I haven't find how to make my 4 screen to be the default screen when clicked on the home button.
I search before, and found that TW 3.0 have to be hacked.
So may be it is the same for TW4
Thanks for your help
I couldn't find anyway aswell. I think I've read somewhere said you can't choose the default home screen. It's always the first one
So I think that statement is a correct one

How do people change their home screen up....what i mean by this is im not able to find a option on my phone to make what i want appear on this screen like this person

I'm sure its probably a program but i dont know which one. If someone could help me that would be great ! Thanks in advanced
Search for Cookie's Home Tab
tw allows you to edit how many home screens you have, which is nice because seven just seems like too many for me. however, it always keeps the default home screen at 4, which is really ridiculous. so if I want to have 5 home screens, my default home screen will always be 4...I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution for this that is not a launcher app. which I don't really want to do because I really like touch wiz. Is there a solution to this problem or not?
also if any dev would maybe want to include something like this in their build? not sure if it is a pressing issue with anyone else I'm just annoyed by the blatant oversight on samsungs behalf.
lol.......................................
^that's not constructive.
Get LauncherPro. This will solve your problems.
cant say i figured out how to edit the default home action.
but i suggest keeping all 7 possible windows, and keeping your "home" stuff on page #4. if you dont wanna use the "farther out" pages like #1 and #7 then leave em blank, thats what I do.
Which Screen?
Which screen do you want for your home-screen? An example of how I set a screen as home.
I have 3 screens, but TW wants screen 3 to be home. I want screen 2 to be home.
I add widgets and shortcuts to screen 1 and 2 and delete all screens besides those two.
That defaults home to screen 2.
I then try to add a widget that will not fit on either screen.
TW then automatically adds an additional screen to compensate for the new widget; screen 3.
I then delete the widget and have 3 screens with screen 2 as home.
TouchwizGTG, look it up.

Just pinch and zoom out on the current homescreen. It will pull up a veiw of all your screens. There you can move them around and delete unwanted pages.
One thing I know is the Verison fascinate ( there galaxy S ) you can select which screen is there home on the tw launcher.
You might try getting one of there roms and pulling their launcher out of it and putting it in yours.
Make sure you backup your good TW launcher.
Make sure you have another launcher installed. ( just in case it dosen't work...
Good luck...

Hi guys,
It's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone on here knows how to set the default homescreen that first comes on after booting up the device. Now I don't mean just how to set the default homescreen, I have already figured that part out, and I get the homescreen I want when I press the Home button. My problem really is to figure out how to make it show that same screen when I reboot.
Hope someone can help out on this one

For me, it look really random. Usually it start on the last screen used. If it crashed need the retry option to start, it start on default homescreen. Sometime it's completely random.
Thank chadouming,
I figured it out though!... well kinda...
My solution, a very bizarre one, but works nevertheless:
- Go to desired default home screen (the screen you want to see when your device firsts comes on every time you boot it up.
- Change system fonts (I did say bizarre, didn't I?) [Settings-->Display-->Fonts]. SPB will restarts itself once you choose one and voilà! Done deal!
- When you reboot next time, and every other time after that, it will always come up to this home screen first.
If the setting changes, you can redo the above to your liking.

First, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the developers on XDA for everything you've done for my wife's new Nook Tablet and my old HTC Hero CDMA that's now running ICS (you rock jaybob)! You guys are all awesome!
On to my problems...
First, rooted the wife's Nook Tablet, did the partial debloat (worked flawlessly Indirect, after I fixed a driver issue on my end...had to uninstall it and grab it to install the proper drivers before it installed the usb mass storage device driver, otherwise ADB wouldn't see it).
All the B&N stuff is there and using Go Launcher on the "android" side. Here's my first issue...some menus (Beautiful Widgets & Astro File Manager to name a few) and a few other random apps have white text on the menu making it essentially impossible to read what that option is. I played around a little with the Go Launcher settings, but can't find anything to darken the text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Second, wife doesn't like the stock android keyboard because each letter you press the preview of that character pops up right above it. I know it's a throwback to when you had small screens and it's just a confirmation of the letter your pressing, but she finds it very distracting (I don't even notice it! heh heh) Tried installing other keyboards but since there's no way to go to the stock android settings (only goes to nook settings), I can't enable the keyboards. I tried going to the nook hidden settings and selecting a new keyboard from there, but only the "android keyboard" shows up, not the other couple I tried installing.
Last, is there any way to bring up the stock android settings options?
Swore I'd never say this to keep like sounding like a noob instead of just a lurker, but I looked around the forums and didn't see any questions that addressed my "problems" ...so if there are answers to these somewhere, a link would be appreciated.
I have the feeling these are issues that can't be fixed until get access to the bootloader/recovery and get the ability to cook custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stock android settings menu doesn't exist. Try using the Hidden Settings app to get to the most common settings.
Ahh...that explains it...was looking in the wrong forum! lol I think I was searching my HTC Hero forum since that's where I default to. The keyboard fix worked. Gonna try the menu thing later after I finish reading all the posts.
Hi guys,
I just upgraded to the latest Checkrom v4 (from the last version of Checkrom), and now, if I scroll to page 2, and hit the home button, it will take me to page 3, and not page 1 (home page). Do you guys know why?
Input is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Hi mate,
that's correct.
I'm not on Checkrom, but I'm sure that he also has the modded TW launcher.
This one has some feautre more than standard samsungs TW launcher.
It's standard set to default homescreeen 3 (from 4)
Just press menu and then preference (not settings) to get in settings from launcher.
There u can f.ex. change the default homescreen (in "Homscreens") and order off apps in drawer (in "App-drawer") and so.
Just have a look on it.
Hope I helped.

Hello Hannibal,
Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it. It makes a lot of sense, however, I am unable to find the "preferences" you are referring to when i press menu. I only see Add, Wallpaper, Search, Notifications, Edit, Settings.
Am I missing something?
I am also using Widgetlocker.
Thank you!
If you press edit, do you see yellow ball with white pin inside? It marks says 'default screen' . But im on cm7 rom/adwlauncher tho.
Flashing your galaxy, press Y to continue..
Ok I'm sorry, like the preview post says, u have to hit "edit" then OR "menu".
I don't know which launcher he included in Checkrom.
Maybe u can choose default homscreen via the preview of all screens ("edit" or just pinch to zoom out)
Or, like me, u have to press "menu". (That would bring u to the settings menu I meant in my first post )
Sorry, my fold

Ok. When on any screen pinch (or menu/edit) to display all screens. Long press page 3 (home) and move it to page 1.
EDIT: Works on tw4.5 but not tw4. In tw4.5 the home screen shows a little house/home on the home screen which you can move anywhere.

Right, but when u don't have it, like TW4, u have to change default via the TW settings (press menu>menu>homscreens)
That what I'm talking about last post.

Thank you guys for your help! I appreciate it.
