Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys

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

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.
Help

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.
Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks
swipe left or right on the dock

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it
This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?
Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

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
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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

Hi, im running xnote v8 and was wondering, if there is anything available wether as an add on, wanam module or root app or an in rom tweak that can shorten the delay between when holding the home button to bring up the recent apps as I find it too long even on stock touchwiz.

I use xposed framework, and the module xposed aditions, you need root for this
When ever I tap on xposed aditions, it judt gives me a little prompt saying "This module does not provide a user interface" the module was already installed with the ROM I believe, tried Uninstalling it then reinstalling it but it doesnt uninstall although it says it does. And updating it doesnt work either as it saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is installed.
Any advice?

the reason there is delay when you press home button, is because system is waiting to see if it's double press to bring up voice command screen. There is a menu where you can disable double click and that should make wait much shorter, but I can't remember which menu is it ATM. This works on stock, I can't help with custom software.
Look in the Play store for Switcher. You can swipe from the bottom, left or right side of screen to open recent apps.

just install nova launcher or go launcher ex and create a gesture, one or two fingers sliding up to show the recent apps. a lot more convenient and quicker to access recents.

This seems like a much better option than trying to map a double click of the home key. Here's to hoping it works!
