thread. You can now disable the app.
So i was annoyed by mymagazine being only 1 swipe away and being accessed by the double tapping home button. So i turned off the home button setting and then then turned off my magazine. it wasnt an issue but i ended up just rooting my phone and then uninstalled all the bloat apps....including mymagazine.
Now when ever i double tap the home button my TouchWiz crashes. however, if i swipe up, it just goes to the play store and says item cannot be found.
i really hope that we get some way to swap out the my magazine for google now or something useful. anyone know a work around that doesnt involve a different launcher??
SAME HERE

I am having the same issue - hitting home button when on my homescreen causes TouchWiz to crash. Did you ever figure anything out?
If you uninstall my magazine or freeze it, tw will fc. It's tied I to the framework of touchwiz, either use a different launcher or reinstall/unfreeze my magazine

This might be a dumb question but If i use a different launcher other than TouchWiz will the s pen functions still work? Also, playstore doesn't have MyMagazine. Do i just need to install the apk if i want to keep using touchwiz? (very new to root)
thanks
Yup will still work - you'll probably find the mymagazine.apk around somewhere

still stuck :\
When i try to install MagazineHome.apk i keep getting "Application not installed".
If i try to install it with Rom Toolbox APK installer it just says installing then goes away as if nothing happened.
I was reading on a few other threads but am quite confused. What is this term Push(ed) being thrown around.

You can push/side load via adb or cut n paste it into system apps and set correct permissions - not done it since I had my HTC one so not sure if it is different on the Note, just grab Nova launcher can customise as much as you want and have no fc and no mymagazine

OK I did a quick search and it's possible I missed it, but I'm having an issue that's really irritating. Some of my applications, XDA premium for example, I have to press the home button a second time to return home. At first I thought it was me going crazy. I tend to always hit home before hitting power to off the screen. When I'd pull my phone out of my pocket, it would still be in an app when I knew I should have been at my home screen.
I've tested it and I can reproduce it every singalong time. Is this working as intended, maybe a setting I've missed? Is it a TouchWiz issue on 6.0? I'm coming from a note 5 and I've owned every Samsung device so it's either a bug or an annoying feature of the newest software.

Well I created this post now it won't do it at all! Another XDA fix!
Meant to edit not reply to myself!
You should try and reset your phone...
Sounds like some sort of bug. I can't replicate the issue.
I know there are some apps where you have to press the "back" button twice to exit but I've never had to press the "home" button twice.
Ok, so this is a post simply meant to help anyone else who may discover this problem. If you are having the issue, you most likely have the Samsung Good Lock installed. UPDATE IT! Apparently, it was an issue within the app that cause the Home Button bug within the Recent Apps menu and/or any app you returned to via the menu.
I only wish i had paid attention and updated the app before doing a restore. Thats when i noticed that the "home button bug" was fixed in a recent update. O well, you live and you learn.
