Home screens - Galaxy Tab 2 General

Is there any way to change the number of home screens...I'd rather only have 2-3

Pinch the screen, then drag any unwanted homescreens into the trashcan. Voila.

That was sweet. Thank you!

Weather widget

Removed the weather widget from my home screen.
When I put it back it is only 2 wide, not 4.
Any ideas why or how to fix?

Place the widget and then press,and hold until trash can appears, let go and it will give you the option to resize

I think you can resize it by long pressing the widget, releasing and then you should see a little resize indicator in the bottom right corner of the widget. Drag that to resize how you want.
EDIT: Beaten to the punch!
Brilliant. A nice little feature.

This seems like a good place to ask a quick question then, can you resize all or most widgets? Or just a few like the weather widget mentioned above?

How to take a screenshot in ICS?

Just updated to ICS, but the Home + Power for screenshot doesn't work anymore. Volume down + Power doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Hold the button on the S-Pen and press on screen for a second until you hear the camera click sound. This works for me on ICS.
No need 4 spen 2 screencap unless u have it out already just
Do it with touch input
wipe across the screen with your full hand like a karate chop left 2 right
or with ur thumb in a vertical position that works 2

I believe palm swipe gesture is easier than other ways.

[TIP][4.1.2] Resizable popup note

i just found out that the popup note seems to be resizable by pointing the s pen at the lower right corner of the popup note.

please delete if found duplicate.
The guy (Lucidmike78) that did that video has a lot of good video tips because he does one each day so thanks for pointing his stuff out.
Works with the popup browser, too.

Not working on my popup browser. I have to manually flash a separate app to make my popup browser resizable.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
can do it with stock 4.1.2. works with finger as well ^^

Watch on Widget

I can only get the watch on widget to work on the lock screen, not on thr the home screen. Can someone confirm they are having the same issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Using nova I have no option for the watchon widget. I got the notification drawer widget to appear but it disappeared after reboot.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Same here. That's really weird that they wouldn't have it as a home screen widget.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
There's gotta be a bug then.. Makes no sense.

Surprised this isn't being discussed more. Also no homescreen widget in the GS4, only lock screen and notification panel

Lock screen apps

How do we change which apps are on the lock screen. I cannot find the settings anywhere.
I want to add Gmail to there since that is the main notification that lights up.

Right there in settings where ud think it would be.... I understand though, sometimes we just overlook something no matter how long we search for it...
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
Where is it? I still don't see it. Can you take a screenshot of it for me. It's not there.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Shortcuts, right under wallpaper in settings/lockscreen. U must have swipe to unlock, as unlock type to get these options I think...
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium HD app
thank you. I had face to unlock so the apps shortcut was gone
