What is a Home App. A Home App, or sometimes called a “Launcher” is the main UI (User’s Interface) displayed after hitting the Home button. This UI should let you access all of the other features on your Android Device. The reason to change to a new Home App depends on an individuals customization preference on how they would like their device to function and look.

The following options are supported:

Clear Default: This action will take you to the the Installed App details; which will allow you to select “Clear Defaults”. Then hit the back button to get back to THM.

Set Default: This action will bring up a dialog to select an installed Home App and set it as the default.

Get Home: This action will bring up a dialog to select Home Apps that are on the Android Market. By making a selection it will take you to the Home App selected on the Android Market. This way it makes it easy for you to try out some different Home Apps.

Select Home App: By pressing on any given installed Home App it will immediately launch that home app.

Long Press Home App: By long pressing on any given installed Home App it will immediately take you to that Home App Installed App Details.
