Hello everyone,
I'm using my phone with CM7 mod. I want to remove widgets and icons on home screen, trying to tap and hold specific icon, but nothing happens, phone just vibrates a little bit and that's it.. Tap and hold is not working only on home screen, in the menu it works. So please, if anybody knows the solution, i'll be very grateful for this.
Which launcher are you using?
click menu, then more and uncheck lock desktop

So I deleted a few of the HTC toggle widgets from the screen (thinking i could always put them back later,) but i can't figure out how to restore them. Anybody know?
If you are serious, touch and hold your screen then follow the breadcrumbs.
I know how to add widgets to the screen. I just wasnt finding the ones i wanted in the list. I now see that they're under the settings subheading.
Thanks for your help
for me, just long-press on the screen or press the "plus" sign, and then "add widget".
scroll down to what looks like it might be a "settings" widget, but when you press on it, another menu pops up with all the toggles, like 4g, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth. Just press on whichever one you want, and it will show up on your home screen.
If that doesn't work, then you have a problem.
Right, I have a rooted DHD running CM7 if that matters, but I have been using widget locker for a while, and decided I want to take a break from it, so I turned it off in the widget locker settings, then I lock my phone and unlock it to find that there is absolutely nothing apart from my wallpaper and my status bar, so I have tried a reboot, comes back to the same blank screen, battery pull does the same, I cannot hold down home to bring up recent apps.. And I don't really want to have to flash a new rom/restore from a backup..
So I was wandering is there a way to force start an app through ADB or similar? For example, if I could force widget locker to come up, I could re-enable it and the problem would be gone, or if I could force start my launcher I could go into the settings etc, can this be done or am I stuck with restoring a backup/flashing a new rom? Thanks in advance..
Also, irritatingly, when I hold the power button to bring up the power menu my launcher is visible for about 0.5 seconds, and I cannot interact with it, because I am in my power menu
Ok, I fixed it, for anyone who has this issue, what you need to do is phone yourself from a different phone, answer the call and then press home to bring the home screen up, go to widget locker and re activate it Phew..
Hi people, im having a little issue with widgetlocker on my samsung, when im at work and the phone is in my shorts the power button easily gets pressed, and that will trigger the unlock screen, and then if the power button is still pressed it will shut off my phone, so is there any way to disable that? Or select a new key to get to the unlock screen?
please help

There is an option in the widget locker settings that allows you to disable this.
Open WidgetLocker, hit the menu key and scroll through the settings. you should see it

Hi i allready had that unchecked, my main issue is that the power button is able to shutdown the phone while im on the lockscreen
So heres my problem in a nutshell:
When I press the home button, my phone unlocks (I have no lockscreen), however it takes me to the home screen. Whereas if I hit the power button, the screen turns on where I left off. This is the expected behavior.
If I go into S-Voice, and select "Open via the home key", the home key unlocks the phone correctly, but I have to deal with the home button lag issue.
So, how do I get the best of both worlds? No lockscreen, no home button lag, and no issue with using the home button to wake the phone.
I could do without S-Voice all together so if thats an option Im OK with it.

I wasn't happy with the speed of the home button, I took off the double tap for svoice and I'm much happier not sure if that helps you
I'm on android 4.3 and noticed that it no longer has a soft screen off button on my notification pull down menu. I loved this feature on my previous ROM since it saves me from using the hard home or power buttons.
I looked through google play store but was unable to find an app. I don't need it to lock but to just turn off the screen.
Any suggestions please?

How did you turn the screen back on ???
You could use something like power toggles, add the toggles that locks screen, then go to lock screen and set it to none.
That worked for me. I just tried it. Not sure if that's really what you are looking for.....
That turns off the screen, and pressing home button or power button turns screen back on.
Did you look at "Screen Off and Lock" in PlayStore? I think it had ability to add screen off in dropdown notification.
