i did the phone hard reset but i con not se the camera akon on my phone
Where is "on my phone" (home screen? menu? all over the place?), what ROM are you using and when did the icon disappear?
A little more information could be really helpful to make other people help you in return
home menu all over i didnot se camera
i dont know wich ROM is in use .
Well try to explain it - give us details.
Sigh....
In your app listing, there's an app called "Camera"
When you see it, long press on it and you can now drag it to the appropriate place in your homescreen.
Don't panic. You merely deleted the app from your homescreen.

there is no camera in my app
Then long-press on your home screen, select app, and then look for a camera from there.
If it still fails, reboot your phone first, then retry
If that still fails, do a factory reset.
If it still doesn't work, send it back for repairs.
It is necessary to give information about ROM version.
It is easy)
Go to settings-> Phone Info (or something like that)
and, for sure, you will see there all the information needed)

Hello,
There's a simple way for those who want to change default homescreen.
You have to be rooted.
So, you first have to download a file explorer that supports root, for example Root Explorer(paid, I use this one).
Then, go to /system and open default.prop with text editor.
Now, add this line:
Code:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
Where 3 is the number of the default screen you want - 1. So default screen 4 => 3.
Now, just reboot and it should work. If you have any problem/question, feel free to ask.
At first: Sounds great! Thanks!
But:
Afaik (only from some (elder?) videos) it's possible to add and delete home screens. Could you tell me or try what happens if you set this var to e.g. 5 (=> default home screen is 4) but you only have 3 home screens at all? The same has to be considered if you accidentally delete the last home screen and this one is/has been set to default.
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tweak was missing this feature from my past android phones.

Could it be made into a simple apk file?
Even easier - no root required
Sorry to steal your thunder -
Pinch zoom (helicopter mode) longpress & drag will do it.

Ian, the point of this mod is so that when you hit your home button, while in your homescreens, it will revert to the 4th screen. Normally when you are in your homescreens and then hit the home button again, it'll revert you to the first screen as default. This is the case even if you change the order of your homescreens using pinch to zoom.
Cool I hoped this was coming. Cant stand being on 1 as the home screen.
Thanks EleCtrOx666!
Works great.
If it is this easy to make the change I don't understand why Samsung didn't include it as an option in one of the configuration menus.

Just tried it: it will simply go to the last homescreen you have.

I'll see what I can do.
It worked great with root explorer, but not so much with ES File Explorer -- it does have a "root" mode, but it asks you whether you are using the CyanogenMod or the HiAPK rom.
For n00bs, like myself, it's also worth pointing out that you won't be able to edit the build.prop unless you click on the "mount rw" (read/write) button up at the top first. Afterwards, you'll probably want to click the "mount ro" (read only) at the top again.
Thanks a lot.

This works beautifully and something I've been pining for after moving from sense. Thanks a lot
I'm not an active Android dev. But isn't there a var you can call and just divide by 2?
Like:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen = ro.csc.homescreen.screencount/2;
Something like that? Excuse me if this obviously doesn't work, it was just a thought, as it would make it easier and won't require users to change that value whenever they change the amount of homescreens.
How did you find this setting? I'm interested if there are more useful settings like that.

i'm a beginner in this so pls have a little patience with me.
I got a SGS2 and i'm interested to know if there's anyway to root the phone without flashing a custom kernel taking in account that u have this "nice" counter on the phone.
Very nice explained how to modif home-screen number.
is it here any way to get temp root?
hi sorry to be a pain, but i would love to be change my default home screen button, I followed the guide, and rooted my phone successfully (i think) and once superuser was installed I went and found the defualtprop file and edited it as guided by adding that line, i clicked save & exit (at which point it tells me it made a backup of the original file) then after I restart the phone it just goes back to normal, like I never touched the file...
anyone know where i'm going wrong?
Thanks, reminds me of my HTC Desire now with homescreen centred

This Guide explains how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
This doesn't work for me. I can't add that line. I've tried two different text editors and two root explorers (one with an editor built in) and they both say the file can't be saved. No other programs open. I restarted the phone and tried again.
Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks for the help via PM.
In case anyone else had my problem, it was solved by using Root Explorer. Click "Mount R/W", do the edit, save, reboot.
Works perfectly.
So I make an app folder on the home screen to contain several apps. each time after I tap and open an app from the folder, the app willopen. After I close the app and return to the home screen, the folder remains open. I have to tap the back key or tap somewhere else to make the folder close. Is there a setting to make the folder close each time I tap and open an app in it?

It seems to be a know issue that happens to everyone (on the stock AT&T ROM at least).

Oic thx.
The only way I was ever able to get around this common annoyance that seems like it's easily fixed by the OEM... was to install 'Folder Locker' on my Note 1 and I also had it on my EVO 3D.
Hi there, something from the Menu disappoints me... Maybe someone is having a hint or a hack!
As you can see in the screenshot there is always the option for the Standard Application activated. In some cases I (maybe some other as well) i want to use aother app the next time. And If you forget it... its standard..
How can I disable the dialog, that the next used app will be used as default?
Anybody?
Cheers
Does nobody having this as an issue ?
hmmmm ^^
I have. But didn't find any solution for it...
If what I understand from you is correct, you want the menu to always appear every time, correct? What you have to do, is not to use the "OK" button at the bottom of the menu. Just double tap the app that you want to use. This way, the menu will always appear every time.
Use app picker classic on the play store

Glad to help. It seems this is a lesser known way to use the app selection menu [emoji1]
I know there is a thread on turning off capacitive buttons. But, I would like to change the behavior of them. I have a Note 4 and the Tab S 8.4 I'm running Nova launcher on both of them. On the Note 4, when I press and hold the recent/open apps button (left of the home button) the settings menu comes up (both for the phone and Nova). But, this same behavior does not happen on the Tab S. How can I change that? I've tried looking in both the phone settings and the Nova settings and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks.
I have the same question I need the same buttons changed. I'm using apex launcher and in the settings you can set what you want that left button to but it ha no effect on tab.
Just to make you both aware im working on this for you right now and nearly finished possibly, it involves moddyfying a keymap file in system/usr but im having some issues saving changes as the file is in use presumably...so im trying to find a bootloader that will let me navigate to it to copy it first so i can edit it and copy it back...i say bootloader but i mean a filemanager in a bootloader, coz the aroma in philz touch is pants lol....will let you know how it goes

Right nearly there mate the hard work is done...ive succesfully as a test that i was modifying the correct file turned my app switcher button into a "menu" button...as in if im in uc browser and i press it it will open the menu of it....or
If im viewing settings and press the button it clicks the 3 dots in the corner...so just so i dont spend my time and it turns out i misunderstood...you want it so when you press the button the main system settings menu opens up?
My long term plan is once ive modified the file correctly ill upload a copy and tell you where exactly to copy it and how.
Please reply soon m8 laters
EDIT
In other words i think its become a "more options" button lol unless thats what you were after?
Im now on a new challange to make it so when you hold the center button you get the running apps instead of google now which would be nice, cheers for sending me on this road its an interesting one...although i accidently disabled all my buttons at one point so its a bumpy one...lucky i made a backup
Ok ive realised ive misread slightly what you asked, your wanting to change the long press action on the recent apps button and not the single tap option, im already half way there , theres a jar file in the system/framework folder that effects long press actions...its a mibe field of text though and im not having much luck so far, it would be good if we were in 4.4.4 as theres simple options for this .... been spending an hour comparing apparent entries you can change in other samsung phones to the entries on the same file in our tab s......but there are differences that make it harder in our file and i cant see the same entries...it might explain why nova launcher isnt doung the job....ill keep working away though

what rom are you using and is it t800 or t805
I am also having the exact same issue with my S5 and Tab S 8.4. Hope pdolton2000 will post a fix soon. I am running BlissPop ver. 2.0 (Lollipop) on my Tab S. I tested on Google Now Launcher and Launcher3, both works. FYI, I did set left hardware button to be the menu key via the Bliss setting. It does work on other apps. Just not on Nova Launcher. Nothing happens when I tap on the left hardware button. thx in advance.
Root your Tab and install xPosed Additions (after installing the xPosed Framework). Upgrade to the Pro edition and it does everything you want (or should!)
I've been wracking my brain over this one. When I install new apps, they aren't sorted in alphabetical order, they're just thrown on the end of a list. When I uninstall apps, the blank space stays there until I manually tell it to sort things alphabetically. I've never seen this on an Android phone, but there must be an option for things to be sorted automatically. It seems quite frankly dumb that they would remove that feature and relegate it to a 3rd party app instead.

If you are using Home without app tray, long press on any open area and when you see the red X next to the icon, you can move the apps in and out of folders at will. When you are done, hit home. If you are using Home with an app tray, open app tray, hit the three dot menu in the top right and select Arrange Apps, and move apps a will, when completed, hi the check mark in the top right and your good to go. :good:

There's a lot of complaining about this. I see it both ways, and think auto-arrange should be an option, not default behavior.
I've spent the last week slowly installing apps and arranging my home screen. I do a lot of multitasking, and having the last installed app at the end really helped me find that app I just installed an hour ago before I got that phone call, whose name I forgot and am very happy it's not automatically burried with the rest.
My workflow has been to install the app, then drag it into the most appropriate home screen folder. It's really nice to quickly check the end of the drawer for non-alphabetical new additions, drag them to the correct folders, then finally manually toggle the re-sorting. Once I check the end of the drawer and see it's alphabetical, I know I'm totally organized.
Everybody's different. This is one 'bug' that I kinda prefer.
