Home screen - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get the home screen like the evo with that cool clock/wheather widget?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Long press on your home screen, select widgets, scroll down to clock and select it. It will bring up a clock widget selector. Hit the right arrow at the bottom until you see the clock you want and hit select. There ya go.

Sweet, thvm.
One more:
I like the curved action bar near the bottom that has the phone icon, app dock arrow, and the fav/cuctom button. How do i get that?
Thanks

You would need to try a different rom with the standard version of sense, or see if you can find some type of theme.

Like the above post says, you'll need to root and load a custom ROM to get standard Sense on the MT4G. See my sig for a link to the direct port of the Desire HD ROM, it's awesome!

Thank you for the help

one touch scroll to top of browser page like iphone?

on the iphone when you were browsing the internet in safari, you could tap the top bar and the page used to auto scroll up to the top of the web page, a very neat feature.
eg: youtube.com/watch?v=pvMGVWKkTkE
is there a way to do this on the SGS? or do we have to manually scroll up?
Thanks
Try pressing the menu button. It Will bring up the address bar.

This doesn't bring you to the top of the page, as requested, but perhaps will give the man what he truly desires.
In case you're looking to get to the top without scrolling, you can reload the page which in my experience brings you to the top of the page. However, this I admit, is an ugly fix, especially on 3G and moreso if you have a limited data plan.

AOSP lockscreen. I can't figure out what to change show it shows as just the word unlock. In frankenstein screenshots one of them has it but I can not figure it out to save my life !

I don't have enough posts to post links/inserts. If you go to the frankenstein rom dk28. One of the screenshots has what I am looking for. It says unlock on the lock screen instead of the icon of a lock. It was also on an Evo rom, Frost.
The "Unlock" wording isn't whats always there.
That is a "glass" lockscreen, therefore theres no icons or background to the slider. to view the world "Unlock" you have to press on the slider, slide it half way to the right (Before it hits the Dot that appears on the right), and don't release. When you slide it and hold it there, the word "Unlock" slides out from the left.
Same goes for "Sound on/off" on the right slider when you slide it to the left.
Ill be adding this as an option once we figure out when this next update from Sprint is coming... But I am still working on some things while we wait.
It will be an update.zip along with several others,black menus ect... Im going more stock to begin with and adding more options.

Ya I knew this. But what I am talking about is something that replaces that and only shows "Unlock" without sliding.
But that sounds good ecooce! I love the ROM. Quick question, which kernel do you recommend using? I am using genocide and it seems to give me issues with root access and my processor is overheating.
Twilight Zone is where its at right now,it has root built in,Genocide does not. As for over heating,Ive tested both of these kernels and never had a problem with heat,but I only OCd for a short period of time. But we will see what happen,Sprint will have a new OTA ready soon.
Edit = HW keyboard skips,wtf,still.

HTC One: Ten frequently asked questions

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-one-ten-frequently-asked-questions
1. Do I have to use BlinkFeed? Can I uninstall it?
You absolutely do not have to use it if you don't want to. Just don't add any feeds to it, and it won't do anything. You might be able to hack it out of there, but we wouldn't bother. Just thumb over to the home screen and pretend that BlinkFeed never happened.
(Though we'd recommend giving it a shot. It's not bad.)
2. Wait - there's only one home screen? Can I add more?
Sure! By default there's only one. (Most people don't use more than that anyway.) But you can add as many as five home screen panels. Get to the "Customize home screen" section -- either from the "Personalize" section of the settings or by long-pressing a blank area on a home screen -- and then hit the "add panel" button.
You can then choose which home screen panel to set as the default when you hit the home button, or you can remove unwanted panels.
3. That app drawer seems a little funny. What's up with it?
First off, you're probably not used to seeing a clock and weather widget stuck to the top of the app drawer. But there it is. Start thumbing down and it'll disappear. The next odd thing is that apps are in a large, 3-by-4 configuration. (It'll look like 3-by-3 until you scroll down and get the clock widget to disappear.)
Also: Folders! Just below the clock widget is a line of icons. On the far left is the app drawer view -- you have "Custom," "Alphabetical" or "Most recent." When in custom view, you can drop apps on one another to create folders. If something obvious appears to be missing, change to alphabetical view and find it that way. Also note that if an app is docked at the bottom of the screen, it won't appear in the app drawer.
This all takes a little getting used to.
4. What does the HTC button on the bottom of the phone do?
Not a damn thing, because it's just a logo. Not a button.
5. So how do I get to the list of recent apps? (aka multitasking)
Double-tap the home button and you'll get a 3-by-3 grid of apps that are open. To close an app, just flick it upward with your finger.
6. And what about Google Now?
Hold down the home button on the HTC One to get to Google Now.
7. I miss that iconic HTC clock widget. Can I get it back?
Yep! It's available as a home screen widget. It looks like you have to have the new, sleek widget everywhere else, though.
8. Is there a notification light?
Sure is. It's hidden in the bottom row, on the third hole from the left, in the top speaker.
9. Can I customize the lock screen?
Just like in previous versions of Sense, you can choose whether to have a wallpaper displayed, a "productivity" scheme with notifications and calendar reminders, a photo album view or music player, or you can opt to go with no lock screen at all.
The application shortcuts are slaved to whatever apps you have docked to the bottom of the screens.
10. Are the speakers that good?
For a smartphone, yeah. They're about as good as anything we've used. You'll need to have Beats Audio turned on (and it is by default) to get the full effect. It's not that it'll replace a proper external speaker, but neither will you be embarrassed to play audio out of your phone.

So, do you (or anyone) by any chance know if the place where the HTC logo located is a "touch screen" area but it's just not mapped to do anything? Or, is it literally not part of the capacitive touch area?
If it is part of the capacitive area, then, do you think it would be possible to somehow configure the area where the logo is located to do something (like multi task)?
this should be a sticky. it will probably stop the creation of unnecessary threads
The HTC logo is nothing more then a logo unfortunately.

Ask some moderators to do it, please.
I already did it, but nobody replied to me.
For me a good info for blinkfeed was:
if you unset blinkfeed as default homescreen, then you cant go to top by pressing any buttons.
Just hit the statusbar and blinktfeed jumps to top.

changing quick link icons??
This is a very helpful thread, thank you for that!
I have a question I could not find an answer for, but maybe I am simply too stupid. I am a proud owner of an HTC One since Friday and though this is my fourth HTC device with Sense UI, I am seriously struggling with the four quick launch icons on the bottom (i.e. Phone, SMS, Internet, Camera). On all previous devices I could easily change these icons through drag and drop, but this new beauty is resisting that. I can neither drag a new icon in there, nor can I drag one out, thus deleting it from the list.
I can rearrange them, though...
Anybody and smart ideas?

Did you try doing it while on the 'normal' homescreen? (Not the BlinkFeed one, but the other one)
Yes, tried it all, walked through all the menues as well, no chance. You can drag the icons onto a home screen, but that will copy them, not move them. And if you try to drag an icon from the home screen to the icon bar on the bottom, once you long-press an icon, the icon bar disappears... weird...

In multitasking view (where you double tap home button), is there a kill-all function like in CM10?

no, there is not. You need to flip each tile (app) away to close it.
Either way, swiping away each tile does nothing. You haven't actually killed the program. The only thing it will do is soothe your OCD.

[Q] home screen/home button

Somehow in fiddling with my new Note 3 N900, I changed the screen that appears when I press the home button. Also the little home icon appears second in the line of page indicators (dashes) about a third of the way down the page. Is there some way of moving that icon?
Can a forum wizard tell me what I did with an eye towards undoing it?
Thanking you in advance.

Pinch together to zoom out on one of your home screens and you should see all your homescreens in an overview layout. On each mini homescreen you'll see a little home icon at the top. Press the one on top of the screen you want to designate as the main home screen. Remember in TouchWiz you can have a maximum of 7 screens.
*EDIT* I forgot to mention that you can also change the order of the homescreens by dragging the mini screens when in the overview mode.

thanks, Fellas
I appreciate your help.

The LG G3 Tips and tricks thread

So i noticed there are many users coming from a galaxy device, and there are i think more features than most of us know when it comes to this device, everyone just post a tip you think someone might now know:
I'll start with mine: If you click and hold the multitask button, it will bring down the settings menu, this can be used pretty much anywhere, even in the homescreen.
Also if you open an app using qslide you can move the app all the way to the left edge of the screen and it will turn into a button which can be pressed and brought up at anytime.
good post this, keep them coming !
U can slide the Qslide to either edge. Works same ways for both the sides.
Good and keep the new tricks rolling..
ok, so here is mine:
you can use pinch gesture on multitasking window or in gallery view to resize thumbnails (make bigger or smaller).
Pretty nice

Editing the notification panel (scroll the icons on the top all the way to the right), will also let you collapse the volume and brightness sliders giving the notification panel more space...

From Lg G3 "the beast"
I just upgraded from a well-loved GS3 (it was getting flaky though) and I miss having built-in widgets for controlling bluetooth or wifi on/off that you can put on your main screens (Samsung had the power bar - which had a bunch of stuff). I'd rather not use the HD widgets if I don't have to - and pulling down the menu bar isn't always convenient.

This used to be my favorite tool, i know you mentioned you don't want to download any alternatives or so i understood but: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en
You can create your own powerbar where you can toggle wifi on/off bluetooth etc.. infact, i think i'm downloading this myself now that you reminded me of it, it is indeed more convenient.
When you scroll from bottom to open the qhickmemo+
Press the brow arrows that appear in the top after you'll be able to select an area to capture it
Also in the gallery, you can make a collage photos, hide photos and videos so no more need for hiding picture apps
In the home screen pinch to zoom it'll hide everything
That what I remember for now

Ohh, that's actually a nice low-impact widget.. Thanks! The HD widgets (while pretty) were very resource intensive and flaky sometimes for me. Too much for a widget.
