Help: Home button!! - Galaxy 3 General

The home button of my Galaxy I5800 doesn't works good anymore.
if I press the home button --> the phone is refressing my screen.
Normally you go to your home screen, or select your launcher.
if I hold the home button --> do nothing.
Normally you see a screen with 6 last used apps.
are there options by install to give options on your home button??

it depends upon ur launcher
if ur using 2.2 then goto running apps and search for ur current launcher(stock is touchwiz) and select clear cache and data after force stopping

Change Default Home Screen

How do you change the default home screen? Like when I press the home button it will use that instead? Cause im trying out the ADW Launcher but its not in the applications lists so I cant open it.
When using a program try holding the home button, this should pop up with a menu that says "complete action with" and show Home or ADW. Or something like that, I know Ive seen that menu before.
Yea, it used to show the menu. But then I set the Home as default action so if I press home it will bring me to the home i dont want and if I hold it, it shows a box with recently opened apps

Holding the home button is the action for bringing the recent app list. *FAIL*

Go into application settings and clear the defaults for Home.
Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications
Scroll down do the Home application (cant remember if its called home or what, deleted my Launcher.apk ages ago after getting root). Once you have cleared the defaults. A press on the home button will show you options to select your home screen, this will include ADW, Home and TimeScape, select ADW and check "Set as default".

[SOLVED] Home button functionality lost.

It seems that I have lost my "home" button functionality in stock 2.1. I installed ADWLauncher and it was working ok,then I installed Multitasking Lite and something changed. I think it has something to do with setting the default app for home button. How can I change or restore to the default?
Sent from my rooted 2.1 + 2.2 AOSP! Go go devs!!
do this:
Settings > Applications > Manage Apllications > ADWLauncher then press clear defaults
Yes, I've done that. Also in Multitasking Lite, after reset it asked me for the default Home and I set it to ADW, but still no home button working.
As I have also noticed, I don't have lock screen! If I press the power button the screen goes off, but then when any button is pressed the screen powers on again in the home without the unlock.
I finally got it solved. I applied the 2.2 AOSP solution described here.
I don't know why there weren't any of that values in my stock 2.1, maybe one of those apps or TB messed it up.

[Q] Home button doesn't run launcher any more :/

Hi all,
My phone rebooted and I lost all custom settings (like text size, custom ringtone etc.), while retaining other apps data. This was simple to repair
Problem is, since then my "Home" button doesn't execute launcher anymore. If I long-press, it shows tasks list, so the button is working, but short press does.. nothing.
I installed Home2 Shortcut - doesn't work either.
Cleared TouchWiz settings - no change
Cleared "Application preferences" - no change
Installed Nova Launcher - works fine, but won't return to home screen on "Home" press.
I guess some simple setting got corrupted, but I've no idea where to look for that. I'd rather not reflash the phone just because of this one button, but it's quite nice to be able to go to Home screen
Any advice?
Try this:
1. Long-press home button and select the "cheese"
2. Go to the last tab called "Clear default Settings"
3. You will have there something called: TouchWiz Home. Clear it.
4. Go back to the start screen and long-press home button again.

Thanks for suggestion, but I already tried that. Home button still doesn't react to short press.
Actually, it does react to short press - when I want to wake up the phone. But it doesn't run launcher.
I have exactly the same problem. Button physically works fine will click to show lock screen when off , double press for s voice ( when on ) and hold for task manager. it just wont single press to actually go home..grrrrrrrr

Yeah, I figure a reset/reflash will do, but it's another couple hours (which I don't have ) to restore everything after that
I got the same problem
I was planning to upgrade firmware anyway though

How to make Double home button trun off screen

Hello
I'm using xtrestolight rom beta 4 lollipop
Any mod to make double home button turn of screen??
Thx
Any help ?
There is something better. Holding your home button will turn it off. Download an app from playstore called "Screen Off and Lock".
P.S: go to setting > Default application > Clear the home button apps. E.G you had it for opening Google search, clear it. Then hold the home button, choose screen off, press always, and done, enjoy.
