I just got the ZF9, that is my first Zenfone, so I am a bit puzzled about how to make it work for me, so my hope is that some oldtimers would be able to direct me to be happy about the phone!
I have been searching for help but found nothing.
My questions:
1. how do I get a blank front page ?
2. how do I create app folders on front page?
3. how do I fasten apps at the front?
4. how do I get rid of google on the first page?

1. You can't create a new blank page but you can drag widget or app to the new blank page at the far right.
2. Hold empty space on front page and you will see a checkmark on each app. Select the app you want to group then create folder.
3. You can lock home screen in the preferences -> home screen.
4. Hold empty space on front page, at the far left you can toggle on or off the google now page

Is it possible to put a folder shortcut in the quick links menu such as games folder or office mobile? It would be a lot more convenient to have just the folder instead of each game put up and would save space. I am using cookies home tab btw if that is important at all. I tried searching and didn't come up with anything useful.thanks for the help.

Probably it will be me who don't understand the question; but do you would have a folder with shortcuts in the windows view, or do you need a shortcuts in the today screen to a specific folder?
sorry fore the question; but didn't see it clearly.
in the today screen.

In this case; I'm sorry, I can not help you out of it.
In the past I have tray to make a shortcut of a folder; so that I can ad it into the Today Screen; unfortunately I got a Error who mention it wasn't signed.
Thil here I didn't find a solution. I hope someone-els can help you out if there is a way/solution.
i too have never had any luck..
quickly read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576232
haven't given it a go...care to read and see if it may work?
cheers.
you will need resco explorer for my solution.
1. navigate to the folder you want to add to quicklinks
2. long press on that folder to get a popup
3. select "send to" in the popup
4.at the bottom of the menu you will see "startmenu as a shortcut" choose that
5. go back to sense starting page and press "menu" on the lower right side
6. choose "edit quicklinks"
you will now see that the folder you want to add is already there
hope that helped...
hey guys,
We've released 2 new apps to make the windows mobile life, a bit more mobile!
the first:
Top Notes
create notes on the fly
make them "float" anytime!
very useful during a call, music playing and so on...
"Top Notes" is part of the "Top" family (Top Player, Top Notes, Top Cam)
the second:
Dial That Num
Mini ocr dialer. enables you to take a pic and extract the Text (just numbers) and then dial.
take a picture of your pc screen, ads, notes , newspaper and so on...
both apps are in VERY early devlopment, so expect bugs.
have fun!
COOL .but could u make it such a widget with CHT. IT'S could be resirable
Great job mate , thanks
Loving the idea of the Top Notes app. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. I'll report back, good or bad!
Dorothy
Great App
Great apps love the top notes
seems really great !
just tested now the "Dial That Num".
1- Installed on main memory ... ok
2- launch the app ... ok
3- the app launch itself a web connexion to show the advertisment ... ok
4- click on the camera button to launch the camera ... KO
so impossible to go further, no camera launched !
nb: just because the point n°3 I'm a bit disapointed, even if I understand (very well) why so!
"Dial That Num"
what a great Idea ..
but, I need to know how to make it work?
I touched the camera button and nothing happen!
and the ad's below the program screen didn't open either!
I traid it in HD2, with stock rom 1.66
Try clicking the ads browser. I'm sorry I use ads but that's the requierment from the OCR server. They charge me money for every request. Click on browser below and then take pic. that way this app is free and will remain free. By the way, remember its an alpha so results may vary. Please return feedback, thanx
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
ok. no problemo.
also tested now. and it works... some good !
> install app ... ok
> launch app ... ok
> click add to activate ... ok
> click on the button to launch camera ... ok
> take the picture ... ok
> send it to the application ... ok
> application is handling infos from OCR website ... ok
> showing scanned number ... ok
> verification of the number shown ... KO. ie the number is quite not correct, with more numbers as written. The number scanned was printed from printer (lol), in font verdana 16px, without any other number around it, tested with and without spaces in the number... still incorrect.
For an alpha, it's quite quite very good !
Just a few questions :
- how do you ensure confidentiality of scanned numbers ?
- is it a temporary folder or not used ?
- what is send to the OCR server ? if it's a picture (what should), it can hardly impact the data transfert amount... thougt about putting an info on this on the screen ?
suggestion: ad a sentence saying we have to click on the add, even the first time. Not after first camera shot.
Hi yossio,
this is possible one more widget for the CHT Suite....
Yeah, would be great if you can make this a CHT widget.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry, not gonna use an app that pushes ads.
Before I install this App -
I would like to know if I can place these floating notes anywhere -
meaning - let's say I have the CHT, and have an empty area on one of the
screens (say level 2) -
If I put the floating note there - would it stay there when I flip the
screen to the other levels ?
(Or will be be "stuck" to the same place on the screen, no matter
if the screen tab/level had changed ?)
Thanks
On HTC HD2 with latest firmware Top Notes has several issues:
1) when multiple notes are open and set to "Minimaze" they are standing on the screen and pulsing one on the other overlapping. Than each note name appears on the top left continuously and making the game a continuous pulse of names...
2) when multiple notes are open and set to "Minimaze" when you gain the Windows Menu and try to scroll from top to bottom the scroll doesn't work properly: it shows only the first visibile portion of the whole scrolling menu icons.
3) when a single or multiple notes are on the screen and you try to gain access to open menu:
- the latest note is automatically turned from "on top" to "minimize" without any control about that...
- the opened notes can't be moved to gain access to screen portions behind.
- what mentioned here above means aslo that if you have moved on the left bottom part of the screen and you tap over "Open" the note overlapping the functions of the Open window like "Menu OK Close" are hidden and you cannot close anymore the Open window... than you cannot close the Top Notes app apart from going to Task Manager and terminate it!
Apart from all those issues this App is great.

Thank you for the program and, by the way, where did you get the Windows 7 style icons of the slider?
Thanks
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....

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?
I dont know what happen. I woke up one morning and the contact icon on the bottom of the home screen is gone. I usualy have four icons there. Phone contact messaging and application. But now i only have three. I still could see contact icon inside application. how do i fix it?
Open application drawer, menu, edit, long press the relevant icon and put it back? Or similar, I forget the exact order of things in TW.
how do i do that? im running on stock ics. I didnt root
I just told you? What's unclear and why are you going on about root?
In the 'Phone contact messaging and application', click on the application icon.
press the 'menu/options' button - this is the left of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone. this will pop-up a menu. Select 'Edit' from this menu.
You can now move all the icons about. You can move icons from page to page and also from the page to the 'Phone contact messaging and application'.
Once you have changed it to the way you want it, select the 'menu/options' button and select Save.
This has been already answered, but I thought I would make it a bit clearer. There is no requirement to root the phone for this as it is a standard feature of Android.

The gallery will have a slideshow button when within a folder where there are a lotta images.. The delete button will be visible when u press on any particular photo so that it is the only one on screen...
For your second qn, there are two buttons in the middle. One for share which contains all the sharing options. The next one can be set to any particular share feature (bluetooth, wifi direct etc) You need to hold the second button with one finger to change it.
Try it out. Hope I helped..
