I have most common items in folders so that I have ready access to them.
When you launch an app from the folder, and then exit, the folder remains open and has to be closed with a back arrow or a click on the screen.
Is there a way to change the behavior so that the folder closes upon launch of an application within the folder?

You've done nothing wrong. It behaves that way hehehe. If it bothers you, you need to get a different launcher.

Didn't think I was doing something wrong, the question was is this a tunable feature?
It's an annoyance, might change launchers although, IMO as OEM skins go it isn't too bad.

No, there is no settjng to change it. I switched to Circle Launcher from the Play Store. It's very customizable and the folders don't stay open.

I'm sure it's tunable in some way if any developers are willing to add that feature, but I haven't seen any. You should request a developer and see if this mod can be added.
I'm not 100% sure if it can be done by tweaking CSC features, but you can ask in this post.

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

I think you're in the wrong forum, the Droid DNA doesn't have an ARHD rom.
I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.

In settings, I have auto add widget unchecked but every time I download a program, it adds a icon to my desktop. Does this happen to anyone else?
Thanks.
The icon isn't a widget. I don't think there is a setting anymore for not adding the icon

Though this would make logical sense, it is incorrect. The play store considers icons to be widgets. On my nexus, for example, unticking that box stops icons from being auto-added. Seems to be a bug. Alternatively, this could be something coded into touchwiz, to always add new apps to the homescreen.

If you uncheck auto-add it won't add unless your launcher(like nova) also has it's own settings for auto-adding. Nova's settings have a section called new which also has an auto add feature.
This feature is the single most annoying feature in all of android IMO.

Damn I feel stupid; my Nova launcher prime did in fact have that setting enabled. Thanks for saving me future headaches.
If I have 2 notifications from the same app, the first one disappears and the second one takes its place in the status bar. Is there a way to change this?
Do you have a ROM installed. Or any tweaking apps?

No, completely stock. All my apps are pretty standard stuff, I think the one that does it the most is the bank of America app. As I'm typing this I'm realizing that most other apps give me all notifications. So it's not all apps doing this, just some. Is that part of how that particular app was written or is it a phone setting somewhere?
I have looked, and looked, and looked, and I cannot find among ANY of the myriad Android "What is this icon??" threads spread around the world a description of this round, volume-knob looking thing.
There's nothing in the status or notification panels which seem to be connected to it, and I have no idea what it's trying to tell me.
Anyone?
Thanks,
R

Are you running some sort of sound booster/amplifier? It looks familiar but I can't remember what app it may have been.
Have you tried to uninstall apps to see if it goes away?

I've never downloaded any apps from the play store that put an icon there. Most icons that get put there are from system apps.

I have a couple - JuiceDefender and My Data Manager will put icons there, but they're configurable.

A couple, but mostly I've looked through the 'running apps' and there's really not anything in there I don't recognize (or want to uninstall). I might, if it really gets to bother me.

I don't think so... although now I wonder.
It's just the Debloated stock ICS. I don't think he stuck anything weird in there - only took it out.
Thanks for all the input!

Really, I've downloaded and tried all sorts of apps and have seen icons placed on the task bar.... Juice defender as mentioned... Battery guru... Etc. It seems like I tried a volume+ app that placed a similar icon. However I haven't confirmed that since I no longer have it installed. Usually you can opt out of having an icon placed on the bar.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 4
I'm saying I've never seen a downloaded app put an icon on that side of the bar and I'm not saying they can't put one there.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
There is a blank app icon between that icon and the other. It's not connected to the system icons. If you look closely at the spacing you can tell.
