How do i make my second screen out of 3 the default screen. For some reason it keeps going to the last one...
What launcher are you using? With ADW or LauncherPro its in the settings.

touchwiz, what i mean is when you edit the home screens of the 7 you can edit, it always pulls the last screen as the default, and if theres more than 4 it pulls the 4th.
There's a thread for this already. It's set that way by default. Can't change it. Use a different launcher

I don't think it can be customized with TW. Use ADW and you'll get a lot more options than just which screen is the default.

Ok, I just rooted and flashed CM6. I previously had 1.6 and, using OpenHome, utilized all of my screens.
I'm using ADW Launcher that came with CM6. It's saying one of my screens is full when I only have one app on it. I've modified the ADW screen settings for columns and rows, as well as other stuff, and even deleted the screen and replaced it. It still says there's no more room on that screen.
Is there a setting I'm missing?
I was able to get a 2nd app on there, but nothing after that.
Is there a setting that limits the number of apps on your desktop/homescreen?

Does anyone know how I can stop wallpaper scrolling? I wanna just have the full wallpaper inplace withought scrolling?
I think that's an option in ADW Launcher. I know its an option in ADW Launcher EX.
you can't do it unless you get a different laucher, launcherpro can do it too in the options

I do have launcher pro, but all yet it only freezes the wallpaper and not all off it shows?
You'll need to crop the image yourself, most launchers dont have robust options when it comes to editting. Just make the image the same resolution as your screen.

Hi,
I am fairly new to the Android world and I have some questions for you guys.
So as I said the Atrix is my first Android phone I've already rooted it and done all the modification we, bell users, can do.
There is one thing that I think is really weird and its the widget positioning. Why do all widgets have 1/8 of free space on top, on bottom and on the side? And why is there already "pre-designed" area to put you widget in? It feels to me like I can't place them like I want... Am I doing something wrong or is there an option somewhere to remove that?
I tried searching Google for that but wasn't able to find the right word so I can get relevant results.
I am currently using Go Laucher.
Thanks for you help and sorry if there is some english mistake, english isn't my first language.
It is like a fixed grid, but you can have some more freedom/customization using apps like luncher pro

or using go launcher create a 5x5 grid, or use desktop visualizer to use custom icons all over, etc etc
LauncherPro Plus allows widget resizing. Get it if you dont already have it.
Stick with Go Launcher because 1) it's free and 2) it allows widget resizing without paying (ala Launcher Pro Plus).
Set your grid to 4x5 tight or 5x5 extra tight and you will have barely any margins on the sides.
I changed to 5x5 and it helped a lot!!
Thanks to everyone!
I've got a question slightly related, is there a way to set up the original homescreen launcher to come up when I press the home button because I got Go Launcher and pressing home only seems to go there and I have to kill it to get back to the original screen.

settings/applications/manage applications/go launcher/clear defaults
Thanks for the reply, I already did that but i can set the default for the home button as as the original launcher as long as I have other launchers installed, the original just doesn't show up in the list of choices. I have Launcher Pro as well as I was testing which I would like better but when I press home the list comes up with only Go & Pro launchers, I guess I'll just have to go with a third party one then it seems the default launcher doesn't get it's own app or whatever.
just uninstall them if you dont want to use 3rd party launcher....its that simple

I'm having a problem with ADW EX and multi live wallpaper. I've set up different wallpapers for each home screen but in ADW it shows the wallpaper for the center screen on all of the screens. If I go into the default honeycomb launcher it correctly shows the different wallpapers on each screen. It's clearly a problem with ADW. Is this a glitch or is there a setting I have to find and change?
Adw ex settings - general behavior- animation and effects - make sure check mark is checked on wallpaper scrolling. Looks real nice with multipicture and adw both set to cube.

Thanks a lot! That was the problem. I don't remember turning that off but I might have by accident at some point. I however have another problem. I just booted up my tab and all of the widgets in ADW say 'Problem loading widget' do I have to delete them all and recreate them?
edit: For anyone having that problem, you apparently can't set custom themes because they cause your SD card to not mount right away when you boot.
When you first boot up it takes widgets like desktop visualizer and some clock widgets a little longer to load. The tab has a startup process and they are the last to startup. Usually give your tab a minute for them to load and your good to go. You will only see this after booting up, not when waking from sleep.

I'm going to be using a launcher instead of touchwiz. Is there anything that can go wrong by freezing touchwiz?

No need to freeze or uninstall touchwiz launcher.
Just find a launcher you like (or more than one launcher)
and each time the phone goes to home screen it will
ask which launcher to use.
Once you find your favorite launcher and the phone asks
you which to open, checkmark the little square where it
says "use as default".
After doing that the phone will launch what every laucher
you selected to be default each and every time unless you
change the default in settings (Application manager)
Good luck!

Wouldn't touchwiz waste more battery coupled with another launcher
No. It does not become active while another launcher is being used.
