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".

Hi everyone! As the title says, for some strange reason this morning my 'Home' button won't work from any application, the button however does make the screen light up and the buttons light up, but does not take you back to the home screen... also, when at the home screen, the dial button would usually bring the contacts or the dialer page up, but this is not working either, however, if I go into the contacts shortcut on the home screen and select a contact and press the dial button there, it will call them...
so basically, my main issue is the Home button not working!
Its not rooted *yet* and is therefore running a standard rom, it does have a fair few apps installed tho, but I have used the advanced task manager to close everything... I'm v' new to all this Android stuff as up until a few months ago, I was a Windows Mobile person with my previous SPV's and HTC's so any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks, Adam.
How do you change the default home screen? Like when I press the home button it will use that instead? Cause im trying out the ADW Launcher but its not in the applications lists so I cant open it.
When using a program try holding the home button, this should pop up with a menu that says "complete action with" and show Home or ADW. Or something like that, I know Ive seen that menu before.
Yea, it used to show the menu. But then I set the Home as default action so if I press home it will bring me to the home i dont want and if I hold it, it shows a box with recently opened apps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Holding the home button is the action for bringing the recent app list. *FAIL*

Go into application settings and clear the defaults for Home.
Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications
Scroll down do the Home application (cant remember if its called home or what, deleted my Launcher.apk ages ago after getting root). Once you have cleared the defaults. A press on the home button will show you options to select your home screen, this will include ADW, Home and TimeScape, select ADW and check "Set as default".
Hi
Stupid problem!
Bought my daughter a ZTE Blade 3. Stock ROM from Virgin UK.
Somehow she has dropped an icon over the "all apps" icon in the bottom row of icons on the home screen.
All fixes I can find involve a long press on the home screen and a menu coming up with a menu that includes shortcuts or something similar. However the menu that comes up doesnt have anything relevant!
Any ideas?
Cheers
Rob
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.
