I want menu button(grid) at the home screen not Menu List

Hi, I tried to find a topic here discussing about setting my home screen to use menu button instead of menu list but could not find. How can I achieve that? What I did so far 1. At my screen page, I have home(menu-list), menu button, and couple of custom HTML page. 2. I delete all the item at Home(menu list) and added it to menu button. 3. However, when I open it at emulator. I see "blank" how to set my menu button to become my home screen??

The "Home" screen is the screen that is the first screen to show up, or the first to show up after a splash screen. 'Typically' this is a menu, but the reality is, it can be any screen you want. To change your 'Home' screen, you would specify this in 'Layout'. If it is a 'single tab' (meaning no tabs) layout, specify the button menu screen there. If it uses multiple tabs, by default the first tab (actually called 'Tab 0' or Tab Zero) is the 'Home' Screen. There are ways to change this, but by default that is how it works. If you want your button menu to be the 'home' screen, either select it (and save) in the layout, or select it as the first tab (and save) in layout. Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug
