[Q] go to home/default screen when exiting app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i searched but cannot find an answer which surprised me bacause i think this is so very basic. Just like in the title, i would like to be taken to my default screen whenever i exit app. i have all my apps on a second screen and i launch my most used apps from that sceen, but when i exit i would like to be taken to my first screen where i have all my info. i know , i know all i have to do is press home button again and it will take me there but i wonder if there is a way.
thanks in advance

Starting phone from standy in landscape mode

So I have a habit of sliding the phone open and then pressing the hardware messaging key, and no matter what, it never seems to work. I press the button, and Ill see the today screen, but no messaging window. I have to slide it back closed and open again and everything sorts itself out.
I've tried looking, but haven't seen anyone complain about this particular problem. Anyone else fret about this? any solutions?
no one has this problem?

I find my X01HT in landscape mode when i wake him um with the "on" button, and have to wait for it to "think" a litle bit to obey me, while that, if I try to push any command he will go crazy and the image will stay locked in the last scene and will not get actualized... Kind of annoying thing, using black Satin... But i'll try schaps now to see if that goes away...

Im on WM5.
Vijay, I don't want to disable orientation permanently. Just sometimes, I want to start messaging, so in stanby mode itself, ill open and start it up. thats what confuses the 8525, thats all. I have to close the phone, and then slide it open again for it to regain consciousness!
Its no biggie, but i was just wondering if any1 else had a similar issue.
FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)​All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

native screen capture

hi, i accidentally use a build in screen capture in my vibrant with froyo.
i couldn't replicate it with any combination i tried.
i read about holding the back button and then pressing menu or home but that didn't do anything.
how do i use it?
(please dong offer third party applications as they all suck...)
I don't think anybody knows how to. It seems like everybody encounters it accidentally. Haven't seen anybody replicate that screen capture option either.

lol, this is just ridicules...
how can they put a feature that is so hidden that no one in this forum, knows how to activate it.
They put it in there for use, then removed it later because on a vibrant you annoy press both home and back buttons at the same time.
The way you did it is your system lagged then you pressed those 2 buttons and bam
is there a way to do it again then?

SPB Shell 3D question

Hi guys,
It's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone on here knows how to set the default homescreen that first comes on after booting up the device. Now I don't mean just how to set the default homescreen, I have already figured that part out, and I get the homescreen I want when I press the Home button. My problem really is to figure out how to make it show that same screen when I reboot.
Hope someone can help out on this one

For me, it look really random. Usually it start on the last screen used. If it crashed need the retry option to start, it start on default homescreen. Sometime it's completely random.
Thank chadouming,
I figured it out though!... well kinda...
My solution, a very bizarre one, but works nevertheless:
- Go to desired default home screen (the screen you want to see when your device firsts comes on every time you boot it up.
- Change system fonts (I did say bizarre, didn't I?) [Settings-->Display-->Fonts]. SPB will restarts itself once you choose one and voilà! Done deal!
- When you reboot next time, and every other time after that, it will always come up to this home screen first.
If the setting changes, you can redo the above to your liking.

[Q] help needed

hi,
i've been using the s3 for six month now and finally got all things the way i want (omega v34 rom with perseus kernel and jkay deluxe framework). except for two things i can't seem to find anywhere:
1. lock back and menu buttons option in the quick panel settings. every time i play something or giving the phone to someone else the back\menu button is accidentally triggered causing a "kill app" operation (long press back button to kill app mod is enabled). annoying!
2. in the contacts screen there is an option to scroll a-->z, i have contacts written in other languages and want to rearrange the scroll order and include letters that are in my language (hebrew).
are the two things i wrote already exist, and if not, from whom should i request it?
p.s i know the #2 issue is possible to solve in galaxy s2 with decompiling some apk's- if anybody knows a good guide for s3 it would be great too..
tnx in advance to the repliers!
you can request the first one in the JKay thread in original development. It's a nice idea
Or if you watching a video on YouTube and you can lock the keys with the lock button so that if i give it to my friend and back button is pressed accidentally so it won't kill our take you out of the video.

Locking apps?

Okay so when I hit the recent apps button and all of my active apps pop up and I hit the icon like I'm going to enter split screen view at the bottom there is an option to lock the app? I figured that meant you couldn't close out of it or anything but you still can close out of it. Can't find anything about it anywhere on the internet someone could please explain that would he awesome!
