Some ideas? (Home screens) - Desire General

Howzit guys,
So, I have had the Desire for around a month now. Rooted to Froyo 2.2 (Leedroid 2.0)
So far loving the phone. But with 7 home screens I have two screens empty.
What do you guys use all the screens for?

......Widgets

Well, yes....that's the idea, lol.
Let me redifine my question: What widgets are people using these days?

Phone not displaying date on lock screen

When looking at the lock screen my phone doesn't display the date. Its cut off. All I see is Mon. May and the very top of the actual date. Anyone else have this problem? Wasn't like this any other time.
Edit.. didn't see any other posts when I started to post this earlier and didn't finish. Now that I did I see others. Mods, feel free to delete.

it does sort the apps menu... hit menu, edit , sort , save... and the lockscreen thing is easily fixed by swapping fonts

Yeah, those are real important features...
So how do I fix this problem?
Change the lock screen font, the same answer in the other dozen threads about this...

well yes they are... lock screens can make or break a phone. even windows 8 will have a customizable lock screen. Widget locker comes the closet to the best but samesung is awsome lock but needs widgets....
Just read through the threads

If you mean home screens, actually not. There are 7 home screens, and you can't control it. You can install another launcher, if you want

Thanks a lot, I'll go through the forum to look for launchers but let me share with you the ideas that hit me even before thinking:
1- will Sense be still there installed ?
2- any launchers you recommend ?

No, sense will be installed anyway. You can uninstall unused things using root uninstaller (Only if you have root[be careful]). What about launchers, try looking "LauncherPro", and, ADW launcher EX, i think, it's the best now.

The stock 4.1 launcher has 5 homescreens. You can't add or remove screens. The "pinch and zoom" you describe is not a feature in stock Android (never has been), and is often added by third-party launchers.
You can download one of the many popular third-party launchers in the Play Store. They offer these features and more if you'd like them.
There are many different launchers that change the way your Android phone look and interact, but if you like light weight and fast, try the Holo or Xperia launcher, link in my signature.
WELCOME to the world of Android. Don't forget to read the first sticky thread of this Q&A section.

Personally, I recommend Apex over Nova. :thumbup:

Andriod has so many options for everything, Try as many as you can to find whats best for you.
Apex + Nova launchers are a good place to start if the stock launcher is not for you.
this is how you delete extra homescreen
I have a tab 2, this Samsung ui is great I see no need to replace it, here is how thou remove the extra homescreens, lay 3 or 4 fingers on the home screen and bring them quickly together like a pinch, try out till you get it right, you can thrn hold and drsg the uneeded screens to the garbage can. Ez pleezy.

This thread has been dead for 6 months and you bump it to say that? Something that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread?

I must agree. This was exactly the answer I was looking for, for my Note 10.1, and I think it was exactly on point for this thread. Too bad it wasn't answered sooner.

[Q] 3-page wallpaper resolution?

So, if you have only 2 pages on your main screen on the HOX, and use wallpapers like these, you'll see that each word will fit each screen (so, on screen 1 you'll have the word "FAVS", and on the 2nd screen you'll have "HOME").
Is there any way to do this for 3 pages? I wanted a "FAVS", "GAMES" and "HOME" wallpaper, but every way I put it, the words keep overlapping to other pages (for instance, in the middle "GAMES" page, you would see the S from "FAVS").
Thanks in advance.
Guess making 4 isn't an option?

Make it 4, then. How would I do it? Without having the words overlap the other pages, what would the resolution and disposition of the words be?
Is this actually do-able?
You could try to make a widget on every page you need which says "favs" or whatever using uccw.
That way the wallpaper would onmy be a background.

Heh I thought of that just as I refreshed the page to read your comment.
But still, would be nice to be able to do stuff like that in the wallpaper.
For now I'll stick with the widgets then, but if someone actually knows how to do a wallpaper with any number of pages (except 2, that one's easy) that don't overlap each other, please share!

So I just tried that, and that's EXACTLY what I wanted. Thing is, it's laggy when moving between pages.
I've even changed the "Maximum Memory Usage" setting to "Unlimited", to no avail.
Any non-laggy alternatives?

Question Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 question

As the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has two home screens, is it possible to set up 2 different home screens using Nova Launcher? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I, too, have been trying without success. It is annoying when I have my large home screen looking great but the smaller, closed screen, looked squashed. Here's hoping someone picks up on this and makes it possible!

I think it's a limitation of android not yet optimized for multi screen displays

You are more than likely correct. We will have to wait until more companies start making multi-screen mobiles.
Thanks for replying!
