In Gingerbread, I could click menu button at my home screen and choose "Edit" and all my desktop screen will minimize and I can add screen or remove screen (including all widgets and shortcuts) just by dragging the screen to the bottom where it says Remove.
I could not find any way to do this in ICS?

You had probably a custom gingerbread launcher and not the default aosp launcher. The aosp launcher doesn't support additional screens, 5 is the maximum.
If you like the aosp look and feel, try a custom launcher like apex or nova, both come with the multiple home screens 5<.
A third party launcher would allow you to do this. The default launcher provided with your phone may not allow you to add more screens
Examples of launchers include ADW launcher, Go launcher, Nova launcher, Apex etc

You misunderstood my question, it was the stock (Gingerbread) Samsung launcher and the max screens is 7.
But that's not my question.
I want to know how to remove desktop screens in Ice Cream Sandwich, I can't see any way to edit them.
Please let me re-phrase my question! sorry if I wasn't clear....
I don't need more desktop screens, I just want to know how to edit the screens in Ice Cream Sandwich, so I can remove blank screens which I don't use.

How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer
Originally posted this in general. then realized it belongs here. if any admins want to delete my first one in att note general, i understand. anyway...
So if you want to have an ICS theme for your note, or pretty much any android phone, follow these directions. And if you like it, hit the thanks button
What you will need:
Go launcher
GO Locker
GO Locker ICS Theme
GO Search Widget
Ice Cream Sandwich (Theme)
Ice Cream Sandwich Clock
ICS Search Bar 2 for GO Widget
Okay once you have all those you want to go to go launcher. when on your home screen press the menu button (Far left) click themes. then select your ice cream sandwich theme. Now press the home button. then the menu button. now preferences. then screen settings, then grid size. Select "Tight 5x4" then click the home button. now hold your finger on the home screen. click widgets, and android 4.0 clock. Then position it where you want it. Now go back to the home screen, hold your finger on the screen again, and select GOwidget. Now click search and select your ICS one. now we are almost done. go back home, click the menu button, then plugins, then go locker, and select IceCream.
That's all. If you need help just ask.
I use Go sms for my texting, and downloaded an ICS theme for that. Shown in the image below.
Here are some pictures of my Note home screen:
just thought i'd add that when you are trying to change the lock screen wallpaper from menus it doesnt show the ics ones.
to change the go locker wallpaper to one that doesnt show up:
tap menu
tap plugins
tap go locker
tap settings
you can change it to the wallpapers included with the go launcher ics theme that way, change it to others that don't show up when you try to change from display settings menu, or even set it to just be the same background you use for go launcher.

Go SMS. Its in the market. They have tons of themes for it
sent from my white galaxy note At&t
ICS theme
The only problem is that's not how ICS looks. (I already have this installed.) I had it on my old phone, and the widgets are a white translucent background, and a dark bar at the top similar to how Honeycomb looks, but not identical. I don't know where these themes come up with the completely wrong look.
I just switched over from an HD2 running AOSP ICS. I have yet to see a widget for email for example, that looks anything like the real ICS one.
I admit that it mostly looks like it if you leave the widgets out.
An example of what they should look like would be the modern ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets, but the bar at the top looks darker on actual ICS ones.
cool
How can i add more app shortcuts on ics's quick place which is shown in the picture by red circle
Get a different launcher. I'm pretty sure both Apex Launcher and Nova Laucher support different dock pages.
He's Right

He's Right. In Nova Launcher you can go in settings->dock and change the number of icons like I have in my screen shot below.
Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
I have my evo 3D running ICS stock+rooted. I've tried several launcher and can't seem to get scrolling wallpapers to work. I've turned on the settings for it in the launcher prefs, but no go. Has anyone else gotten this to work with Sense 3.6/ICS.
Thanks

Have you tried apex launcher? That has multi scrolling wallpaper. It also has options to disable and enable it on home screen menu. Please do not say it don't work because I use this launcher daily.
sense
Try another launcher, or install custom rom with sense 4

Stupid me. It was the way I was cropping the wallpapers. Thanks!
