Touch wiz problem - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to fix this problem when pressing the home button I get this screen that ask you if you wanna switch between Touch wiz easy Or home. I got it to the default app in setting and choose Touch Wiz Home and the press the home button once. It seems to come back after awhile.
Please help
Thank you!

When the choices come up select touchwiz home and then press always.

I have done that and it comes back.

something is breaking your defaults then. uninstall things that manage your settings.

Not sure but I reset the phone and it still does it

could be a bug in the version rom you have, try an older or newer version?

If you press the home button you should have a choice to pick which launcher you want to use.

Key word: should. The whole point of this thread is that hitting the home key didn't give the option like it should have.
You could also go into app setting under default launcher and turn tw asus default off.
Happened to me before.

Enabling On-Screen Buttons

Is there any way I can enable the on-screen buttons on the stock GS4 ROM. I'm trying to reduce the usage of the home button because I'm scared it might break/stop working anytime :/ The tutorial in the dev section doesnt seem to apply for me.

I think this is non sense. You will loose a part of screen for the on screen buttons. The home button will not break/stop working. You don't need to worry about this. And in the worst case if this will ever happen you can bring it back for free repair or replace it yourself (very cheap).
Personally i highly doubt that something like this will happen.

You can try downloading an app called EasyTouch, that wont take screen space. Its similar to the accesibility mode on the iphone.

You don't even need that, as this is built in, just look in the accessibility settings.
But... You can always do that IF the button fails. For now, don't worry about the hypothetical failure you may experience one day, just use the hard button

[19505G] Home Button Lag

Hey Guys
I have an i9505 that I flashed with 4.2.2 stock, and I'm getting lag when I want to go to the home screen. I hit the button and it takes a second to register. It occurred to me that this is because on the G edition ROM you have to press twice to go to the open apps menu. In TouchWiz, I disabled the go to Siri through the home button option to make things faster. Is there a way to remove the need to double click the home button, and make long press into the open app menu, like on TouchWiz? Or some way of reverting the key layout to back/home/apps rather than menu/home/back?

Uh, I chose to flash it to the i9505G ROM because I don't like TouchWiz. It works fine, I'm asking about the lag that comes because you have to double click home to get to the recent apps menu. On TouchWoz, it had the same thing unless you chose an option in S Voice to not open it with the home button, I was asking if there was a similar option in the i9505G ROM. My phone works fine nor is it a bin job, but if you want to be unhelpful and not read in the first place, go for it

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

I'm on stock and I can't find Access Control in Accessibility. Is this a CleanRom only feature?

No... I'm stock right now. I don't remember seeing it before so not sure how I got it there. Maybe from exposed?

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

It can if you have nova launcher pro. With a gesture. The notification drawer that is...

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

Weird... Did you x out of the past that says disable parts of the screen with touch? Wonder why it does that.

recent apps button to menu button?

Just was wondering if there is still a way to access the menu with the button or anyway to change that?
I use the menu feature much more frequently then recent apps on my device.
If that can't be changed that might make it harder for me to use.
Not a deal breaker from me buying it but can be annoying.
Long press the Recent apps can open Menu
Okay.
Good to know.
Thank you for sharing.
I feel less bothered by that now.
isnt there any way to change it back to normal ???? its really annoying to long press eveytime !!
Wish I could change it. Been searching with no positive results

You'll need root, then install xposed framework followed by gravitybox... a search on xda will explain these things If you need help

That is not the menu button.
I am also wanting to go back to the old layout and get rid of the stupid app switcher.
