Pages query. - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you reach the 3rd page from the home screen, is it possible to make scrolling pages unlimited? I.e if you were to scroll to the 3rd page on the left side and scroll left one more time it'll go to the 3rd page on the right side.
Sorry if this is confusing hopefully someone understands x).

Scroll wheel adjustment

Is there a way for the scroll wheel to "scroll" within rows. For instance, I have SPB Mobile Shell and Phone Alarm installed. Both apps have multiple icons in a row. I can scroll to a row, but I can't scroll along a row.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
i'll take the silence as a no

You might be right but it's generally considered reasonable to give it at least one if not a couple of days before bumping a thread.
So ironically, here's a free one on me!

i noticed that when i click programs or settings and use the scroll wheel it scrolls through every item in those areas. it just won't do it on the today screen.
i'll be a guinea pig. does anyone know the registry keys that govern the scroll wheel?
I am also interested in figuring this Horizontal Today Screen Wheel Scrolling...
It's a Scroll WHEEL, not a Track Ball!

Isn't this why we have a D-Pad?
How can you expect a 1-dimensional control to work in 2 dimensions?
In Schap's ROM, the scroll wheel does scroll across the HTC Home.
2-dimensions
Geez chill cushcalc. I don't think he wants the wheel to be able to scroll up/down and left/right at will. Instead I think he wants it to scroll through each item in each today plug-in, instead of just scrolling from one today plug-in to the next. I.E.- scrolling down goes from the 1st item in htc home for example, to the second, to the third, etc... and then from the last htc home item to the first item in the next today plug-in. I know, I know, there are tons of retards posting tons of uber-retarded questions on this forum, but diar is posing a valid question.

Here's a free bump. Would love to have this feature as well, cuz I'd really to have one-handed use on the PDA. Using the D-pad requires thumb gymnastics which may result in dropping the phone
Even better, if there'd be a way to switch the scroll mode from line-by-line to page-by-page in certain cases, i.e. while browsing a document, or a web page.

Opera Mobile Quick Question !!!

when in mobile view, incase u r in the middle of the page, can u scroll to the top of the page directly like iphone?
There are no scrollbars and it really becomes difficult to navigate to the top of bottom of the page directly epecially while reading forums like xda-dev etc.

U should use your finger to move the page. You can use also the enter button. Go around with your finger and it will zoom in/out.

About the Homescreen?

Ok so on our homescreen we have pages 3,5,7 whatever but what I wanted to know if it was possible for a dev to make it fluent so it would not rest on 1 specific page but we could scroll through 1 long homescreen left to right idk just thought it would be a good implementation. leave a comment on what you think, if I you dont understand let me know i'll try to explain it better

I am not sure if thats a good idea, Most widgets lock into the sides of the screen, meaning if you have it "fluent" then have the widget will not show on one screen and it will be harder to make it lock to view it correctly.
Is it possible?
True but we would have to make them snap to a certain part of the "grid" of the homescreen it would be so sick to be able to slide the screen back and fourth as a wide single page instead of multipages it seems easy in theory but then again Im no software coder.

jump to the top of the page in the browser

I was looking for a way in the stock browser to jump to the top of the page when scrolled to the bottom of a long webpage. When reading a long article or something with lots of comments this would be a nice feature. if there isnt a way currently, which i dont thinkg there is, someone could come up with a tweak to the stock browser to jump to the top of the page it would be sweet.
nope it doesnt exist. but if you really give a few fast swipes in a row, you be surprised this kinetic scrolling will go extremely fast to the top.

[Q] Moving Home Screen

I was wondering how to move my home screen from the one on the far left to the center screen? I have looking for a way for a couple hours and can't find it.
No way to do it on the stock launcher.
Haven't found one either

I haven't found a way either. I bought my phone Thursday, the moment it was released. Prior to that, while researching some pre release reviews (I read so many, Phone Arena, Droid Life, CNET, etc etc) I ran across a review lamenting the fact that the home screen was moved to the left instead of the center, but I can't remember which site it was. I had the Home screen in the center on my 2013 Droid Maxx and then I had screens to the left and right with various themes (this is my media, music and movies screen, this is my games screen, this is my productivity, etc). The location of the Home screen on the Turbo is where I had my music, movies, and media on my Maxx. It was weird getting used to the Home screen being all the way to the left, but after a few days I'm fine with it.
Just move the stuff on your home screen to a different page...
Home is Home

If he moves the stuff on the Home screen to a different page when he hits the Home button it will take him to a page he doesn't want.

Long press on a blank part of any screen, widgets and wallpaper option appear at the bottom. At this point you can long press any of the pages and move them around.
Thanks, that's useful. But it doesn't solve the problem that pressing the "home" button takes you to the leftmost screen. It was much handier having it take me to the center screen, from which I could swipe left or right for my three main screens.

Can't be done on the Turbo, without a 3rd party launcher.

Nova works the same as stock with more customization. I'd recommend trying it

Exactly. Nova is also very fast.
Plus you can add number of screens, decide how many rows/columns of icons you want per page.
You can upload backups of your screen layout to Dropbox or email, so any future phone can have the layout you want.
Lots of stuff.
I even have a different icon theme than Kitkat, downloaded from Google store.
