[Q] Nook HD CM11 - How to remove shortcuts from home screen? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently upgraded my Nook HD from CM10.2.1 to CM11 M6 by wiping and doing clean install along with gapps. Everything works fine except I do not know how to remove shortcuts from the home screen.
Previously, I used to long press on the shortcut and drag it onto the X in the top left corner of the home screen (I could also do the same to uninstall apps). I am unable to do this in CM11 M6 as the X is not there.
What is the process for removing shortcuts from the home screen? (Is there some documentation I can refer to that covers changes to the UI? I have looked at the wiki on the CM site but can't find anything that covers this)
Thanks in advance for any help.

To answer my own query,
This appears to be a bug in CM11 M6. When my screen is locked in landscape orientation, the remove and app info elements are not visible/useable. Switch orientation to Portrait and the remove and app info elements appear and are useable.

[Q] AOKP build31 - screen auto rotates for long press

Hi, I recently installed AOKP build 31 (did a full wipe before install). When I tried to add apps to home screen, the screen auto rotates when long pressing the apps. It is quite annoying because I am not able to select any app. It also happened when I tried to add widget to home screen. Anyone had the same problem?
OK, problem solved after a reboot
Screen auto rotates
Just installed build 31 after a full wipe as well last night. The screen may have moved slightly on the 1st icon I attempted to place on the home page, but it didn't appear difficult to resolve. I simply selected the icon again and moved it to the page/screen I originally intended to place it on.
My home screen didn't rotate at all when I attempted to place a second icon/widget on the page. Unless I'm missing the scope of your question, you may have to simply try with additional apps until you master the timing of it all.

Had the same problem here and reboot fixed as well.

Same here, but a reboot fixes it. It's a problem with the launcher, not the rom. Switch to nova launcher to fix it.

[Q] Screenshots and zooming question

hi guys. I just installed cm 10.1 on my nook HD Plus. I like it so far but I have a few unanswered questions I hope some kind soul will help me with. first off how do you take a screenshot?
Is there a way to lock rotation?
next, in stock browser I seem to be having a problem that happens repeatedly where instead of scrolling with one finger I end up zooming in and out. this is very annoying. how can I disable the one finger zooming feature?
if anyone could recommend a good keyboard I can download that has a numbers row on top like Samsung's but it also must keep the microphone key as I use that frequently I would appreciate it.
I'm wondering also if there is a way to move the back, home and recent apps buttons over to one side or the other of the tablet screen

You need to set up screenshots in settings. Go to system and power menu.
And I recommend the Hackers Keyboard. It has a 5 row option with the numbers and microphone showing. I also has cursor keys so you can move the cursor around to correct mistakes.

Hackers Keyboard is very nice. It is taking some time to get use to it but i I think we are going to get along. Thanks for that and the screenshot.
Well after extensive searches and reading i have found the answer to all my qestions except the one finger scrolling. Tablet ui flash is great for the back, home and recents plus status bar. Rotation toggle is hidden deep in settings..

[Q] AOKP 4.2.2 - Unable to hold and move icons and widgets

I've just flashed CWM Recovery to my HP Touchpad and installed the CM9 latest nightly build. Once that installed and the dual booting was working fine, I flashed the AOKP 4.2.2 and the relevant Gapps from goo.im.:angel:
Since booting to AOKP, I'm having issues with my desktop. I can't press and hold an app on my home screen to drag it to a new location. I'm using Nova Launcher, I used the stock launcher to see if it was Nova, but I had the same issue. I also cannot delete home screens. I cannot hold an app in the drawer to add it to the home screen.
When I press and hold to do any of the activities I mention above, the screen rotates the orientation for a few seconds and then reverts, but does nothing else. This orientation occurs even though the Touchpad is stationary.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a resolution or shed some light as to why this may have occurred?:crying:

[Q] CM11 M2 - missing screen options?

Hi there,
I just upgraded my CM from 10.1 to 11, but I'm having some trouble finding the home screen settings. Can anyone please tell me how to:
- Remove an icon from the home screen (long press to drag does not work, as the garbage can does not appear)
- Hide apps from the app screen (the app screen settings are missing from the phone settings)
- Choose the number of home screens available (it's 3 now, I can't find where to change this)
I have googled these questions but no luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[SOLVED] How to bring back vertical recently opened apps display?

Galaxy A71, Android 12, One UI = 4.1. When I first got my Galaxy A71, the recent apps button showed a vertical stacked overlapping list of my recent open apps. This was great. For some reason, this display was replaced by a horizontal slide list that only shows 1 open app at a time. How to go back to the vertical stacked overlapping list of open apps?
Can a custom launcher do this?
See the left side of the top pic to see the open app display I want. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/android-5-0-lollipop-thoroughly-reviewed/6/
Try using Good Lock (or NiceLock) + the Home Up module. It should let you customize the recents style (called Task Changer inside Home Up)
