So I've recently noticed that once you hit home when you are using any app, you get this sort of short cut screen, is there any way to get rid of it?

This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer the question this recent shortcut screen is displayed only when you press and hold the home button, if you just press the home button without holding it takes you to the home screen of your preferred launcher. I'm not sure if its possible to disable this.
Been around since at least android 2.0. Eclair

I don't know how you get that.
When I'm in "any app", and press home - I get home.
If I'm in "any app" and hold home, I get the typical shortcut box.
All I get when I hold home is the task manager screen which is what's supposed to happen when you do that. I've never seen that screen before.
This screen displays when phone thinks it's in a desktop dock.
Thank you for the info, I rebooted and it went away, again thanks!

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_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)

Anyone know what app might be causing this??

EDIT: Ok like ericcanboni said it is the desck clock on the original clock, but now everytime I press home it takes me to this, usually a reboot would fix it but now not even that fixes it, I uninstalled the stock clock and fixed it, but I just reinstalled it and its still doing it, anyway to fix this or do I have to use a different alarm now?
It might be car home or something like that

That is the dock screen, comes up when your phone is docked. Pretty sure it's magnetically triggered or something.

It's the 'Desk Clock' tab in the stock Clock app. Not sure why it would be opening every time you press home. I think it does open when attached to a desk dock, but I'm not sure.
take screenshot without application:
press home button + power button simultaneously.....

Don't forget that we already have the long dedicated thread for this:
How to make a screenshot without using any 3rd party apps.
There is especially very useful the latest post from irishpancake, because some people have problem with pressing two buttons simultaneously:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24139369&postcount=28
The best procedure how to make the snapshot is:
Put your thumb fingers on both buttons and first press Home button and leave it pressed and after a fraction of second press Power button with your other thumb finger. Then release both buttons. With a fraction second I mean max 0.1 second.
Don't press buttons in the reverse order (first Power button and then Home button), because although you make the snapshot you invoke Power menu too.
wow
Thanks! ^^
I am having some frustration with the stock music player. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get back to the album/artist/playlists screen after selecting a song.
I want to go from here

This works, but not when going in from the homescreen widget. When I hit back from the widget it just goes back to homescreen for me

I have two Note 2s. I shattered the front glass on my first.
On my the broken Note 2, pressing and holding the Menu button never brought up Google Now. Trying it right now, holding the menu button still just brings up the search bar. I was never able to enable it.
My new Note 2 brings up Google Now without a problem. But I suspect there are others who have the same problem as my first phone did. I checked everywhere, and there were no settings to be found for it.
Always works for me. Here's a screen shot.
