When I first got my Tab S3, I adjust some of the settings on the home screen, such as the grid size and if the icons are shown with the frame behind them or not. (I chose no frame) I went back later to change the settings again and found that both the Home Screen and Icon Frames menu items are grayed out. (See screenshot)

Tapping on them highlights them, but otherwise does nothing.
I contacted Samsung and not only do they not have a solution, but they are not aware of anyone else having the same problem.
Can you access these settings on your tablet? If not, provide your tablet build number.

Grayed out for me as well. But I've changed my default launcher to apex and got rid of some samsung bloat ware so i don't know if that is causing this.

Change default launcher to SHome and those grayed out options should be back.
I should have mentioned in my original post that I have not installed any alternate launchers on this device.

Try this , install a third party launcher , set it as default. Reboot , and go to settings -->Applications --> default applications and set SHome as default and see if you can see the settings.

There is now a paid version of LauncherPro:
http://launcherpro.com/
I have installed it but when I hit the "Home" button I don't get the option to switch to LauncherPro. I didn't have a previous version installed so I thought it would pick it up (I had tried a previous version and deleted it). What do I need to do to get the option to switch to it??
EDIT: Fixed using method in the next post.
From the home screen
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
From Manage Applications
menu -> filter > All
Scroll to either
LauncherPro or twlauncher which ever is yoru default home screen and select "Clear Defaults" Then press the Home button and you should give you the option of which home screen to use.
That did it.
I had gone to the Applications Manager but didn't select "All" to see the default launcher. Thanks for the help!
home switcher...i use home switcher to switch launchers on the fly free and useful
how do you like it? what's different about it other than that it has new widgets? i use adw and i preferred adw over it because it's way more customizable...just wondering if the new launcherpro plus is customizable.
I haven't used a bunch of different launchers but LauncherPro seems to be very customizable. I have changed all of the default icons and it looks really slick.
As soon as I get the drivers installed on my computer (which might end up being the subject of a whole other thread... grrr!) I will post some screenshots.

download shootme from the market. it's an app that takes a shot of your homescreen...works like a charm

+1 I gave up on the drivers and just used Shootme. You need to be rooted, but that takes literally one minute so it's no big deal.
Nah I got the driver thing sorted out. Here is the screenshot (I shrunk it down a little and changed it to a .jpg to save some bandwidth). Don't judge the artistic value of the setup. I just plugged it up and took a screenshot to show what I did with the launcher in a few minutes of playing around.
The background is animated (those little images are flying slowly toward you like a star field kind of deal). I played around with the icons at the bottom just to see if I could change them from the default LauncherPro icons and that's as far as I got today. I don't know what's possible with other launchers but I like this one just fine.

never mind i accidentally clicked the "menu option" of my galaxy win/quattro and then the setting option popped out.
I know this is an old thread, but I don't think this necessarily works i.e. disabling auto-updates per individual app. I recently rooted an lg g4. As far as i know, I have had auto-update turned off, and as i saw the updates running, I checked the play-store to make sure it was off and even checked a few of the apps to make sure autoupdate was turned off and in every case auto update was turned off. and yet the updates still downloaded and updates ran. I would not even have known if I had not been awake at 3am.
Download launcherpro(the old one)
Set lg launcher as default. Launcherpro only needs to be installed
Add the "activities" widget with the launcherpro icon
Go down to "home" and hit it
Pick the one that is circled in the screenshot
Profit. Now you can download themes from the g2 or flex or optimus g pro or gpro2 threads..

Thank you. Got it working and all but the themes aren't really all that. I really miss Unicon and can't wait for it to work on the G3.

Im on a g2. But should be the same since im on a g3 port
the keyboard themes and fonts are working as well.
metal body keyboard theme is awesome
im really digging MDcats fonts
Im having no luck getting anything to be able to be applied in the theme center thing. Nothing shows up regardless of what I dl. How did you get a keyboard skin to work?
Also I found if you add widget then to home an go to one that lets you access hidden menu scroll to bottom an select this an will give you the theme option in display in menu

Hi Ppl,
I just updated my Honor 7 to MM with EMUI 4.0 and there are too many little changes.
But most important is that the simple option of graph to check the battery usage i.e. which app / screen / process is using maximum battery is draining how much battery; its gone from the settings.
Now, we are supposed to take a lloooonnnnggg route for this basic need.
Use the app phone manager and follow a hell lot of steps to enter a screen which shows separate hardware and software usage.
Do you know any basic app that can help me here?
I want something like this which is no more available on EMUI 4.0

You can use a launcher like Nova and set up a shortcut to go straight to the battery setting.

Well, I'm saying that there is no battery option in settings. Hence, it's not about the launcher but the feature itself

In phonemanager goto settings (icon on top left corner) and select SHORTCUTS (first option). There you can create a desktop shortcut directly to the batterymanager on your homescreen

I'm saying that you can use a launcher to get to that screen. It still exists so you just need to create a shortcut to it.

I think it's because I'm using the dark theme, but still, when i turned off the dark theme, the menu background is white
