Touchwiz default homescreen

I am using RocketRom and was wondering if there is a way to make touchwiz default screen as number 4 and not 1.
When I press the home button it should go to 4th screen(center) and not 1st screen(left most)

I just moved the first tile where tile 4 should be, but I too have struggled to find a way to set 4 as default. Perhaps it's going to need APK manager used on it and start digging around the xml files.

Since when you can sweep left of the leftmost screen and get to the rightmost screen, setting the default screen to any other number than 1 has lost all practical sense.
P.S. I agree it would be nice to be able to do so anyway but I am not using tricks/mods to set the screen no. 4 as home anymore as I don't need them anymore since "continuous sweep" has been introduced in the latest GalaxyS and GalaxyS2 ROMs (I have a Note now and it's had it from day 1). Only remaining reason would be "cosmetic" but "cosmetically" I personally like it better to have no. 1 screen set as home..

That was my point too as i said above the only "problem" is the not centered wallpaper, the static photos.

Yes, I was just agreeing with you and expanding a bit on the reason why

Can I have different wallpapers on the Nexus?

Is there an app or setting that will allow me to have a different wallpaper on my lock screen and home screen like on the iPad?
I tried an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It allowed me to have a picture for my lock screen, and a separate picture for my home screens. The problem was that the picture I was using for my home screens would take a second or two to load after I unlocked the device.
Perhaps there's another app that can yield better results, or some tweaks I can do with that particular app.

If you're willing to flash it, AOKP has that functionality

Doesn't just changing your wall paper change the lock screen?!

What about it?
He was on about using another app : Multi.....
I am saying doesn't just changing your background internally, (holding the homescreen and choosing gallery) also change the lock screen image?
Or does he want 2 images -
One for homescreen
One for lockscreen
If so my bad

Non-scrolling wallpaper ..

Is there a way to have a no-scrolling wallpaper without using a other launcher than stock ?

Incorrect. He can use Picspeed to set his non scrolling wallpapers on stock launcher.

Also try Wallpaper Wizardrii
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
It also allows you to set a wallpaper without cropping it.
I use "MultiPicture Life wallpaper"
It's a life wall paper, but with with the "single picture option" enabled it can acts as fixed background image.
It also doen's use any batt. when using the single pic option.

Is this normal for Nova Launcher Prime to do this?

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

yep, you're right. It depends on Nova and you can't do anything to solve it.
So nothing's wrong with my phone then?

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

LG launcher.. Change rows & columns?

Is it possible at all to change the rows and columns size using LG home and launcher? Or scrolling dock like Nova?

As far as I know you will have to use a 3rd party launcher.
