[Q] CM10.1 RC2 Question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Sorry if I'm not supposed to make a new thread, but I didn't know where I should ask a question.
I just clean installed CM10.1 RC2 on my captivate because my phone was getting really buggy. Everything works great and smoothly again, but I can't seem to find how to change the number of rows on my homescreen anymore. I thought it used to be under Settings --> Launcher --> Homescreen, but I don't see any options for changing number of grids anywhere. Did they remove this from RC2, or did they move the location of these settings? Or is it possible the settings didn't make it on my phone when I flashed for some reason?
I was previously on RC1, so I'm not sure what they updated in RC2. Please help me if you can. Thank you very much.

You need a 3rd party launcher, like Nova.

[QUESTION] Can I have a script setup a rom after installation

So, Im throwing together a rom from different sources (Nik's, Runnydroid, ARHD & CM7) to make a rom that is what i call AOSP (android open sense )
it will look like AOSP, but it will have sense core. why? because i want as AOSP as possible with a working camera. now that aside, I want to have a script running after the install finishes that makes certain settings on app's, system settings and also puts certain widgets and icons on home screens to have it as best setup as possible.
can this be done? and if yes, how?
any link to tutorial or so ...

I was thinking of the same thing and I guess it's doable after all its linux and when we have setup script for ubuntu we can certainly make it for android. However I am not a developer so will not be able to help much. I just hope some of linux or android geek might give attention to it and make it happen. Basically we need a command like apt-get in ubuntu for downloading it straight from market and some command to install from sd card. I will try myself but as said I have just little knowledge in linux (I am a mainframe developer) so i will not be of much help.
Just wait and Watch and hope for the best.

Exactly, and there isn't one like this, thats why i am making it
It's almost finished though, but i really need to be able to change some of the default settings otherwise stuff won't work (for example, in settings/connect to PC, ask me should be off, otherwise usb mount does not work ...)
I also need to take some stuff out (for example, after setting 'ask me' to off by default i wanna remove the 'connect to pc' completely from the settings menu)
so far i'm keeping only sense dialer/sms,sense ereader (because its a good one), sense music player (if removed it's impossible to set a mp3 as ringtone), sense calendar, sense camera, sense browser & sense radio. All other sense stuff and widgets are removed
it will have AOSP keyboard, mail, lockscreen, gallery & deskclock and some powerapps (like titanium backup, ES file explorer etc..) and also a lot of google bloat removed
The rom will be pretty light compatred to Stock Sense and you will be able to use any launcher etc.. you want. I will include a third party sense clock/weather widget, because there is nothing better
I'm still in doubt about wether to keep or toss the sense lockscreen ...
the sense lockscreen looks better than the default one but will be useless, go with the default android one.
btw what base are you using for this ? sense 3.5 ? and why not keep the gallery app ?

base is indeed 3.5 (Nik rom), good idea about the gallery, i'm gonna keep that (handy for going from in-cam to gallery)

Questions about two ROMs

Hi!
I have questions about more ROMs. I tested the last time nearly every ICS-ROM. I hope that someone can help me....GALAXY S I9000
-CM9: Why there aren`t some options that in other ROMs are still exist for example AOKP? For example the option to change the lockscreen is not there yet
-AOKP: Every time i go to the option to edit the Lockscreen i get a FC of Rom-Control......why?
-From were i can find the Rom-Control.apk? Can i install it on every AOKP-Rom?
Thank you for your help!
I can't answer CM9 queries I haven't been on it yet, that is more of a feature request that you need to take up with them..
AOKP: What do you mean edit the lockscreen? Do you mean the wallpaper? That is now fixed, download the latest from my sig below.
Rom control should already be on every AOKP rom, so you shouldn't have to install it.
However if you still want it, it's located at /system/app
Hi Talon,
thank you for your answer.
I mean generell the option "Locksreen"....When i want to enter this option on the AOKP-build31 i get an FC from Rom-Control....
I really don`t understand the thing with CM9. I love Cyanogenmod but i want more customizable options that are included in AOKP
I just re-read the lockscreen thing for CM9. Are you sure it isn't there settings/security/screen lock
I think you need to re-flash AOKP possibly with wipe. But use titanium backup (seems to be more through sometimes) or via manage apps, find rom control and clear data. Hopefully that works otherwise you will possibly have to reflash.
Im using the lockscreen options on my phone right now, so it must just be your phone.

[Q] Unable to arrange icons in menu screen - Paranoidandroid 2.12 - JB 4.1.1

Hi guys
I'm using the amazing rom which called Paranoidandroid 2.12 and when I'm trying to edit and arrange the icons on the menu (not on homescreen) and even creating a new folder it's impossible .. tried using nova & apex launchers and it doesn't work either .. is there any way to do that ?
Thanks,
Moshe
What you are referring to is the App Drawer, not the "menu" (big difference!).
Creating folders and rearranging the program icons within the App Drawer is something that is specific to Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and as such is something that you can't do in Apex or Nova.
What you can do, however, is set up the top headers to be pseudo-folders. Currently it should say something like "apps" and "downloaded" and "widgets" or similar. With the paid-for Apex Pro (I know Nova does the same, but I am unfamiliar with the launcher and the corresponding process) you can customise those headings. On mine, for example, I have the headers set to "Programs" (I HATE the phrase "Apps"), "Tools" and "Games" with the widgets list disabled.
So, if you are after folders, and can make do with only three folders (the widgets section is redundant as long as you can add a widget to your homescreen with long-press) then you can do that with Apex Pro.
Unfortunately, there USED to be a thread in the apps section for the JB GSIII Touchwiz launcher for CyanogenMod 10, but for some reason I can't find it anymore to link it to you...
so, arranging the icons on the menu like on ics (not on the homescreen) not available on jb ?

you still mean the App drawer, not the menu! The menu is the text list that appears when you press the left capacitive button on the phone or the three dots in apps. The App Drawer is the full list of all programs you have installed on your phone with icons. The two are very different, please refer to the correct thing as it's very confusing otherwise!
anyway, as luck would have it, I've found the thread for Touchwiz on CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854826
If you install this then you will be able to do everything that you remember and require from stock Galaxy Note ROMs including folders in the app drawer.
As another clarification for you, ICS and JB are not the problem for you. When you say ICS you mean the stock Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Touchwiz based ROM, and when you say JB you mean Paranoid Android 2.12 CyanogenMod 10 based ROM. Those last bits are crucial. Apex runs on ICS just find and you still can't do the folder thing that you want to do with Apex on ICS. Only Touchwiz - regardless of Android version - can do the folders and rearranging of icons in the app drawer.

I didnt try that launcher but i think thats not a bug
In touchwiz,when you change the wallpaper,you need to select whether to scroll or not to scroll

can't find the option to enable that ..
When you select a wallpaper,you will see two modes below the wallpaper(normally we get it in the tw).If you can see that,select the first one and you get scrollable wallpaper

[Q] How to change all icons with one touch?

Good morning friends,
presently i am using icon changer app to change icons for home screen, wherein in have to change every icon manually
i.e. open icon changer - select app - browse icons - etc..
whereas can it be automatic like... if we select an icon pack, it should change all icons automatically (all of them at once)..
I have even tried using different launchers but they spoil stock look.
Can anyone help me change all icons without having to change every icon & retaining the stock look?
Thanks for bearing with my stupid question, if it isn't possible.

Widget Locker is the best IMO for any lock screen mod you want to configure, DPI is in the build prop in the root of the device, Google is your friend on this subject. If you don't understand where the build prop is you should stay away from it. LOL have fun!
