Hi,
I just bought a redmi note 4 with a global rom, miui 8.
How can I change the home screen default? I looked in google and there is a solution to swipe three fingers, but it is note working.
Thanks
You must "pitch" on screen, like zoom out, two finger from middle of the screen to the edges. Sorry for my bad english

I swipe three fingers upward with medium pressure to get to the home screen manager. (If it's not straight up, you'll only change screens.)
Yes Offcourse 3 Finger Technique Really work for that Try it to solve this issue
i couldn't able to access any buttons in my redmi note 4.. whatever options i do, am getting a screen continuously with " Choose your language 1 " with the options English and Tamil.
How can i rectify this.. Please, help me out..
In miui 8.2.10, 3 fingers technique will conflict with taking screenshot.
Turn off screenshot 3 fingers gesture and notification will allow us to go into add screen and set home screen.
update:
It seems like 3 fingers pinch no longer works for changing home screen in miui 9
How to change default Homescreen in MI UI8
Using three fingers, swipe your screen from left to right. Then you can change the default homescreen from the several screens that appear on your phone.
Change screen
Just put 3 fingers on the screen and zoom in (not zoom out)
Then you choose the screen you want

I've had my sgs2 since launch but the only thing that bugs me is the default screen. Is there any chance to have the home screen as screen 4 instead of screen 1? I remember seeing somewhere it can be done but the search is useless on my phone

If your using tw 4.5 you can go to edit and drag the page you want to set as your home screen to the top (not sure about earlier versions, as I have never really used it). Other launchers such as go, adw and launcher pro all have similar options.

You should be able to select the menu button and then select edit, you will then be able to rearrange the screens to your liking.
Thanks for the reply guys, I'm using tw. When I press the home button I want the screen it goes to tto be screen 4 (middle screen same as htc sense)
I understand you can mov, them around but that still. Makes screen 1 default :-(

Hey all!
The below information is for STOCK devices (or ROM's that are Stock and not using a custom launcher)
This is a Work In Progress, so if you have any tips that you found should have been in a manual, please feel free to post these and I will add them to the OP.
I just got my note yesterday and had to Google to find things that SHOULD have been covered in a manual or quick reference that wasn't.
Please keep in mind that this is my FIRST Samnsung phone (always been an HTC guy) so I am new to Samsung+Android+Touch Wiz and am guessing that I am not the only one.

Screen Capture Without the S Pen (Thanks kimtyson)
You can screen capture without the S Pen by placing your right hand perpendicular to the right side of the screen (in a karate chop position) and sweeping left. If you are left-handed, you can use your left hand in the same manner, sweeping left to right.
Change Brightness (Thanks Boris Sidis)
Long press the notification bar and drag left or right to change brightness.

One more for giggles.
Those are pretty standard among android phones...My addition for the note would be using your palm or side of hand to take a picture.

True to a point. Those that have had Samsung phones and know how to use and navigate Touch Wiz, probably. But I know several folks that jumped ship from HTC to Samsung and we're all new and learning.
Thanks for the input though!
Could you go into more detail as to what you mean by using my Palm or side of my hand to take a pic so I can add it?
Thanks!
I thought this was going to be like the tips and tricks from the International forum but oh man was I wrong...
Atleast someone is getting a start on it right..

Screen Capture Without the S Pen
You can screen capture without the S Pen by placing your right hand perpendicular to the right side of the screen (in a karate chop position) and sweeping left. If you are left-handed, you can use your left hand in the same manner, sweeping left to right.
Long press the notification bar and drag left or right to change brightness.
Holding down on the notification bar and swiping for brightness will only work if you don't have auto brightness enabled. You can also take a screenshot by pressing Home and Power at the same time. I find that easier than karate chopping my phone.
This is normally presented to people when they set up their phones, but just in case someone skipped it, if you hold down the side button on the S-pen and double tap the screen, it opens up an s-memo over whatever app you're in so you can jot a quick note. There is also an option for this during phone calls.
EDIT: Here's a few other tricks that I haven't tested personally, but have heard from various sources:
1. If you are playing music and place your palm over the display, it quickly mutes the music.
2. While playing a video, tapping the power button will lock the display so it won't respond to touches. Pressing again will disable.
3. If you have motion activation enabled in your settings, when the phone rings you can flip it over to silence the ringtone.
4. Swiping a contact's name to the left in your contact list will quick-create a new message to them. Swiping to the right will call them.
Heres another, if you swype your fist accrpss the screen it takes a screenshot

Wish this worked without CheeseWhiz, odd it matters as the notification bar is framework, not launcher, but I couldn't make it work. Then again, I rarely managed to make the same function work in Cyanogen 7 either..
EDIT: Oops, yeah I'm an idiot, I had Automatic on, it works fine regardless of launcher.

You can also just press the power button along with the home button for screenshot if you don't feel like karate chopping your screen.

I came from an HTC Inspire..so these were very helpful. Thanks!
Highly recommend root users try this. Gives iPad like gestures, but more + customisable. Has made using my nexus even better than it already is

Simply awesome. Google should buy out this developer and incorporate these features natively. Well worth the $5. This brings one of the best iOS features to android, but with more customizations and functionality.
I agree, I've been using this app for several months on my touchpad. It brings much need functionality to any tablet.
There are the function I setup:
-3 finger downward-right swipe from the top left cornerto kill the app im in.
-3 finger rightward swipe to use the Back function
-4 finger downward swipe to shut the tablet off
-4 finger upward swipe to kill the notification bars.
-4 finger left or right swipe to move to the previous or next app that was is active
-5 finger expand swipe to pull up my favorite apps (in a small menu)
-5 finger collapse swipe to go to the home screen
New one, right side border 2 finger expand to pull up recent apps.
still playing with other custom settings but those are the most used one I have.
Here is a video for those who aren't picturing this app well.

@ Izeltokatl: Thanks for posting your settings. I`m just getting started with GMD and slowly working out a system of custom gestures so I can remove/disable/hide s/w buttons (navbar/statusbar). Even on my Nexus 7, getting rid of the status/notif bar = more real estate! Anyway, I`ll post my custom settings once I have a proper/logical set of gestures in place. cheers!
All I want to do is simple ios gestures.
5 finger pinch to home-close
4 finger swipe left or right to switch apps.
5 finger pinch to close-home is not in the default settings so I had to make a custom one.
Its works,.. after 8-9 attempts..
Guys what am i doing wrong here? I emailed the dev last night too, no response yet. *Edit - DURRRRR! The developer has a thread here, lol*
Cheers!
Google should really implement this, this is easily the best feature on iOS.
I'd use it but I dislike running unneeded processes in the background :/
This took me a little while to setup and get used to, but now that everything is setup, this is pretty great!!

Make sure you run the calibration in the settings.

With gmd, if you toggle the status bar off, will it reappear when you receive a notification?
I posted this on a different forum but should have checked over here first. Hopefully one of you guys with a Gear S can verify this for me.
When swiping down from the clock screen to get to the quick menu it seems I have to be in the top center when I swipe down. If I try to swipe down from the top near the edges it does not work. This also applies when swiping down from a widget to get back to the home screen. If I am in app or scrolling through the apps the top edges seem to work as normal.
Just trying to figure out if it is supposed to be this way or my Gear S is defective?
Thanks
Just tried the swipe down on my Gear S. Won't respond if I'm swiping near the corners. Only responds when I swipe near the middle.
On my Galaxy Note 4, I can swipe straight down from the middle to pull up the notification panel. I can also swipe diagonally down from the corners to activate multi-window pop-up mode.
So, maybe the Gear S will eventually incorporate some type of diagonal swipe down from the corners to activate or open an app or setting.
Thanks for the checking. I figured it was designed like that but I had nothing to compare it to.
Thanks again
I was testing the multi touch capability, found only 3 point touch!! It's it true? Did any one checked it?
I wound just 2 lel on third is reset

The guy talked about apps checking the multitouch functionality also if u were to use developer menu in phone it would display 3 fingers therefore this quick setting disables multitouch above 3 points (the debug menu option to show presses displays always all the presses)

I have no idea what you are talking. I confirm that the one plus 5 is supporting multi touches without any issues. If a certain app doesn't detect more than 3, then it is app specific issue.

Im saying that if u enable 3 finger to screenshot functionality some apps and even the debug menu of oneplus 5 has issues with recognizing more than 3 touches, you don't use the tester apps on google play store that check the multi touch capability in software what you see when you enable the dots on press in developer menu is a lower level implementation of displaying this thing maybe the screen driver handles it itself.
