General :: Home Screen Settings / Layout?
Apr 14, 2013
I need to do aa Factory Reset of one of my rooted android devices. I have the Home Screen pages set up just the way I want them to be and am trying to avoid having to reconstruct them once the Factory Reset has been done. I'm assuming that all of theat data (wallpaper, layout, app widgets page and position location is stored somewhere.
So, where do I find it so that I can make a copy of it and then restore it once I've rooted the phone again.

I am creating a new settings screen for my app and want to keep the look and feel similar to that of the standard applications. I have seen many 3rd party apps also follow this style (Twidroid for example) and would like to know how best to go about creating this look?
Is there a "template" or Activity I can use or is it a case of constructing it from a table layout or similar?

After fiddling around with my home screen layout for a couple weeks now, I've settled on what works for me. The problem is, I have one of my seven pages sitting empty! So I'm looking for suggestions. I'll let you know what I've already got covered:
Toggle switches
Program, contact, and bookmark shortcuts
Music, weather, notepad, and calendar widgets
I'm not interested in Twitter and I haven't found the stock text or email widgets to be that useful because I can only see one at a time and usually have to link to the full program. The icons with unread number are working well enough.I'm looking for any cool widget or folder ideas that I may have passed over on the market, or creative layout ideas.

With a home screen widget I'm trying to layout. Basically, I'm trying to layout my widget so it matched a standard home screen application shortcut perfectly. Basically, at this point, I'm about ~2px off. Has anyone got this to match up just right? Should I be able to find this layout in the source somewhere? Here's my layout thus far:

I use HTC Sense on my phone, the problem I have is my phone is not saving my default home settings. When I push the home button it asks me which program I want to use to complete the action (either andriod Home or HTC Sense), I always click the box indicating I want to use this option as default every time I push home but 10 minutes later when I push the home button again it asks me again which program I want to use. I have double checked in my settings and it shows HTC Sense is set as my default home setting but something just isnt right.

does anyone know where the setting is to change your exchange password / pin that is required by IT teams at most large corporations? I've been in to Email > Account Settings, and also to the general Home > Settings and can't find it anywhere.I set it up the first time I set up the account on the phone, but can't find anywhere to change it or to change the duration in which the pin should be input (every thirty-minutes, hour, etc.).

How can i create layout style similar to settings in Andriod emulator? Example, in andriod T mobile, you can see, under settings, list of settings like Wireless control Call settings Sound & display Security & location etc are displayed ine by line accordingly with with brief description of each title provided with down arrows.
I would like to create to use in my application for list of items. But i cant find any tutorials similar to that display. I only found out like list view on the whole black background.
I just want to display like the settings display in emulator?

I am unable to find in Settings the option for choosing the lock screen widgets.
I enter this option only from the Add button from the lock screen. I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2.
Where can I find this option?

Where the config settings, calibration data etc for asus transformer prime touch screen (and touch pad as well) are saved? I know for files in /system/usr/idc/atmel_maxtouch.idc for example. What exactly do those numbers in the atmel_maxtouch.idc mean. I can imagine what some numbers mean but not all...

Every now and then, I get this weird screen when I press the home button on my Galaxy W.The only way to exit this screen is to press the back button. Sometimes pressing the home button again will bring me back to this screen.The first few times it did this, it prompted me to run it through either Accuweather or Clock. After I deleted Accuweather, it defaulted to running through Clock, as seen in my task manager.

I'm currently running OS 2.3.4 and just recently I've noticed there's a spot on the top right of my home screen that when i move an icon to that area the icon disappears. I can arrange icon all around that spot and everything's fine, but when I try to put an icon in the spot it disappears. So now I have a blank spot on my home where i can't place an icon.

What i'm trying to achieve probably requires an app, and I realise there are a couple of different ways I could go about it. I'm going to deploy 30 android tablets to a classroom in the College where I work, and since I love android, i'd rather not see this little experiment fail. Through a combination of "App Lock" and a widely distributed MDM, I have been able to accomplish most of my requirements, however i'd still like to be able to lock down the home screen, in particular, remove the ability for users to change the wallpaper (I have a nightmare that this feature would be abused from day one!).
I have looked at using different launchers (tried Apex and Smart Launcher) which nicely lock down the home screen, but they still allow users to change the launcher preferences which makes that approach a bit pointless.

Is it possible to remove the home screen from a rom with android 2.3.4 and sense 2.1, by editing the rom itself.
I know that the android version 2.3.4 (cool ic sense) doesn't allow this function, as it was added later in newer android versions (or sense versions?).
Either way, is it possible to go inside the rom and edit the sense launcher, so that it only shows 3 screens for example.

Two things I'd like to be able to do with my incredible.First is reduce the number of homescreens. Seven is really pointless for me, it makes finding the right screen take a little longer and there's just not enough good quality widgets that I need to use. I could do better with 5 and possibly just 3.Second is that when I'm not on a homescreen and I hit the home button, I'd like it to go back to the LAST homescreen I was on, not the center one. And if I'm already on a homescreen, once again pull up the homescreen select menu, instead of going to the center homescreen. It's a waste of a button press to always go to that center screen when pressing the home button.

I updated my Droid Maxx to 4.4. The change I first noticed is that the home key takes you back to the home screen instead of just leaving an app and returning to the screen I was originly on. This is definitly new. Is there a way to turn it off?

Whenever I am using any app and press the home button, the home screen blacks out for a few secs and it takes around 10 sec to get all the icons back and before I can start using my phone again. I am using a non rooted mytouch 3g.
This problem does not happen if I exit an app by pressing the back button. It becomes very annoying at times.

This is more of an annoyance, but whenever I reply to a message off the home screen widget, it automatically defaults to the home number for that contact, instead of replying to the same (cell) number that it was sent from. If I go into the messaging app, it works as it should (replies to the same number).

I have a Atrix 4g and am using GoLauncher. I have several Documents and PDF files that I use regularly and would like to put them or a shortcut to them on a home screen so I can access them with only one or two touches. I have tried to put a folder on the home screen but it seems I can only put apps in them.

Samsung GS II, I9100, international version running Android 4.04. Latest version of GO Launcher. Running GO Windows theme.
I cannot figure out how to add a new home page. I'm at ten right now. If I use Settings/Edit to get the multiple page view of home screens, there is no plus sign to add a home page. I must be missing something.

I've only had my Nexus 5 about two weeks so I'm very new to android. How do you get the expanded widgets (via lock screen) on the home screen?
Home screen - [URL]
Lock screen - [URL]
The versions on the home screen are tiny and I can't get them to expand, I'm not sure if I'm overlooking a setting or something.
I did a google search and turned up nothing but I keep seeing images of people having expanded dashclock looking widgets on their homescreen so it must be possible. :/
I hid the clock hoping that'd force them underneath it and expanded but nada.

Can you undo an action like erasing a folder on the home screen? I accidentally erased a folder on the home screen but couldn't find any undo feature in Android. I had to recreate the folder.

For some reason I'm having problems deleting the widgets by dragging them into the bin. 9 times out of 10, the rubbish bin refuses to appear when I long press on a widget.
Is there another way - eg some settings menus somewhere or maybe a file that I can edit.
I am rooted
