How can i remove the link from my start menu, and COMPLETLY hide it on my home screen? I have myfaves as "hide myfaves" but all it does is hide the big circles, but i still have a small myfaves icon on the home screen.

Kill the MyFav process then remove it from the startup folder.

where is the start up folder? and how do i get the link out of my start menu.
i went thru all the folders in my phone as it was connected but i didnt see it

nevermind, i deleted it... but i still see the "myfaves" small little icon on the home screen. i think i have to edit the xml to hide that. how so?

Today screen modification

I would like to know if it possible to sort the today screen plugins.
I know how to change the order the plugins show on the today screen.
But I can not change the date position.
I would like to put the date plugin a few spaces under but its greyed out.
Does anyone have a patch or reg hack for that?
Goto the following menu,
Start>Settings>Today, then click the "Items" tab at the bottom of the screen. Here you can highlight the plugin you want to move and move them up or change their options.

works great, thanks!!!!
and for the sake of newbees (moi), can we see a pic without the top curtain? thanks
Sure,
Here ya go.
Both curtains removed
H.
Thanks. its cool
Just for info, I changed back to the default background to make it clear what the differences would be.
The default background is just too ugly
H.
Anybody manage to remove the bottom curtains? I just realise its not possible. When I tried to run the cab, it says its already installed and ask to remove it. When I selected yes, it gives an error that it cannot be removed and ask to proceed with install. I tried many times even with TF3D turned off and device restarted.
here we go. removed both curtains ...
THX
t h a n k s !!!
cool trick. anyway, if you're like me & want both in 1 cab, i did it for you. yay!

No, these are changes the the Manila files, not registry edits.
For cabs with registry edits i just use WinCE CAB Manager & include what ever registry I want in the cab file
@ xnifex, great thanks for the info

can you tell me how i can go back to having the curtain, i cant uninstall it via the usual way...
I installed this cab and now top and bottom curtains are removed on home screen ... BUT,
if I slide to another tab, [Stocks] for example, and release it, then the curtain re-appears. If i then re-grab the slider, the bottom curtain is still visable until I release it on the home screen. This is also true for sub-menu tabs. For example if I select a contact and slide over [Details] [Messages] etc.
*I just noticed that if i slide to Photos and Videos tab and re-grab, the curtain stays transparent.
I'm also interested in having the same wallpaper/background for all tabs. It is currently a grey gradient background. I checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521162 but I ran into the same problems most of the other posters. (I have Sprint TP2)
EDIT** SOLVED!! southphillysean posted "BG for All Pages WVGA.cab" on the linked thread above. This solves BOTH of the above issues to my satisfaction, but had to change clock and delete carrier logo to make it look right. (make sure cabs are installed in proprer order with TF3D off.)
Also, the pop up icon screen that you see when sliding across tabs has a shaded background. When I slide (from the home screen) it looks weird cuz the only unshaded part is the the bottom curtain. Any way to make the pop up icon screen background transparent?
Still looking for a way to tweak tab background shading.
Any thoughts?
Here are some screenshots with notes to show the curtain problem.

Removing Locked Icons

Is there a way to remove the locked icons on the TP2 on the Start menu with all your apps on it? The icons I want to remove are locked (Home People Contacts Calendar)
go to windows/start menu/programs and remove them..
i'm guessing it's the icons that start up the programs you want to remove right?

No, when you are on the home screen and you press the windows icon, all your apps will show and the their are 4 locked apps at the top. I want to remove those.
Please see sticky.

[Q] Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.

Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.
I have had my Tab S 10.5 for 2 weeks now and realised that I cannot seem to move icons on the home screen or create folders on the home screen. When I hold-drag an icon on the home screen it says 'Tap Edit to rearrange widgets, shortcuts, or create folders' but I cannot find where the menu is for Edit etc. When I hold-drag on an empty part of the home screen I get the home screen highlighted with Wallpapers and Widgests at the bottom.
I can create folders in the app list and move to the home screen but get the same message when I hold-drag an icon to move into the folder.
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Yes I will be returning it this week to the JB Hifi I purchased it from. I will make sure I test for this issue before installing any updates.
Issue Resolved!
I have just found out how to create folders for the Home Screen and rearrange app icons on the Home Screen.
I was searching videos on YouTube and came across video tutorials for the S5 which helped me, to create folders you go to the apps screen then hold down an icon and drag it to the top left where 'create folder' should be and let go, then a folder will appear which you can name and after you save it the folder appears on the Home Screen, before you save you can also press on a + symbolto add more apps to the new folder.
To rearrange icons I don't know how I missed this, press the Home button to make sure you are on the Home Screen, then down the bottom right corner next to the Apps icon there is a pencil icon for Edit Page from here you can move app icons around and into existing folders.
I contacted Samsung live chat twice about this issue and they did not know how to resolve it and I was about to take my Tabs S back for a replacement!
Thanks for the replies to my post it is appreciated.
