Hey all!
I know it might sounds stupid, I'm kinda new to this Andorid stuff
I have the MDJ Revolution HD v.1.2 on my HD2 and can't figure out how to remove\delete shourcuts from the all apps screen, Not the home screen, the all apps screen
I tried everything, can't drag them anywhere cause it says my home screen is full and when it's not, i tried to drag them down and delete them but... Nothing
I'ts there a way to totally remove\delete them from the apps screen- it's a mess!
Thanks guys,I hope you'll make my week by helping a new stupid guy solve this out
=)
From homescreen, click menu button to bring up menu c screen, click menu and find application in menu setting screen. On application manager screen, choice and click on application you do not want and uninstall it. Rhis method will uninstall your application,therefore to have it back, you have to reinstall it.

Thank you for your answer !
But i guess you got me all wrong, i don't want to Uninstall apps.. just to remove the shorucuts of them on the all apps screen( once again, I'm NOT talking about the Home Screen - just about the All Apps screen. I moved my shourcuts to folders like;games, media, etc...
now all I want to do is to remove the annoying shourcuts (Igot too many) from the all apps screen.
Got it now? I wanna keep my apps, got them all in folders,,, now please help me remove the shourcuts on this all apps screen
thanks again!
That's down to the launcher. What launcher do you use? (Please say launcher pro!)
Oh yeah, and I'm not being all "know-it-all" like, cos I don't, but it's the App Drawer. Other people will at least know what you mean if you call it something we recognise

I'm afriad I don't use one or know what that is.... Yeah, i know, I'm new to this, and new=stupid.
If you understand my problem with the shourcuts on thr all apps screen i'd love to know what you got to say about it.
thanks man
New don't mean stupid mate - you are stupid if you're stupid though
The launcher is the homescreen, with all your shortcuts and widgets on it, and encapsulates the app drawer as well.
In your case, since it's a HD build, I'm guessing that means Desire HD, and I'm also guessing that you have Sense on there.
Is that right?

Yeah!!! 100% right.
Okay. Do you want to keep Sense? I only ask because I use something called Launcher Pro, which is basically like your desktop, with widgets and shortcuts, but it also encapsulates the app drawer. With Launcher Pro you can hide shortcuts from the app drawer, but I've never seen this in any other launcher, including Sense.
Is there a way to keep sense and still be able to remove the shourcuts i don't want?
I like the sense thing.
Its just weird I can't find a way to deal with this all apps screen and edit it somehow.
btw- thanks for helping, =)

No worries mate, but as I said, Launcher Pro is the only launcher I know of with this option. It's something that would be in the launcher itself - not something that could easily be added on.
Got it. so I guess Sense and removing shourcuts is something that can't be done,
Thanks again.

Not that I'm aware of. Unless there's some hidden method within Sense itself then I'd imagine that you're asking for new functionality, which would need re-coding and a rebuild of Sense.
I've had a bit of a google and couldn't find anything else either.
I know it's not ideal, but try Launcher Pro. It's in the market and it's free (there's a paid version with some more options). When you press the home button you'll get asked what launcher to use, so you can toggle between Sense and Launcher Pro (and the default Android Launcher) and see which you prefer. It'll mean setting up all your pages again, and you won't have access to the HTC widgets in Launcher Pro, but there's swings and roundabouts.
If you don't like it, you just uninstall it and go back to using Sense. It won't affect your current Sense setup at all, so you won't lose anything.

Is there a way to remove a home screen (one of the seven) after I have deleted all the apps/widgets off of it? I find that I really only need 4 or 5 of therse screens. Thanks!

The only way I know to do this is remove roise and that gives you 5 screens. You can then install any custom launcher and set how many screens you want. I dont think custom launchers work with sense but i may be wrong. I have made my own rom with no sense and use custom launcher. Runs a lot faster.

you could get a new home replacement on the market that will let you customize how many screens you have.
some ppl reported they don't see some launchers in market..
search for "Launcher" and try these out:
LauncherPro Beta
HelixLauncher
ADW.Launcher
For 2.1 Tag Home
They are all customizable (screens, docking shortcuts, programs layout, etc)
NOTE: Sense Widgets are built into Sense, so if you're gonna use different launcher some widgets will disappear..
I have an Evo and some of the launchers don't show up, which is rather annoying...it would be nice to have LauncherPro as an alternative to the stock Launcher (hard to get to on the Evo but you can enable it) or Sense.
Is there a way to turn off sense or maybe install APK's to replace the crapware. I'd like to get the standard android Contacts app instead of this pain to use sense version.
Thanks for and information, I'll be eagerly awaiting root and CM5
I also want to remove the UI tmobile has placed on it.
Just want android 2.1 vanialla or with htc sense
You can always choose a launcher program. helix launcher, adw launcher, and launcherpro are the 3 best. I use adw launcher. helix is the only one in the market right now, the others you have to get apk file. adw launcher has the apk on their website now since google is haveing market issues. This will give you a great stock-like experience and can be customized a little beyond stock which is nice but you don't have to if you want it very stock.
there is a way to sort of remove sense but once you do it i dont know if you can get it back without hard reseting it. Go to settings/applications/manage applications then find htc sense click on it then clear the memory after that push the home key and it should give you the option to pick the regular android launcher.
disclaimer this worked on older versions of sense ie the 1.5 based heros have not tried on the slide yet

Actually it does, it resets your quicklinks or shortcuts on your screen.
EDIT:
If you changed your homepage from the default 5 screen to 7 and did the procedure mentioned above, your homepage will revert back to 5 screens even if you changed your settings in the "Personalize" to 7 pages. I tried it on mine just to see the effect and ended up hard resetting my device to get it back to actually seeing 7 screens. Please correct me if it's only me, a bug or if anyone has a better solution than doing a hard reset.
Hey all,
So I am not new to Android, but I am new to using a launcher or anything other than regular apps. I want to try the ADW launcher, but I have some questions since I don't really know anything about how launchers work.
Can someone explain to me the very basics of what installing a launcher will do? Also, if I don't like it or don't understand it, can I uninstall and not have to hard reset?
Is there a how-to for using ADW?
Thanks ahead of time!
Install it thru the Android market place just search adw launcher and if you don't like it uninstall like any other app from the Android market

So I can just uninstall and not have to do any reset?
Can you explain to me what a launcher does (briefly)?
Sorry for such a basic question, but hey we all have to learn sometime.
Thanks!
go hear its anderwebs dev page the dev for adw launcher. it should be able to tell you everything about the launcher and show you some picture of what it looks like and what it does. but yea just install from android market and if you dont like just uninstall like any other app without having to reset your device just go to market/downloads then uninstall.
http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/
hears a video of it to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5gRgpuQE_k&feature=fvst
the version in this video is 0.7.1 and it is now on 0.7.8 so theres been plenty of new features since then
I really appreciate the info. I installed it this morning, but couldn't even figure out how to change the settings. I read the instructions on adw's page so I might try again.
My calendar widget wouldn't work and there were also only 5 screens instead of 7. Can you have 7?
Maybe I need to mess with it more. I guess I'm just not sure of the benefits of using it. Will it help my battery last longer? Will the MTS be faster? Or is it more of an aesthetic thing?
thnx
I didn't have any problems with it other than lag here and there. It might just need the dev to do a bit of fine tunning, or could be me with my luck. Nice interface. Good features, and a lot of flexibility. I do like sense though and I think I will just deal with all of TMobiles extra crap for the time being. All in all a great replacement though.
Press the menu key while on the home screen, then you can select the ADW settings. You can have 7 screens if you want.
The HTC Sense widgets will not work outside of the sense launcher.

what he said
also keep in mind that My Modes function will not work with a launcher program. I tried Helix, ADW, and launcherpro and since they seem to be just a "skin" so the apps don't rearrange and stuff when you change modes. It meesses it up. Then when you uninstall you have to set up modes again. Just FYI, not sure if you use the modes or not.
Thanks for all of the info. I don't use modes, but I do like the widgets, particularly calendar and weather. Being able to see what I have to do every day right on the home screen(s) is very helpful!

Hi,
I've been with WinMo since 2001 until about a week ago when I switched to andriod. I have many questions and was unsure where to turn to. I will try here. If there is a better place, please let me know.
I have a Desire Z that I got with ATT 3G bands. I have successfully rooted the device, overclocked it, and installed Cyanogen 6.
1) When I hit the power button, I still have to swipe my finger across the screen to unlock. How do I make it so I don't have to do this?
2) I had some difficulty upgrading to Cyanogen 6 and was unable to get 7 to work. IfI want to mess around further with roms, is there some way I can backup EVERYTHING so if I screw up, I can make my phone exactly the way I have it now without a whole lot of work re-installing stuff, etc.?
3) The link to the phone, app, and browser are all stuck on the bottom of the phone. Can I get rid of this?
4) When laying apps out on the home screen, there seems to be some kind of grid that they are locked into that makes it hard to move them exactly where I want them. It will let me lay them so they overlap each other, but not very close to each other. Is there some way to overcome this?
5) I can't seem to arrange apps close to the top of the screen because the garbage can overlay slides down and when I move the app near the top it thinks I am trying to throw it away.
6) Is there an app that will show both the current weather and an icon for the weather conditions in the status bar?
Wow, a lot of questions...
1, Go to Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Input Settings and select Trackball wake/Trackball Unlock or Menu Unlock and after that you will be able to select Disable Unlock Slider
2, Try Titanium Backup (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup)
3, As far as I know CM6 uses ADW.Launcher as default launcher. You can change it to LauncherPro (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher) which is fully customisable
4, There is a grid which can't be changed
5, LauncherPro has the trash icon at the bottom
6, Sorry, I didn't find any

Hello Everyone.
I went and found some of these answers on my own. I also was able to upgrade to CM7.
1) I found an app for it but will try PsHeger's solution.
2) I found that the bootloader/Rom manager do a good job of this, too.
3) I was able to remove it in the app launcher rather than using pro.
4) This absolutely pisses me off. I have a Winmo 6.5 phone that lets me have a nice, organized home screen. I can't believe there isn't a better solution to this. Good lord.
6) Go Weather App does this.
if you set your grid settings to 10x10 rows and columns in launcher pro, you can put the icons and widgets pretty much anywhere.

You can try this, but you will need to buy a pro key for laincherpro to strech the widgets or they will look really stuid

Hi,
I am fairly new to the Android world and I have some questions for you guys.
So as I said the Atrix is my first Android phone I've already rooted it and done all the modification we, bell users, can do.
There is one thing that I think is really weird and its the widget positioning. Why do all widgets have 1/8 of free space on top, on bottom and on the side? And why is there already "pre-designed" area to put you widget in? It feels to me like I can't place them like I want... Am I doing something wrong or is there an option somewhere to remove that?
I tried searching Google for that but wasn't able to find the right word so I can get relevant results.
I am currently using Go Laucher.
Thanks for you help and sorry if there is some english mistake, english isn't my first language.
It is like a fixed grid, but you can have some more freedom/customization using apps like luncher pro

or using go launcher create a 5x5 grid, or use desktop visualizer to use custom icons all over, etc etc
LauncherPro Plus allows widget resizing. Get it if you dont already have it.
Stick with Go Launcher because 1) it's free and 2) it allows widget resizing without paying (ala Launcher Pro Plus).
Set your grid to 4x5 tight or 5x5 extra tight and you will have barely any margins on the sides.
I changed to 5x5 and it helped a lot!!
Thanks to everyone!
I've got a question slightly related, is there a way to set up the original homescreen launcher to come up when I press the home button because I got Go Launcher and pressing home only seems to go there and I have to kill it to get back to the original screen.

settings/applications/manage applications/go launcher/clear defaults
Thanks for the reply, I already did that but i can set the default for the home button as as the original launcher as long as I have other launchers installed, the original just doesn't show up in the list of choices. I have Launcher Pro as well as I was testing which I would like better but when I press home the list comes up with only Go & Pro launchers, I guess I'll just have to go with a third party one then it seems the default launcher doesn't get it's own app or whatever.
just uninstall them if you dont want to use 3rd party launcher....its that simple
