How can I get rid of the " Tap the + above to customize home screen" I tried adding a widget and then removing it but it comes back
Related
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..
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 really want to use Go Launcher, but have one issue. I want when I press the home button that it takes me to my middle home page. For example, let say I'm on screen four, I then go to an app, I then want to go to my HOME(main screen), when I press the home button, it takes me to the last screen I was on. I set the home screen up in the menu. Any advice? Thanks!
Try double tapping the home key

Under Go Launcher's preferences, the Gesture section, there's a setting for Home key action... set this to Function and then select "Show home screen, then overview" (or just "Show home screen", but I prefer the first myself). Then it will work ROUGHLY as you expect: a single tap of the home key while in an app or app tray will still bring you to the last home screen you were on, but tapping it again will bring you to your middle screen (and a third tap, if you selected the option I like, will show you the overview of all your home screens). FYI, I think you also need to disable S Voice's shortcut on the home key for this to work as well (it's in the settings inside S Voice as I recall).
Good afternoon,
I'm s-on running Viper 5.5.1. Suddenly, I'm unable to add or remove any existing widgits. I noticed it because my clock was gone.. tried adding it back but longpress on home gets nada. tried removing existing widgits, no dice. they won't even highlight like normal when you press & hold. I've tried wiping cache & dalvik but still no worky.
any ideas?
Thanks

press menu on the homescreen.
The menu should pop up from the bottom, now uncheck "Lock Workspaces"
Next time just ask the the thread, lots more watching that than the Q&A.

well, I meant the capactive buttons.
You mapped the menu key to one of them, to a short, longpress or doublepress action.
You can check in VenomTweaks-Buttons. If you have no button mapped to menu, then do it there.
Now go back to the homescreen and press the button action you mapped the menu to.
got it. thanks brother
