Has anybody found a way to move the Blinkfeed homescreen?
What i mean is, as it comes out of the box, the Blinkfeed page is the first screen of the homescreens, and if you add more screens they all come after the Blinkfeed screen.
What i want is to have the Blinkfeed screen as the middle screen with 1 or 2 screens either side but i can't seem to find any way to move it around.
i think you cant remove but it doesnt have to be main screen AFAİK
Yeah you cant move it. You can only set another screen as default.

Hi:
I am brand new to Captivate (from a Tilt 2), so am exploring Android. So far I am in love with it.
I have searched, and can't seem to find how to set the Home screen. What I mean is, I found how to edit screens (add, remove). But, for some reason the Home button always takes me to the screen farthest to the right. I would like for it to take me to the center screen. How do I do this?
Thanks!
I think on TouchWiz, if you only have 3 homescreens created, the default will be the one on the far right. If you create more homescreens (say 7), it will be the one in the middle. Try adding more homescreens to the right of the one that is defaulted for you right now. Then once you get the one in middle as your default, you can delete the ones to the far left and right if you don't want all 7 screens. Hope this makes sense.
The default is the one with the little home icon at the bottom. You can put it anywhere

Hi:
WD33- Thanks so much. I tried that. I have added and subtracted a million screens, but there seems to be no rhyme or or reason (sometimes it's the farthest one to the left, sometimes it's the second to last etc), and I can't seem to get the middle one as home.
Dani:
Thanks for your reply. I don't see the little home icon. You do mean in the edit screen to edit tabs, right?
Thanks again to both of you!
EDIT: Well, after much trial and error, I had to go back to the original 7 screen layout in order to get the center screen to be home.
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 everyone! How can I make three screens with no scrolling, that is I can't swipe between screens but can select the screen by pinching in and selecting the screen. I need this because I am trying to make a screen where it has shortcuts to go to the next screen. So I want to restrict swiping between screens and only use those shortcuts. Any help is greatly appreciated.:laugh:
Use SSlaucher

Try SSlauncher.
I had exactly what you described on my Galaxy S in it worked perfectly. My screens were set up similar to an old telephone address book. On the right hand side of every one of the 9 screens I had were the numbers 1-9. I was the "home" screen. Under the numbers, that went from the bottom to the top of the screen were short description on what was of that screen. Things like "Home", "Office", "Daily", "Games", "Photo"
It was a joy to use and looked very cool with a smooth transition from screen to screen called "Flow".
One of the nicest things -apart from not having to swipe all the time- was that from the "Home" screen to screen 9 did not mean that 8 other screens had to fly past. The next screed regardless of the number always appeared to be the next screen!
SSlauncher also allows you to switch of "swiping" and even have a different background on each screen.
One warning. Do not be put off buy the developers terrible examples on the Play Store or the learning curve. Go to www.mycolorscreen.? for inspiration.
Don't hesitate to pm for help if you need it.

Thanks. I am using apex launcher now. Will try ss launcher. Thanks for the reply.
Every time I add an additional home screen it goes to the far right,
I can't seem to move it to another position say far left.
I have tried going into the widget bit long holding the screen I want to move and dragging it, but it doesn't work, only way to do it would be to move all the widgets across one by one.
Any help would be great,
Aaron

the only way is make a new screen the home screen so if you want one screen on the left and 2 on the right make the 2nd screen the home screen or the last screen the home screen
i hope that makes sense
CLT-L29. Phone updated to android 10 a few weeks ago. I was playing around changing the layouts on my screens when I decided I wanted a different screen as my default home screen. Went through the usual steps. Did the screen pinch or push and hold on a blank spot on the screen to get to the screen menu. At the top of the current home screen is a little home icon. I want to set a different screen as the default home screen but everything I've tried will not move the little home icon to the top of another screen. I can't find any option in any menu that allows me to select a different screen as the default home screen.
Was it ever possible in EMUI?..
You can drag the screen you want to be "home" all the way to the left.
Nope. I currently have 3 screens. With home screen loop turned off, the screen I want as the default home screen is already on the left. The middle screen is the home screen and moving them around doesn't change that the current default home screen still has the little home icon at the top of it when in screen editor mode. None of the other screens have the little icon and I can't move it to a different screen.
There has to be an easy way to select a specific screen as the default home screen without moving the order of the screens around. Worst case is that I'm going to have to move everything off the current home screen and move all the icons, widgets and folders that I want, back onto it.
I'm sure the option was available for version 9 but I can't remember now. Everything I wanted was on the default home screen.
Yes I'm having exactly the same problem. After the latest update it changed my home screen and there's no option to swap it, can only swap all apps and widgets onto the screen with home icon. Bit annoying that.
