Home Key comes up Clock app - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Today, I noticed that my home key is not working the way it was working before. I think that in being in my pocket changed some settings. Basically, the home key (the big button in middle bottom) does not show the home screen, but it opens up the Clock app. I am looking online and on my phone, but I can't find the setting. Please help.
Thanks
Edit: nevermind, found it. It was the Solo launcher settings. How do I delete this thread?

[REQ] Assigning 'home' button in Titanium

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if the collective genius at XDA could help me out with a small question.
I'm using a Diamond with titanium, and when I press the 'home' key, it successfully brings me to the home screen. What it does not do is bring me to the 'clock' panel. By default, titanium reverts to the last panel you were viewing. Perhaps I was tainted by Manila, but I'm now used to pressing 'home' and seeing the time. I know i can always see the time in the taskbar, but humour me please. My question is:
Is there any way to make the home button send me directly to the 'clock' panel in Titanium?
(OR - - have titanium refresh to the clock panel instead of remembering where you last were)
Thanks in advance all!
on my device (Titan) pressing the End Call takes me to the Clock plugin and centers it on screen. Have you tried pressing the home button twice or pressing the end call button after pressing the home key.
Default Panel
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too am trying to figure out how to create a default panel. Not being able to have Titanium revert to a specific panel after a set period of time is the only issue I have. If you find a way to do this please share it with me.

This also works on the AT&T Fuze.. Hitting the "End Call" take me back to the clock.
Thanks. I was hoping to be able to find a tweak or something to have it done automatically.
End Call Key - Titanium clock panel
I am also looking for a registry tweak which takes me to the Clock Panel with a short press of the End Call Key. Some cooked WM6.5 Titanium roms have it and some do not. Thanks

Home button - Is there a way to assign a default screen/panel number?

When home button is tapped it brings you to the last panel/screen you have until you have more then 4 of them, after that it will bring you to the 4th one if you tap home screen when already in the home screen. I think there should be a way to assign any screen as a default one but I couldn't find how.
Launcher Pro can do it. Of course if you like using the Touch Wiz interface it wouldn't work.
Preferences > Home Screen Settings > Default Screen
I like TW, so no way to do it in TW... that's a shame
Found this after looking through the tips thread. I like touchwiz too, too bad this can't be changed.
seriosuly this sucks, i want 3 screens, and the middle one (#2) to be the home but it always brings me to #3. annoying.

galaxy s2 home button changed ?

Since 2 days now i have a big issue with my home button. usually when i was pressing it. it was going to my home screen. Now, i get a new page that only show me the clock, meteo and a few apps that are useless on the bottom of the screen. I never asked my phone to change it and i can't find the settings to revert it back to normal. Anyone knows how to fix it ? i dont want to re-install the hole thing.
Thanks !
What launcher do you use? Stock firmware? Rom?
Must be another Launcher installed...
TWLauncher will bring you to Homescreen 1
screenshot would help? are you on a custom rom or launcher?
Just to debunk the obvious: With TW launcher your home screen is the first one, the one to the far left. However, when you exit an app with the Home button, it simply takes you to the last screen you were on. So if you set i.e. the middle screen as your "home" and kept using it thinking it was your actual home screen, you may have thought that the Home button was taking you back to your "home screen," and now you may have noticed that pressing the Home button while you're not in an app takes you to the one to the far left instead.
I don't think you're an idiot, but just for the record.
I just had the same thing happne to me as well. It was alsco discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116748&highlight=home
After turning the phone off and on its back to normal. No idea how it happned

Quick question: how to get back to the app launcher?

This seems like an easy question, but I've googled this and searched threads and found nothing.
When using Nook SImple Touch (with nooter) how do I get back to the app launcher, after I enter the B&N E-reader?
Look for an arrow on the right edge around the middle.
This is the Button Savior app. Tap the arrow and it opens up
a few more buttons. Tap on the button with the home icon
and you get back to the launcher. It is also possible to
setup the "n" button to bring up the launcher using
Nook touch tools.

Thank you so much for the help!
You can also use Nook Touch Tools to enable the same menu on the recent apps menu that shows if you long-press the 'n' key.

Launcher menu appears locked

hello , this is my first post, so i apologize if this has been already asked. i have just purchased a basic android system and am unable to add/remove items to the home screen menu on the default launcher. i have tried pressing an holding the menu item, but no options appear to remove the item, i have tried pressing and holding a blank area of the home screen and still no options appear. i cannot hold and drag to rearrange the order of the current items in the home screen. the home screen appears locked when i drag app's onto the home screen i get the message "no more room on this home screen".
has any one seen this launcher before that could please advise me, or know of a similar launcher i could install.. Cheers in advance.
