Hiya Again, for those who have had me make comments a few times today, i like to say i had the same problem in Android BTv2.0 I couldnt figure out a solution for it, but worked out that the difficulty lay in how to get the BT_Config.txt to recognise the "Home Menu" as a 'Menu Button' rather than a 'Menu Simple' which seems to be the default screen for a "Home Menu Screen". Hopefully some of the native gurus will shed momre light on this one. Welcome to buzztouch Zen.

Hi @Zen, Welcome to buzztouch! If you want to have a button menu as your home screen, which is completely doable, you have to do the following: 1. Add a "Menu Buttons" screen to your app. You can call it "Home Screen" or whatever you want. Do this from the Screens section of your control panel for that app. 2. Click on Layout, then Non-Tabbed Layout (assuming you don't want tabs), and then type in "Home Screen" or whatever you called it into the box. You can also click Select and navigate to the screen you want. 3. Go back to the Menu Buttons screens and configure at least one button so there is something to show! Now you can run your app again. If it has already been installed in the simulator, just click on it, and it should say "This apps data has changed. Would you like to refresh?" or something like that. Say Yes. Or, hit the refresh button in the upper-left corner of the first screen, and it should go out and grab your new config file, which contains the info on the button menu. Hope this helps...and works! Mark
