I installed the aosp 6.0 rom on my v500 but sadly I cant seem to find a way to change which home screen is summoned when pressing the home button..
Am I being thick or is the most left homescreen just always selected upon pressing the home button?
Thanks in advance for any help

Nope, you're not thick. It's just the way AOSP works : no gimmicks, just basics. If you need this choice, you'll have to search for another Launcher...
Cheers
Thanks for the reply! I had a feeling that was the case..
I just installed another launcher (xperia z3 one) and it works like I want it to!:good:

I remember on all my old phones you could pinch the screen and get little cards of all the other screens and then you could touch one to go directly to that screen. Is there a way to do it on the nexus? I can't get it to work.
Just long-press the home button and there it is!!
Edit: It works (also by pinching ), but I realize now that I use ADW EX (custom launcher). In the stock launcher it does not work. Sorry.

Agreed. You said it man.
Tried that and it does nothing. It will take me to the home screen if im not on it but long pressing does nothing else.

Maybe you missed my edit. A custom launcher should do the trick.
Just got the SGIII and my GNex is now my 16 month old daughters learning device. We installed a whole bunch of baby stuff but the problem is she keeps hitting the home button and exiting the app.
The phone is rooted and I am running the Nova launcher so I could remove all the navbar buttons... But then I won't be able to exit some apps if there isn't a built in exit option...
My idea was to add a HOME button to the power button menu. That way I would have a way to exit but my daughter shouldn't be able to figure it out so easily. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm running Codename Android ROM but I'd change if there was one that would work better.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the google search option when you drag your finger up from the bottom... I can't stand it, I always seem to do it by mistake myself.
Thanks,
Jim
i dont think this is possible..
Ok I figured as much. Any other ideas how I could hide home button but still have access to it via some other means?

This sounds exactly what you're after. It lets you remove/restore the navbar from the power menu, preventing unwanted exits.
Hi guys,
Was wondering if anyone knows how to remap the buttons on the Note II. I have looked in a few Galaxy S3 forums to not much help.
What i'm trying to do is have the Menu button for recent apps, and long press it for the menu. Maybe hold down the home key for Google voice search or something as we all know how good S-Voice is. Not.
So any ideas? I found where all the data is in /system/usr/keylayout ... cant see 'recent' or something similar in any of those files but there is various 'HOME' and 'MENU' but im not sure which to change.
Other information
ROM: Android Revolution HD (4.1.1)
GT:N1700
ROOTED
Cheers

Hi, as far as i know the feature to remap the soft keys is only possible with a Custom ROM, but to remap the home button i know how to do that if your interested.
You can remap them with launchers, nova launcher for example.

My home button doesn't take me to the home page.

I haven't tried this myself, but can you swap the key numbers in Generic.kl (/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl) to get what you want?
has anyone looked into this yet? I think many people, especially coming from the Gnex would like to remap
Any figure this out yet?
I'd like to make make long pressing back button activate recent apps, and long pressing home button activate the multitask side bar on my Galaxy Note 2.
I know Nova Launcher can do it, but I'm using Go Launcher which I don't think has that feature.

Try Apex Launcher... it will be able to use gesture and also button remapping.

Yes, I also hear Apex can do it too. Problem is I've finally gotten my phone customized the way I like, and Go Launcher is a big part it that. So I don't want to give it up. Was hoping there's another way to remap the buttons.

Thanks for the link. Wanted to comment on that thread and ask for a custom mod for the settings I want, but unfortunately xda won't let me post in development threads because I have less than 10 comments. Kinda annoying.

I would like to nulify my back button on my Samsung Note II. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Let me start off by saying that this rom is so amazing. Brought back my galaxy grand duos to life. Huge difference from stock 4.2.2!!
One issue I noticed though: Press & hold home button activates recent apps AND now on tap at the same time!

and the question/problem is?
Like I said, press and hold home button is assigned for both recent app switcher AND now on tap. Which makes using now on tap impossible.

Make another 2 post and you'll be able to post/ask in the rom thread. You may have a better answer there than here, as Im not using the rom, so Im not able to provide better solution than this.
In cm12.1 under setting,there's button tab which have an option to set the button assign. See if your rom have the same option.
Edited: I just found this post, will gibe you the answer for your question.

Thanks, that was helpful.
AOSP does not have an option to change buttons. I love AOSP simplicity but the menu button is pretty useless on marshmallow. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it function as a recent app switcher instead.

I believe I read it in the aosp 6.0 thread about disabling the now on tap function, in Google setting I think. Check the link I gave, probably couple post before or after it.
Hi guys, I have a problem with my phone, today whenever I press the home button it will ask for a launcher, I already choose to always instead of just once, it ask for either oneplus launcher or my installed rootless pixel launcher. I running OOS 5.0.4 no root or anything.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
