So I just returned my Verizon Tab at Best Buy today, having it for about 11 days, I exchanged it for the Sprint Tab instead. I do like the white cover instead, fingerprints are less visable, and no more V Cast, V Apps crap anymore. Sprint one does seem snappier, reboot to ready to use was significantly faster in my eyes.
Anyways.
When I had the Verizon version, the main home screen was #4 out of 7 windows. Which I liked because it was in the middle. Now that I got my Sprint version, its 'main' home screen is #1 out of 5, 6, 7 windows. I'm trying to figure out how to make the 'main' home screen say something like #3 out of 5.. but can't figure it out, is there a way to re-arrange the 'main' home screen??
Not sure with the default one it ships with. I downloaded and installed LauncherPro and use it as my home screen. Found it to be more responsive and "snappy" compared to the stock home app.
I can't figure this one out either.
try this.. tap the menu button on the home screen and choose "edit"
When I did it on mine, I can create, delete and move pages in the home screen
That still doesn't move the 'main' screen. I have tmobile and I have been trying to change it as well (prepfer 3 screens instead of 5), but I cannot find any setting.
Can you pinch to zoom out from the home screen, the tap, hold, and move the screens?
You can do all of that, but it won't set the 'main' home screen, you know, when you hit the home button twice
There's a few tools on the Market which will let you change your TouchWiz homescreen, they were made for the Galaxy S phones, but they'll work on your device. Look for SGS Tools, or Galaxy S Tweaker, or something like that.
Most Galaxy S tweakers don't **** with it though, they just move on to a different launcher. I know I did. Only thing I use TouchWiz launcher for is to fire up the MTP (Kies) USB connection.
anyone find a factory solution?

Hello!
I've just moved to Android 2.1, coming from WinMo (HD2 Flashed WM6.5.x). I spent many long hours, tweaking just about everything in order to get the look I wanted. I was told by many, that I would have no problem doing all the same on the Evo and even much more. So I'm in love with my Evo experience so far and have no plans to go back to WinMo even though I was happy with it.
All weekend, I've searched high and low. Ran through nearly a hundred apps out of a list of 150 and growing. Yet here I am still trying to find a few types of apps and mods.
IS THERE:
1. An app like ListPro which is the best Windows Mobile general list keeping app ever made. I'm looking for an app to create general lists of all types, with custom fields and so on. And furthermore, having a desktop app that syncs with it, is also high on the list. Being able to enter data on a desktop and sync it all with great ease, to a matching mobile app, is something I would pay dearly for.
2. On the HTC Evo, the Sense home screen is okay but could really use a touch of xda Co0kies Home Tab. Looking, but can't find any such app. Recently, I downloaded nearly 200 analog clocks for the HD2 Sense home screen. Where are the Android custom analog clocks?
3. Is it possible to change the color of the top status bar of Android? And also how about the bottom bar? Can we not have wallpaper that extends the entire screen so that the bars match the wallpaper?
4. Can the slide to unlock bar be disabled? Pressing the power button is hard enough to not have to worry about the screen being on when not wanted.
5. How about an on-screen power/sleep icon/button? It would be nice to be able to put the phone to sleep without having to reach for that little power button.
6. What is up with the wallpaper??? At first I thought, well since I love my HTC HD2 wallpaper so much, why don't I just transfer it to my Evo. Sure thing but it ends up being cropped and stretched, no matter what I do. I've read page after page and tried a few different things and can't seem to get it right. I tried using a png image that was 960x800 after first trying the 800x480. I tried holding my finger in the crop screen and sliding the selection area but it will not allow me to select the entire image size. So the Evo Sense has 7 screens but why not just one image displayed in full screen, on each screen? What was Google/HTC thinking?!?!?!
I've searched many forums and I just can't seem to find the answers to these questions so far and so I figure it can't hurt to ask around.
Thanks to jmxp69, an answer for number 4: Freeware app called No Lock in the Android market does the trick. Installing it and then activating it will turn off the slide to unlock screen. Furthermore it makes the volume up/down buttons wake up the Evo, the same as the power button does. So far it looks like it does not effect any of the 4 cap buttons.
You can install Menu Unlock form market [donate] or find it on xda for free. It works for me(I removed HtcLockScreen). I'm not sure I like No Lock yet. It works but it seems like it can be too much. Meaning I don't want it to wake and unlock, just wake from the volume buttons then slide or menu to unlock the screen.
That said I'm trying to get something like trackball wake going that will let the phone just be woke from sleep then you'll need to slide or tap menu.
The other thing I'm looking forward to is full display out on the HDMI. I want to see the home screen and games and anything else on the display.
Thanks but now I'm trying to find a way to only disable the lock screen on wake up and only have it show up when the phone rings. Still looking and hoping to find a way to do this.......
Hi,
Anyone know if there's a registry hack to remove the Home and Settings options from the home screen tabs at the bottom of the home screen? I actually use Settings a bit, but the Home option makes no sense to me. Not only is there a hardware button that takes you to the home screen, but as far as I can tell, the home screen tabs only appear on the home screen anyway, kinda making the option pointless! I'd prefer to put the settings option on one of my quicklinks instead to free up some space on the home screen tabs (I like a nice tidy maximum of 5 down there to prevent the need to scroll) and assume that if a registry hack exists, both options would sit in the same area.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Don't do it
There was a thread about it, but you would have to search for it. I don't remember anymore wharmt exactly the titel was.
I came from the same side and tried to remove the HomeTab.
1st point: it worked.
Sideeffect: not only the button in the slider vanished, but also the complete Homescreen.
So, it's better you leave the fingers off this topic.
If you want to find the thread, just search for all my posts (there aren't so many). This might be the easiest way to find it.

never mind, just reread your q, lol please ignore me.
careful
Only if your a pro , dont touch registries. Enjoy your phone and hope all is well.
I know how to edit the # and location of screens. I was curious though.. I now have 4 screens and by default when I press home, it takes me to the 4th screen (the middle when there were 7).
Am I missing something simple? How can I made say screen 2 or 3 be the default screen?
Honestly, I'd assume it's not changeable due to the main screen logically being the center one. I barely even used TouchWiz though. First thing after signing in I downloaded ADW.Launcher. Had it since his very first (flashable only) version (I was the very first tester).
Plus, I definitely don't care for the 'iphone-look' app drawer.
Ok, so I just went back to TouchWiz to try it out. After dragging screen 4 (home screen) to position 7, went into an app and then hit home. Returned to position 7. Hitting home again took me to position 4. So it looks like that 4th screen is always your home screen (unless you root and change code). At least that's my assumption as of now.
^ awesome... thanks. Really should be able to change the default screen though (LIKE ADW).
I will probably follow suit and get ADW or LP, but I wanted to try something new out. I was REALLY opposed to the TW looking like apple, but honestly it's not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be.
How are you editing the number of screens? Where are the touch wiz settings located? Feels like I've looked everywhere...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From what I've seen you open the app draw then press menu and then edit from there u can remove the number of screens and move them around I believe.
Hello, I have a HTC HD2 on Vodafone and have just downloaded and successfully installed the latest versions of cookies home tab and its editor.
When you see the countles videos people have uploaded online of people with their htcs, with the awesome little customised, cookies home tab screen, everything works perfectly.
My home screen by default is black and pretty blank, except it has a joint weather and time widget at the top of the screen. Pressing menu, edit home layout, i assumed would be the thing to do. When i do this, a screen just like i want appears, with the clasic big clock..and the quicklinks..and i can move/add/change everything as i want. I press done and this appears to be my new home screen.
However, whenever i attempt to scroll or move anything up and down on the screen, without reacting, it will just snap back to the original black screen i spoke about with the smaller widget at the top.
This means i cannot customise anything, for example the handy expansion of quicklinks..etc, as when i do, everything will just snap back to its default.
Like i said there are hundreds of videos online about this program but none running you from installation to customisation, so i dont know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated to get me started with this program as its getting on my nerves...
Thanks a lot!
Hey everyone, Merry Christmas...if you celebrate the holiday =-)
I have a tmo Tab and change the number of home screens from 5 to 3, but on when I press the home button it goes to the 3rd screen (right screen).
How do I set it but to the 2nd (middle screen) ?
Thanks
I'm still a noob, but I think the Verizon version is the only one that lets you set your default screen. I currently have a AT&T tab and wanted to do the same thing. The workaround I found was to rearrange the screens and move the desired one to position 3. Hoping someone comes up with a better way but that's the only option I know if right now.
Another option is use of alternate launcher (Zeam, Launcher Pro, ADW), which will give you also a option to use scrollable widgets.
