[Q] How to edit the number of home screens for the Cognition ROM

Hello. I recently upgraded my Cognition ROM, however, ever since using cognition, I've never been able to find out a way to edit the number of homescreens. There are seven that I have, however, I can not find an option to only have, let's say, three home screens.
Is there a way to go in and make it so that there are only a specified number of homescreens, for example, an option that allows adding or deleting homescreens such as in the Eclair 2.1 base OS.

Try menu, edit. Should bring up previews if screens and have options to remove

Well, that's the thing... under menu, there is no option for edit. Only "add", which adds widget, etc., "wallpaper", "search", "notifications", and "settings" which brings up the regular settings menu...

I am sorry last I was on cognition that worked
Some launchers you can not delete home screens

If I am not mistaken the launcher that is the default launcher is a version of TW launcher with no settings. Download Launcher pro.
Edit Just looked at the change log and the launcher that is included has no settings. So just download the launcher you want and run with that

It's probably the stock gingerbread launcher, which I hate, and is slow, I just use LauncherPro with custom dock and icons.

Cognition comes with launcher2 which, by default, cannot be edited like that. Install adw or launcher pro to get the same feel. Adw is actually based on the launcher2 source code, unless I'm mistaken. Your only option to edit those settings is to install another launcher app

Thank you'll so much! I didn't figure there was a way. I have used LauncherPro in the past, so guess its back to another Launcher!
Thanks again!

[Q] Screen mirrored/flipped problem

Has anyone experience the flipped screen?
it happens when the screen awake from sleep, but not all the time. I don't know what causing this, it seems to happen randomly, I tried different holding positions even upright when awaking the screen, it still flipped. Once it is flipped, either activate screen capture or reboot the phone will correct the problem.
anyone have idea what is happening on my phone? Screen capture files start piling up in my note's storage....
oh.... the touch on screen is also flipped as well; touch on the left side, appeared on the right....
my phone is flashed with rocket rom v22 and abyssnote v4.2
thanks in advance...

happens to me from time to time on LB1,
no need to reset though, usually it's enough to filp it few times and/or run any app which can use landscape mode

Check the sgs2 threads... I can't remember for sure,but think this results from a combination of certain tweaks in custom roms (fancy rotations and crt on or off, maybe?). I know it was discussed on Shoman's SHOstock thread in the ATT sgs2 subforum. Cut the right tweak off and it goes away forever.
EDIT: found the post...

Thanks for the replies. Great to know that I am not alone. I use pattern lock to lock my phone, so flipping won't work at the lock screen. It get me really annoyed if I want to use the phone in a hurry.
Thanks for the sgs2 link, I will have a look and hopefully it will give me a cure.

Do you have CRT ON selected in JKay settings? Or have you enabled via some other workaround?
It is a well known cause of mirroring after turning the screen on and all you have to do to get rid of it is switch it off in JKay Deluxe settings.

Yes it was on before in the Jkay setting. I have turn it off now, hopefully no more mirror problem. Thanks

Happens occasionally since I've had jkay cart on enabled. Just swap to landscape and back, or restart. No permanent fix known, last I checked.

You need to disable CRT ON animation !!!!
CRT OFF animation is fine.

Correct... or disable/choose a ROM w/o fancy rotations... it is the combination of the two that causes the problem.

Got the same problem using my Galaxy S2 having just moved to my countries version of ICS (South Africa XFA).
Didn't have any problems using Checkrom.

Found a solution.
Go to Settings>Network and get into the advanced settings of your mobile (3G) network operator and clear the APN Proxy settings (Not the Wifi but 3G proxy settings).
Worked for me on my SGS2.

Thanks but my tab is a 7310 wifi only, no 3g...

IP of the country you live
I got the same problem. It only happened after I left the US. Thus, I thought that would be the IP address of the ISP we use. I will not talk about this since I am not a professional.
My solution is that I employ VPN to make a connection to my old school in the US and it works.

i have the same problem with HTC HD2 (ICS+CM9). In my case the problem is related to my router (TP-Link TL-WR1043ND). When i switch it for testing with Linksys WRT54 the problem was gone and all icons in google play where loading. Unfortunately i haven't found i solution yet.

Maybe if you go to settings > applications > all and select google play store and empty buffer. Then reboot.
Removing updates can also solve it.

Not working. Even if you uninstall and reinstall "no-icon" app, the icon won't go back. Really weird.
(SGS3, Stock JB, just rooted)

[Q] ICS - how can I remove Settings from notification window?

Hi all,
with the upgrade to ICS, there is now the Settings option always in the notification window when you pull it down.
Is there any way to remove this?
It just takes up space preventing me from seeing notifications I actually want to see.
It is not difficult to get to the settings screen by just pressing the menu button and then selecting Settings, so it's not really any more efficient.
Plus, once you have you phone setup, you don't really need to go into settings that often (I use widgets to toggle things like wifi, BT, gps, rotation, screen brightness and timeout).
thanks,
Rich

Having same question
Yeah, I just upgraded to ICS today and would like to remove that Settings from notification too... Anyone?

Same here.
Anyone else noticed their phone getting a lot hotter than it did on gingerbread? :s

Its a feature in stock ics. If you want away with look for a custom rom that doesnt have it.
Dont think there is any such rom though

Me too this feature of ICS (4.0.4) is anoying me, any updates?
I guess it is not only on the Galaxy Note, it impact all devices, right?
Do we know if this is improved on Jelly bean?

I don't understand why this is anoying? For me it is a natural place to have the settings access, because it is allways available. So in 2 touches I can open the settings menu, which I do very frequently, by the way.
On GB, the only way is to press the menu button on any home screen (with no app opened). To have this, I need to press home, press menu and only then touch the settings option.
So, I think that ICS implementation is better, at least for those that go frequently to the settings page.
Maybe for those that don't do it often, this option is irrelevant - but I wouldn't imagine it would be anoying to some one.
But, I understand that our beloved Note is used by a very wide audience, with different expectations and uses for their phones.
So, yes, it would be a good thing to have the ability to configure what would appear or not on the notification screen.
But, as far as I know, JB is like ICS and HC.

It is annoying because it waist space, forcing you to scroll down to see the actual notification (as indicated above).
And for me it is easy to access my frequent Settings, because I use Wigetsoid to change them from my Home and the Notification. And if I need to access a un-frequent one, I use the task manager of ICS to switch to Settings (1 long press on Home then one press on Settings).
Also it is misusing the Notifications for shortcut, since Settings is not a notification

I'm using Rocket ROM v7 now and the settings option takes up a lot less space and I can see a lot more notifications.

[Q] A bunch of questions

Hi guys
I just got my first Android phone and I'm exploring everything, but I have some question about some stuff I encountered.
A) When I change the volume in the menu's, I change the volume of the ringtone.
Is it possible to just change the "general" volume like when you can do in an app?
B) Will the new 4.2.2 update have the option to have some toggles (wifi/bluetooth/location/...) in the notificationcenter.
If no, is it possible in another way?
C) When I lock my phone when the camera app is open and I the device is locked. When I press the powerbutton the camera app shows up from itself. That's without my sliding the "key icon" on the lockscreen.
Is this normal: yes/no?
D) Is it possible to change the raster layout from the homescreens from 4 icons (width) to something more? (Maybe 5 icons on 1 row).
E) What app should I use to watch movies (downloaded/converted)?
I can't find a stock app for that and I don't find what I seek in the Playstore
F) If I make a shortcut from a folder with apps to my home screen and I add some apps in the main menu (same folder), why doesn't my folder on the home screen get updated?
I guess that's it for the moment.
It would be awesome if you would answer some questions (not all!).
Thanks, really!
Matt

to answer
b) I believe so yes, they certainly are there on ARHD 11.0...you could aways try Power Toggles from the Play store...I found it really useful when I ran stock 4.1.2
c) yes, that's normal...HTC call it Tourist Mode or something like that

A) Nope, just change it in Settings or in an app like you say
B) Yes, it does. Using it now
C) Yeah that's so you can snap fast photos
D) Yeah, there is a mod for this (root only)
E) MX Player is pretty good

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.
And would you know how the tweak is called to change the raster size?
