Hi,
I´d like to be able to reduce the number of homescreens on the stock launcher. Is this possible? If so, how?
thanks in advance
Rafa
Press home and then home again so that all home screens appear in a tiled format. Drag and drop the empty screen you want to remove up to the top and it will go. Likewise if you want to re add it, press home then home again, then add panel.

Hi guys
I would like to know if it's possible to change the default dock apps....
I would like to replace the message app with chompsms' Is it possible without replacing launcher
Yes you can change the dock icons (except applications I think)
I replaced contacts with "Internet" and messaging with "Music". All done with stock launcher.
How?
Long pressing on any of the docked icons and trying to drag them off does nothing, and you can't drag a shortcut from the home screen on to the dock, either?
EDIT: Got it, had to go into applications and then edit from there. I'm such a tool.

Could you be more specific ? I opened "application" and pressing the dock's app now appear "remove" but even if i drag them...they're still there.
Thank you in advance
1. On Home Screen press "Applications"
2. press "menu" and select edit
3. Now you can drag any app into dock position and replace default icons
3. press "menu" again and select "Save"
All done
Sorry for the OT question, but I think it's related. Can you change icons in the TouchWiz launcher, both the 4 buttons in home and in the "applications" menu? That's my only gripe about it, ugly icons.
yeah the 4 icons at the bottom are part of touchwiz which i havent seen away to replace with other icons yet.
Seen people talking about using a different launcher which i assume is related to this in someway but im not to sure.
Resets
If I change my dock apps, it resets when I restart my phone.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks
is there a way to mod and put a folder instead of 1 app ?

Thank you.. Been searching for this for a while
I have this (launcher resetting itself after USB connect or reboot)
happening too!
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477837)
Did you find a solution?
It doesn't so it every time, but frequently when I'm in an app and I press the home button it takes me to the screen that is two positions to the right of the actual home screen. Any ideas why this would happen?

I suppose it might depend on your ROM if you have a custom one, and the launcher type you are using. If you are using Launcher Pro/Plus, from the home screen click menu/preferences/home screen settings...there's a button there that says DEFAULT SCREEN...then you pick the screen you want by number, again depending on how many scroll-able home screens you have.
Your "randomness" may be due in part to what home screen you were on at the time, I had that happen to me before I discovered to make said change in the preferences. So if you're two screens to the right, open an app, use it and then click home...you're returned to the home DESKTOP (if you will)...not the default home screen. When you boot and restart, etc...the screen the phone loads when it completely boots, generally is considered your "default home screen".
I have a stock Evo, rooted. no launcher is installed. regular sense. and I have no widgets or icons on the screen that it takes me to. so I know that is not where I started.

ahh, well I won't be of much help..I rooted my evo the day I got it and went with launcher pro plus the same day. I don't even remember what the stock sense is like..sorry. In my defense, however, if you root you now know you have the answer you need. ;-) Also Launcher Pro lets you customize the home button so if you're on a side pane, and press it..it loads the default home screen, press it again and it gives you the multi pane preview. Just so you know...
There's 7 screens, maybe you set up all your widgets etc on the wrong screen lol. By default pressing the home key will take you to the (1 2 3 "4" 5 6 7) forth screen.
Yes my main screen is 4. It's taking me to 6. However, I have paid more attention and it's not the home button it's the back button that is doing this. I'm using Folder Organizer to launch my apps so could that be why it think I came from screen 4?

Ok, so you know if you hold the home button, (for SGSexy 3 thats the button at the bottom in the middle) for a bit you get that screen that shows all the apps, and then if you press hold on one of the apps long enuff you get the option to kill it or get app info... well I wanna know if you can change that shortcut to a motion or a double tap on the home screen or something. Im kinda paranoid about always having to hold down the home button to get that screen up. If I can do it, how can I? Thanks in advance you sexy beasts.

You can probably do that in a 3rd party launcher like Nova.

Im using GoLauncher right now, and I like it more then NoVa. I dont think NOVA had it and thats one of the reasons I left.. or I just couldnt figure it out on either launcer. Ill search around some more... but what is that screen called anyways, the task killer screen... the running app screen?
Nova does have it, if you just long press anywhere on the screen, it will come up with options like widgets, nova actions, etc. Choose "nova actions", then choose "recent apps". You can then drag that to the dock, or leave it on the home screen.
Hi Experts,
First of all Marry Christmas to all of you
I have a question.... Is there a faster way or option to close all the windows after browsing the websites and go back to the default homepage or home screen ???
After done with browsing the internet. I pressed that little double square icon key next to the address bar and close all the windows one by one. Then I got a blank page (about:blank) instead of my default homepage (www.google.com).
When i press the 'Back key' it keep going back to all the websites that i browsed previously. I have to press the 'Back key' many times until i got the default homepage or home screen.
Any advice would be appreciated
Sorry for my poor english.
So are you seeking an answer as to how to make www.google.com your default web page?

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply. Really appreciated it.
Nope, i am seeking for an answer as how to close all the windows at once and get back to the home screen.
I have tried press the home key button and it does get back the home screen. But when i pressed the internet icon on the home screen, i got a blank page instead of my default homepage (google.com)
And when i pressed the back key, it goes back to the previously visited websites.....
I don't have this problem with the Galaxy S3.
yup there is a way. when u click that
button next to address bar, all the windows show up. then press option and select 'close all'. if it works, feel free to press thanks button

Hi there
Thank you for your suggestion. I have done that. And I got a blank page after closing all the windows. Is that's the way how it should be ?
I thought it should return to my default home page.......

Just pinch in the browser and close the Tabs.
If you're rooted, check out the CSC features thread over in the original Android development section, I remember seeing one for adding a quit/exit feature to the stock web browser.

Is there a way to add or remove home screens? Long tapping shows the widget, setting and wallpaper icons, but I don't see how to rearrange screens and add or remove them.
You don't say what launcher you're using, so I assume it is the stock one. Drag an icon or widget to the right to create a new screen, or when at the widget/wallpaper screen, long-press a screen to move it.
