This is probably a very silly question but how do you remove stock homescreens on the Atrix? I only need 4, not 7. This was a very easy thing to do on my Samsung Galayx. I´ve installed Zean Launcher and I´ve been using it with 4 homescreens but I´d like to run some tests with the stock motoblur launcher and I don´t want to keep 7 screens.
Come on...nobody? This sounds simple...
If I remember correctly you have to long click on the bottom where the launcher buttons are. I'm not sure but you have to long click somewhere

With stock motoblur you can't. That's why I use custom launchers

No it can definitely be done. I've done it I just can't remember how. Try double taping the screen until the homescreen selection comes up and then try long clicking one of the screens

From Motorola forums:
"There is no way to limit the number of screens unless you use a home replacement app."

not sure if its in the right section.
When i first got my gs2 it was on 2.3.3 now im rooted modded etc one feature i miss is the ability to make seperate folders within the app screen itself not the home screen any ideas how this could he achieved on adw launcher ex or has that been scrapped since rom updates etc have moved on. just liked the idea of tidying the apps inyo relevant folders im a bit ocd with little things like that.

Organised Drawer on the market is the nearest I can think of.
It's more of an app drawer replacement I think, but will do the job.
You still can as far as i know...
From the app drawer: Menu Button -> Edit -> Drop applications onto "Add Folder" at bottom of screen -> Drop newly filled folder into app drawer.
I haven't used any gingerbread rom past KI3 so maybe something changed, but I just upgraded to ICS and the options is still there so i doubt it.
Can you not just touch and drag
An app over another one to create a folder?

On the ICS stock launcher home screen, yes. In the app drawer, no. In Touchwiz, no.
Isn't he using
Adw launcher?
Edit- NM I've just tried it doesn't work. What about trying go launcher ex I know that allows for folders and a lot more customisation.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yeah you might be right. I haven't used ADW EX since before the recent big updates though. Previously when I tried it folders weren't possible in the app drawer...
One of the major reasons I stuck with Touchwiz actually.
I'm not trying to make a versus thread. I have tried all three and to be completely honest they all basically feel the same to me- I was just wondering if there are any snazzy features in one absent in the other. I am personally using Nova launcher currently but it has stopped working on me several times on AOKP build 32. Also if anyone could give a little input for reliability on either apex or trebuchet as i've been using Nova the longest I believe.
I think apex is the best. It seems to be totally fully featured, as in a few things that come free as opposed to paying for a few extra features on nova (I can't remember exactly what the were)

I installed APEX as soon as I installed AOKP and I havent look elsewhere.
Apex bothered me with its "All, Downloaded, Widgets" app drawer setup, and I didn't see a way to remove the Downloaded tab. So I use Nova.
Apex They are great at responding to e-mails if you have any problems. I was having an issue they gave me a beta version that's not released I gave them feedback and then they pushed the beta to the play store

That part of it is a tad on the weird side, since it is not called that in the drawer
I have to be honest, I used ADW back with CM7 and just kept on using it. Easier to keep backed up even since no ics rom seems to use it so it's not a system app.
As long as I can make folders and stick five apps at the bottom I'm happy.

I feel apex is very stable and customizable and free. Nova u have to pay for more features and i never use the cm9 version so i might check it out but idk apex has all i need and plus some

well it sounds like I need to get more friendly with Apex, but I do agree that trebuchet is a good launcher. Nova has just unfortunately slipped up too many times for my tastes...
Apex ftw!
I've been playing around with apex and got my homescreens how I like them but one thing i've had trouble with is widgets. Several widgets have needed re-sizing and in order for the widget to not be chopped off i have to re-size it to where it takes up more room than it should. I have stock (240) dpi, and I played with the persistent search bar but no dice. It may just be that they aren't being sized correctly in the first place by apex i dunno...
Why i say trebuchet beats them all its because it works the way it should no issue really simple settings and doesn't too much like a custom launcher...

I use Nova and paid for Prime. It's only a little bit of money. I tried Apex and didn't like it as much. I didn't like Trebuchet because I couldn't do anything about the dock. Roll with what you want.
i didn't like Trebuchet launcher. There wasn't really that much customization you could do. Apex was pretty cool IMO but, for some reason i couldn't place down any widgets, so i moved on to Nova Launcher. It works fine for me. I haven't had any problems whatsoever and i can deal with the free version. Just my 2 cents
I like apex it has a little more options to customize things like folders and how they look. It was a little annoying how I couldn't put Widgets down from application drawer but if you long press screen you could place widget down or download apex apk and move it to system apps through root explorer and reboot.

Have been using Ollo for some time and really like the 5 horizontal icons on home screen and app drawer. Now want to try an alternative rom but would like this feature. I know I can use TW UX for the app drawer but what about the home screen?
Tried asking on the Ollo forum but guess the Dev didn't want to share how he did it, which is fair enough.
Could it be dpi related?
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
changing dpi might work yes.
in nova launcher you can choose the ammount of rows and kolomns of your homescreens and dock. But not for app drawer, but changing dpi of the launcher might work
Thanks for the input I should have also said I would prefer to stay with TW

I Dont Like that the APPS Button is on the far right corner.. Rather Have it in the Middle is there anyway to move it, without using some 3rd party launcher bar?
I just use nova launcher, you can move it wherever you want.

I would like to know to, im on cleanrom with tw launcher and id like to move it without a 3rd party launcher.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
On the standard touchwiz launcher you can't move the Apps button, you'll have to use a third party launcher. Nova or Apex launcher actually aren't bad launchers and can almost mimic what Touchwiz looks like, and do not effect overall functionality of the phone.
