-Custom

Just on the home screen, click on the menu key -> edit and move the desired ones to the trash
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Depends on some launcher you use.
Usually is used multi touch or menu key.
(Sorry for my bad english).

Hmm.. Thanks for the replies, but didn't do the job though.
I use [CM9][ROM][ICS 4.0.4][JUN02] Nova HD Rebuild v1.0.1 | LG UI 3.0.
When I double click on home screen, it zooms in and icons dissapear, don't know how to edit number of home screens. When I click on the menu button, I get the following:
Theme, Home Settings, App settings and System Settings. Tried them all, and couldn't find a way to remove any of the home screens....

It should be there in mostly home settings, or may even be in app settings...do double check it once...

Give a try at cyanogenmod forums and post it back, I am completely clueless.

Search Button Missing

I'm using Liquid Splasher and Apex Launcher because I like having a dedicated "search" button on my virtual hardware keys on my Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Tab? I've searched and can't seem to find a way to fix it. Any rom/launcher/theme suggestions to do it?
Stock launcher trebuchet.
Settings/launcher/home screen/ tick enable persistent search bar.

That's not what I mean. Look at the difference. From my S3:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Edit:
That last screenshot doesn't show it, but I only have the Home, Back, and Menu bottoms on the bottom.

The tablet layout is a little different. Tablets don't have the magnifying glass in the Navigation bar. Trying touching the Google button in the top left portion of the tab to search.

[Q] Weird dock shortcuts issue on LG Optimus L7 [SOLVED]

A friend of mine recently got this weird issue where the shortcuts on the bottom would overlap on top of each other.
See the screenshot below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, only the app drawer shortcut appears to be available as it's label is bright while the others' is dark and tapping on them does nothing.
Has anyone encountered such issue? I am aware that a hard reset might fix this but we do not want to do that. I was thinking of wiping data of the launcher but I am not sure if that has any risks of crashes. I've done data wiping of the launchers on my Samsung phones without any issues but I am not sure how LG's things work.
Just curious, isn't that a screenshot of phone before you changed the launcher?
I ment, you took screenshot and put that as a background.
That's because it IS a screenshot set as a wallpaper. Similar to the popular desktop pc prank with the "frozen" desktop. Just change the home screen wallpaper from Settings(Настройки).
Well that was weird. I never would've thought of that he would have such image applied. You guys turned out right.
Thanks for the help.

How to hide the "Full screen display" bar on EMUI 8

I'm writing this as a guide for my future self (and for the people who find nothing when searching).
If you're like me, you're happy with your Huawei experience (except for them nerfing the bootloader unlock thing), but one thing I hate is this bar.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When it shows up, I usually click it, then click OK, and the game or app I'm using becomes full-screen most of the time. It doesn't really bite me until I open an app like DuckTales Remastered, which doesn't work in full screen mode. This is when you notice that the bar can't be hidden or dismissed, and you will often touch it by accident, making the confirmation dialogue pause the app and break your immersion, or worse, the app restarts in full screen and you lose all your progress.
If you have this problem, download hide full screen by huawei by kaipochi, and open it. Permit it to draw over apps, and you will have a bar display over the full screen bar. You click the number to cycle through three sizes depending on your phone, you can click the bookmark to change the size settings and create shortcuts that open the app with the bar, and click the X to close it.
Hope this helps EMUI 8 users!

lock screen flashlight shortcut toggled by tap

This is too specific for googling,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go into settings > lock screen > shortcuts
and then place flashlight as one of the shortcuts (which I recommend by the way), and lets say, place camera on the other side..
For some reason, the flashlight is (also) toggled by tap rather then swipe like the other widgets.
(same thing for the Do Not Distrub mode)
This causing a lot of accident toggles from edge palm holding and I find my flashlight on by accident multiple times..
I couldn't find any way to change the way the flashlight is toggled, swipe is perfectly fast enough for me and secure enough to avoid accidental toggles.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
I had the same issue and after the last update, it went back to swipe.

Use of fuel screen

I can't figure how to have Word on one screen and a keyboard on the other screen. Need help in general, but most important how to use Word on one and keyboard on the other.

Should say Duel Screen.
You can have it that way in lanscape mode only
You have to click here on the keyboard and it will appear in the second screen
