hey, see my post on the FileRW class 😉 to have a code more readable and extensive

Maybe some kind of LL.reload() would help in reducing the “kludginess” level.

to avoid restarting the launcher by the hard way? LL.reload() would be great I think!

Lukas, how would i use this script? If i wanted to set desktop #2 as the home, i just call it and pass 2 as the data?

Jordan Peters no, this is just a function which has to be called.
However you could do that by adding this line at the end:
setHomeDesktop(LL.getEvent().getData());
Note that if the Data is invalid (no number, too big number… ) this may screw your launcher, so don’t forget to backup before trying.

1. Is there another way to change the homescreen, this code works only once, then I have to make manual change to work again.
2. Every time I run the script, the recent apps screen appear.
3. How to put the LL.reload, when I used it I hot an error.

This will be supported through a new API in the next major version.
There is no LL.reload, but you can use LL.runAction(EventHandler.RESTART);

Hi, sorry to bring up an old post, Is there any other way to set homescreen other than this script? By the way I get this script to work but only by kill the launcher, a restart (LL.runAction(EventHandler.RESTART);) aparently write the config file before exit, so this doesn’t work 🙁
Thanks!

Other than manual configuration, no. This is the only way to set the home screen.
