I had the (moving) water for my background/wallpaper on my A7. However, my grandson must have done something because I do not see the water (moving/wavy) background/wallpaper.
Would anyone know how I can get that background/wallpaper back again?
Thank you.
Alice
Goto any homescreen, press the menu softkey, and in the menu choose wallpaper, then select live wallpaper, it should be stored there.
Hope that helps

Thank you.
I did choose the LiveWallpaper and then the Water/Leaves, which is what I had before.
Do you think that will use a lot the battery "power?"
Thanks again.

Hey I hope this isn't a repeat question but I did search. I was wondering if thee was a way to organize the menu on the evo like we could do back with wm? Make folders etc.
Thanks
P.s. I wasn't sure if this belonged here or q and a. Sorry if wrong section.

You can make make folders on the home screen
Long press home screen > select folder but that's about it.
Can't customize the the pop up menu.
Try something like "apps organizer" (free).
I never use the main launch button any more.
Ok thanks for the info, will look at that app. I was trying to customize the pop up menu...

Can you hide apps you don't use?
I think you need to use a separate app for that.

I'm not running a rooted ROM
whenever I try and change it, it simply changes back
anyone got a fix?
Umm yeah that's kinda the whole point in rooting the phone and running a rooted ROM so when you change things they stick.

Yes, you have to learn how to walk before you can run.

I know ths is old, but maybe you are still around to see this. Here is what I did. I am on a rooted phone, but I'm thinking this should still work for you.
Here is what you are going to need:
Folder Organizer application
Any cut Application
Go into Folder Organizer and then go to Shortcuts, then hit the little plus sign to add an action, then choose any cut, then choose activity, then scroll down and choose messages, it will bring up a screen to edit just the title, then hit ok, now you should be back in folder organizer with the messages shorcut, hit the little down arrow on the right side of the screen of messages, then choose icon, and then go through and get whatever icon you want. now once that is done, back out to your home screen and long press home, or if you have an "add to home" button on your rosie, hit that, then choose shortcut, choose folder organizer item, choose shortcuts and choose messages.
It should not revert back to the original messages icon, it should stay. Hope that helps you, or someone else who comes across this thread.
By the way, this took me some time to figure out.... lol.
I haven't seen a thread for this yet, so I thought I would share. After installing Launcher Pro, I was playing around with the shortcuts and Activities. Under Call settings there is a hidden menu named "All Calls". If you create a shortcut you will have access to the auto reject call menu and will have the ability to enter phone numbers, or select numbers from the call history, that should be automatically rejected. The nice thing about it is the phone doesn't ring or vibrate. Since I forward my office line to my cell, I get a lot of solicitors and its great to be able to dump them automatically.

Nice find. I wish I would have discovered this sooner. I actually bought "Group to Voicemail" on the Market a few weeks ago because I needed this functionality. Oh well. It's a nice app and the dev seems cool.
LOL...
i just noticed this menu is NOT in the epic..lol
this is a regular menu in all other android phones i had use, such as the moto droid and the nexus one
Define how I am supposed to find something "hidden". Kinda confusing. I have Launcher Pro isntalled and see nothing about this under settings/call settings. Wanna elaborate?
Go to a blank spot onto your phone. Tap as if you were going to add a widget or shortcut. Go into shortcuts, activies, call settings, and tap all calls. It will create a shortcut which u go into and will see the auto reject feature.
I believe you must have LauncherPro. This is not in the settings menu.

You have to enter the number without any dashes or spaces.
"Cell Broadcast SMS" looks interesting.

Awesome thanks, do I have to leave the widget on the home screen for it to keep working?

No you don't have to leave it on the home screen, but it makes it easier to add more numbers later if you do. Personally, I have a folder on my home screen that contains that shortcut and shortcuts to other apps and settings I frequently use.
Metallica76 - thanks for clarifying those additional steps. My apologies everyone for not being more specific on the actual steps for creating the shortcut.
Now if I can just find the "send to voicemail" option everyone says is in the contacts settings, which clearly is not there.

As far as I can tell, this can be done through any launcher, even the TouchWiz launcher.

You can also press the icon next to the entry field to add a number from your contact list or from your call log (although you will have to remove any dashes included).
hey guys please please idk what happened but i accidently dragged an app over the main menu icon on my HD2 android.. and now i have no way of getting to main menu...any help please???
By main menu, I assume you mean the app drawer. If that's the case, then long-press a blank spot on your homescreen, choose shortcut (or maybe it's custom shortcut, cant remember for sure). Then choose 'launcher actions' and then choose 'all aplications'. At least that's how it's done in adw launcher. Then you can just drop that shortcut icon back down into your dock where it belongs
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
oh thanks a lot mate! but i just deleted everything i had on my phone, and the droid started from scratch. thanks anyway! peace
Also worth noting that with adw launcher (in typhoon for example) swiping down (or is it up, i forget and have disabled it now) on the homescreen shows/hides the whole menu bar at bottom. I wiped data Few weeks ago thinking id lost my whole launcher.
As for just the one shortcut, press and hold the one you mistakenly dropped there and choose edit, pick activity, activities, open/close app drawer.
Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.
I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...
Its working for me even on touchwiz..
