How 2 turn off the home jumper thing on the bottom screen?

When I'm flipping left and right on my home/widget screens this short cut/jump to screen pops up on the bottom. I can't figure out how to disable it!! I try to go into my drawer/all app list and end up jumping to another home screen. Please help

You could just use a different launcher? I've moved to ADW Launcher and I'm loving it so far. Lots of options/tweaks.

Drop blur & just use an alternative home launcher such as adw or launcher pro.

I use launcher pro (plus) the beta version is free, basically i turn off homescreen rotation (like it is in moto, which i agree with i'm only gonna hold the homescreen one way)
and i enable 5 rows in the homescreen Gives so much more room to have widgets. as well as icons, it looks kinda messed up if you go landscape homescreen.
It just makes sense to me and wish more wide phones (which is about all the new phones now) should come like that

[Q] Is there a way to extend the # of screens

I was wondering if it was possible to extend the # of screens to display more icons.
Other option would be to create folders but is doesn't seems to be possible with Honeycomb, am i wrong?

Good stuff here. I remember seeing versions of Android with 7 screens...

you can install an 3rd party home screen app such as Launcher Pro. It allows you to fully customise your homescreens and add a lot of eye candy. Haven't tried it out on Honeycomb but I've used it on my Xperia X10.

I was more thinking about a native solution but i will try Launcher Pro.
Thanks

Circle Laucher
I use Circle Launcher Light. Its a widget that adds a circle icon on the home screen. You can configure it to display any number of app icons when pressed. You just select which app you want to launch. You can also display a name on the screen circles. I have one set up for each type of family of apps I use. Dor example "Games", "Media", "Readers", etc. I like it. Its free in market.

Tried to download ADW.Launcher from the market without success. Seems to be restricted to non honeycomb systems by google.
If someone can provide an alternate link for the free version, it would be more than appretiate.

+1 for circle launcher! A perfect for honeycomb and a 10 inch screen. My setup is similar and allows two click access to every app I use. The widget displays nearly instantly.

[Q] launcher pro aps

Hey I was wondering is there a way to get the launcher pro apps separate from launcher pro? I was using it and love the calendar app for the looks Ana functionality but I recently switced to using go launcher. I would really like to get the calendar widget back or find a way to theme the one in go launcher. Is this possible or is there a widget that is similar to the launcher pro one?
Thanks

[Idea] Fast intuitive launcher

I have not found any launcher or appdrawer that simly uses folder icons that is suitable (could choose custom) to the group. All/most launchers uses the iPhone app-miniatures-impossible to easily see-folderstyle. Also icons and foldericons are too small. So here is a suggestion.
3*4 big foldericons, e.x. social (phone, messaging, facebook), office (word, excel, etc), media (camera, pictures, musicplayers), tools, games, settings (settings apps, widgetsettings)
When a new app is installed, it is automatically asked in what folder to put it, or if create a new folder for it.
(I only found 3 icons in my example, and not very intuitive suitable icons, soo you have to imagine 3 more rows)

a extra feature: it could open up a cloud of widgets when sliding a foldericon. Example sliding the social icon pops up a circling cloud of facebook stats, tweets, messages, last phonecalls, and contacts. Or it pops up when simply clicking a icon, and further clicking on the widget opens the app.

Sounds good :thumbup:
Thanks don't hurt ya know?

Wexler comes to mind...

With some work it could be done kind of, using SSLauncher: Only 2 pages. One page with informative widgets and hidden buttons to start shortcuts. One page with big folders 2*3 grid, when clicked they open folder showing app icons at normal size.
Minimal, non-distracting, fast. Screenshots below.

Sound almost exactly like folder organizer. You can have a scrollable folder on your home page(like the tools one in screen) or have icons like the those in the screen( tools games) when you click on the icon, you get an app drawer with only the apps you specified as that category. It also asks what you want to categorize an app as when you in install it, on a per app basis,

Hello,
I wonder what people use as home Launcher for the Z3 COmpact.
The original one is nice with some additional features like the Drawer Menu.
NOVA has been my choice for years so now got back to it again.
But I think of using Google Now as it supports Voice Activation from the home screen (or even Lock Screen, though not sure??)
Anyhow, what's your preferred one?

Why not miui?
P.S. I am a miui super fan

Hi.
Voice activation is supported on any page of nova launcher prime (I use it on my Z3 compact)

Nova for me

Got it MIUI, but cannot seem to edit the Poll anymore ;-(
As for NOVA just found it indeed. Only does not work on the lock screen ;-( But Nova rocks indeed.

I'm using Next.

I using CM Launcher.. A few weeks..
Its offer Small-Fast Launcher but lots of customize..

I can't believe Terrain Home didn't make the list.
Any decent launcher now should get you to a search textbox in one action, and the search should dynamically filter your phone content (apps, contacts, bookmarks, etc.) as you type.
Terrain also includes a reasonable selection of feeds, a la Blinkfeed or Samsung's My Magazine.

Action Launcher for me, lacks some of the Nova features but I can't live without my covers and shutters.

using flow and aviate, switching between them when bored, but flow home launcher is great but still on beta though.

Got a link? Can't seem to find it on the Play Store

I was using Xperia until yesterday, then I switched to Nova.
I use folders pretty heavily so all the apps I use regularly are available with 2 taps from the home screen. I never use the drawer. The main reason I'm using Nova now is because I discovered Chronus which is great for showing when I have new mail, texts, calls, events, etc. all in one place, but it's a 4x3 widget so I needed the extra row Nova gives me.
I like the idea of a launcher with context, so I could see myself using something like Aviate, but so far I haven't quite found one that feels just right.

I use nova prime cause i want to use knock on and knock off. Coming from lg g2 and dont wnt to miss this xD

It's visible to me. Maybe you have to Google it and register for the beta first. I simply don't remember. FWIW, they're a Samsung venture.
Found it - try terrainhome dot com.

Google Now Launcher, but with Xposed GEL Settings.

I've been using Nova Prime for years but recently switched to Smart Launcher Pro because I'm tired of the standard matrix of icons paradigm. Granted, Smart Launcher Pro isn't far off of that, but it's a welcome change.
