[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
i got it looking good.! i would take a screen shot but i havent Rotted. waiting for 2.2. got everything but is any one having issues with the "Messaging App" the one that shows you email and text and gives you a preview. i cant get it to work says problem loading widget? any one know the deal.......press and hold on home screen,widgets,messages then select all messages and click done.

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?

Go SMS question

I just recently switched to Go SMS from Handscent. Mainly because it has been taken off the market. Anyways, Go SMS is fine but I have one minor gripe. When receiving a picture and opening it, it opens in its own stupid viewing program. I hate it cause it downsizes the picture super small forcing you to hit the zoom button 5 times to see it. So far I just hit the save button then open Quikpic and view it there, but is there a way to make it just use Quikpic straight from the message like all other message apps do?

Settings/MMS settings/preserve image resolution. That might solve your image size issues. Don't know how to get it to open in another app for viewing. Suppose you could long press the image.

yeah that didnt help. I see handscent is back on the market maybe i will switch back.

I use go on my EVO and I dont notice any decrease in res I long press message then save attachment to sd

I didn't want to start another GoSMS thread, so:
Does anyone else use a custom ROM and your SMS notification no longer lights up after receiving a text in GoSMS? I used to get a blue LED, flashed ACS ICS v4, and now I can never tell when I get a text!
Thanks!

Ics is still under development this might be just a bug but just in case check your setting there are a lot of custom options for led settings

Same applies though could be a rom specific bug my wife has gosms with cleangb rom and no problems.. Tinker around with your setting for GO SMS and even double check native SMS settings for any conflicts

I have the same issues with my GO SMS. I'm also on ACS ICS V5.1. I think it's just specific to the rom itself. I just switched it back from blue to red led flash. It's not blue, but at least it still notifies me.

I have GOSMS and running ACS ICS 5.5. Changed my LED to blue and it lights up and flashes just fine. I'm sure it's in the settings but when I get a MMS, I recieve notification from GO SMS and the Stock Messenging app. I have GO SMS set up to turn off all other notifications but MMS still comes through on both.

facebook notification on lockscreen not showing

Dear friends,
My facebook notification on the lockscreen is not showing. I can confirm I do have notification such as reply or friend request when I check via facebook apps.
I am using an arc, 2.3.4 stock Rom. Rooted though via Zeus n also supercharger installed.
I do get other notification example new sms.
I have tried removing facebook account from my arc then re register. Have also tried removing sony from facebook privacy setting.
I really am running out of idea already. Any of you guys can help? Oh, by the way I did remove some apps from system/apps. Is there a particular file need
Last but not least, facebook inside xperia's other function like sharing n calendar sync seems working as usual.
Thanks for any help....

I don't think those notifications of Facebook are supposed to work on lock screen.. It only shows sms/calls...
Not sure though..

I remember there used to be a notification across the centre of the lockscreen, but haven't had it in ages, so can only assume that it was lost during updates. Didn't really notice till you mentioned it but your right it was there previously

Seriously, we need this sorted out before it cause real world havoc he he he.... Becoz all this while I have been using the lockscreen to quickly see if I got any facebook notification
Can it be facebook's latest version?
Scratch scratch scratch

you must have enabled FACEBOOK INSIDE XPERIA in settings under sony ericsson...
otherwise wont work.

New message notifications in status bar - PRIVACY?

Hi,
I'm using stock ROM and stock messaging app and have selected in the options not to display the name or content if new messages in status bar but it doesn't work and still displays it!!
Any ideas please?

Is it any surprise I'm getting rid of my one x literally less than one week after buying...have been quite disappointed with the one x and 52 people read this without any response or confirm if they have a similar issue or not...it would have took 30-60 seconds!
Should have stuck to Samsung's...we'll unfortunately I've already sold my s2 so i guess it'll have to be the new beast s3...
Thanks to those a few that did help on a few things but generally the one x forum is a little cold for me compared to the Samsung just like the HTC phones!

The problem you posted is a little obscure, I've not seen it mentioned in any other threads, perhaps nobody has come across the same issue yet? If people don't know what the answer is then they won't post. The fact that it had so many views and not one response suggests that this is the case and it's not a case of the forum posters ignoring you.

Are you talking about the option Messages--->Menu--->Settings--->Notifications-->Notification Preview, untick the option but the message will still be shown if you pull down the status bar??
From testing on my phone, when you untick the option, and get a text message...I get no preview on the lock screen, the message icon on the status bar (with no preview) but the message is there when you pull down the status bar. To truly get rid of it (no message in the pull down status bar) is to disable Received Notifications but that's counter productive as you get no alerts!
I will test on my Xperia Arc (when I get home from work) and see if it does the same (I have a funny feeling that it will do the same)
I beleive it maybe a generic Andorid thing in terms of messages appering on the pull down status bar (perhaps the more experienced guys and clarify)

Hi thanks that's correct...i still see the preview when you don't with the same settings!

It's not that no one has anything to say, it's that no one actually cares about the preview - it's MY phone so I want to see the messages. Do you share your phone? If not, it's a complete non-issue IMO

So you still see the preview on your lockscreen? Or in the status bar? Because that setting doesn't change the status bar preview, just the lockscreen one. But if in the Personalize settings you have the lockscreen type set to notifications preview, it'll show regardless of the messaging settings.

Use GO SMS Pro or Pansi SMS from the Play Store. They're far better then the default SMS app anyway, you'll find many more actually useful options along with your privacy setting, and they also have individual settings for specific contacts, so you can choose only messages from a certain contact to not show in the status bar, if that matters. Works both while using the phone and in the lock screen. The individual settings feature is included with GO SMS and is a plugin for Pansi SMS.
And don't be so impatient. It's not that everyone who reads a thread has to have an answer and reply. Don't go by how many views the thread has got and wait a day or two. There have been so many threads I've read for which I don't have an answer. It's not that people don't care, they'll most certainly help if they know how or have experienced the same thing. Almost everything can be solved, being impatient won't help. Similarly, why would you want to be hasty and get rid of such an awesome phone, that too over such a tiny issue? IMO, phones should only be returned if there's a problem hardware-wise. Not because of app-related problems or operating system problems. There is almost always an (often better) alternative for these things (apps & ROMs).

Hello, problem will remain if he keeps the stock app.
I had two notifications using handcent SMS.
I had to disable the notification from the stock app and only activate handcent notifications and it works perfectly now.
But the stock app is always living by its own without notifying me anything.
You have different notifications : mails, SMS, facebook, twitter, etc.
Which ones are still remaining ? SMS ? Mail ?
And then you also have the reports from sending SMS, this should be also disabled
or you will have receive reports for each SMS you send ...

[Q] Some issues with CM10 (Google Now & lock screen)

First, I know this is my first post. I've searched for answers the past hour all over this site and the internet but can't find anything. I successfully rooted and put CM10.1, nightly 12/27. I chose that one since I saw many comments saying that they are having the least issue with that one. Here are some problems I'm having:
1. Google Now is not working. I installed GAPPS twice to make sure it didn't mess up the first time but still no luck. When I hit the microphone icon, I get an error that says "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped". It disappears real quick.
2. I think I may not have all options available in my lock screen settings. After reading up online on what you can do, many people are able to add things like weather, news, etc in their lock screen. All I see when I go into the settings is Screen security, Battery status, Slider shortcuts, and Button actions.
I'd appreciate anyone's help.

Google now works fine for me. On the lock screen swipe down on your clock widget and you can swipe left and right to add more pages and widgets

I'm only seeing 4 available widgets...calendar, digital clock, gmail and messaging. I have a lot more than that on the phone.
As for the Google Now, if that doesn't work, could that be a problem with the nightly update that I used?

I'm using the illusion rom and the gapps linked in the op and it works. You can't put all widgets on the lock screen. Apw and beautiful widgets is what I'm using

Just uninstall Google search and reinstall it from the play store.

About the widgets, you can only add the widgets that are designed for the lockscreen. You need to mod the guts of the ROM to allow regular widgets to be placed on the lock screen.

I couldn't uninstall Google search but I updated ur and it started working. I don't know why I didn't even think of that. Thanks a lot.
As for the widget...so which one did bfranklin a few posts back use? When searching for widgets I wasn't able to find out whether they can be used for lock screens or not so I'd like to try one that works.
I noticed just 1 more issue. I set led notifications for my texts. The problem is that when I get texts, the led works but as soon as my display goes out the led stops flashing.
If anybody has a noob guide for modded roms please let me know Lol. I came from an old blackberry to an android so imagine.
