[Q] homepage and rotation question

The defy has 6. And a home page. Im not using two of them how do i remove them? Tmobile was no help. 2nd question is there something that can rotate my screen upside down. ? Thanks for reading
I'm not sure whether you can do it with the stock launcher (though you should be able to) but I know with LauncherPro you can choose the number of homescreens by pressing Menu, then Preferences > Homescreen Settings.
thanks
I gave it a shot it works well. However i just don't like the home icons. I like the ones that came with it. (3) call. The circle thing and contacts is there any way to get them with launcher pro?
Well, you can change the default icons long-pressing on them. Choose the default ones or find some nice icon online and change it
Thanks

Hi, I am using 2.2 and sometimes my device hangs and reboots itself. When i was in landscape befor then the homescreen is in landscape after auto- reboot. So technically landscape is possible, but how to switch its orientation by yourself is a other question.
Greetings
To make it go to landscape once ur in launcherpro hit the 4 square button then behavior then check auto rotate. U should b good.

No ideas on the weather and utube widgets any one. I checked task killer but there are no apps on" auto close" and preview message box still not workin... if i pay im scares it still wont work. Has any one paid for this app?

Sorry mate. It didn't work. Besides the fact it resetted all my icons and home screen to the default state, it hasn't done anything else.
Still has the problem
In one of the settings for the launcher you can choose from various docks.Also transparant. Isn't that he problem.
can you navigate me where exactly can I find these Launcher settings you're mentioning?
thanks.

Drop downlist to turn off wifi/gps/data etc? (Like CyanogenMod and LG Phones)

Helllo
Just wondering if there is the ability to install the drop down icons that other phones like like LG and CyanogenMod have? IE the ones to turn off wifi/gps/data etc. They are above the drop down menu.
It's a major thing missing from my neo.
Cheers
Wrong section to be asking...
should ask in general
goto market and download "notification toggle" its the closest thing you will get at the moment
Thanks but cannot find it in the market. You thing with the amount of customisations Sony would realise this was important!
not sure why you could not find it
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Ok thanks so I gather that is all ? Wow poor effort Sony starting to really regret this purchase
Thanks!

Anyone know the apk for this?

Widgetsoid is similar but getting the widget in your statusbar is a bit of a pain (there's a youtube instruction), but i think it's the closest you can get.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetsoid2-x/com.jim2
I'm using it, and at the moment it has a bug where the widget in the statusbar is clickable, but then shows up in your homescreen. afaik this bug is related to android 2.3.3 and is been worked on.
How to create Widgetsoid widget on notification pull down?
Create a Widgetsoid widget, go to "Advanced" and check "Notification". If you don't want to see widget on home screen check "Widget invisible"

Thanks but not having much luck.
Is there a way to port the APK some how from CyanogenMod to my Sony Neo?

[Q] Why no different sub app drawers?

Hello All,
as all know that the beta version of Android ICS from SE has been already launched and there are some good custom roms also available on the forum. But one thing I dont understand. When I had saw the preview of ICS over the net around 3 months back, it showed different sub app drawers for applications and widgetsunder the main app drawer.. But now I dont see any of the roms are having these functionality? May I know y is this the case?
Edit : Check the attachment then u'll get to know wat I am talking about..
It depends only on the launcher. I have the stock ICS launcher and I get only the folders apps and widget.

Which launcher gives u facility to actually differentiate the widgets from the apps.?? I had seen a video some 3-4 months back which said that, if any app is having widget, the widget will be displayed under the Widgets part automatically. so that user can just long click and get it easily on the home screen..
Check this video...

[Q] CM10 M2 ROM Randomly adds app icons on the home page

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that after CM10 M2 ROM is installed that it randomly adds app icons on the home page? Intermittently when booting app shortcuts show up on the home page. This happens even when I don't install an app. Things I installed weeks ago are randomly on my home page. never more than 1 at a time, but about 10 times a week!
Can anyone help? Help...
what apps?
Go to the play store menu and see if auto add widgets is checked if it is UN checked it and see if that solves your issue

Thanks - good to know were all in it... For the record I love CM10 M2. It's by far the best ROM I've tried hands down! But, the problem has come back.... :/
The earlier fix: I went in Play store a week ago and unchecked install icon on home page.
Original problem has not gone away. It still adds icons to desktop. I've been playing with it to try to get an idea for what causes it. If I have all spots taken on the home page for app shortcuts, it will remove the app I already have there and add another random one. Always in the upper left.
So, I figured out that it only happens on reboots. But it doesn't happen if I leave the previous randomly placed icon alone!! If I remove the previous random icon and put one of "my" choosing, then reboot - it will trash mine and put another one there. It's always a random one. It might be ones that I had grouped from another page (i.e. several icons in one spot using the group feature).
BUT - I also learned that if I leave the randomly placed app icon where it put it - then reboot - A new one doesn't come!!! The previous random one stays put for several reboots!!
Oh - one last thing. I'm using the customization of the Launcher Grid - the number of icon rows and columns. I have it currently set to 6 rows & 5 columns.
Do you think that is why?? (maybe too many icons on the page so they are too close and then get pushed off the edge???)
What do you think...
