[Q] I forgot how to reduce # of home screens - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi all,
I just dumped T-Mobile and my galaxy s 2. I went to att and got the same phone but sgh1777 and I want to reduce the number of home screens I have to go through with empty screens, no apps or widgets on them.
could someone please tell me how to do this? I know there is somewhere to go on the phone where you can add and eliminate the number of screens. Thank you SO much, driving me crazy.

Click the menu button and then click edit

If you are running stock I think you pinch to zoom out, and there is a way to remove them there. Or, on the home screen press menu, then edit. Its been a few months since I used TouchWiz launcher or gingerbread.

Pinch to bring up home screen then touch and hold a homescreen and a delete or remove option should come up.
HTH

I believe with bone stock TW, you cannot set your own Home default screen, I think the first one is the dedicated one.

That's with the i9100 versions. That, and the ability to alpha sort the app drawer are the differences between the two.

Were you running a i9100 based ROM? You can force the left home screen to be the default on the i777 version, or any other, it doesn't have to be middle. But the i9100 version doesn't give you the choice.

On a stock launcher you simply pinch in to minimize. You'll see all of your screens. Here if you press and hold one you can move it around to rearrange the order of your screens. You should also see an "x" on each meaning that you can delete a screen that way. Hope this helps

Swipepad: how to make it work

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

Extended Power Menu for UCLE2

I was searching for an extended power menu mod for the new UCLE2 leak. Found this thread in the skyrocket forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656580
I flashed it and it works great!
Currently running on OnlyOne YOLO B3 Rom.
*** This mod removes ability to use s-pen for screen capture and to pull up the small memo pad by double tapping the screen***
does download put it into download mode?

Yes.. everything does what it's supposed to do. I tested each one before i posted to be sure.
How do you access the menu??
Awww! Damn!!!!! I wish I would have seen this last night when I started doing the EPM myself. Following how dman did his for LC5. Thanks brother, now I don't have to suffer the headache of finishing the mod. Yeah! :thumbup:

Just curious, who downvoted and why? Did they have problems?
I think this mod changes some things. The letters on the send button of stock sms are two tier. "Se" is on one line "nd" is on another.
Two different lines. I also could not take a screen shot with S-pen or bring up S-Memo Lite . Maybe I will go back and try to finish my EPM mod.
Can anyone confirm these bugs described?

I just reloaded the rom and s-pen works now.. I hardly use the s-pen so i didn't think to try it out. I edited the origin post with this new information. Definitely work on your mod so we can have full s-pen functionality and the convenience of the extended power menu
eb8806 said:
I noticed the send button on messaging a while after i posted it. I can live with it. For some reason i have not been able to use the s-pen to pull up the s-memo app from the homescreen or to take screenshots since i started using UCLE2. I double tap on the screen and it just pulls up the apex launcher settings & when i hold the button on the s-pen and press down on the screen nothing happens. THis was before i flashed this extended power menu.
Did yours work before flashing this? I would like to get s-pen working on the UCLE2 rom on my phone.

You can change that setting within Apex settings, just uncheck the option and it won't pull the menu up anymore.
The reason why nothing works is because this flashes the S2 framework replacing the Note Framework.
2 completely different Framework.APK
Its not made for the Note.

[Q] change notification toggles

Hi,
I may be being really dense, but I can't find an option to remove/change the toggles in the notification area... I use some (like wifi, bluetooth, brightness), but have no need for ones like power saving, sync etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you are on stock rom, if so you cant. Custom roms like Omega have 15 toggle mod you can add or remove whatever you like.

Thanks for the answer
Yes I am currently on stock ROM - I used CM9 nightlies for ages on my S2 but didn't like them as much as the S3 stock. Maybe I'll try Omega (have recently installed the kitchen part of it anyway)
Would you say Megga is better than CM in your opinion?
It's impossible to say if a rom is better or not. I've been using AOKP roms on my galaxy S II but I can now say I like original Samsung roms more on the S III, I even use touchwiz which would've been unthinkable on the S II. I'm on Omega Rom. It's basically stock but with upgrades. Been using other roms for a few hours too because Im a flashaholic but keep Nandroid-ing back to Omega. First time Samsung did a great job on interface IMO
Well that sounds good, I'll give it a go later, thanks
Out of interest, does Omega have the ability to cancel an app by long-press of the back key? That's something I miss from CM9...
Fyi, here's how to change/remove the toggles...

No, it doesn't but as you probably know, long press home and press Task Manager let's you kill tasks.
I liked the idea of long press back key, but was never happy with the execution - I was constantly killing apps that I didn't want to by tapping back too quickly. Clearly CM wasn't checking that you were holding back, but rather that it was pressed at the start and end of a certain time period.

Thanks for the reply... I actually used it a lot with CM9 and found it very useful, but not the end of the world to not have it!

[Q] soft keys broken - any rom options?

My sister's Samsung Vibrant has problems: The soft-keys(I mean back,menu,etc) are not working. Is there any rom for Vibrant that has on-screen (software?) buttons like Galaxy Nexus?

Yes. There may be a zip file. I'll see if I can locate it or whatever I'm talking about after dinner.
Update. Scratch the previous entry in my post. I wasnt able to locate a zip. Maybe it was a build.prop edit. At any rate, I can confirm that Paranoid Android has them. Its an option under Settings>System>Navigation Bar.
PA is an amazing ROM btw.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
There are also a couple of apps that put virtual buttons on your screen. I'll try and find the link, here you go http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...tICIBQ&usg=AFQjCNEF1MSo1VBHfVuIQ7sWBpWikJp_8A. That is a root version, if your sister isn't rooted then just Google. They have versions that don't need root access too.

[Q] Lock Screen Widgets 4.3?

I have a Verizon Note 2 with the 4.3 Update.. How can we apply widgets on the lock screen is that not built into it on this update?? I saw some other devices have it..
Thanks in advanced.
If rooted, you can use x posed, and a module to activate it I believe. I am on a custom rom. Maybe look into that route?

I had to go to settings -> lockscreen -> then check on allow multiple widgets. Then go to the lock screen and swipe to another direction and there should be a plus sign. Click that and you can add your widget. The functionality is built in and Xposed isn't required unless you want something like the Always Maximize Widgets module to keep the lockscreen widgets always expanded.

No I am using Verizon, but I am using a custom ROM. Haven't used stock in forever, so not sure if there is a menu subsetting.
Yea, I think you are right, I am going to have to root it to get the Multiple Widgets on the lock screen.. Sucks that verizon didn't put that feature in on the 4.3 update.. Everyone else's note 2 got em.. lol..
