Can you please clarify?? I don't get your problem...
What 'activation screen'? Which app??
the activation screen on an unactivated phone. you get it when you power on the phone. any app listed under apps on the phone. all phones come with pre-installed apps. one of these apps.

Apparently you gotta touch the four corners on the select language screen. Works on AOSP, might not work on skinned Android versions.
right (see my original post). already done that. my question is just how to launch an app.
Oh, ok.
What happens when you press home button??
Or does your phone have a search button? Maybe you can access Google Now?
no Home button usage when not activated. nothing happens. just have access to Settings. i dont see where I have access to search on the unactivated phone either.
SOLVED
i had the sim card installed still. when i bypassed the activation screen, i only had access to Settings on the phone.
take sim card out, then bypass activation screen. go through Setup Wizard skipping/opting out of everything via Next/Skip/No. at end of setup, you will see Home screen. from there you can run apps, etc.
