Facebook Home - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently installed Facebook home on my S4, and it seemed pretty cool.
One thing I want to ask are the privacy concerns. I unchecked the option to use Home as a home screen and app launcher.
I did put Use Home as a lock screen.
How much Data can they collect from me if I do that? If I use Touchwiz to launch all my apps instead of using FB home to do it.

Here is a good question. With a home replacement, do my normal widgets run under it?

Ok, see here is an idea/question I had, and I don't see asked elsewhere...
So, lets say that on my normal stock home screen, I have a weather widget running the main screen, then a clock on the 1st screen, and 2-3 widgets on the 3rd.
Now, how about I install a home replacement like Home++. On THIS home screen, I put a clock on screen 2, network widget on screen 3, and a few widgets on screen 1...
When I am using Home++ and have these widgets running, are they the only ones taking up memory/battery/etc, or are the widgets from the stock home screen running as well.
In other words, when Home++ is running, does it shut down the stock home and all it's widgets/apps, or is Home++ an overlay, and the other ones are still running?
Thanks
well if you dont want the widget running on the stock home,just clear defaults and force stop on the setting>application info
I've heard different answers on this. I've heard that the widgets on stock home do not run with a home replacement, but I've heard a few people say that the home replacement ran faster after nixing the widgets. Try it out yourself and see!

Apps installation on another home screen.

Hey All,
I have Nova Launcher installed on my Nexus 10 (4.2.2) and I've just got my home screen looking the way I want it with a few widgets, I like informational widgets on my center screen (weather, clock, email etc) social stuff (facebook etc) on my left screen and my apps on the right screens. However when I install an app it always ends up on the center screen, and I have to move it every time. Does anybody know how I can make app shortcuts appear on the screen to the right?
I know it's a small annoyance, but it does drive my crazy
I also use Nova Launcher and the same thing happens. I suspect that this is more of a "feature" than a bug as you always know where a newly installed app icon will be (centre screen). I have a few screens where I could easily loose a new app behind a widget that covers a large part of the screen such as a weather widget.

[Q] Getting Easy Home after back button use?

Hi,
Using Nova Prime. I'm noticing the phone going to the cartoonish Samsung Easy Home a lot when I back out of certain apps or widgets.
Example - insert a Gmail 3x3 widget. Tap a message (which loads the Gmail app). Now try to back button out to your home screen. You get Samsung Easy Home and not your actual default launcher. This happens even with the stock TouchWiz Home as default too.
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using Nova Prime also and that has never happened to me.
Have had the same thing happen even though easy home is turned off in settings. With Stock launcher

home up for Good lock

New app for samsung Good Lock
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...lease/home-up-1-0-00-19-android-apk-download/
The only way to use it is through quick Shortcut maker
A nice add to the family
Update : nicelock update include Home up , fine lock not yet
I wrote an email to the developer of FineLock a few hours ago and he was very very quick to respond and incorporate Home UP into the application. Also there's no need for an app update through the play store as it was a server side update. If you don't see Home UP clear cache of FineLock, remove app from recents screen and open it TWICE (open, close, swipe, open).
It's a nice addition as i love the background blur adjuster option in the app drawer and the folder name suggestions.
i just updated from android 10 till 11. installed home up.
when entering home up then task changer. slim list view is missing. how can i get it back guys?
