Hey all!
I know it might sounds stupid, I'm kinda new to this Andorid stuff
I have the MDJ Revolution HD v.1.2 on my HD2 and can't figure out how to remove\delete shourcuts from the all apps screen, Not the home screen, the all apps screen
I tried everything, can't drag them anywhere cause it says my home screen is full and when it's not, i tried to drag them down and delete them but... Nothing
I'ts there a way to totally remove\delete them from the apps screen- it's a mess!
Thanks guys,I hope you'll make my week by helping a new stupid guy solve this out
=)
From homescreen, click menu button to bring up menu c screen, click menu and find application in menu setting screen. On application manager screen, choice and click on application you do not want and uninstall it. Rhis method will uninstall your application,therefore to have it back, you have to reinstall it.

Thank you for your answer !
But i guess you got me all wrong, i don't want to Uninstall apps.. just to remove the shorucuts of them on the all apps screen( once again, I'm NOT talking about the Home Screen - just about the All Apps screen. I moved my shourcuts to folders like;games, media, etc...
now all I want to do is to remove the annoying shourcuts (Igot too many) from the all apps screen.
Got it now? I wanna keep my apps, got them all in folders,,, now please help me remove the shourcuts on this all apps screen
thanks again!
That's down to the launcher. What launcher do you use? (Please say launcher pro!)
Oh yeah, and I'm not being all "know-it-all" like, cos I don't, but it's the App Drawer. Other people will at least know what you mean if you call it something we recognise

I'm afriad I don't use one or know what that is.... Yeah, i know, I'm new to this, and new=stupid.
If you understand my problem with the shourcuts on thr all apps screen i'd love to know what you got to say about it.
thanks man
New don't mean stupid mate - you are stupid if you're stupid though
The launcher is the homescreen, with all your shortcuts and widgets on it, and encapsulates the app drawer as well.
In your case, since it's a HD build, I'm guessing that means Desire HD, and I'm also guessing that you have Sense on there.
Is that right?

Yeah!!! 100% right.
Okay. Do you want to keep Sense? I only ask because I use something called Launcher Pro, which is basically like your desktop, with widgets and shortcuts, but it also encapsulates the app drawer. With Launcher Pro you can hide shortcuts from the app drawer, but I've never seen this in any other launcher, including Sense.
Is there a way to keep sense and still be able to remove the shourcuts i don't want?
I like the sense thing.
Its just weird I can't find a way to deal with this all apps screen and edit it somehow.
btw- thanks for helping, =)

No worries mate, but as I said, Launcher Pro is the only launcher I know of with this option. It's something that would be in the launcher itself - not something that could easily be added on.
Got it. so I guess Sense and removing shourcuts is something that can't be done,
Thanks again.

Not that I'm aware of. Unless there's some hidden method within Sense itself then I'd imagine that you're asking for new functionality, which would need re-coding and a rebuild of Sense.
I've had a bit of a google and couldn't find anything else either.
I know it's not ideal, but try Launcher Pro. It's in the market and it's free (there's a paid version with some more options). When you press the home button you'll get asked what launcher to use, so you can toggle between Sense and Launcher Pro (and the default Android Launcher) and see which you prefer. It'll mean setting up all your pages again, and you won't have access to the HTC widgets in Launcher Pro, but there's swings and roundabouts.
If you don't like it, you just uninstall it and go back to using Sense. It won't affect your current Sense setup at all, so you won't lose anything.
Hello all, this is my first post here.
I have a simple question: is it possible to modify the number of screens in honeycomb ?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Use ADW Launcher EX! Blows the stock launcher out of the water and you can set that too. And it's smooooooth and fast too.

When you install ADW launcher and press on "home" a box should appear in the center of the screen saying whether you want to launch "Launcher" or "ADW Launcher EX"... select the Always do this and ADW Launcher EX.
If you want to reset it: go into settings -> applications -> manage applications -> find adw launcher ex -> clear defaults
Under "Launch by Default", ADW says "no defaults set". Do I have to reinstall? When I hit the "home" button, the TF takes me to the stock launcher.
EDIT: reinstalled, same problem.
EDIT: Found "Launcher" under the "All" tab and cleared that. Fixed.

Download home switcher (or similar) from the market and you can easily switch between launchers.

So, I've been using Titanium backup (full paid version) on my phones and tablets for a while, and I LOVE it, but I can't figure out how to backup the layout of my icons with it.
On my old phones I used Launcher Pro, so when I restored my apps + data it would install LP and it's data (and it's backup), there-by placing all my icons where I had them (minus widgets), which was super easy and awesome. Loved it.
Well, I don't have a need for an aftermarket launcher on my Galaxy 10.1, and as it's just added processes, I don't want to use one. So, how can I back up my icon layouts (and widgets if possible, but I doubt it) on my home screens so that I don't have to manually place them each time I try a new ROM? And if this isn't possible in TB, is there another app I could use for this?
Much appreciated...

MIUI ROMs have this function built in.
You might also check out FileExpert and/or myBackupPro...but I don't think they'll have what you're looking for.

Yep. MIUI, pronounced "my U I" (my user interface). But if you haven't gotten into flashing ROMs yet, then you might not find what you're hoping for.
Here's a link, if you're interested in the literature. But a word of caution, if you screw it up...you might wish you hadn't tried.

Look around youtube for a tour of MIUI ROMs.

Can you not use tb to backup desktop touchwiz launcher? Would that not backup the layouts as well?
---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------
Yes you can. Just tried it then deleted a icon and restored data which put the icon back .

That didn't work for me earlier. Do I have to have a specific app/rom to do that?
MyBackup Pro has an option to backup your home screen layout, it won't backup your widgets but atleast the placeholders will be in the right spot & it can restore all your apps shortcuts on the home screens!!
ADW will do that

What I did was open tb, find [descktop] touchwiz launcer in app list. It should be highlighted green. Then I just backed up like normal and closed tb, then deleted a shortcut icon off my homescreen and went back to tb, found touchwiz launcher again, pressed it and pressed restore and chose data only. Went back to homescreen and deleted shortcut was back.
Just incase you did somthing wrong

Never thought to back up the launcher, thanks for that trick. Wouldn't this be a problem if switching to different roms though if they use different launchers(like backing up a stock launcher on a touchwiz rom), correct me if im wrong.
I just tried this as well. On my Galaxy Note 2 it is called TouchWiz Home. When I restore it, it only restores the deleted pages, and icons, not the widgets. So, how do I backup the widgets?
I wanted to remove all icon names permanently, but i don´t want to use a app like desktop visualizer, instead i would like to flash a mod or something like that. Is that possible? I am running a stock rom. Thanks.

Hello.
I'm using PA 4.4.3 RC1 and the GEL is built-in.
I installed Apex launcher and set it as the default but the phone keep asking me which launcher I want to use almost everytime I press the home button.
No matter what I do.
I also tried to disable the GEL with Root Uninstaller Pro and It's still working and keep asking me which launcher to use.
What can I do?

Make sure you have set Apex launcher always and then delete the GEL launcher from root,done. Keep a nandroid just in case

I did set the launcher to run always, and disabled the GEL.
I don't need the GEL right now and I can uninstall it.
If I uninstall it and then dirty flash the Gapps it will bring back the GEL?

make a video of what you are doing because honestly its nothing more than choose home screen and hit always. I understand you may be doing that but it may be difficult for others to fully understand your issue and some visual will help.
or download another launcher and see if it still happens

I can't get this "bug" to happen again..
If it will happen again I will just uninstall the GEL, can I flash Gapps and it will install the GEL again if I want?
