Tap and hold is not working

Hello everyone,
I'm using my phone with CM7 mod. I want to remove widgets and icons on home screen, trying to tap and hold specific icon, but nothing happens, phone just vibrates a little bit and that's it.. Tap and hold is not working only on home screen, in the menu it works. So please, if anybody knows the solution, i'll be very grateful for this.

Which launcher are you using?

click menu, then more and uncheck lock desktop

[Q] Wanted, Screenshot option plz.

Cant any1 tell how to add the screen shot option to the power menu for the official ics please? I know the power buttona dn volume down can be used but i prefer the option in power menu. Can any help me with this?

Just download an app from the market that does this

push and hold "power and vol-" at the same time for a second or so it will snap a shot
Pvy

dosent the screenshot sound like a sneeze?

[REQUEST] [MOD] screenshot with button combo rather than swipe

wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.

Press n hold the power and home button together !

Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed

Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.

I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0

Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.

Unlock to home

I just found out about Buzz Launcher. Its great. I want to use it as a lockscreen or sth. I have turned of lockscreen from android settngs. I want when I press the lock key of gnex the phone to sleep and after pressing the key for a second time to go to home.

i am very confused.......so you said you like the buzz launcher......and you want to use it as lockscreen? I assume you really reall love the buzz launcher lock screen and want to rip it out so you can use it with other roms? Is that it?

No. I want to push the lock key. And after pressing it for a second time I want to see the home screen. I think that there was such an option in the spare parts app.

so what you mean is you wanna skip the entire lock screen? just press power key and go straight to wherever you were left off, and press home key to return to default home screen?

I am looking to do the same....
what he and I want to do is for example we are in an app like chrome and we press the power button to turn off the screen then the next time we press the power button to turn the screen on it will then be back on the home screen and NOT on the last app we were in.
SO the goal would be NOT to use a lock screen at all, however when we press the power button then we will see whatever widgets/info displayed on the "home screen"
Not sure if I am explaining it proper but either way I want to know as well if this is possible.
Using Galaxy Nexus - Linaro AOKP rom if that matters.
Any info would be amazing.
Thank you.

Tasker can achieve this. Just create a profile for the event screen off or power button.
