Launchers

I have a Galaxy S3. I have multiple launchers installed.

The way it is set up now, if I press the home button it asks me which launcher to load, but the negative is I cannot jump to the home page of the current launcher anymore using the home button.

The way I want it setup is if I press the home button it jumps to the home page of my current launcher. If I double press the home button it asks me which launcher to load. Can that be done?

I like my home button to be used for jumping to the home page of my current launcher but switching between launchers is not too user friendly. The only way I know how is to use application manager.

secondly, I have a few launchers. Nova for example adds a shortcut to your application pool so you can just go to it by clicking/touching it. Atom on the other hand does not add any shortcut to the application pool so the only way to get to atom is to use the annoying application manager.



Is there any way to be able to conveniently jump to home screen and jump to launchers?
 
Something like Home Switcher is a life saver while you try out a couple different launchers. But I would highly recommend that you pick the one that you like best and uninstall the rest. Having multiple home screens can waste power especially if you have lots of widgets on them. There is no reason to have more than one launcher that you use regularly.
 
I use Home Manger. Which appears to be very similar to Home Switcher and also appears to be free.
