For some reason I cannot create a folder on the homescreens. I move the app icon over another and it gets out of the way instead of creating a folder. Ive tried moving the icon fast and slow but it still refuses to create a folder for me.
Anyone else have this happen? Or did something change in 4.2.2?
Long press an app on your homescreen. At the top of your home screen you will see "Create Folder". Drag the app there and release. The app and the folder will now be on the home screen.

I dont know why I didnt see that. Its not as easy as the previous method, in fact its kind of a pain.
I wonder why they did this?

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

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.
Hi
I don't knew if anyone else has this problem, but I have just updated an app which had a widget on my home screen.
But now all I have in place of where the widget was its a clear space where the wallpaper is visible of which I can't put anything on it.
Its as if you try to put a shortcut on another short cut , you get that greyed out area appear, and this has happened to half of one of my half screens.
Sites r anyone know how to get that area back so I can put shortcuts on it?
Thanks

the old widget is probably still there but for some reason invisible. Try long pressing where it was and moving it to trash
If nothing else works, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications,
find Home Launcher and select Wipe Data.
It will erase everything on your homescreens, it will solve your issue
but you will have to set everything up again.
Is there anyway to remove the doc icon messaging and replace it with another? I've looked and looked not sure if it can be done. Does anyone know I don't want a different launcher.

figured out gotta be in applications and press the preferences button on left of home button.

Remember to go MenuButton>Save after you're done, otherwise it throws away your changes.
Pressing the back button will save the change as well.

This was driving me crazy today. I wanted to move Phone icon to middle so it is easier to reach one-handed, and put Camera icon on dock.
I finally found a post in the Epic 4G forum that explains the process. Works the same for Gnote. This should really be in the Gnote User Manual!
Application>Menu>Edit - drag out what you don't want, drag in what you do want - then Menu>Save to seal the deal.
Is it just me or is it nearly impossible to drag one icon on top of another to create a folder? It usually takes me 10-15 tries to create the folder. Every other time the icon just jumps out of the way.

It's because you're dragging them in slowly and the new launcher moves things around. Drag it on top quickly and it'll open up you'll see.
Or just long click and create a folder and add any app you want all at once. I do like the N7 folders, no need for a folder organizer app anymore.

I had read that somewhere else as well. To create a folder, you need to drag one icon over another fast. That's what I've been doing, and I've had no issues creating folders.
LOL yes the fast drag seems to work

Hi dears
I have Galaxy Note 3, and I used to unistall/remove apps by goin to the App Drawer, long press and drag it all the way up where it says Remove.
No, when I do that it's not working, it's just not dong any thing.
I found a work around by going to the App Drawer, hit the menu setting and from them tap on Unistall, but I really prefer drag and drop.
If any one know how to get this feature back, please reply
Thanks
I can't uninstall using that either. I have drag to app info and uninstall from that screen.
I assumed it to be a bug in the OS?
Works fine for me...
Edit: Oh. Right. No, sorry, I'm not using Touchwiz, I'm using Apex.
