Remove extra home screens? - Moto X Q&A

I feel silly asking this, but I can't figure out how to remove the extra home screens. Can anyone give me a hand?

with two fingers pinching or zooming in on any screen, you will see all homescreens, swipe away the ones you do not want.

Either my fingers are handicapped, or that isn't doing it - I'm just sliding to the next screen. I think I read that's the standard Jelly Bean way, but are you sure that works on the stock Moto X?

Right...I am using Buzz launcher on my Moto X.

I don't think you can with the stock launcher.

MultiTouch image gallery

Are there any so far? If it was possible to program the browser to support multi touch, shouldn't be too hard for the image gallery right?

I was just having you on. Hence the smiley.
ok, time for me to goto sleep, i missed the smiley as well lol, later guys
Haha, hmm... well I think it is safe to expect that there eventually will be one.
I hope there will be one as well
Even without multi-touch but rather a gesture based one would work. Something like the HTC Album for Windows. Drawing in a wide circle rotates the picture, drawing in a small circle will zoom. Doing reverse (counter-clockwise) does the opposite. Sliding left or right will "slide" the picture into the next.

Only problem with HTC or Gogle developing the MultiTouch capabilities would be our good friends over at Apple that would threaten to toss a lawsuit at them.

If anyone hears about one being made, I would like to know about it, cause that is probably the one thing that i'd like most right now. (I already found a good music player... RockOn...and I think I'd be just plain happy with my G1 (other than dropped calls) if I had that..
Check out Slidephoto. It's pretty cool. Slides to change photos and double-tap to zoom. Doesn't rotate yet.
astro has this!

Stupid question about Espresso....

OK, I know right off the bat that this is a dumb question, but I just can't figure out what the big deal about Espresso is. I've searched many, many times, but that just brings up people asking how to install it.
What I'm curious about is what's the big deal? What does Espresso bring to the table? Functionally, not cosmetically, why would I want Espresso on my phone?
Because if it's just a cosmetic change, people surely wouldn't be cluttering up threads so much asking about it, right?
It brings nothing but a newer looking Rosie Bar. I for one cant stand it and would prefer the stock Rosie to Espresso. Ive also grown to like the Droid Launcher...

OK, thanks.
That's pretty much what I thought, but so many people seem so very, very eager to get it within 10 seconds of a new rom release, I thought maybe it might add some actual functionality.
But if it's just the cosmetic change, then I agree, it's butt-ugly. Stock Rosie looks much better. Haven't tried out the Droid launcher yet, I'll give it a look. Gotta say though, I'm not sure about ditching Sense. It's not so much Sense itself I'm attached to, but some of the widgets that depend on it....
I for one think any variation of rosie is ugly, I prefer nexus launcher. I also liked launcher2, with the app dock. That sinistermashes dudes idea for a dock as a launcher was a kewl idea. Conservative and intuitive.

Neither the Droid Launcher or Espresso themes ditch Sense. They just change the look of the launcher bars at the bottom of the screen. All the Sense features and widgets still work fine with either of them.
I like the stock rosie or the nexus launcher, at least those tell you which screen you're on. The expresso doesn't and it's big... too much space taken up.
I don't get what the big deal is.

Mind directing me to a screenshot of the Droid launcher? I'm intrigued.
Can anyone tell me how to restore the stock rosie? I want that expresso gone.

I'll check it out. As I said, I'm not attached to sense, I just can't bring myself to get rid of a few of the widgets that rely on it.
That said, from a cosmetic point of view, I think Espresso is going about 10 years backwards from a UI design point of view. I also think the stock, Google developed Android launcher belongs somewhere in the Windows 3.1 league.....
Then again, I also don't understand why people give a crap about the lockscreen. I always just do a quick double click on the menu button and never see it in the first place.
Maybe I'm just not the target audience for these particular tweaks....

Id give up sense in a heartbeat if i could find a bookmark widget and email widget as nice as senses. And the full weather animations too.
I hear beatiful widgets has animations? Same level as 2.1?

Infinity scroll? is it possible

Hi does any of you now if it is possible to make this devise use the infinity scroll?
IE. going from screen 1 -> 7 by swyping right once
I know that on my old HTC diamond it was just an app? does something like this exist for the SGS?
thanks in advance
-TB-
You could press the 7th dot to go directly to the 7th home screen.
yes that is true but it would be easier if we could keep swyping.. and then you would have one screen to your left and one to your right, instead of two to your right ..
Maybe its a stupid idea

5 Finger Lock Screen

I am surprised no one has made a lock screen where you need to use all 5 fingers to unlock. Kind of like in the commercials.

me too!!! i would pay for that!!
but i also want to contral my tab with 5 fingers! like they were doing showing the texts... you know? maybe for tab switch in the browser...
+1 here for this great idea!
thats the best lock screen idea in the history of lock screen ideas, would be ool if it had buttons like in the videoeo that quick linked you to several app, music Calender gmail contacts browser, all the most used, also if it was as big as one in video you could have buttons on outside ring, and a working manipulatible preview of the app button selected on inside ring, and you could scroll through each preview by rotating the lock.
I'd like that! Its like a holographic mouse!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Some nice ideas here. As much as I love the vanilla experience, in terms of lockscreens Google always disappoints me. Especially with Honeycomb: The first thing I though was: Why not having, let's say, up to 5 app shortcuts around the ring (just like the "lock"). If you move your finger to the lock, you unlock. Move it to the "Music" symbol, you open your music app, move it to the "Pulse" app...you get the idea. There are so many opportunities, especially with this kind of big screen (and the support of 10 Fingers at once) that it hurts me to only see this (even though fancy) ring to unlock without further modifications.

What size wallpaper to use for 1 screen?

In portrait mode? What resolution/size should I be looking for?
1440x2560
Thanks man
This is slightly incorrect

As the background image moves when you swipe from one page to another, I'd not suggest this size...
Zedge has wallpapers that are large in size and work good with moving as you swipe, if you don't want it to move as you swipe nova launcher has an option for that not to happen.

Depends on the launcher. I never used GEL, only Nova.
I use a really big one too..5000x 2800 or something

I stick with GEL. Mine basically stock odexed, themed and just some basic hard coded mods. We are testing deodexed version today. Deodexed will allow smali mods. I prefer building from stock image over ASOP. Already optimized for device. Lol

AOSP is optimised for the device. It's a nexus
Unlike other devices, nothing the developers need to do to get it working. Everything is supplied in the repo.
Well, until Google drops support that is.
