[Q] Removing Additional Home Screens - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got the GoTab 7" tablet recently and have been trying to tidy it up a little. I don't like the way there are four home screens - I only need one! I thought the likes of Nova Launcher would address this but it appears not to allow me disable additional screens. When I attempt to remove the screen by dragging it into the X at the top of the screen, it just bounces back into it's original position. I can move the screens around, but dragging and dropping onto or above the big X does absolutely nothing.
It's running 4.2.2 with no option to check for updates. GoTab say that if it's not showing an update check, than there is no update available.

[Q] Changed number of home screens in Tegro not showing correctly

Hi
I'm running the Tegro Rom 2.4.1 for my GSM Hero, and generally, very happy with it.
Under Personalise, there is an option to change the number of home screen pages from 5 to 7. I did that and it worked initially.
Now, I have noticed I am back to 5 home screens again - and the option under personalise is now greyed out and cant be changed.
I have installed a few themes in the meantime, perhaps one of those has caused problems with it.
Is there any way to get back my 7 home screens - a feature I really enjoyed?
I would have posted this in the actual Tegro forum itself, but it does not allow me to as I've not had 10 posts yet.
Here's the forum:

Thanks!

[Q]: is there anyway to reassign the homescreen?

tw allows you to edit how many home screens you have, which is nice because seven just seems like too many for me. however, it always keeps the default home screen at 4, which is really ridiculous. so if I want to have 5 home screens, my default home screen will always be 4...I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution for this that is not a launcher app. which I don't really want to do because I really like touch wiz. Is there a solution to this problem or not?
also if any dev would maybe want to include something like this in their build? not sure if it is a pressing issue with anyone else I'm just annoyed by the blatant oversight on samsungs behalf.
lol.......................................
^that's not constructive.
Get LauncherPro. This will solve your problems.
cant say i figured out how to edit the default home action.
but i suggest keeping all 7 possible windows, and keeping your "home" stuff on page #4. if you dont wanna use the "farther out" pages like #1 and #7 then leave em blank, thats what I do.
Which Screen?
Which screen do you want for your home-screen? An example of how I set a screen as home.
I have 3 screens, but TW wants screen 3 to be home. I want screen 2 to be home.
I add widgets and shortcuts to screen 1 and 2 and delete all screens besides those two.
That defaults home to screen 2.
I then try to add a widget that will not fit on either screen.
TW then automatically adds an additional screen to compensate for the new widget; screen 3.
I then delete the widget and have 3 screens with screen 2 as home.
TouchwizGTG, look it up.

Please put your questions to: Vibrant Q&A
Just pinch and zoom out on the current homescreen. It will pull up a veiw of all your screens. There you can move them around and delete unwanted pages.
One thing I know is the Verison fascinate ( there galaxy S ) you can select which screen is there home on the tw launcher.
You might try getting one of there roms and pulling their launcher out of it and putting it in yours.
Make sure you backup your good TW launcher.
Make sure you have another launcher installed. ( just in case it dosen't work...
Good luck...

[Xperia S] Parts Of Screen Don't Respond

I recently recieved my Xperia S back from Sony today as I had the yellow tint issue. That seems to be gone 'fingers crossed' but it seems like I now have a more annoying issue
The bottom right of my screen is less sensitive than the rest of the screen. For example when unlocking my phone I find it very hard to get the unlock icon from one side to the other. It gets to about where the camera Icon is and then it goes back to where I dragged it from. It take me about 5 attempts to get it unlocked.
Also when draging icons on the homescreen to the far right position on the homescreen dock and I can have some trouble picking up the icon or moving it there.
I've found a part of my screen that doesn't respond at all! On the app drawer the icon next to the sorting option (Manage Applications button) doesn't respond at all. I've tried clicking it over 20 times and nothing has happened. If I drag the status bar down over the icon it doesn't recognise that my finger is touching the screen and then the status bar falls the the bottom of the screen.
I've tried restoring my phone and trying a newer firmware but the problem is still there. Did they do something wrong when they put my phone back together? Is there anything I can do rather than sending it back to Sony?

[Q] Screen and background question.

Hi, is there a way to move the screens around without having to move all the icons one by one? It seems when you add the screen it puts it at the end and it is a pain in the neck to insert it somewhere in the middle. My phone is not rooted and I don't want to use a different launcher.
Also, is there a way to set the background to pan as you go from screen to screen?
Thanks...

[Q] Alter device screen size & origin?

Hello. Does anyone know of an app or hack that will allow me to constrain the OS display to a certain size and position on the physical screen? I have a Nexus 7 that I would like to use for an antique radio mod project. It would live behind an opening in the wood case. But the screen is too big (in both dimensions) for the opening. So I would like to be able to make the OS think it is working with fewer pixels and choose the new origin. That way I could keep the notification bar at the new top, the soft buttons at the new bottom, and see both new edges.
Thanks for any pointers!
