Hello all, recently, i realized the 'delete' icon from the gallery app has been replaced by the screen mirroring icon (even though screen mirroring is not turned on). If i want to delete photos now, I have to press the left key and hit 'delete' or hold the photo down to select it... before deleting it.
I have tried all means and ways to get the delete icon back, cleared cache and data from the gallery app, turning on and off screen mirroring etc... restarting all... but it does not seem to come back at all.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the 'delete icon' back? been trying to search for answers but couldnt find one so far. Here's a screenshot for you... i believe most of you would have the delete icon in place of the screen mirroring icon

Bump!
What firmware are you on?
I used to have the delete button in the action bar too but once i upgraded to MEA, I have to delete images from the menu list instead as you have described.

i updated the software recently to the MEA version and bam! the delete icon just went missing.
Anyone has any solution to this? I dont need the screen mirroring icon! I need the delete icon!!!
It is not at activated at the top anymore it's activated at the bottom.
Long press the thumbnail... the delete icon will appear along with multi select.

That is what i've been doing for a while now, but frankly... i would much prefer to have the delete icon back.
Anyone has any workaround solution to this?
I think if you press the menu button on the phone there's a delete option there too.

The ui change cannot be worked around short of rooting the device to modify the gallery app or not rooting and using a third party gallery.

Has anybody got lockscreen fully working? I'm using wanam mod to enable rotation. but sometimes when it rotates back to portrait, phone crashes and reboots. Also in landscape mode the screen only shows half of the wallpaper, the right half of the screen is black. I remember there was a fix for this problem back in note 1/note 2 days, but I just can't find it anymore. Any suggestion?

Alright, I solved the problem by installing gravitybox and set lockscreen wallpaper from there. and yes, before anyone asks, gravity box works for note 3.

I did a few things before everything worked.
1. Disable unlock effects in system settings.
2. Set wallpaper for both home and lock screen using system settings.
3. Disable any mod that allows multiple widgets on lockscreen and use the option in system settings only.
Try these first and see whether they work for you.

I had a module causing conflict. I disabled "samsung multiple widgets" module and everything was working fine.

Force close 'system ui' and then reboot your phone and see
If nothing works, fastboot the pure stock image.

My thought exactly. Go to the options/dev options and let it show the touches it registers on the screen.
All good suggestions - but have you had any feedback from the Jolla betatesters?
I just can't understand why Samsung would eliminate the one feature I truly like about TouchWiz, ie, the alphabetical list mode for the app drawer with the little letter tabs along the right-hand side to quickly jump through the list. Am I just missing something? I would really like to believe it is my stupidity in not figuring out how to turn it on, and not their stupidity in removing it for no reason.
If it really is gone, is there any way to bring it back on a rooted phone? I prefer not to use a 3rd party launcher.
Hit the 3 dots on the upper left side of the phone (your right) and select view as

Thanks for your reply. I do realize how to make the icons in the app drawer alphabetical. What I am talking about is the much more useful alphabetical list mode, as shown in the screenshot from my Galaxy Note 3.

Alphabetical LIST (not grid) is SUUUUCH a useful feature. I dont understand why they removed it in the latest software because its a step backward in doing so.
I've looked everywhere for an answer to this and everyone simply replies to the thread failing to realize that its a vertical scrolling LIST view (like your contacts), NOT swiping grid we are asking for. Doesnt anyone have a mod or solution?
This was one reason, not the only one but one, why I decided to stay with my HTC One M8 and sold the Galaxy S5. I have sinced move on to the LG G3 but I still wish I had that alphabetical list mode!
I cant imagine why there cant be a mod for this.
A toggle switch would also be nice for the new volte feature too.
Surprisingly enough I could not find this issue when using the search function. (maybe it is my search capabilities )
Just started using my S5 last week. Now when I touch the home button I get the message to use touchwiz-start.
When I press always (picture says "altijd") it looks like it does not safe this default.

It works for an hour or so, and then it is reset so I get this message again when I press the home button.
Searching for this it looks like a lot of people have this issue, but I do not see a working resolution.

Give this a try
Settings > Applications > Application Manager scroll across the screen to All, then scroll down to Touchwiz, you will see Touchwiz Home Easy and Touchwiz Home, check in both apps and if the options are not grayed out tap clear Cache and Clear Defaults, don’t clear Data as that will wipe home screen shortcuts and set up.
Press the back button to get to your Settings > Application screen and tap Default Applications then tap Home and Select Touchwiz Home, once selected press the back button twice to get to the Settings > Application screen then press and hold the Power button and select Restart.
If its cleared all the default data and reset it then your phone should boot into the default Touchwiz home screen, this should work, if it doesn’t then you have an app or something that is causing it so look at what you have updated or installed recently.

Well actually this triggered me to analyse some recent updates I did, and then I saw one app where somebody reported that it was trying to install itself as a touchwizz app. I deinstalled it et voila, problem solved.
I notified the creator of the app that the recent update he delivered is causing this problem.
So thanks for your input, it triggered me to look a bit deeper into the installed apps and solve this problem.

At least it got it sorted for you that's the main thing
Hi, I've read the manual but haven't found what I needed.
I'm trying to delete the Google Now screen that's left of the Home screen and then add something else. I can disable Google Now in APPS and get rid of the Google Now pane, but I can't seem to delete it. Without deleting Google Now I can't add my own pane to the left of the Home screen.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure that is a feature of the Xperia Launcher that comes with the phone. If you want your home screen to behave differently I'd recommend getting a different launcher from the play store. I personally use Nova Launcher, but there are tons of good ones out there.
UPDATE: Check post after mine for answer.

Then you'll need to downgrade your xperia launcher to one without that feature. Apk mirror under Sony mobile communications they have all Sony's stock apps listed

You can turn the Google now pane off by long pressing on the home screen, then settings bottom right, then turn the relevant slider off. (You can't do it via the regular settings, only the settings that you get to from long pressing the home screen!)
