I want to know if it is possible to make a shorcut to the homescreen that brings up the pop up menu that opens when you hold the Home key.

What use would it have? Basically all it would do would be taking up space and not offering any real gain since it is only a long press of the home key away...

I'm making my homescreen look kinda like honeycomb. I got the dock to look like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And i want the requested shorcut to put on the "recent apps" part of the honeycomb dock

While I am yet to see a shortcut for the default "recent apps" both of these apps come to mind (not to mention are free if you want to try them and see if they are comparable for your needs)

Am I missing something on how to remove apps from my main screens. I just loaded the ROM and it came w/ some apps that I don't want on my main screens. When I drag them to the trash "Unable to remove system application".
1.Press the screen until the widget preview pops up
2.Drag the folder onto the homescreen
3.Drag the apps to the folder
4.Then move that folder to the next page or which ever page you're not going to use.

You can do something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I really like having all my apps under one screen. Looks like I need to find another rom. The journey continues.....
Have you tried removing them with Titanium Backup?

Or use a different launcher....
I am wondering whether to upgrade from my E4GT to the S3, but I worry that I would really miss the search button. I am used to holding down the search button to get a list of my ten favorite apps (using my free FastLaunch app, in Google Play) at any time. This way if, say, I want to switch the audio from the speaker to the earpiece for listening to ebooks in public without headphones or switch screen colors or do some other common function, I can just get the relevant app popping up on top of whatever else I am doing, do what I need to do, and press back once to go to what I was doing before.
Is there any way to remap, say, a long-hold of the menu button or of the back-button to do something useful? With root, of course. (I assume the fsdebug exploit still works.)
I know that there is stuff like Wave Launcher where you wave the phone and it pops up a list of common apps, but I think that would get annoying fast, plus the use of the accelerometer will eat up batteries. I really like launching things with hardware keys...
Long holding home button brings up most recent apps. Assuming you use you favorite apps , it should work.

Check out "SwipePad: Hyperspace Jump"

Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's about it!

dear i think u should check the forum before you post... the thing GMD gestures already posted and described in the forum

Hey all!
I would like to make mention of an unbelievable launcher from Chris Lacy called Action Launcher. It is like the TouchWiz vertical drawer on steroids. The drawer slides out from the left, with an alphabetical list like how TouchWiz can be configured. It has many groundbreaking features that I have never seen in other launchers and it's very easy/clean/minimalist. For those who don't like tons of homescreens but still like to use widgets, you can doubletap or swipe an app that has a widget, and it will just simply popup until you press elsewhere. (Similar to Overlays only automatic, less customization, and not persistent.) You can even do this from inside folders on your bottom bar. I've took some screenshots of my setup to show it's awesome functionality. Note: This launcher puts focus on ingenuity over raw amount of customization. It is not a replacement for you customization junkies, sorry; however, I've found I simply don't want to customize much anymore - it's all there! I hope some of you find something you like in this.

It is pretty cool, but its not free and I haven't seen a lite version. I just downloaded a pirated version to check it out. Many cool ideas, but they didn't work very well. I can't spend money on a work in progress.
Is it possible to run 2 different apps on screen at the same time , like say youtube and chrome . I'm not sure if the phone has the feature
Well, there is an option to run two instances of one app. So you can use two whats app accounts. And with Nougat update you can set split screen in "Recent Apps" menu by dragging one app to the top of the screen and choosing an other one for the bottom of the screen.
Possible in Android 7.

You have two options.
1. Open both apps, as you said YouTube and chrome. Click back/finger print soft button a bit for multi tasking window, click top of one app and drag till the taskbar and release your finger, there you have it.
2. Open the above two apps, or more. Slide the bottom part of screen to reveal on screen navigation bar if you have disabled it. Click and hold multitask button for a bit. That's it.
