Hi guys does amyone know any keyboard shortcuts or combination where I can go to home screen directly instead of going back one screen at a time...i know esc and right click does this but say I'm on a webpage but need to go to home screen to go to a different application.
Secondly I want to access menu items without having to reach the phone to press a button. Thanks

The power button on my wife's HTC Desire is faulty and becomes unresponsive at times.
When this happens, it means sge cannot get access to the phone unless she either plugs in/unplugs charger, receives a call or removes/reinserts battery (phone will power up automatically when button playing up)
Phone is out of warranty and cannot get repaired right now, so what i want to know is, does anyone know of an app that can be installed that could set other buttons on the phone to activate screen when screen is off?
Any advice would be appreciated

Widgetlocker app does this on unrooted phones

Thank you all for your responses, i have installed widgetlocker (on desire and my own galaxy s).
on the initial start up it does advise to go unto settings to be able to set any hardware key to activate screen. But i cannot find the settings :-\ the menu icon only locks the screen as does the icon in status bar.
Can you please help me find the settings?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Open widgetlocker from your app draw. This will cause the lockscreen to appear but is actually 'tool mode'.
Now press your menu button > settings > buttons and inputs > check Easy Wake. Done.

I've tried looking thru all the settings and menus?
The stock ICS browser can't be THAT poorly designed can it?
Can anyone please help me find the button to show bookmarks?
Where is it hidden? C'mon Google, bookmarks should be a 1 touch access feature. Why did you bury it?
Hold the back button.

a ha! there it is! thanks!
I wish they would put it on the side thumb shortcut thing.
It is next to the tab button? Not sure because i enabled lab quick control.
If you enabled lab quick control, you cant access bookmark easily. One way to do it is by long press back button then swipe.
Bookmark button has been added to the lab quick control on 4.0.3.
Also if you press the tab button at the top the bookmark button is visible at the top of the tab selection screen.

I previously had a GNEX. Loved the swipe up from home shortcut for Google Now. On my Note 2 the only way I see to launch Google Now is by holding the menu button. This is ok, but it brings up the keyboard and recent search entries causing clutter (and yiu have to press the back button to make the keyboard go away). And the prior search results stay on the screen.
Is there a faster/better way to quickly access Google Now?

I use Nova launcher and can swipe up for GOOGLE

Use Swipepad: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1vYmkuY29uZHVjdGlvbi5zd2lwZXBhZC5hbmRyb2lkIl0.
(which is a must have app for any android device)
Then put google now in one of the slots. All you have to do then is swipe up from your chosen hotspot to it and you're set. :good:
You can do it by a long press on the menu touch button, or dragging the google shortcut from the lockscreen.

In my OP, I mention the menu way. It's annoying because it brings up the keyboard and recent searches. You have to hit back to get rid of the KB and the recent searches stay there. It's not ideal.
I downloaded swypepad, but in order to use more zones, you have to pay. Lame.
Oh well.
Touch the word 'Google' on the left-hand side of the perma-widget.

Just did that. Still launches the keyboard and recent searches. Not clean and is frankly irritating.
Your phone is screwed up....lol

So your's doesn't do this when either holding the menu button or touching "google" on the search bar (widget)?
What?
If you use Nova, you can bind Search Text to "long press menu". That brings me the Google+ screen...

You're right, it does pull up the keyboard, but if u start scrolling through the cards it all disappears.

Long press on my home button brings up my recent apps and three icons at the bottom.
Pie chart, Google and dustbin.
Press Google for Google now. No keyboard or recent searches appear.
However, if i touch the word Google on the search widget then Google now comes straight up but with the keyboard

On my desktop, using lightning launcher. No clue about TW, can one do that?
Is this possible? I don't like using the S pen to take screen shots because I always end up marking up the image and it gets annoying having to take it out just for a quick screen shot.
Slide your hand across your screen.. boom... I find it works best using the back of my hand with my fingers touching the screen as well

Yes if you swipe your palm across the whole screen either right or left it will take a screen shot. Also holding down the power button plus the home key will also do it.

Neither of these work for me, I guess it doesn't work on Nova Launcher and only Touchwiz.
Thank for the replies though!:good:
Edit: never mind, holding power + home worked! thank again guys!
Just hold power button and home button down at same time and it takes a screen shot hope that helps

also the palm swipe requires that you enable "MOTION" and check the screenshot option (motion is off by default unless you selected to enable it)
I can confirm ALL THREE operations function. press hold spen (pressing button) or palm swipe or simul press hold home and power.

Hey yall, just wanted to know I'd there is an app or a file that I could flash that will allow me to go my lock screen just by touching the screen. Sometimes I would like to check the weather or time on my lock screen but I don't want have hit the power button all the time.

There are widgets for that, just look through the Play Store. (Widgetsoid has that option I believe)
