Home Screen Grid Snap - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all! I thought I saw an option to disable home screen grid snap in launcherpro, but when actually looked for it I couldn't find it. Anyway to disable the snap for widgets, shortcuts, etc, on the home screen?
Thanks
PS I searched pretty hard and found nothing on this.

Home screen help

On my Home screen it displays the weather and I am wondering where the setting is to have it display the temp in F instead of Celsius
I've looked everywhere and can't find it.
I would also like to install the iPhone theme. I did a search but came up with conflicting info on what to install.
Thanks
Have look for HTC Home Customizer (HHC).

I'll help you out on the weather part since I was easily confused at one point. In the screen where you select your City, the right soft key will take you to Weather Options, select Fahrenheit from that menu.

Thank you. I found it.
This phone does SO much more and has so many more things to set up then my SDA did so it's taking me some time to figure it all out. lol
I though because you didn't find it staight away it must be in the 3rd party customizer software rather than in the Config options.
Google for HTC Home Customizer and you will find it.
I really should have installed HTC Home and looked for myself before guessing

You talking about the clock and stuff? Just place everything where you want it.
i mean when you hit 'home' it goes to the screen on the RIGHT ... you have to scroll left twice to get to the third screen...

mine does that too now and I'm on cm 3.9.11.2. It goes to whatever screen my seach widget is on.
That happened to me once but then I realized I had five homescreens...
I've heard of people having issues after flashing from one rom to a different if they did not clear the widgets off their home before flashing.

It's not unusual (sorry but your name, c'mon how could i not?)
When i used to use OpenHome there was always an option in the settigns to configure which screen acted as the home screen.

Weather on Lockscreen?

Is it possible to get weather on the lock screen? I see all this wasted space at the top and seems like something should go there.

Ya I saw that. Not sure I like it. Sometimes the normal lockscreen comes up then the flyscreen. ANd I like the swipe to unlock not pressing a key.
This Flyscreen is great! However, now it unlocks too easily. Just thinking, would we get it so that only 2xhome-button triggers it.. or maybe iphoneesque swipe bar would fit there nicely.
Good app but I hate the menu to unlock, should be a swipe, but also wished the press menu button to unlock was taken out because A) I already know what button it is and B) if someone picks my phone up, then they won't know how to unlock it etc!
Simples.
Swipe at least for our own enjoyment (yes it's not secure but it's fun) Menu bit out as it's well a little too duh!
Good app though!
Another thing I'd like to see on this after using it for past day is the actual scrolling across to be more flowing, at moment it's more stuttering to each tab / news feed. - Oh and the Weather feed should update so the previous days are replaced for forthcoming days, rather than one standard weekly thing.

[Q] After root, how do you read a book?

Noob question(s): Once a NC is rooted, do you switch back and forth between the "pre-rooted" screens and the Android launcher screen? Do you have to download a B&N reader or do you use the reader already there?
Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge here - you guys are great!

answered your own question If you look at other people's screen shots, you can see a soft button right below the drawer icon... that button is Nook-specific and opens the regular Nook menu
Thank you, big - I hadn't looked at screen shots. I appreciate the answer and I am getting closer to taking the plunge.
You also have a Library app and Shop app that show up in any replacement launcher you install. About all you lose is the B&N homescreen, which you can still get to with Home Switcher.
I actually wish we could disable the popup menu...its redundant and I bump it often.

If you Run Zeam Launcher in "Full Screen" it is cover up the normal B&N Launcher. However you loss access to the soft back and menu buttons, and the notifications area.. Not really worth it.

Have you tried QuickShortcutMaker app?
You ever mess around with Activities widget option inside Nova? Maybe that can help?

I thought I had this figured out. Then went to use it and it went away. I can't figure out how to delete my response. So just editing away the bad information. ???
