Do you guys change roms alot and find it buggy to complete the setup wizard everytime?
Well, there's a solution to skip it easily.
First, You should be on a fresh install, or just do a factory reset to test if it works.
Now, This Works on CM7 Roms Only.
When you boot your new rom, there is a text saying Welcome to "your device model".
And, To continue you are supposed to touch the Android to begin.
Well, Simple Way to Skip It.
Just press the four corners of the screen, below the status bar, and above the touch buttons in this order:
1) Press top right corner below status bar.
2) Press top left corner below status bar.
3) Press bottom right corner above the "Change Language"
4) Press bottom left corner above the "Emergency Call"
And Now, your phone has directly skipped setup wizard and is at the launcher.
Nice find. Although I haven't install any CM7 ROMs lattely but I may try someday

Hey guys, it seems my x10 has a dead spot in its touchscreen. It just doesn't recognize when touched in the right top corner. It is actually exactly between the middle and the extreme right of the phone. When playing chess for example, there is a piece I can't select, tried everything without success. Is this happening only to me or not?
No it is happening to me too. Right where the magnifying glass is on the market app. Top right hand corner...

Same here, I tougth that's just mine...dead on search button in market.
No, the search in the market is fine for me, it is exactly another square by its left, and even after pressing hard or for long tries I get it to work, it just doesn'r respond.
I'm having the same problem,exactly on market search button.Started happening after 2.1 update....
ON lyk screen press
menu back back menu back menu menu back
if u using 2.1 den press home button inplace of menu
chek in service tests/touch screen
spot by yewrself whea ur self phone has dead touchh
Yes, I know this test, but it doesn't do it justice, it draws in the spot when you touch right before the dead part to just after it
when in market, i have to press search at least twice for it to function
I'm having a similar problem.
The top row of QWERTYUIOP doesn't work on the default android keyboard, but it works absolutely fine if I select Korean!
On the home screen the section is also dead & I can't use apps that occupy that space, so I have to go down to the drawer and select it from there. But if I want to use that spot to scroll between my homescreens, I can drag perfectly fine, or drag shortcuts there perfectly fine. On the keyboard if I drag I can highlight the nonworking keys, but I can't use them.
It is especially irritating on dialog boxes though.
I went into PC companion & I did a repair install of 2.1 (AT&T grr) and it didn't fix anything, just now I'm inconvenienced in that now I need to restore all my apps.

I've sent mine to the warranty, and they gave me a new one working. The new x10 had a dead pixel, then I sent it to the warranty again, but after a year (on the last warranty day), so they would not have any x10s left, and it worked, they gave me an Arc
Got my S2 today and love it. But I have a few questions.
1. When I delete items on my home screen and don't add any I get this dumb message that stays on the home screen that I can't get rid off it say
"Press and hold this page to add content"
Well I don't want anything on their, so how do I get rid of that?
Thanks..
Never seen that .
Home screen remove app
Edit
Drag icon to bin

Also how do I rename a folder in the app drawer? I've tried everything and I can't seem to get it....

Click to collapse
open the folder and long press the name and an edit box will pop up
When I do that it just drags the folder to the home screen. Its a folder I created to put all the bloatware into. I want to name it bloatware, but all it says is folder 1.
Edit
Add Folder
Drag Folder to Page
Enter Name Box Opens
TYPE NAME
Yes
Close
= named folder .

I have a different question re the home screen - can you set screen 3 to be the default screen the phone goes to when you press the home button? Kinda makes more since being able to scroll a screen left or right.. starting at 1 means you can only go one direction..

I'm sorry, what?? What are you talking about? Your post is so incoherent it's frustrating. How does this have anything to do with what falcon26 was asking?
@falcon26: This is apparently another one of AT&T's "bright" ideas, and I agree, I hate looking at it. I wish those fuktards at AT&T would stop wiping their stinky, sh!tty codemonkey fingers all over my device. I can't wait to get my Otterbox commuter so I can cover up the stupid AT&T logo on the front.
Ranting aside, I don't think this message displays on blank pages of the international variant of the SGH-i9100 (someone correct me if I'm mistaken). I'm sure there is a way to remove it, but I'm not sure what that is. I would definitely appreciate it if someone would chime in and offer a permanent solution (i.e. what code/picture to remove from whatever .xml/launcher file/directory, etc.), but in the mean time, I have a band-aid that works around this and ultimately accomplishes the same thing.
1. Go to https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hk.sticky
2. Install Sticky Widget
3. Add Sticky Widget to the screen you want to remove the "Press and hold this page to add content" message from.
4. When you add the widget a preferences screen will pop-up. Set the background to "Transparent" and press "Set".
4. Presto! No more idiot message. Just be mindful of where you put the widget so you don't press it by accident.
@micks_address:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu button.
2. Press Edit. Thumbnails of all your homescreens will then appear in a matrix, with the "Remove" trashcan icon at the bottom.
3. Press the Menu button again.
4. Then press "Set as Home".
5. Press the thumbnail of the screen that you wish to become the default Home screen.
6. Press "Done"
7. Done

This does not work for me (have the same question), in step 3 I press Menu and nothing happens.
I am on stock KI1 ROM.
Reasons why people hating Touch Wiz 4?
When you flash any custom ROM, sometimes there is a problem with setup wizard! When you choose any language in Setup wizard it gives "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" when you press OK, problem comes again??? It's Guide to solve your problem! I found solution of this problem
When you are in Setup wizard don't touch anything! Then one after another clockwise since the left top corner, press the most top left corner, then the most top right corner, then the bottom right corner, and at the end the bottom left corner!:good:
When I find spare time I put the photo instructions!
Is this working?
Can anyone verify that this is indeed working?
This is a joke. I tried and didnt work
its working
today tested in rr rom in htc 816
Weird but it worked! thanks man!

thanks man...............u helped me ...........if u think that it is a joke then try it once for yourself, u will see that it works
Actually, it is a command to skip the setup wizard.
Thanks man again.:good::good:
Goddammit!! It really works!! I was fiddling with my phone for more than 1 hour but could not find any solution as I was unable to access the settings app!! You are awesome!!!
:good::good::good::good:
Waw didn't think it would work. Make sure the top corner you are clicking underneath the top menu so you shouldn't touch the top menu
After a day of trying I have found out!
1. Device must be off (duh)
2. Push the pin in and hold
3. Put 4 fingers on the screen
4. You may need to tap each finger. Maybe not. To be determined
This is what I did. I may have done. But there you have it.
Let me know what works for you!
What I found works:
Power off (obviously)
Hold the reset button until the LG logo appears
Quickly tap at least 3 times. It has to be in opposite corners. Eg: Upper left, lower right, upper left. sometimes I had to tap more often.
Heres a video:

But I've been doing it by drawing a diagonal from top left to bottom right.... Kinda the same as yours.
Cheers!
you save my watch!!!
than you!!!!!!
Or you can just swipe from the top left corner to bottom right while its at the book logo. Works 100% of the time and is the official method.
I have TF300 with Katkiss 7.1 recently installed. All seemed to be working fine. Last night I wanted to try 'night mode' . Not seeing it in settings, I installed a bluelight filter app.
Right after installation and turning it on, I found that the navigation bar changed from on the left: 'back', 'home' and 'overview' , to having 'back' on left with an up carat to left of it only when on home screen, 'home' and 'recent on left, and on right: 'overview' and 'previous app'.
Also, I have lost the ability to go to apps drawer by swiping up from bottom. I don't know any way to access any apps other than those on home screen!!
Uninstalled the 'bluelight filter' but that didn't change anything.
I have used the 'system UI tuner' to move all buttons back to left, but still have that carat to left of back button.
Tried powering down and restarting, and booting to recovery.
I installed Nova launcher. Swipe worked once, then failed next time I tried to use it.
1. What is the carat to left of back button about?
2 Is there no other way to access app drawer then 'swipe up'? Is there a way to get 'swipe up' to work again?

Seems like the app corrupted something in the system, best thing to do now is to dirty flash your current rom, just flash and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.

I sort of thought I might have to reflash. unfortunately, it hasn't helped. I flashed the 7.1 ver 20 over ver 19, along with supersu and gapps pico. still can't access apps drawer, and carat remains next to back button.
i have installed Nova launcher. set it to use desktop icon to access app drawer . this seems to work. and the carat is gone.. what is the carat about?
any idea what the carat to left of back button is about? just curious.
Unless someone has a better idea, I guess i'll have to wipe, format, etc. then have to reinstall all apps. that's a pain.
