Are you able to set a home screen in the OP launcher? For example I like for my 2nd of my 3 screens to be my home screen.
Every other launcher I've used allow this but I can't figure it out with the OP launcher.
Is it possible?
1. Hard press on the screen
2. You'll see all your screens.
3. Press on the screen you want.
4. Select and drag to the position of the home screen.

I think he wants his homescreen to be the middle of his 3 screens so that there is another screen to the left and right of his homescreen. I've looked around it it doesn't appear to allow you to do this. Perhaps it's because it needs space for the Shelf.

Hey guys,
As the title says I am looking for a way to disable that stupid function when you install an app there will be automatically a shortcut added to the desktop.
Didn't find any solution for that, even using different launcher and no sense launcher.
It really ****s up my beautiful desktop screens.
Thanks in advance.

It's in the market settings ('Auto-add widgets')
you can also just long press and drag the widget up to where it says "remove" at the top of the screen. i prefer downloading the widget and then deciding if i want it visible or not.

thanks for the clarification. as i said, i prefer deciding whether it should be visible or not, rather than having them all not visible (and maybe having to hunt for it).
I normally use a blank page for this: First navigate to that page, then install the applications.
Now this page has all applications I have to try out.
It's some sort of todo page.
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is something really silly and simple that I'm somehow missing, but I'm unable to change the default home screen on the HTC One X. Is this not supported on the stock ROM without installing a 3rd party launcher? I'd really like to be able to change the default homescreen. When I say default, I mean the one the stock launcher takes you to upon pressing home.
I've tried looking all over but haven't found much. I'm guessing the feature exists because when I zoom out of my homescreen, one of the homescreens has a home icon on it, but I don't know how to change it to some other screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
have you tried to get all the homescreens on the screen together and just press the one you want and move it around? what i mean you get all 7 of the homescreens together. if you press on one you can move it in the order you want..so you have the homescreen the main one in the middle the one with the home icon well you can move it to the top and that will be like page 1 starting from left to right.. hope that helps

I understand what you are saying but I think you are misunderstanding his question
if I have 7 screens and say for instance I want to make screen 6 the home screen how does one do that (so that when you press the home button it will go to screen 6 and not to the middle screen [current home icon])
I have searched for this feature as well to no avail
Move all the features that are on screen 6 to screen 1. Duh. You're thinking in reverse. Think forward. Best o luck to ya.

I think you got it backwards that is alot of PT simple put how do you make another screen the home screen
it was simple with my Moto Milestone you just selected "make this the home screen"
I am thinking this is a limitation in Sense 4.0
not a biggy, but fundamentals are missing
Solution?
I might have a solution. I accidentally changed my home screen so everytime I pushed the Home button on the bottom it went to the wrong screen. The way I fixed mine was doing a restart from the screen I wanted to be the home screen. Once the reboot was complete, my home screen was set correctly.
/update Nope, somehow it randomly got changed again, tried what I thought fixed it above, doesn't work. This is stupid, obviously there is a way to change it, shouldnt be this difficult. I have exactly 9 days to return this phone, I am considering it with all the issues I've had.
I just saw on the SGS3 review that the home screen can be changed easily….
Each screen as an icon on it when in fan view. One is designated as home, to change, just click the icon on the screen you want to be home. Whatever tiles/widgets/apps are on that screen, its still home.
With the One X, you can have any of the 7 screens as home but the tiles/widgets/apps move with the home page (by dragging the home screen around and changing its order)
The only way to do it would change home screen and then manually change all the icons/widgets after

Does anyone know how to add more home screens? I have my M8 converted to full GPe and I don't see an option to add more home screens. I checked in settings/display and no option is there.
If memory serves me correctly, try taking an app from the drawer, hold it, and then when it goes to the homescreen, hold it to the left or right edge of the screen as if there were another page there. I think it automatically creates one if you have an app that your holding.

Settings/Personalize/Manage Home Screen Pages
Then just move to your right most page, and click the "+ Panel" on the partial screen to the right of that one.

With Google Play Edittion you can have many home screens.
With Sense you can only have max 6 (including blinkfeed). Is there any way to increase to say 9 home screens. Do any custom roms have this option?

If you want that many home screens you could always use a custom launcher like Nova. And although you can't have Blinkfeed as one of the screens there is a pretty easy workaround to make it accessible from any of the home screens.
Either add a shortcut (Activity) on a screen to the HTC Launcher after deleting all but the Blinkfeed page, or even more convenient, set the Activity as a gesture launch action.
I have 3 screens, and I have infinite scrolling turned on. On the bottom of the screen I have soft buttons to switch to each screen.
If I'm on screen 1 and hit the zooper button to go to screen 3, it goes to the middle one, then the third, but since infinite scrolling is on it could have simply gone 'backwards' and been a much faster transition like going from page 2 to either page 1 or 3, since it only 'travels' across to the page it wants.
Could the way this works be improved to take into account infinite scrolling and find the homescreen/page faster?
Thanks.

This is something you should probably suggest to the developer of Nova Launcher since this is something only they can change

I see, thanks, I thought that zooper might be able to do it itself. I'll shoot them an email.

I hate the screen to the left of my home screen, how can I remove it?
Open the home screen you want to remove, long press anywhere on that screen until you see the WIDGETS button at the bottom, press WIDGETS button, then just long press the screen you wish to remove and drag to the top to remove.
To change or add back just do the same, but instead just put a check in the widgets you want adding. HTH

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove it with the touchwiz launcher, unrooted.

What did I just post above? You don't need root or anything else to remove it. However you will have to leave at least one widget, that cannot be removed.

Your response does not make sense. You can't remove the screen and you must leave at least one widget on it.

There are 2 screens to the left, you can remove the first one easily. The last one only the widgets can be removed except for one.
Just use an other launcher...
Use different launcher. Even custom Roms have that screen. I think it is unremovable.
