Change # of homescreens?

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.

Atools is multiplatform. And the default home button for the vogue is hold down the camera button until the call and end buttons light up.

Wow...
Ok i am an idiot

For the preferences in Launcer Pro Plus, click on the button on top of the phone and click on preferences at the pop-up menu.
Here's what I have that works well - under Behavior Settings --> Home Key Action is set to Do Nothing. Home key to default screen is unchecked.
Here's what really works though - go to Launcher-->Spare Parts and under End Button Behavior, select "Home, then sleep". This makes the red button the home button, because with Launcher Pro Plus, the camera button is a "last programs used" button and not a Home button.

[Q] Select text/copy/paste

Hello
After update to ICS,I am missing one thing: Copy/paste ability in text edit fields.
On stock ROM's there was the arrow button(I think designed by Samsung) with options. In ICS,there is the button,unfortunately only one option is available "Paste". No Select,no copy at all. It allows me actually only to move the cursor in the text,nothing else.
Is there a way,how to get this working on ICS ROM?
like this? http://theunlockr.com/2011/04/12/android-101-how-to-copy-and-paste/
or like this? http://www.google.com/imgres?q=sams...p=18&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0,i:90&biw=1275&bih=718
or something on Market?
Currently running on AlBa ZCLP6 Full ICS Repack v2
Thanks.

Look at the screen shot attached you will find 4 icons on the top right corner, they are :
Select all- Cut - Copy - Paste (from left to right)
You need to press on a word or a letter to see these icons, if you press on an empty space you'll only get Paste

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately youre'nt right.
No more options.
Look at this...
Edit: I found a way to get the options:doubletap on a word. Unfortunately it doesn't works all the time,for example xScope Browser takes doubletap as confirm,so I cannot make selection. Is there any 3rd party alternative of this feature?

Seems like you're using a TouchWiz ROM and that maybe the difference, am running ICS Stunner and I get that menu 100% all the time by just long pressing on a word..
Sorry mate

Have you tried click once more to the arrow?

Yes,I did it. Nothing happens. Stock button displays the menu,this does nothing more.

double tap works for me....
new to ICS and i never knew they changed this stuff..lol

This has been making me nuts for a while now -thanks for the post -the double tap worked (albeit it's a bit touch & go) - it at least does the job part of the time. :good:
Thanks!

How to assign quicklaunch shortcut keys?

As the title asks. GB had an option in Settings. But ICS doesn't. Anybody know how to assign different quicklaunch?

Do you mean the double-click on Home button shortcut? That has been moved to the Accessibility section of the config. Otherwise I'm not sure what you are referring to.. so hope this helps!

I think he may be referring to the search+"*" like search+y used to bring up YouTube... I remember there being a topic on this in soak test but I do not recall the solution...
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app

This was the workaround for the droid 3, but I believe it will work for the droid 4 also.
Nevermind I figured out a workaround via Google. Pain in the ass there has to be a way to unhide it but if anyone is interested the steps I took were...
1. Must be using either nova or apex launcher
2. Long press on home screen and select shortcuts
3. Select activities (for whichever launcher you are using nova or apex)
4. Scroll down and select settings
5. Scroll down and select Quick Launch (the first one) and it should create the shortcut icon on your desktop
The shortcut takes you to the old quick Launch menu that allows you to assign the keys but I don't know where Google hid it thru the regular menu. Hope this helps anyone as much as it's gonna help me if not then what the hell you read it for? Lol

Bum. I need it to get to my launcher settings.

I don't have my N6 until tomorrow, but if it's anything like the note 4 you just long press the recents button. Like I said though.. Don't have the phone or Lollipop yet (coming from note 2).

There aren't any in the stock Google Now Launcher but you can get into them via Settings>Home and then press on the option of the 3rd party launcher (assuming you're using one)

Normally launchers have a shortcut built into them for the menu button. For example in nova long press on wallpaper and choose settings.
