Do you mean if you go away from the center screen, launch and app, and return, you want to return to the center screen?

I agree. I would like it much better if when the home button was pressed it returned to the main screen.

This way one could go to a secondary screen, check a message, and hit the home button to return to the main screen.

Some of the other apps have this feature. If you select "home" it takes you to the designated home screen. If you select it again it give you the normal select home app option.

I was using dxTop previous to finding your app. This feature was added to that program at user requests.

No. Just go to one of the other slide screens. Not even launching an app. When you hit the home button, it should return you to the "center" or main home screen. Does that make more sense?

Agreed. This is must for a home app.

The way you have it set up now - by using the "back" button to back out of apps, then to the last screen you were on, then to the center "home" screen is ok.

But, when I hit the "home" button it should take me directly - with one press - to the center "home" screen without having to back out of anything.

This is important when one is in a call and needs to remain in the call - but, one needs to access a program. Currently, I would have to hit the back button until I get to the home screen before I could go to a new app. All I should have to do is hit the home button to go strait to the Home "center" screen.
