Hi guys, I have a note 8 running Android Pie and could really use some help.

I want to change the navigation bar for every app. I am currently able to do this with every app EXCEPT the home screen.
I have created a profile using Variable Set for events:

Variable
%WIN
Value
"Name of app window"

The home screen window name for Touchwiz is "Home screen, Page 1 of 2 Default page"
I have tried using; Home screen, Page 1 of 2 Default page Home, Home screen, Homescreen, Home
None of the above trigger the event / Task.

I have also tried using the application "TouchWiz" as the event trigger. However, TouchWiz is not listed in the applications selection screen. So it can not be selected.

How can I use the home screen as a trigger?

Use the App Changed event:

Profile: Detect Home

Event: App Changed

Package: com.sec.android.app.launcher

Enter:

A1: Flash

Text: You are home

Long: Off

YOU ARE THE BOMB!

I really didn't think I'd get an answer that fast, so I tried manually editing an application event. I had little idea what I was doing...but it also worked. However, I'd prefer doing it the way you suggested. Thank You!

I see the same thing when I update Tasker, but not every time I reboot. That must be annoying :/

I've been thinking about a solution involving AutoInput, but I don't have anything solid yet. I'm waiting for the next time it occurs to investigate.

Now that I have my navigation bars exactly how I like, would you know how to fix the prompt after I reboot the phone?
When I reboot, My navigation Icons are there, but I get a prompt asking, "Complete action using" then I choose tasker.
I have to do this for each icon in my navigation bar (Except Recent, Home, and Back).
Once I do this, it remembers my choice until I have to reboot.

Do you know how to solve?
