PRS-T1 Home button function after rooted?

fm365net · 12-13-2011, 11:12 PM

I just got my prs-t1 yesterday and rooted.

Question is that when i click home button, it asks me to choose between ADWLauncher EX and Home, and whether i would like USE BY DEFAULT FOR THIS ACTION. I am wondering if i choose one, for example Home, how can i get back to ADWLauncher EX? Turn it off ?

Thanks here for any advice.

I added zeam launcher(in your case ADWlauncher) to the bar shortcuts..and made the

sony home as the default action for HOME button..

thus I access the rooted partition by using bar shortcut in the notification..!

In the android app drawer, click barshortcuts, you will see.

I have got a problem concerning this.
I accidentally used Sony Home as default without adding a bar shortcut for the ADW Launcher.
Now i do not know how to access the ADW Launcher without applying the root another time, if even possible.
Hope you are able to help me.

Until you get a sophisticated answer, I'd try to root it again, but this time with zeam launcher package. It has been added recently. Zeam launcher is more light-weight and already has its own bar shortcut. So, wether or not a re-root overwrites default settings, you shold be given a new choice dialogue because it is a new launcher.

I just did this and it worked fine.
Thank you very much.

What exactly did you?
uninstalled the root?
reinstalled root with zeam?

I have the same "problem" now. I made a wrong choice - today morning.

What happened to the installed apps? Their settings?

You can get to ADW Launcher by going to settings Wi-Fi

Press the bar at the top of the screen.

you will have a menu called ongoing with

ADWLauncher EX

Cool Reader

ContentManager

A little late, because i didn't see your post by now, but I hope I am still able to help you.
Yes, I did what you wrote, uninstalled the root and reinstalled it.
The apps I installed were deleted, but the CoolReader settings were still the same.
Didn't look at the settings of other apps.

Here's an alternative to the barshortcuts method. If you are using ADW you can create a shortcut to the Sony Reader Home on your ADW homescreen (I've done the same for ReLaunch as well). When you make a new shortcut (longpress on empy part of screen), choose "activities" (not "applications"), scroll down to "Home" and expand. They you can select Home(.activities.HomePageActivity) and viola, a Sony home button no you launcher (or dock if you prefer). That's what I did and then I selected ADW as the home button default and uninstalled barshortcuts.

another way without a re-root is to re-install the barshortcuts app, at least, simpler than uninstalling rooting and re-rooting.
