arrange icons in main menu - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I uninstalled some applications and after that, main menu is empty in some points.
Is it possible to arrange icons in menu in order to fill these gaps?

If you click the button that allows you to arrange icons (the four little squares) and then exit that mode it should pull them all together closing any gaps (or you can use the mode to arrange them yourself).

It doesn't let me move icons in the gaps and it neither pull them all together in that mode.
I hope there is other solution.

Restarted yet?
Also the pull together happens when you exit that mode after entering it.

go to setting/applications/all
then find xperia home
and clear data...
it might solve your problem...

I restarted the phone but nothing changed.
It doesn't pull them together if i enter and exit that mode.
I don't know if it matters but i uninstalled the applications by going in settings-->Applications-->Manage applications--> choose application and then uninstall.

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

Press your hands on the icon and take it out of the dock, or wait until a menu appears on it and select remove.

unable to move icons

I have uninstalled some sys apps on a Xperia Neo L which has android 4.0.1. Fortunately I have backedup the uninstalled apps. Problem is I can not move the icons anymore! Which application controls that? Need your help....
PS: When I press the menu button, I can see a 5 pages of apps. In the bottom right there is an icon consisting of four squares, one of them is skewd. Now I press that, and see the screen color changes. Then I press an hold an icon. What I expect is a little virbation and then I can move the icon. In reality I dont' hear any vibration hence icon doesn't move.

Before rooting, I remember there were no problem with that. However I don't know is this miss behavior (the feature that doesn't work) is the result of rooting or removing a sys app.
Do you know?

[Q] how do you ....?

Ok I am new to ubuntu touch.
I have installed the latest saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip on my nexus 4 but i am sort confused with all the gestures ...
for example if i enter the settings control panel how do you apply a settings?
am i correct in assuming i swipe UP from the bottom and choose back? but that doesnt apply my setting.
next one is how do i go back? again in the settings panel. lets say i open the wifi screen. how do i go back to previous screen?
should this not be easy to figure out?

Ubuntu Touch is not ready yet so you have to set most of the things with the Terminal app. The setting will be fully functional in a couple of weeks I assume.

Swipe up (to open the menu) and choose back.

It's easy you've figured it out already.
I hope you'll enjoy using Ubuntu Touch anyway. You could look at the first installable applications for example and install the xda app or something else. Or you could change some things with the Terminal (look at all those tutorials at the Ubuntu Touch subforum here at xda). Or you could do even more, e.g setting up BitTorrent Sync...
Or you start writing you first app for Ubuntu Touch .
Some settings just don't work, but validation is done by back (or a button that validate, if there is)

Stuck in Ultra Power Saving Mode.

I've been using nova launcher for months and finally uninstalled the stock S launcher. Today, I went to put my phone into ultra power saving mode and now I cannot exit it. If I get a notification, I can switch to that app and get into system settings, but I cannot exit ultra power saving mode. Without a notification, I can't even turn the screen off. The home button does nothing (no launcher) and the UPSM toggle is missing from the notification window.
So, my question is- does anyone have the stock APK for the Samsung launcher -OR- know an ADB command or some other way to get out of UPSM?
You didn't say whether you looked at the full quick settings palette or just the selected tiles subset? You should find the power saving tile on the full palette. Also does the phone exit UPSM when you fully charge the phone battery?
If that doesn't work, then just download the firmware for your phone and you can extract the stock launcher with winrar.

There are no settings tiles. After I get a notification, I can pull down the notification screen (not before) and hit the gear to get the settings page. In there, there's only wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, mobile networks, location, sound, and brightness. There's no way to get rid of UPSM.
Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.
Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?

Have you rebooted? Usually does it for me.
I tried taking the battery out, restoring my SYSTEM backup from a few months ago, upgrading to a newer version of the stock rom, and nothing works.
Everything I've tried ends up with the phone going back into UPSM with no way to leave it.

If you are using TWRP there is a file manager under advanced. Use that to navigate to the /system/app directory and rename "Emergency" apk to have .back appended to the end after the .apk. This will "hide" it from the system and should disable it. Btw the name of the apk has Emergency in it i don't recall the exact name of it though.

No we can't. And the reason that we can't is that you didn't provide any details about your phone. The firmware is different for every model of S5 and carrier. We don't know if you have a 900T, 900F, 900A or some other S5 version. We can't see your phone and can do little unless you provide extensive details.
Simply go to a firmware site like sammobile, click on firmware and enter the model number of your phone. Or do a search of this forum. Then use the Odin program to write that firmware (factory software) to your phone.

I'm having the same issue on a Verizon S5. Under /system in twrp I don't see anything. Tried chmod but didn't help. Any suggestions?
Apps Drawer
Same thing happened to me. Mine was stuck in between normal and Ultra. I was able to go to my apps drawer, clicked on the gear/settings, found Power then disabled Ultra Power Saving mode there.
I had same issue and I SOLVED it.
No disable option in the notification drawer. Gear 'setting' option (in the notification drawer) only display few setting options (no disable ultra saving mode).
I solve the issue by holding down the HOME button to trigger Google NOW app. In the search bar of Google NOW app, I clicked the microphone button and said "OPEN SETTINGS". This will open the full version of setting window. If you scroll down, you will see the 'POWER SAVING MODE', click it and you will see the disable "ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE" option.
It's a unusual way but it worked.
I also faced the same issue while running Action Launcher 3. Google Now wasn't working for me, so the way I solved it is:
- press and hold the menu button (capacitive button on the left) and select "Manage Apps"
- from the three dots on the top right corner select "Reset app preferences"
- reboot
- pressing the home button showed up "TouchWiz Home", which then allowed me to select "Disable Ultra Power Savings mode"
-done
HTH
I have they same problem with S5 LTE+ on Android 4.4.4. (I hate this ****ing bad Samsung Software!!!!) The above two posts unfortunatly don't work for me because Google Now is not working and Home Button does nothing.
I will try to launch settings due adb if I find a PC to do this (Unfortunatly I'm on holiday at the moment)
Were you able to figure this out? Facing the same issue on my friends phone. Can't believe Samsung would takeover the phone like this.

Best I remember, it had something to do with disabling the stock launcher and I ended up reflashing.
thug_life_inc brought me to my personal solution. I had the problem with the Google Now Launcher. And there is the possibility to go to the app info by placing an app on the home screen, but not dropping it there, but above it (you know the area where you can access app info / delete the app).
That brought me to the settings page for the google app where i could delete the standard launching options.
I had very low battery (maybe 3 or 2%) and then i activated the ultra power saving mode. After a while, the phone battery died, so I recharged it. The problem now is that I got stucked in UPSM. Everything is black and white, I have no acces at any of my apps and the settings is incomplete, I mean I don`t find the "disable UPSM" function. I also cannot factory reset the phone, same reason, I only have acces to wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, brightness and location.
Thank you!!!!

Thank you! It worked for me!
I tried multiple methods include using microphone to trigger Google Now but still nothing in Settings. The idea is trigger the Launcher Picker. here are some notes
Wish I new this sooner, wasted a whole day figuring it out. This fix is way easier
The easy fix - just open the app drawer, drag the google app to app info and drop, clear defaults , when prompted choose you service providers origional default launcher
