Anybody knows how to turn on Auto Arrange option on the AZF8?... it's so basic already years and i was looking anywhere and couldn't find how to make it auto arrange the apps icons / shortcuts on home screen and other "pages"... i mean that e.g. if i delete some app or it's shortcut, it's automaticall move all the other apps to take it's place... just keeping it in order... very basic and therefore odd it's no where 2B found easily...
Also for moving the app pages from one place to another, like if you want the apps to be right before or after some widget... it's very frustrating.. in Android 10 i think it was by marking some app (With V) on the edit page mode, so the bottom horizontal ribon of pages shown, then simply long tap and drag and drop the entire page to where you want.. but non of this here... it's very frustrating so any help would be very much appreciated here...
Thatks all ahead and have a nice day..

I'm in the midst of getting my tilt to be just where i want it to be, custom speaking.
I need help finding the following.
1)Is there a free weather program that I can run, that does NOT sit in my today screen, that will show me radar and dopler maps of weather for my (city/zip code/etc)? I know I can pull up a site in a browser, but i want this. Also, preferably one that can sit in the background and keep updating. and one that might show a movie clip or animated gif so it moves
2)Is there a free add-on for PIE that adds a "find" function and also tabs. With the tabs, I'd prefer one that doesnt add a huge thing at the bottom to click between, as browser space is already limited.
3)I'm running Rhino battery status on my today. and I love it. But i'm 1-2 pixels short so now I get scroll buttons. Is there a thinner battery status, or better yet, for the HTC Home buttons that already shows the battery meter, is there a way to turn that into a % instead of the ||||| graphic?
4)Does anyone know of a free lnk editor? smart.lnk wont install. at least the versions that I tried. total commanders lnk creation is clunky at best.
thanks!
for the weather you may like this one.....

During two 12 hour days of rooting and customizing two CNooks, I ran across a procedure for removing the stock Nook apps. Now I can't find it. I'm not sure if that included the main soft button, as well, but I'm giving one of these to my 75 year old Mom and I don't want her confused if she hits this button all the time.
Really appreciate any help here!!!

AFAIK there's no way to remove the nook shortcut menu in the status bar. So what is she using it for, never reading on it? If you removed the apps and she did launch the shortcuts I guess it'd just fail to load the app, as they seem to be static shortcuts to those apps.
I would think when we get a custom ROM the status bar will be at the developers digression, and maybe someone will figure out a way to update the framework jar to remove the shortcut. My wife likes the shortcut, as her NC is 50/50 reader/tablet.
I installed the Kindle app on the Home screen, which I prefer. The Nook eReader is still there in the app tray, but because I changed the screen res, it screws up some of the texts in the Store and what not. The reader is still fine, though. But with the larger icons and text, it is WAY better. I tricked it out with the Aquarium Live Wallpaper and added Dolphin browser, which supports pinch zoom. And an email client; WeatherBug Elite, a Battery widget, a clock widget, and a WiFi toggle widgit went on the Home screen, as well - and I'm using Zeam for a launcher. I removed all the icons except the app drawer - and also changed the Volume Down button to be a Back and the Up to be a Menu. No SoftKeys for me. BTW: I set the lcd res to 220 using LCDDensity - far better than the 250 someone mentioned on the forum. I still see the time and the notification balloon - albeit, a bit truncated, but it works. I run SetCPU, though not really sure I need to.
I use Quick Settings for Volume.
I'm missing a few things:
1) Love to find out how to do a screen capture.
2) Desperately want Flash.
3) Desperately want Bluetooth.
And, really want to noop the nook shortcut launcher soft key - or preferably the whole status bar. I don't need it, with all the widgets, but I'd be happy to have it as long as the shortcut launcher softkey was nullified.
I'm planning to get NC for my parents of the same age like your mom as well.
They would use it for email and web browsing while traveling.
I hope you will succeed and share
Cool - and of course I'll share! Fact is, it's not a deal-breaker by any means. I
'll just tell her to avoid hitting that menu button. And if she does, she just clicks on the screen or clicks the button again to get rid of it. I'm really more interested in Flash - which I'm sure will be in 2.2, whenever they release it for the CN - and BT. Which I really want for the new BT headphones I bought for my lost Archos 70.
post deleted. it repeated my last one.
Screen capture - hold down the large physical "n" button, and then very quickly press the volume down button. It will store the .png screenshot file in a directory called "Screenshots" in the system storage.
Now, if someone knows how to do video capture of the screen, please let us know.

Awesome... thanks for posting this. I previously download ShootMe unaware of this functionality.
I did it all from my Nookie...
Hi guys, first post! Loving the forum by the way, very helpful. I'm not sure if this is the right board to post it on but I need help with the Launcher Pro shortcut editor / creator. Basically all I want to do is to create a dock shortcut that toggles wifi, and maybe one for mobile data so that it is available easily on any of my homescreens. Is this possible? I don't really understand the editor but it would seem possible is anyone knew the intent etc for this action?
Looking forward to any suggestions!
Mark
Anyone at all?
no idea how to do it - but there are plenty of other apps that will do that for you
Possible - Try Tasker
Don't think this would be possible as the dock can only hold shortcuts, not widgets.

Why don't you use the default power widget?
But Tasker allows shortcuts - Task
you can use quickdesk. its pretty much a second home on top of the existing main home your using like launcherpro. you just double tap home button and brings up an overlay of anything you want to put on there for shortcuts or widgets. pretty handy and accessible while doing anything like being on the phone. just double tap home and there ya go. i know its not what your wanting by the post. but it does do pretty good.
Thanks for the replys guys, most helpful! Yeah not as keen on a widget, wanted it on the dock so it's there which ever screen I'm in and doesn't take up any extra real estate on screen. I'll give that quick desk a blast though
I just installed this rom, but I am facing some issues:
1. At startup Launcher pro is fails to launch, I need to force close it all the time.
2. When I open & close an app from app drawer, phone doesn't returns to it's app drawer screen, instead it goes tohome screen.
3. I tried the camera.apk , but it doesn't zoom, even after setting volume keys to do that operation.
4. Contacts looks very messed up & mms.apk don't have option to select the contacts, they only appears when i start typing letters.
Please tell me how make the whole appearance more easy & functional. Thanks
I want to make few folders or labels if possible with apps shortcut inside it, is it possible?
daily use>few apps inside this folder
gps> 4 apps inside this folder
photo
games
education
kids
multimedia
etc
Also I would like to rename the apps shortcuts which have long names, is there a way to do that?
Basically I want to remain quite organized on my home screen, as of now I have to browse a long list to reach the app or place the shortcut on 1 of the home screen but then I forget on which home screen the app is?
Sure,
Long press on your home screen, then folder (new folder - long press on it -> edit -> chose a name/icon). Then go in your app drawer long touch on the app, and finaly drag the shortcut in the folder you created.
Wao!, I didn't even know long press existed on blank screen, I did what you suggested & that solves my issue now I can organize my apps in a better way.
Thanks

Yw, just change the topic title as [Solved].
I can recommend Simi folders, its free and it allows you to customize your folders a bit. Also gives nice launcher options. like and iphone popup or transparent background etc.

So I updated to Pie today since Verizon finally got the ota live.
But I have found 2 main things I dont like. The biggest one is the apps that appear under the close all button when viewing your recent apps (see pic). Is there a way to remove those? Also the action if swiping up to close an app not something I'm fond of but could get used to
Next is the clock. Is there a way to move it back to the right hand corner? Makes no sense why they moved it to the left side.
I've searched through the settings and went through everything but didn't see anything to solve either of these things. Is this possible or do I just need to get used to it because its there to stay?
I haven't seen any fixes for the recents panel, but Goodlock can move the clock.

The common theory is that the clock was moved to the left in order to accommodate phones with notches.
Here's more detail.

Open recents and look at top right side, there is 3 dots menu, press it and go to settings, turn off recommended apps - this will remove the apps below the recent apps cards. For the second clock part, good lock 2019 can move the clock. It's from samsung, on the samsung store for some countries. If it's not, then you need to sideload it as your country is not in the whitelist. It's 10 apks isntall + small program to access the modules called nice lock (from playstore) that is developed by fellow xda senior member. There are enough materials on the web for good lock 2019 and how to side load it. There also you can change the recent menu style + return some of the multitasking abilities and whatnot.
