Ahh, too easy. thanks mate
Sorry I sound like the biggest noob here but how do you change ur menu around? like the stuff above your 2 action buttons like (home, people, messages, mail, opera etc etc) the reason why I want to do this is to delete some of them like Twitter and Stocks (since I don't use them), I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to change it?
You mean on the home screen? If so then press Menu>Edit Quick Links. If I misunderstood sorry.
Thanks for the response, but no, I'm talking about the tabs above the button "Menu" like where it shows Start, All People, Message, Box, and you can drag the tabs to each different section, I was wondering how I can delete someo f them.
O Ok sorry. You mean Start>settings>personalize>Home Screen Tabs
Then uncheck what you dont want...I hope Im following what you mean now
There are 3 buttons at the bottom left, back,home, and recent app.
Is it possible to change the recent app button to open the task manager.
Pressing the home button for few seconds just feels too slow.
I'm rooted and on overcome rom.
I heard android is all about customization, hope this is possible.
No reply,not possible at all?
Quite a good idea
I'll have a look
It may be easy may be hard

Yeah, thank you!
I really dislike the recent app button. Its so useless n slow.
The task manager is the best way to switch app n close app.
Dear brobot 175
The main request is to have a instant access to the task manager.
which makes closing and switching task very fast and easy.
Eg. Playing angry birds, if wana exit, need to press back, tap the in game menu, exit, exit, a pop up appear, tap yes. Different app will have different method to exit. Very troublesome.
Press and hold the home button to fire up task manager and press the x is much faster and easier.
But its slow to wait, hope there is a faster way for it rather then touch and hold home button.
Pressing the mini tray is even slower so that's not an option.
Able to replace the recent app to task manager is great.
If that's not possible, I have another suggestion.
Is it possible to add a shortcut next to the screen shot button?
As far as i know, the screenshot button is not on stock honeycomb, its and added feature.
Seeing there's space for about 4 more shortcuts, adding a task manager will be super sweet.
What do you think?
i have had a play around a bit but i think the shortcuts for the miniapps are actually embedded in a java file
i cant understand much java so im kinda stuffed
i did however get the wifi on/off buttons to go in the taskbar but thats not really what you were asking i know :L
just on writing this i have just had an idea and i shall have another look at this tonight
cheerrs

you manage to put a button on a taskbar to toggle wifi?
thats amazing!!
good luck with your research.
if you can make it an app, that can put shortcuts on the taskbar, it would be amazing, and make it an app in the market.
after closer observation, the taskbar can have at most 6 icons on the bottom left. since when in portrait, the space becomes small and only can accomodate 6.
right now 4 are permanently there. (back,home,recent app,screenshot)
if can add 2 more would be nice, a task manager, and one more say...volume control? (like the one in desktop window, click once and a bar appear for volume control)
ahahaha, i am already dreaming too much.
Aha yeah you are!
Well as I've said before in have no idea how to make a shortcut to taskmanager but the volume may be possible
I have tried making an app imitate the mini calculator so you can launch it from the miniapps bar but it hasn't worked so far :L overall nothing really works right now
I did that in my ATT s2. However, i forgot how to. Can someone remind me this?
Right now the screen move left and right when swipping. Would like it locks in place.
Thanks
Looked to me like you could hit the menu button while at the home screen, select edit, and then drag the unused pages down to Remove...

I did remove all the empty screens. However the one page screen still moving itself a bit to left or right. How to completely lock? I think only scrolling wallpaper in TW in inter Note or ATT S2 can do it. Not our Note
I need some advise, i have a few questions about the phone which i have been trying to sort out without success.
1) Is there anyway to move the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen ? I cant get rid of it or move it at the moment
2) I cant get rid of the date and time at the top of the home screen. Usually you press and hold and drag up to delete
3) I tried to work around the top 2 questions by selecting a different home screen but i cant seem to do it. Is it possible ? I press and hold an empty part of the screen to select Home screen setting but that's as far as i get. Also tried pitch and anything else that came to mind. I can not delete a home screen either.
4) Icons don't fit and leave a white boarder around the edges.
I also tried a launcher which seemed to help the first three points but the icons still didn't fit
Will it still have badge counters next to the icons or missed calls on screen? What are the pros and cons of using a launcher?
Thanks in advance
