There is a way to change the number of home screen panels (without root privileges)?
They are 5 by default, but I use only one

When home button is tapped it brings you to the last panel/screen you have until you have more then 4 of them, after that it will bring you to the 4th one if you tap home screen when already in the home screen. I think there should be a way to assign any screen as a default one but I couldn't find how.
Launcher Pro can do it. Of course if you like using the Touch Wiz interface it wouldn't work.
Preferences > Home Screen Settings > Default Screen
I like TW, so no way to do it in TW... that's a shame
Found this after looking through the tips thread. I like touchwiz too, too bad this can't be changed.
seriosuly this sucks, i want 3 screens, and the middle one (#2) to be the home but it always brings me to #3. annoying.
I had my screens down to three so I know you can remove some on ADW but I can't remember how I did it. Somehow I ended up with five again and now the homescreen button takes me to another screen and not the homescreen. Anyone know how to fix that? Looked in ADW and can't see anyway to fix it there.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you go to the launcher settings you can change the number of home screens. The home button is automatically allocated to the middle screen so if you have five, screen number 3 is the home. if you have 3 screens, number 2 is home
settings/edit you will see '+' buttons this will add more screens and a pin button to pin your desired home screen and an 'X' button to remove a home screen.
press the windows button while on the home screen (adw launcher) and click edit. it's tricky to use and remember.
^Worked like a champ. Thanks for the replies!
I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod lightly on my Nexus 4. Is there a way to customize my home button to always return to screen 1 instead of the most recently used screen? I know that touching it twice does it, but I was looking to make it 1 by default and use the back arrow to get to the most recent. I'm usign the default launcher Trebuchet. (I also can't find where to customize my home screen items.)
My research shows that this was the opposite way in earlier Android 4.x versions but somewhere along the line it switched. Is there a setting that I can change or an app that I can use?
Hi, my phone has randomly decided to mix my home screens up so that now my main home screen is number 3 or so and the new main screen (house picture along bottom of screen) is a previously unused screen which is blank. So every time i turn my phone on i have to flick around to find my original home screen which is very slow and annoying. How do i re set the order of my screens so that my original one is the main (house picture) screen which appears whenever i use my phone? Thanks!
Solution
Found it! hope this helps others. Turns out it's not in settings. You just pinch the home screen. Then you can add, remove, change order and select default home screen. You do the latter by pressing the white house icon on the top of the screen which will then be highlighted in white all around its icon.
Hello all
I just picked up a AT&T S5e last night and was setting it up as much as I could the same as my AT&T Note 9, and for the most part everything worked fine, but in the section for Display>Home screen, there were two options I was trying to get working that would not.
The first was the Home Screen grid layout which for every time I tap on it, it just takes me to the regular full-size home screen and not the screen one that shows it smaller and with the few options below to change the grid layout.
Oddly it does this for the next option down of the Apps grid screen, but not the Home screen grid.
Then the second issue is the selection slider for the Apps button to have that button shown on the Home screen and for that the selector actually slides to the right an goes blue, but when I close this setting page and open it back up, its back to the left again as in that it did not save that selection.
Needless to say the Apps button is not on my Home screen either.
Oddly both of these work correctly on my AT&T Note 9 phone and both when it had Android 9 and now with the 10 upgrade, but they won’t do this on my S5e.
Also btw, I did do the One UI Home upgrade and its now showing it as version 10.0.35.14, and that it’s the latest version.
So has any one else had these same problems?
Thanks
