I noticed when I make url shortcuts on my home screen they sometimes don't load. I just just have to hit refresh and it loads. I am using Chrome.
Anyone else have this issue? Or can test it by adding a shortcut to their home screen? Thanks

I was just wondering if there is a way to make the load bar for Opera bigger? Basically when you are loading a website it is a tad annoying that the load bar at the bottom of the screen is so thin and is hidden by the zoom button, sometimes I accidently think it isn't loading the page as I can't see the line behind the button.
Also regarding the bookmarks that come as standard, is there a way to reorder this list?
Thanks.
I was just reading about webOS and how good its interface is when dealing with multi-tasking and I realised how poor androids multi-tasking interface is. The only way I know to switch between running apps is to hold home button for a few seconds...
I personally think this can be improved by having thumbnails of open apps popup when the home button is single pressed on a home screen. Just as at the moment previews of all the home screens popup I think this should be switched with open app previews. I rarely ever use the home screen preview thing so i think its wasted, but I definitely would use app selector if little thumbnails showed.
Anybody have any thoughts on this? Im not a developer so I have no idea if this is possible but I think it would be a good feature to add and improve android. Do any devs think they can implement this??
Moved to general as not ROM development.
This would be a feature for a launcher app, so might be worth suggesting to someone like Fede who develops Launcher Pro, or cyanogenmod people that make ADW?
yes you are right. thanks. I was too lazy to find the relevant section to post under. will try contacting anderweb. or fede.
There are a couple of apps which overlays a screen on top of the current app you are in by tapping home twice, you can then open apps/access widgets without having to go back to homescreen first.
Currently im using 'smart taskbar', you can set the activation mode to be (1) tapping on a half-circle spot on either side of your screen or (2) swiping from one side to another. You can then open from a list of 5 'pinned' apps or choose from the mini apps drawer below, or click a tab called 'running' which seems the same as the current holding on home button behavior.
check out power strip. allows you to get a popup window where ever you are by doubble tapping home button (ore long press search button). there you can have quick access to widgets, shortcuts etc. really cool.

Thank you...it is set to correct one...I just noticed that what ever screen I'm on when I launch something that's where it goes back to. For example if I'm on the screen to the left of home screen and I hit a bookmark...it takes me to that book mark...but from there if I hit home it takes me back to the screen where the bookmark was not the home screen...but if I hit home button again then it goes to home screen. Is that by design...or is there a need for a fix. Thanks
Is anyone having issues with the home button? I will tap the home button to go to the home screen, but instead, it will take me to the recent apps menu about half the time. This is getting really annoying, and I'd like to get it fixed.
Does anyone else have this issue/know how to fix it? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Sounds like a mix of software / user issue to me.
I was doing the same thing so try this and see if it feels better.

With default settings a quick tap will bring you home after about 1.5 seconds
holding it brings up your recent apps, it sounds like you're holding it for the 1.5 seconds as you're expecting a delay for it to go to the home screen and its causing it to open up recent apps.
To remove this 1.5 second delay double tap home quickly and open up S-Voice, when S-Voice opens hit your menu button and turn off the double tap home to open, then close the app.
Now when you hit home there will be no delay as the system doesn't pause to wait for a second tap to open up s-voice and it just goes home. it also means you won't feel the need to hold it until it goes home inadvertently causing you to open up multitasking instead.
I have a problem with the phone..
Previously I could long press the apps and some menus would come. I could also drag the app to the home screen. But now I can't do that. Can you please help me solving this problem? I also can't make any change in the home screen. It seems launcher has been locked. But how do I unlock it.
