Uhm...i dont have the arrows at the bottom of my map to easily cycle through the multiple search results. Was it taken out? Do i need to enable it (can see options/layers/labs)?
I am missing this as well. As a slightly less useful alternative, you can swipe left or right on the "detail" screen after clicking into one of search results to rotate through the results.
I was just looking for this too. Did they take it out? It's not there anymore when you do a search. How else are you supposed to scroll thru results? Seems like a very stupid thing to remove.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. Sucks that they took our the arrows...would rather have had them remove the zoom buttons!
XDA user bstromberg in my General Sticky thread raised a good question and found an excellent resource. My intent is to try and modify the default.prop file to enable only 3 screens in TW, where the middle screen is the default home screen... and perhaps instruction for 5 screens where 3 is the default home screen.
socket84 had an extrmely helpful post in the Galaxy S I9000 section, which I believe we can use as a resource.... but I am not as intelligent as some of you and will need hand holding. I think this would be extremely helpful to the community, at least till CM6 comes.
Here is the post I just referenced.
Any takers to make this work, and willing to test it out?
I like this idea!!! The home screen needs to me the middle one!
looks like you would modify this property:
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=2
In his example it is 2, so that would be 3 screens total (starting at 0, 0 is the first screen, 1 is the second screen, and 2 is the third screen).
I'm using ADW so I can't really test, but this should be easy to test and you should backup the original file before you make the change.
To make your middle screen the home screen, then the other property:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen
would be 1:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=1
EDIT: Reading through the whole thread, it may not be that easy.
Sorry, I should emphasize that I posted this here because there are a lot more qualified people... I feel confident I can make a backup and move the new file to this ones place, reboot and test it... but I really don't know how to edit the document or where to add that code... in XDA I trust, I just got a good source to start shown to me and hoped someone would run with it (I also use LP, but may switch back if this gets worked out).

wait yours isn't? both vibrants I got came with Screen 4 as the middle one out of 7... if I press home on another screen it goes back to 4 not 1
^ but if you only use 3 to 5 screens, like i do, i would like to just get rid of the other screens and have 2 or 3 be my default in the center, but it will only ever allow screen 4 to be default, no matter the amount of screens you have (i haven't tried to remove more than 2 screens by the way)
so i too would be very grateful to whoever figured this one out.
it should be noted that your "home" screen defaults to whatever screen you had open last before the device went into sleep mode. so.. in essence there is no true home screen. it just stays on which ever one you last used.
also, there is no need to modify code to remove the extra screens youre not using. just touch the menu key then choose "edit" from the options.. from there you can add or delete screens. you can go all the way down to 1.. and add new screens on either side. for example i have my first screen as #1.. and have two more to the right.. 2 and 3 respectively. when i boot my phone, it always starts on screen #1.
this is an especially useful feature if you would rather just have a single "home" screen with the apps you use most and then use the app tray for all of the rest.
also, IME the middle screen is always the defaut "home" screen when you add an even number of screens on either side from the edit menu.
^ you don't understand.
^ enlighten me

he's talking about no matter what you do the phone will always try to make screen 4 your home screen so say you have 3 pages (i guess you can call it that) it will try to be on 4 but theres no 4 so it will go to 3 even though you actually want it to be page 2 so it wil be in the middle for the home page
1-2-3 always goes to the last screen if theres not a 4th one in your home screen

thats what i was figuring he was saying.. however i was saying that my phone doesnt do that. i deleted all of my home screens, then added more going 1, 2, 3, in that order.. and my phone starts on 1 every time.
if you are in the edit screen and you add pages like this " 2, 1, 3" it will start on the middle page.

So do you restart your phone after you save? Because mine doesn't do that either.

+1, doesnt work for me. No matter what order I add screen it always goes back to 4 or 3,2,1 if less than 4 screens.

This doesn't work. If I delete all (accept 1 that it wont let you delete), swipe to the right and add a screen that becomes 1, you Cannot add in that order. It will always default 1,2,3,etc.
EDIT: I think what your saying doesn't work because you cannot delete all 7 screens and then decide which one to add in which order. You HAVE to keep one, and no matter what side you add it to it will always keep them numbered in order. So it is impossible to add 1 after 2.
So I added to 2 lines and then just the first line and tried both ways to our default.prop but it did not fix the problem. Right back to 4 for home. It was mentioned in the original post that someone else had they same problem and it was determined that they were using an older version of the ROM and those lines weren't already in there. That is the case with ours so this method doesnt seem to work for us. At least for now.
I feel like some people are not understanding.
Default IS (or tries to be) number 4, always.
If you come back from sleep (or even hit home key from any app) it will go to last screen it was on before sleeping, but if you press home again, by default, or mistake, or just making sure you are on home screen because you are driving or doing other things, it always jumps to the real home screen (4) or closest to, if less than 4 screens.
I agree this needs a fix. Minor issue, but annoying none the less. I have 7 screens and only using 3 because I want middle screen to be default, that is how all other phones are, why did Samsung change it?
ok let me clarify..
when i was deleting all of my unused home screens, and went down to just one, i deleted all BUT the middle screen.. which was labled as screen 4 originally. when i added the two other screens back, the screen then became screen 1 and was labeled as such automatically.. follow?
after looking back on my posts i can see where the confusion was. maybe by my deleting the screens in this manner i haphazardly stumbled upon the "right" way to do it..
When you go from 7 to 1, what was 4 is now 1.
Add two screens and now it can be 2. In the middle.
However it is still going to screen 3, since there is not a4 when you press home. Nobody can get it to do what you claim. Can you post a video or be extremely specific?
I still have my doubts and think we're going to have to edit the file.

I never use my home key to get back to the first page. I always swipe. after hitting my home key mine goes to 3 too.. but when the phone starts up it always starts on page one.. how odd...
ok sorry for the confusion everybody.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I decompiled the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk with apktool and there is a launcher.xml file in /res/layout-land and /res/layout-port if you look in this layout.xml file there is a piece of code: android:layout_height="fill_parent" launcher:defaultScreen="1" />
So I am wondering if it has something to do with this also.
For those who want to bypass the activation screen, surprisingly it's the same method used on the droid 2.
The method on bypassing the activation screen is
1. On the Welcome screen with the touch the android to begin icon, do the following:
2. Tap the top left corner of the screen then
3. Tap the top right corner of the screen then
4. Tap the bottom right corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it) then
5. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it).
6. That’s it, should pop up the home screen shortly, if not retry. Remember not to drag your finger, simple tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
Credits do not go to me, but to the person who found out about this first. - Copied the steps from TheUnlockr
This applies to many phones
Oooorrrrrr, you can tap the corners in a clockwise fashion starting at the top left.
Saves a lot of reading, no offense to the OP.

haha, it's my first droid phone. I've been using iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4, Samsung Vibrant, Captivate and Samsung Infuse so it's the first time I saw it and thought it'd be nice to share considering I didn't know that it'd be on many devices, kinda thought it was like a glitch
So, any ideas if the process com.motorola.setup keeps force closing? tapping the corners dismisses the activation screen, but continues on to the account setup and promptly crashes. I finally gave up and took it into the Verizon Store and they said it would need replaced, but I have to call an 800#, so I am looking at a day or 2 with no phone and I am currently trying to charge/activate an old phone since I can't even bypass the activation on my D3... I honestly am not very pleased with this device. I wanted so much to like it, but its like they just threw it together and then promptly forgot it existed...
On Hashcodes ics buid you just hit the home key
Maybe its just me but I could not get this to work on monster rom. I tapped around in a circle several times

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I have a heck of a time swiping from the top corner to reduce an app into pen window. Try it in chrome and see what you get.
I either end up pulling the notification shade or swiping tabs. After 10 tries I might get the window. what am missing?
If your talking about pop up window I was having the same problem, here's what you do.. Swipe the corner of either the right or left side down but go ABOVE the screen a little start from the bezel where there's no screen and you should get it every time.. Hope this helps
Yeah that's it. Sorry, they used to call it pen window on note 3.
I'm still struggling with it.
Lol im opposite of you. They get swype too easily!....though I wonder if screen sensitivity increase have anything to do with it
It also doesn't work on everything.. No homescreen, you have to be on the browser or other applications for it to work..
Pen window was a different thing all. Together where you would draw a little box with the pen and a few applications would come up, this you don't need to use the pen for it to work, so if you're using the pen it might make it harder try what I said using your finger and see if it helps..
I'm not using the pen at all. I just tried it a bunch of times and I get better results (not 100% but much better) if I swipe quicker and from the corner of the PHONE, not the corner of the screen. Just about what Melissa recommended. But for me speed seems to factor in too.
Good I'm glad it's working better for ya! ?
Try near very corner, where it says PM/AM ...starting from the status bar...pull down past the bar, then i towards the center. You'll notice that if you go straight down the shade won't move.
That's usually where I reach to pull the shade down and kept wondering why it wouldn't come down the first time I try it.
are there any videos or picture tutorials of this? I'm really having problems. Granted this is my first Note device, but I haven't ever gotten it to work even one time.

It really is as easy as it sounds. Put your index finger over the front facing camera in the upper right corner of the phone then slide your finger diagonally across the screen towards the bottom left. Works for me every time as long as the app support it. Not all apps work so make sure you are using a supported multi-window app.

Yeah, there are 'dead' zones on both ends of the status bar. After you pull down from the dead zone, just swipe towards the center. You can actually pull down about 1/2 inch and it will still work.
I'm very embarrassed to report back, but I had never turned on "Multi-Window." Perhaps my noobiness will help someone else!
Thanks to all those who offered help!

Your on pie?
Update the Good lock 2018 and one hand operation +!
Open Good Lock 2018 app (by Samsung)
Click on One hand operation + and turn it off if you don't want it or go through the settings and change transparency of the handles if you want to use them.
edit:
You still have the old version of one hand operation + on the new version that is gone and replaced with more actions for short swipe and long swipe. Well at least on mine.
