Home Replacements and the Home Key

[dman2275]

Hi everyone,

I like switching between the stock home and Launcher Pro and ADW. Since the 2.2 update, when I use a home switcher to use one of the replacements, my phone defaults back to the stock home screen when I hit the hardware home button on the bottom of my Moto Droid.

Is there a setting I am missing to change this. Even when I select the replacement as "default" using the Home Switcher, it still reverts back to the stock one when I hit that home button.

Any help would be apprecitated.

In cyanogen you can set the home key behavior in cyanogen settings, set the home key using the 'Activities' functionality to use whatever launcher you choose upon long press of the home key. I use launcher pro as my main launcher and hitting the home key opens screen previews or what you have set but holding the home key opens adw launcher...best of both worlds.

Assuming you're on stock, uninstalling and reinstalling either LP or ADW should clear the defaults.

No need to uninstall/reinstall. You can go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, then find the launcher you currently have as the default and "Clear defaults." Next time you press the home button it should ask you which to use.
