Retroid and launchbox, home button.

Home button on retroid perfectly works with Android launcher : home while ingame brings you back to retroid launcher, which is an app, as it should…

more, remember another launcher in beta (Japanese name available on google store (y’a as han something like that lol…) that had in its options the way to manage the home button (back to front end, back to desktop)…

and last, if I launch a game from launchbox, enter retroarch menu and simply quit retroarch, it goes back to launchbox as it should…

the home button in retroarch is assigned to quit retroarch hotkey. However, it persists to quit to desktop rather than back to launchbox.

 

don’t tell me this is how a Android phone works, as retroid pocket go plus is a Android based console ok, but its home button is a real button that can be mapped ingame as start or select, it’s not a phone, hybrid console.

And when others launcher / front ends perfectly work as they should with the retroid home button. ;)
 

I’m certain this can be changed somewhere in my retroarch or retroid settings… and if this can’t be fixed in parameters, it should 😇🙄😬

No, it's a launcher, not a app, the clue is in the name, launchers have different system rights and can implement things that standard apps do not have access too.

Right, because Retroarch has no idea that there is another app running that you want to return to, it is doing EXACTYLY what it should, quitting Retroarch to the home screen.

And don't you presume to think that i do not know what the Retroid Pocket is, or how Android works. Just because it is a physical button and not a onscreen one is of zero importance they both provide the same function, they return to the OS home screen by default, Can they be reconfigured, sure, is that a good idea, probably not, how would i get back to my actual homescreen on my daily phone that also has Launchbox on it for some occasional gaming if the home button just takes me to Launchbox?

You are confusing Launchers and Apps here, they are not the same thing, and despite the name, Launchbox is a APP, not a Android Launcher.
