I removed all home screen pages on my S2 as you can see in the pic. The problem is, how do i get rid of the one white dot in the bottom of my home screen? It ruins my backgrounds and just irritates me.

Hi,
You can't get rid of that, as long Touch Wiz don't have an option do hide or change the white dots....
For that you'll need a launcher like Apex or Nova Launcher
And mate, you're posting in wrong section...

is there a different theme or launcher i could use, where everything is pretty much the same(the four bottom icons, etc.), but i can customize that dot outta there?
Apex launcher should be able to do it
New launcher.
Actually you can get rid of the page indicator, just edit the PNG file with GIMP. I just opened the files in GIMP and deleted the image and saved the transparent image.
There are four indicators in SecLauncher2.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/

That's the hard way...he need to add a transparent channel in gimp, then erase the color or he need to find a transparent icon and rename it ....
But, i wonder why touch wiz has so many lack of options....

Hi guys, any idea how to change the background wallpaper in the menu screen? It has always been a black background after pressing the menu button. Quite ugly looking. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes i would like to know as well how it can be done. I had once a HTC Touch Diamond 2 and the winmo had an optionto change thw wallpaper in both home screen and start/menu programs.

Would've been cool to know how to do this...
i want to know the same
You mean when you press the apps icon and it takes you your installed apps? that background? or your dock background? Dock backgrounds easy so id guess the other may also be, backup your touchwiz30launcher.apk throw it on pc use winrar to check it out res/ drawable-hdpi folder. There should be a .png in there to change it i'll check tonight if time permits..
Did it worked?
I have Louncher Pro, do I need to change it to touchwiz louncher?

adw launcher allows you to have a transparent background you will still see your homescreen pic, or u can change to any coklour you like and it also comes with themes you can download to spice up icons and layout and so on. thats the free one. there is also adw launcher ex which comes with animations and more
I want to know how to change the background of the menu's (and I don't mean the background of the app drawler as mentioned in the post above. i know how to make this one transparant)I mean al the different menu backgrounds. Now they are all black.
Hello, all.
I have tried searching to no avail.
While experimenting with different roms, I know certain roms come with the app drawer reflecting 5 apps going across the phone instead of the stock 4. My question is: Is there some kind of flashable file that can make the app drawer show 5 apps going across it?
Thanks in advance.
I use adw launcher and it can hold 5

Yea, but I'm one of the few people that like Sense. I was hoping one of the devs had made a flashable file that I just wasn't able to find.
One thing thats different about android and WM is the fact that it isn't as easy to make a flashable file for ALL ROMs. What happens is in this case for example is the rosie.apk has been modified to show 5 x 5 icons. That rosie.apk also contains some the graphics that make up the rosie (some are in another apk as well). So what would have to happen is someone would have to create a rosie.apk for each style of rosie currently available or maybe someone would create the file just for you. They could most likely do it if they new what rosie you were using. In WM it was a simple modify a registry setting or add something to the registry.
OH and just as many people like Sense as people that don't. I like it.
I have awd launcher with kaosfroyo........can't figure out how to add apps to the bottom drawer......please help.......thanks

First Post... be nice...
I really miss the "transparent" background on the homescreen icons like on the default TW on the EPIC 4G... also the truncated text is annoying. Is this a XML edit? Can someone point me into some reasonable direction for a neophyte.
I am a "lurker" on this site and have never posted a request. I have loved the support on the EPIC and now on the TOUCH. Many thanks coming your way...
if you mean the black box behind the text on the homescreen. its a png file that can be set to clear to get rid of it.
when i get home i'll look up the name and location if you want
as for the trunc. text it would be an xml edit but i don't know where it would be located.
I would love to know about the PNG. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the icon is in
system\app\TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
in the \res\drawable folder
and it's called icon_shadow.png
but i may be wrong
you could try replacing it with this (attached) and see what happens
just back up the one in there first. (or make a copy of the whole touchwiz launcher apk first would prob be easier)
i've got touchwiz deleted off my phone cause it doesn't play nice with my transparent statusbar mod. or i'd give it a shot.
Couldn't find the answer, so I'm going to ask here.
I'd like to use ADW, GoLauncher, or LPP, but it puts this black bar with 3 dots at the bottom of the screen that acts as a menu button. I'm seeing people post pics of their screens and the bar isn't there.
I'm wondering, how does one go about getting rid of this awful 3 dot bar?
There´s a patch for Sense Roms from blubber, search the apps thread here.

To disable indefinitely, if you're using a stock rooted rom, you can use this or this, depending on which version of ICS you're using.
The picture I've attached explains it best. For comparison, I've put the original foto next to the screenshot.
You can see the upper shadow right above the clock (Minimalistic Text). The shadow on the bottom is right above the nav bar.
I'm using CM9 with Apex Launcher. No other mods regarding the homescreen.
Any ideas what is causing this and/or how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Apex/Nova all have this.
There MAY be an option to remove it...haven't dug around too much.
There is a "Hide shadows" option in the Screen settings of Apex Launcher.
Sorry for being stupid.
No, no worries.
Sorry for being so lazy not to look
