After each rom flash I have to reset all of my home screen buttons, folders and widgets. Such a pain! Is there a way to backup your home screen layout to avoid this? Btw... I'm using livehome if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!!

My backup pro does this. I don't use it to backup apps anymore just fonts icons and app/home settings. You run it reboot, sometimes you have to kill your home app and restart it then all your **** is back,poof.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Back up: /dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher
This is where the database for where all the apps in your app menu are located also the icons on your homescreens.

ADW.Launcher has options to save your Settings and the Icon Layouts to a file on the SD card.
Titanium is another option. I've used it to restore my ADW setup a few times (before I noticed that a backup option was integrated into the app itself).
Ahh Android...Multiple ways to accomplish the same thing!

My Backup Pro can backup all your settings and home screen layout as well?
Which options do you select to make it do that?
Sorry for noob question, I've just got MyBackup Pro... haven't played with it too much

I accidentally made htc sense my default but I like go launcher a little better. How do I make go launcher my default again? I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it still doesn't ask me which launcher to use when I hit the home button. Does anyone know how to reset which launcher I want to use.
Thanks.

Home Switcher from the market will do it easily.
Download home switcher from the market. Then you can switch back and forth any time.

Go to settings/applications/manage applications/select the 'running' tab @ the top find and select "HTC Sense" then scroll down and click the 'clear defaults' button.
Next time you hit "home" it will ask what you want to use and if you want that program to then be the default

What ROM are you running at the moment or SE firmware?
That can determine if you can get the app drawer back or not?
And, how did you delete it?
Andriod 2.2.1
andriod 2.2.1 cyanogenmod 6.1.1
Or simply reflash or backup apsa on astro and restore.

What launcher are you using bro?
Can you try long press on the dock menu? I think you see there open all apps drawer or something.

I've done this plenty of times, im using adw Launcher so this could be different for other launchers
Long press on your home screen, Launcher actions, then select open/close App Drawer.

i have seen in adw launcher but cannot find open/close appdrawer i have too much games and other data so cannot change my andriod
Easiest way would be to install a different launcher.
I believe you can also add a shortcut of the app drawer.
I have always liked using go launcher but I recently started using sense instead. I love the weather lock screen. The only problem I am having is that I don't know anyway to save my configuration. So if I change ROM's I have to reconfigure all of my screens the way I like them. Is there a way to back up the way I have sense set up? If anyone knows how to do that I would be so excited to learn. Thanks for any help.

Just do a full nandroid backup with ROM Manager... It will save everything and you can revert right back to where you were... Restore it after playing with ROMS
I use Titanium Backup, and it will back up your Sense homescreen settings (widget/icon layouts and such) under "[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS] Settings 2.2.1." TB is an EXTREMELY helpful app, especially if you plan on doing a lot of flashing. It will let you easily backup and restore all apps, app data, messages, settings, and all of that other fun stuff. Definitely worth the $5 for Pro.
My backuppro works well for what you are describing.
Thanks. I have TB pro. I just didn't realize that it would save my screen configuration like that. Thanks for the help.

No prob!
Running Evil Fascinate 3.6.
The idea of screen capture is kinda cool, but for me it's a nuisance I don't use intentionally. The times I accidently do it, it messes me up in the middle of something. How can I disable it? I want to make sure it won't screw up the camera or anything.

use titanium backup, go to backup/restore, scroll down to screencaptureservice (in red text), press and choose freeze. This disables it without uninstalling it.

I thought about that, but just wanted to make sure that's how to do it. Thanks!

Just thought I'd share a bit of personal experience.
Those of you who have root access in there devices may have noticed icons missing on there home screens. If you are wondering why this is due to using Titanium Backup to move apps to the SD card. This only happens with certain apps, usually only the ones that can't be moved from the devices settings. To fix this simply move said apps back to internal storage and all will be well.

Other "move 2 sd" apk
Not just Titanium,i use Link2SD and it's the same,or force apk not 2 work,or widgets,just restore apk 2 phone.
BTW some task killers 2 can force widgets not to work 2.
I haven't had much experience with other apps like Titanium cos I'm very new to smartphones and my Arc is the first REAL smartphone I've had. Thanks for your info. I really have so much to learn.

lost icons found
The homescreen loads before your SD card. To get your icons back;
go to SETTINGS...select ALL
select the launcher (in my case SENSE) and force close.
The launcher will restart and all your lost icons should reload properly.
i am having this trouble too
haha didnt knew what to do thnx guys.
