Good day,
Is there a way to lock the layout and remove some of the pages? I only use 1 page and do not want the icons to change on my homescreen. but when I search all I can seem to find is the damn lock orientations junk that is over talked about on the web. Can someone tell me if that is coming to the nexus 7? is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Or, do I have to install a different homescreen app?
Thanks in advance,
supersobbie
Nova Launcher Does exactly what your looking for.... Nova prime is awesome on the nexus 7

I have a rooted kindle using Go Launcher. I've picked a Go Launcher wallpaper but when I swipe to different homescreens the wallpaper does not scroll. Is there a way to get it to scroll?

Were you able to find a solution for this? I know what you mean. I'm running the fire with go launcher, i fixed it so the wallpaper doesn't reset or anything and live wallpapers work. However they do not scroll when switching screens left or right. Anybody out there know how to fix it?
...Didn't want to repost so I just put it down again here.
I've been trying to figure out the wallpaper scrolling since mid december. Sadly I don't know Android well enough to know where the control for it is hidden or what might be missing from the Amazon stock rom that breaks that function. Still poking through CM7 and trying to see which of the thousands of differences is responsible.
Yeah I have been looking it up for a while now too. Will post if I find an answer. It would certainly be welcomed.
Hi
As a complete newcomer to the Android opertaing system forgive me for asking what might be a couple of silly questions!
Firstly, there seems to be a few (three?) home screens. Can I make one of these always appear first when I switch on the Nexus7.
Secondly, when I purchased it a couple of weeks ago there seemed to be a whole host of widgets present, some of which seem to do nothing. Where do these widgets come from and what are they supposed to do. I have tried searching the web for information on this but have come up with nothing that really explains what widgets are.
Any help would be appreciated.
There should be a stock 5 home screens on Jelly Bean. The one in the middle (3rd) will be the default one. This can't be changed unless you use a custom launcher, like Nova Launcher. Then you can play around with them however you like.
As for the widgets question - which widgets are you talking about? As far as I know, there are no widgets which do "nothing"
I am not entirely sure about what you mean when you talk of widgets, but here goes:
Widgets do all sorts of things, from being toggle switches to news widgets. The ones on the screens when yo first get your tablet are Google widgets. If I remember correctly they are mostly play store and media related. You can remove them easily by touching and holding the widget for a second and dragging it to the 'remove' icon that appears on the top of the screen.
Yo can install and remove widgets the same way you would install a program from the play store, widgets can be accessed through the apps menu and dragged onto any of your virtual screens.

Thanks for the information. IT doesn't seem like 5 screens but I will move my icons to it and see if that does the job.
As for the widgets, this may have been covered in the next reply. Some of mine do nothing if I "click" on them and look like web pages or similar.

There are definitely 5 home screens but only 3 have widgets placed on them when you take it out of the box for the first time.

Sorted, thanks. Moved my widgets to the third home screen which now opens by default.
Is there any way to revert to the way the nexus 7 originally was? I think the homescreen rotation was locked, as well as the lock screen. Nova can get the homescreen to stop rotating but the lockscreen still does.
I basically don't want any rotating outside of apps. It's too laggy and ugly.
does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

First of all i want to say thank you to all the people here who develop all the things to make us customize our phone in any way possible!!
Well.. My question. sorry if it is a stupid question.
After trying different themes and launchers i just want the original stock os/theme but to be able to change the icons, menu's, dock (and so on) to my wishes. Al of that i can do except for the icons (app icons) and the homescreen dock. (without using a launcher app)
So in my search I found xposed hoping to find an answer to the annoying homescreen dock on the samsung.. But i'm stuck with the original homescreen dock. I don't want the dock.. It's to big.. Don't like the (big) icons.
In my original samsung menu i can't seem to find a way to change the grid size, app size or to remove the dock whole.. Am i missing something?
Anyone have a solution for me?
Help would be truly appreciated!!
thanks and for all a very nice weekend!

Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
