I imported all my old snb notes and its kinda annoying how the slide part gets selected and moves around everytime i try to write on top of it.
Is there a way I can disable the select function?

Empty Boxes in Programs Tab

Hi,
I've installed several apps and tweaks on my TP and I believe one of them gives a very undesired side effect - just not sure which one.
In the Programs Tab I have now a third page of place holders - except, they don't do anything. I can't load another app onto them. And if I try, they stay blank but another place holder appears next to it, making the page longer and longer.
I have not figured out how to get rid of them or use them or reverse the effect. But it does give me trouble getting to the second page of the usable soft buttons. It just quickly scrolls past it.
If anyone has any ideas, I would like to hear them.
Possible culprits: Advanced Configuration Tool or AE Button Mapper....
Found the Solution / Fix!
You can only have 18 icons in the programs tab, the new one/s that keep popping up are useless. You can get rid of them by going in to your registry and delelting the offending entries.
Navigate to - HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\
In here look for a key that does not belong, you should have 0-17, when I get a rogue program icon it is usually listed as 100. Delete the whole key and voila the icon is gone. You don't have to reboot all you have to do is navigate to another tab and back to programs and the icon will be gone.

[Q] Browser History and Bookmarks. Where are they?

Update: Wow I'm an idiot. There's an icon right on the address bar that opens the exact window I'm thinking of. In my defense, I don't think I used to have to access it this way. I seem to recall there being a menu option. Who knows. I bricked my G1 so I can't go look.
On my G1 I could long-press on the Back button and get my browser history. I've read elsewhere that this is the case on other phones. This is mysteriously missing from the Vibrant. Plus there used to be a menu option to see it. I can find no way to access the history using the "Web" app. There is a button in settings to clear the History, but what's the point if no one can ever see it?
Same with Bookmarks. I can create bookmarks, but there don't appear anywhere! The button that normally shows bookmarks (if I recall correctly) is now an "Add RSS Feeds" button. The only way I've been able to access bookmarks is by creating a shortcut on my home screen. That's pretty ridiculous.
I seem to remember bookmarks, history, and possibly the open window list all being in one spot with a tabbed interface. All I can get to now is the open window list. EDIT: No, wait, I think it was bookmarks, history, and downloads all in one place. I was using CM5 at the time if that matters.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Also, does anyone else think it's annoying that the browser has it's own brightness setting and you can't just tell it to use the normal brightness setting? I understand the idea behind the future. You spend a lot of time staring at the screen when using the browser, so it's nice to be able to dim it to save battery power, but I sure wish there were an option to just make it use the normal brightness, because I really don't care. This is especially annoying when I have the brightness in the browser all the way up, and I'm using the reddit app at night in my bed, and I click a link. BAM! I'm blinded by the bright screen and have to keep staring at it to go find the setting to lower it.
I think Samsung made some really dumb mistakes with their version of Android. I know that custom roms solve these problems, but users shouldn't have to hack their phone to get basic features like access to browser history and bookmarks.

[Q] How to change dock shortcut back to a plus

Hi guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change a dock shortcut back to a plus sign.
I clicked on the plus sign to create a shortcut to an app but wanted to revert back to nothing being there (just the 'plus' sign to add a shortcut). But the only thing I found was 'X Blank' which leaves a blank space now. It just looks weird with a space next to all of the plus signs.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but haven't been able to fine the answer. If anyone could help me that would be great. I'm using Froyobread v020.
Yeah annoying isnt it, LOL?
I ended up resetting to default settings :]

[Q] looking for specific rom tweak: swipe to answer..

I recently posted a question about how to figure out what specific tweaks the different roms have...could not figure out how to find what I am looking for.
So here is what I am looking for: I recently switched from the Samsung S2 and now have the EVO 4G LTE. Now, don't get me wrong, I love this phone, but...I reeeeeaaaaaly miss the swipe features. For instance when in the contacts list you can swipe left for call (it will dial and start ringing automatically) or you can swipe right to text (will go right to start a text message for that contact). And another feature I miss is when answering a call is a swipe, not a press.
It is whole lot easier and SAFER to just swipe with thumb to answer without having to look down to make sure I TOUCH the right button in just the right place..know what I mean?
If anyone knows of a rom where this has been tweaked in, I would love to know. If it hasn't been tweaked in, maybe a developer will see this and incorporate it into a new ROM.
did you ever get any responses about this? is it possible?

Removal of page ending scroll curve

Hello,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I'm just curious if it would be possible to remove that little notification "bubble" curve which indicates if you have reached the top or bottom of a page. I don't even know what that little thing is called, and I'd rather remove it as it's rather useless and I don't like the feature at all.
I'm running rooted Lollipop with Nova Launcher on Mlais M52, cheap china phone. Asked my friends with Marshmallow and seems like they are not having that "bubble" on every single menu, just WhatsApp or FB messenger. I'm getting it even in app drawer which makes it rather annoying as I prefer to scroll from top to bottom instead of left and right.
Found something from StackOverflow, but seems like the feature is not called "FadingEdge". I'll add a screenshot with that "bubble curve" if my explanation was way too confusing

Couldn't figure how to upload a direct screencap to the reply. Here you go:
