Hey guys, first time posting. Hope I got the right forum. I have a stock Sprint touch pro 2. It's brand new so I'm hesitant to do any flashing. Anyway, is there any cab out there that will increase the number of apps available on the home tab on the home screen. Right now it's a 3x3 grid. The stock icons are huge, I would rather have icons 1/2 the size and have twice as many apps.
Is there a simple program out there that will do this, leave the phone unaltered except the size and number of apps on the home screen? I'm fine with the clunky touch flo jazz, I just want more apps on my home screen.
The easy way is to install cookie home tab and then the cookie home tab editor. Use the search button to find it
About the flashing, just go ahead and flash. If you make sure you use a gsm rom on a gsm device. And a cdma rom on a cmda device then nothing can go wrong. Just read a lot about it
You can always revert to stock and undo hardspl.
ps sprint = cmda.

...the text above the tabs (e.g. carrier/date above the clock, "weather," "launcher," etc.) on the HTC home plugin? I'm hoping by doing so the plugin will slide up to the task bar and give me a little extra real estate on the home screen.
Thanks

Why don't you use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374751
Two possible solutions for more today screen space
Not exactly what you want but you could try these programs.
You can use pmc todayshrink to remove the soft key bar at the bottom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342837
Or you could try ultimate launcher to make as many different Today Screens as you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366796
Thanks. Both are great suggestions and probably workable alternatives to what I had in mind. And b/c I obviously didn't do a good enough job explaining it, here's a screen cap that shows what I'm trying to remove...
Thanks again for replying.

Does anyone have a tweak for this? Kaisertweak didn't remove this for me unfortunately...
Are you running with or without the AT&T BloatWare?
I've removed the Bloat and I don't have that AT&T bar listed.
I'm running SPB Time, HTCHomePlug, Messaging, Calendar, and Tasks on my Today screen.
Date, OZIM_Plugin, Device Lock, Wireless, Music Plugin, and Owner Info are turned off.
sorry if this is a dumb question - trying out ahome and it only has 2 screens by default, where do I set the number of screens?
I think it's on aHome settings. On the homescreen press Menu > More to get to settings. Havn't used aHome since 1.1 so it might be a little different now.
hmm... i get menu / ahome menus then loads of choices. can't spot it! :/
Haven't used aHome in a long time, but I have a feeling that if you move an icon to the edge of the screen it will extend it and add a new screen. Maybe I'm thinking if something else...?

yessir that is correct
In the aHome menu, in settings, it allows you to choose number of screens, allows you to number (or mark) each screen, and so on. I can't tell you exactly because aHome doesn't work on my current ROM. Check display settings in the extra menu on the home screen. It's in the same menu where you change your fonts and drawers and stuff.
Thanks a lot guys - Adrian yep that's it, currently you drag an icon to the edge to make a new screen!

If you no longer require assistance with your question please edit the title or your thread with [SOLVED] (ie [SOLVED] set number of screens in ahome).
Thanks.
Done, cheers.
I love Cyanogen's roms. I just do not like his 5 home screens. I know I can just leave them blank, but knowing they are there bothers me.
is there anyway I can delete the extra home screens?
I tried using Akirah's, which works great I, but the usb to 3.5 mm headphone jack converter doesn't work with that rom. I need my music on the go!
From home screen tap menu>more>extended>homesreen....... This is were it gets a little buggy. The slide is reversed, If you put it to 7 you have 3 home screens, If you put it to 9 you have 1 home screen.

you can try that, but if it doesnt work its probably because cyanogen may not have bundled the advanced launcher in his rom because of its buggy-ness. if yo u really want it, some themers include the launcher or you can go to the development forum and grab it from the dev's thread. search "advanced launcher'
aHH, so if I get this advanced launcher on there I'm GTG?
Sounds like a plan.
Thanks guys!

My bad..... Just removed an experimental theme and all is well with advanced launcher. No reverse bug!
I have the same problem as OP, I dislike the amount of Home screens. However, I've tried Advanced Launcher and it seems to only slow down my system.
Does anyone know how to actually edit some file to manually change the amount of Home screens? Three is fine with me, I never had a problem with that number.
Question. I seem to have lost my home screen on touchwiz.now when I double click home it slides to the last page of however many pages I've set up no matter if I then shuffle them around each other. Additionally, in edit mode none of my home screen pages show a house icon, specifying home screen, ie the one touch wiz defaults to with home screen double click. anyone know how to restore a touchwiz home page?
There's no way to restore any screens once they get deleted on touchwiz . Sorry
Sent from my fonez so excuze the speling erors
just to be clear i'm not trying to restore a home screen that i've organized widgets and links with.. i'm just trying to reset one of the homescreens to the home one with a home icon. If you edit your homescreens you'll find that one of your screens has a house icon on it and thats the one touchwiz will swing to when you double click the home button.
Anyone?
you found one of the odities of the Touchwiz home screens. If you have less then 5 ( i think) the one on the end becomes your home and you can't change it. If you have 5 or more you can move them around to make the middle one home.
TouchWiz uses pane 4, or the highest number to it as Home. I've never found a way to change this. (aka 3 if you have 3...)
I too had this problem. The only way I found was to leave it on the 7 screen configuration, and just leave the end screens blank.
Hmmm. I seem to have stumbled into this as well. I didn't think it would be possible, but I deleted an empty page and now don't seem to be able to create a new one (now that I have more crap I want to load on one).
yes thats one of the bugs in touchwiz I think. Unless you have 7 screens; the rightmost screen becomes your Home screen. I tried looking for a solution for long time and no go yet. Lets wait for froyo update and may be a new touchwiz! btw you can always install launcher pro or ADWLauncher. But I think touchWiz is more sophisticated that those two.
There is a free app in the market, called SGS Screen Changer that let's you set the default screen when you use the Home Button (needs root and Busybox to work).
Good luck!
Hi guys,
Probably simple one but buggered if I can see it....
Have just upgraded to ICS via Kies (think I got one of the early german handsets that Expansys were selling before UK launch).
I can't seem to find how to change the main apps that are permanently showing at the bottom of the screen. I'm sure before I could just drag and drop them from main screen to menu bar.
Thanks
Click apps drawer and in there go edit Then can drag em'
Thanks, feel stupid not having seen that considering I'd been been on that screen so much while putting all my apps into folders.
Was trying to use edit when at home screen.
