Such a dumb question - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

How do you put new themes?

3 options.
1: press and hold on the homescreen.
To the right there you can see theme's and select others.
2: under settings - display.
Scroll to the bottom and you will see the option for setting themes.
3: sometimes when you download a theme it will will leave a quick setup between the rest of your apps.
Next time please see the manual that came with your phone.

[Q] Apps icon has disappeared!

Stock Captivate 2.1 Éclair. ADW launcher.
I had an app freeze up the phone. Had to remove battery and restart. Now the Master Bar (or whatever it is called) at the bottom no longer has the Apps icon in it! The other two are still there.
I now have no way to get into the primary apps list--can run only those that have shortcuts on the home screens. I cannot find any way to get the Apps icon back.
Help, help help please. This is a major fail.
Make sure your desktop is unlocked first ...
tap the screen, hold, then select "launcher actions" -> open/close app drawer
you should have a link to open the apps.
then you can drag and drop the link to the dock.
Or enable the awesome option in adw settings that let's you swipe up anywhere on the screen to open the app drawer.

OK. Cancel this question.
Out of the clear blue, it reappeared, but this really scares me. Had it not fixed itself, I would have had a serious deficiency in the phone.
except, previous shows a method (thanks) to recreate the icon, so it would not have been fatal.

Any other nice tricks/settings?

[Q] Missing "Setup" App

Am running the galaxy gear with null rom. I installed the nova launcher and sort of gave up on that, and went back to touchwiz.
Something strange happened recently - my Setup app on the gear itself is missing. It doesnt show in the gear manager on the phone. I tried clearing the gear manager cache on the phone - but it wont show up. It used to show up as one of those black+white big icons on the main screen if you side scroll. I had reordered a few of the main icons - but setup is totally missing.
Actually - I may even be confused. Sometimes if i double-finger tap - I can get a google-style setup screen (starts with a blank screen and a funny icon on the top right). From here I can see "settings" menu - tiny font - rather than the very unfunctional original Samsung setup - which had Display/Sound/etc.
I'm confused what I am seeing really because of the launcher confusion. (I can occasionally see the wifi/BT/battery status at the top).
Its really annoying because I cant easily see the battery status (despite having set this on the setup menu to display - when I could access the setup menu); and the note in the previous paragraph - that I can see the battery status is erratic - sometimes I can see the tiny status line but never when I want to see it - to check battery status).
I have rebooted the device.

Just tried to double tap my home screen - its so erratic - no joy. I succeeded 5 mins ago.
You need to re flash null rom and select the gear set up wizard to be installed. It is one of the options you can select when flashing the rom. There may be an easier fix but worst case scenario that should solve your problem. Also if you don't want Nova you can deselect it during flashing. That screen you are seeing is like on your phone when you slide down from the top of the screen (notifications, settings, etc)

Thank you - let me try that. I remember fiddling with the options on install - so this could be the magic clue.
Cant think why one would not want setup to be installed!
I had the same issue. Ended up flashing the latest null rom which included the set up wizard. Hope this works for you too.

Add S Finder button in notification panel

WARNING: You will lose the AT&T signal icons. The phone will display what I assume are international version signal icons.
1. Browse to /system/ and open build.prop
2. Find the line "ro.product.name"
3. Change the line to say "ro.product.name=SM-G900"
4. Save and reboot
You will now have an S Finder button in the top left corner of the notification panel.
What did you change to get the hot spot button

Nova Launcher

Hello
I just bought Nova Launcher and set it to loon like Pixel Launcher, the only thing I cannot set is to show the weather info next to the search button.
Anyone knows how to set it? I already give nova location permission.
In Nova’s Settings menu is “Desktop.” Jump in there, and change the following:
Search Bar Style: Select the “G” logo with the white oval, then tap “Bar color” and set it to white. Scroll down and select the colored “G.” Finally, tick the “weather” box at the very bottom, then back out of this menu.
Note: For some users, “Weather” doesn’t show up here. Instead, it’s hidden away in Nova’s “Labs” menu—to enable this, long-press the volume down key while in the Nova Settings menu. The Labs option will appear and you can enable Weather.

Battery shortcut

From Reddit:
1. Go into Device Care, under menu select "show icon on apps screen".
2. Device Care is now in your App drawer, long press it and you see 4 options. Press and hold on any and you can drag them as direct shortcuts for your Home OR apps screen.
3. One is "Battery", drag this and you now have a shortcut directly to your battery status!
4. You can then undo step one, Device Care is gone from.your app drawer but your shortcuts remain. View attachment 4753307View attachment 4753308

Wow, finally something really useful. Already had Device Care out but didn't know about the battery shortcut. THNX!
