[Q] App to change App Menu Layout

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the Android Realm. I use to have a Touch Pro 2 and now have the Motorola Droid 2. What I am looking for is an app, tweak or setting that will change the app menu from icon view to list view. I had this for my Touch Pro 2 but can't find anything for the Droid 2.

I would recommend Zune home if you're looking for more of a list type home replacement. I bought it and have had no problems using it. I personally am more a Launcher Pro fan.. But I think you'll injoy this app.

[Q] How to get rid of blue outlines on Paranoidandroid?

Hello,
I just flahsed Paranoidandroid 2.23 for Nexus 7, and I'd like to get rid of blue outlines that show when you scroll through pages.
On one thread, it said to go to launcher > General > Disable Tablet mode; but on my setting, only option that shows under General is 'auto-roate screen'.
Does anyone know how to set it up so it doesn't show those blue lines anymore?
Thank you in advance

Its the launcher included in the rom, it doesnt have an option to remove them. You'll have to get a different launcher

It's the same with Codename Android. Not sure why they didn't code it out of the launcher.. it's a little annoying but I love CNA so I live with it. Oddly enough, I don't recall it happening with stock JB.

A few stupid questions, if you don't mind.

Hello, two days ago I got myself Nexus 7 3G tablet, I am curious about two things, I searched everywhere in settings but I couldn't find anything, so:
1. Can I change lockscreen shortcuts? Now it is only unlock button, I had Holo Locker app on my phone which runs Android 2.3, but right now on my Tablet I use 4.2.1 Stock ROM and I can't find anything, I went to Security > Lockscreen but there's was no options for shortcuts.
2. How to sort my apps? Now it's alphabetical order, I would like to change that if it's possible.
Thank you.

1. Use a custom lockscreen app or change your ROM to one that supports lockscreen shortcuts eg. CM, AOKP, etc
2. Use a 3rd party launcher eg. Apex, Nova. Sorting can be configured in the launcher settings

How to Access Lockscreen Options in Settings

Is there a way for the average user to access the lockscreen lock settings in Settings? Because I've seen it show up when I was messing around with it but I can't find it searching on my own. Is it one of those hidden setting things?

You must use the Activity Launcher app by Adam Szalkowski from Google Play or APKPure to access hidden settings.

Cannot set custom launcher as default AND cannot change wallpaper!

Hi! I just bought a new Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus, the latest version, and used Fire Toolkit to remove all the Amazon stuff. I installed both Niagara and Nova launchers, and they will not stay set as the default launchers...
Also, I cannot change wallpaper in my settings! It just keeps jumping back to the previous settings screen.
Not sure what is going on, everything else Toolkit did is fine. Thanks!

You are running Fire OS 7.3.2.2? Amazon protected some system apps, including launcher. So it is not possible to change the default launcher.

I'm having the same issue. When I try to change the wallpaper it exits out of the settings. I was able to change wallpapers though using other wallpaper apps. For instance, the Resplash app on Google Play store let me download and change the lockscreen/home screen wallpaper with no issue.
The only issue is changing the wallpaper from the settings menu. That doesn't work for some reason.
