I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod lightly on my Nexus 4. Is there a way to customize my home button to always return to screen 1 instead of the most recently used screen? I know that touching it twice does it, but I was looking to make it 1 by default and use the back arrow to get to the most recent. I'm usign the default launcher Trebuchet. (I also can't find where to customize my home screen items.)
My research shows that this was the opposite way in earlier Android 4.x versions but somewhere along the line it switched. Is there a setting that I can change or an app that I can use?

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.
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
Hi,
I just bought this phone, upgraded from my Note 4. Basically on the Note 4, there's a toggle and setting for multi windows, but I dont see it on the Edge+? Where can I find it?
Also, on the Note 4 I can hold the back button then a side panel will appear with the list of apps that can be used in multi windows. But holding back button on the edge+ doesnt do anything?
I've done some googling but didnt find anything useful, pls help.
Press and hold the recent apps button. Available apps will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can scroll left and right through the apps. Just select an app and it will fill the top half of your screen. Second app selected will fill the bottom half.
Hi,
What you mentioned is split view. In Note4, if i have a full screen app running (e.g. games), then when i hold the back button, it will allow me to open another apps as a popup window so I can let the full screen app running while looking at the pop up app. But the split view doesnt support this as both apps need to be split view-able
I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.
This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.
Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.
A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!
Hello all
I just picked up a AT&T S5e last night and was setting it up as much as I could the same as my AT&T Note 9, and for the most part everything worked fine, but in the section for Display>Home screen, there were two options I was trying to get working that would not.
The first was the Home Screen grid layout which for every time I tap on it, it just takes me to the regular full-size home screen and not the screen one that shows it smaller and with the few options below to change the grid layout.
Oddly it does this for the next option down of the Apps grid screen, but not the Home screen grid.
Then the second issue is the selection slider for the Apps button to have that button shown on the Home screen and for that the selector actually slides to the right an goes blue, but when I close this setting page and open it back up, its back to the left again as in that it did not save that selection.
Needless to say the Apps button is not on my Home screen either.
Oddly both of these work correctly on my AT&T Note 9 phone and both when it had Android 9 and now with the 10 upgrade, but they won’t do this on my S5e.
Also btw, I did do the One UI Home upgrade and its now showing it as version 10.0.35.14, and that it’s the latest version.
So has any one else had these same problems?
Thanks
