I've decided to stick with stock home launcher. It's been awhile since I used the stock so I was wondering how I can edit my number of home screens from 5 to 3. It's been awhile so I forget how. Also, how do I edit the lock screen shortcuts? Thanks.

From what I have found, you can't.

You can, but need a new home/launcher
The only way to achieve that (afaik) is through using a different launcher/home (like ADW). Hope it helps.

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."

So I've tested out the leaked versions of ICS and I'm quite satisfied with the performance and how smooth the phone operates and with most things about it in general. I was wondering however, the unlock screen for the ICS as seen in most pictures is a little different than the one included in all the leaks? Is there any info on if the unlock screen will be different in the official release?
Right now we have the ring that you have to pull up to unlock the phone or pull it towards one of the shortcuts to use them. The ICS unlock screen I am talking about is the white circle from which you have to pull the little circle from the middle to the right to unlock the screen.
The lock screen that comes with the leaks is referred to as the sense lock screen. The AOSP lock screen or ICS lock screen can be found on most custom roms, not sure if you can flash a new lock screen in recovery or something, but I'm sure someone will chime in who knows better.

You should be able to rename htclockscreen.apk to .bak and reboot and you will have the aosp lock screen. Or that's how we did it on gingerbread

You need to have root. Use something like Root Explorer and use the RW button before making the change.
I do have root, i used *su* command hence the # prompt sign instead of $

Arrgggh! Someone please help, as this is driving me nuts. I have set ADW EX as my default using Homeswitcher, but every time I press the home button, the evil TW is back.
It must be simple, but I'm missing it. Any help appreciated
first you need root and 2nd you need some kind of root explorer. then navigate to system/app choose seclauncher2 and rename it to seclauncher2.apk.bak. but keep you other launcher active.
or i think you can go to settings/apps and try to deactivate it but not sure if thats gonna work, that does not work with all apps
Go to
Settings > apps
Search for touchwhiz
Select
Then clear defaults
Press home key
Chose add as default
And boom

I have used Android since Cupcake on the HTC Dream/G1. I have used non-stock launchers for 2+ years. Trust me, this was different.
Normally, I install the new launcher, press home and then get asked which to use and set by default using the tick box. That should be it, but TW kept coming back as default. Even using home switcher, which has never failed me.

That's odd, as I have a Galaxy Note too, and that behaviour doesn't happen, even on ICS. Only the S3 confused me :-D
I have no issues using apex launcher on the s3, same as it has been for every other android version, maybe its an issue with the specific launchers you are using.
Lost my lock screen shortcuts and can't get them back. Box is checked in "personalize" settings. Any ideas?

Try changing an icon in your dock.

Are you completely stock, or have you changed ROMs/kernals/themes?

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

You're right man, switched to sense and they came back. Thanks, just have to decide if it's worth it now, really like nova. Thanks a million.

Lockscreen shortcuts are the icons in the sense dock. Even if you are running nova it will pull them from the sense dock.

Yeah keep nova installed and just make sure sense is running... A little waste of memory, but with 2gb you'll never notice.

The only thing that sucks is that too change the shortcuts i have to enable sense to change them. Then switch back to nova.

With this you can remove Rosie and still have the shortcuts I think.

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
same prob with htc one

hi... have problem since 1 day, suddenly, when i press home button i cant return to home menu, now its accueil station... i try to remove no success...i try back up my all system no success.... why im stuck with this now
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sounds like.. You simply installed a new launcher and set it as default.....
Just go to manage apps.. find the offending unwanted launcher and you can either clear defaults do that when you hit home it will give you a voice between it and the TouchWiz launcher. Or just uninstall the one you don't wanna use... then when you hit home there's only one launcher there to open.
no i have only adw ex launcher since 1 years ...i erase all other one with tiyanium but when i press home menu its show dock meny with time and soke shortcut...so when i want retur in my meny i need press back back back...so its not very funny
i try to flash with recovery my old backup and havr same same problem
