When the home screen is full of icons, is there any way of moving icons around? When I move an icon over another one to swap places they don't swap.
Is the only way to arrange them by keeping a slot free or dragging the icon to another screen first? Is this a bug or has touchwiz always worked like this?

I'm able to change the wallpaper on my homescreens, but how do I change the lockscreen wallpaper?
And is it possible to replace the clock on my lockscreen with another one? How?
Settings>screen>screen display for the lockscreen wallpaper. Can't help with the clock.

Found it, but the wallpaper is still the same even if i'm changing it. Don't get it, I pressed the save button.
I usually clear the defaults and go back to the touch wiz launcher... You can change it there then save ADW as main home again.

Thanks for answering. I switched back to touchwiz and pressed the + icon. on my homescreen. Went to background, picked gallery and lock screen wallpaper. Found the pic file and cropped it. Pressed the save button in the upper right corner. But the lockscreen wallpaper is still the same, I'm not able to change it.
Any answers thus far?
I too am trying to find this answer......
I usually go to Galleries, or QuickPic, open up the desired picture, and set is as lockscreen.

Funny thing is, that is what I usually did before.
But for some reason, that option is no longer there......
When I go into QuickPic and choose the picture, only gives me an option to use for wallpaper (dont even get me started on trying to find a wallpaper that fits).
So I am using Multi Live Wallpaper for my home screen, but can't find how to change the lock screen.
When I do change the lock screen through MultiLive it lets me do it.
But when I turn off and on the same old lockscreen is still there.......and actually, when I push the power button there is a very fast flicker of the lockscreen wallpaper that I chose, but then just goes to the stock screen.
I am running adw ex and I love having the option of using the large hidden dock bar as my main dock but this only seems to work randomly and I don't know how to get it to reappear again. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Thank you

i don't seem to have this problem. I just touch and drag-up on the launcher icon and its there. it does pop up when coming back to the homescreen once in a while, but thats not really an issue.
Problem i did notice tho, is that the icons on my homescreen can't be place at the left or right edge, its just a blank column that i can't put apps in, really minimizes the space i have and doesn't look as nice with everything closer to the middle. I only have this issue with EX, not the free version.
Any help there?
Are you talking about the regular "phone" dock bar (right side of screen in landscape) or the hidden dock bar (bottom of screen in landscape)? Because the regular one can be removed in the ui settings to give more screen real estate. Then there is another option to make the hidden one your main dock.

Nevermind I just assumed the main dock bar was on the side like launcher pro. But I figured out the hidden one can be set with a gesture so now mine can hide /unhide with a swipe down. The hidden one is way better anyway and can hold way more icons.

Is there a way to set up shortcuts to link to different home screens?
Say, for example, that I have music widgets on my last home screen. Rather than swiping through all the screens, or previewing them and choosing, is there a way to create a shortcut on my main home screen that I can press to have it jump directly to the screen with the music widgets?
Yes, download adw launcher,when installed, long press home screen, choose option to add 5 shortcuts to five screens.i know only these way.or maybee to modify some codes and transform the home screen dot indicators in button links.

Thanks!
Unfortunately, ADW doesn't allow me to do other things that are essential, so I guess I'll just have to forget about the luxury of linking to other screens. Unless you know how to get the dock horizontal in the latest version and get rid of that menu button in the top corner...
I am wondering, on this phone when you have no icons on your desktop it displays a "Tap + to customize this screen" message that wont go away. Is there any way to remove this message or just overlay something that is transparent so that I just have a clean desktop? Would prefer not to root.
Its just an icon. Long press on it and drag it the x

I have tried that and it doesn't pick it up, it opens up the customize screen just as if you hit the plus in the right corner.
This is how the stock home app is. Only way to get rid of it is to put a widget (even a transparent widget) or to modify the apk. I recommend you just use a third party launcher. The stock home one is crap anyway.
Nova launcher works well

Not exactly sure, it sounds like you turned on easy mode under display in settings. Change it back

You defaulted to the easy launcher goninto settings and clear defaults for the easy launcher then press home and select tw launcher. Alternatively install a different home screen app, hit the home key select tw launcher for always and uninstall the home screen app u installed previously
