So I deleted a few of the HTC toggle widgets from the screen (thinking i could always put them back later,) but i can't figure out how to restore them. Anybody know?
If you are serious, touch and hold your screen then follow the breadcrumbs.
I know how to add widgets to the screen. I just wasnt finding the ones i wanted in the list. I now see that they're under the settings subheading.
Thanks for your help
for me, just long-press on the screen or press the "plus" sign, and then "add widget".
scroll down to what looks like it might be a "settings" widget, but when you press on it, another menu pops up with all the toggles, like 4g, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth. Just press on whichever one you want, and it will show up on your home screen.
If that doesn't work, then you have a problem.

I have a TP2 and for some reason, the icons on my start screen have vanished! Basically, when I press the start/windows button in the top left, it opens up the start screen but the icons cannot be seen.
The funny thing is, they are still there because if I press the screen, I can load up the programs that you can use from the start screen - it's like the icons are invisible but are actually still there, I just can't see them but I can use them. Can anyone help me out with that?
Don't worry, it's fixed, soft reset XD
Right, I have a rooted DHD running CM7 if that matters, but I have been using widget locker for a while, and decided I want to take a break from it, so I turned it off in the widget locker settings, then I lock my phone and unlock it to find that there is absolutely nothing apart from my wallpaper and my status bar, so I have tried a reboot, comes back to the same blank screen, battery pull does the same, I cannot hold down home to bring up recent apps.. And I don't really want to have to flash a new rom/restore from a backup..
So I was wandering is there a way to force start an app through ADB or similar? For example, if I could force widget locker to come up, I could re-enable it and the problem would be gone, or if I could force start my launcher I could go into the settings etc, can this be done or am I stuck with restoring a backup/flashing a new rom? Thanks in advance..
Also, irritatingly, when I hold the power button to bring up the power menu my launcher is visible for about 0.5 seconds, and I cannot interact with it, because I am in my power menu
Ok, I fixed it, for anyone who has this issue, what you need to do is phone yourself from a different phone, answer the call and then press home to bring the home screen up, go to widget locker and re activate it Phew..
Hello everyone,
I'm using my phone with CM7 mod. I want to remove widgets and icons on home screen, trying to tap and hold specific icon, but nothing happens, phone just vibrates a little bit and that's it.. Tap and hold is not working only on home screen, in the menu it works. So please, if anybody knows the solution, i'll be very grateful for this.
Which launcher are you using?
click menu, then more and uncheck lock desktop
So, I really want to use Go Launcher, but have one issue. I want when I press the home button that it takes me to my middle home page. For example, let say I'm on screen four, I then go to an app, I then want to go to my HOME(main screen), when I press the home button, it takes me to the last screen I was on. I set the home screen up in the menu. Any advice? Thanks!
Try double tapping the home key

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Under Go Launcher's preferences, the Gesture section, there's a setting for Home key action... set this to Function and then select "Show home screen, then overview" (or just "Show home screen", but I prefer the first myself). Then it will work ROUGHLY as you expect: a single tap of the home key while in an app or app tray will still bring you to the last home screen you were on, but tapping it again will bring you to your middle screen (and a third tap, if you selected the option I like, will show you the overview of all your home screens). FYI, I think you also need to disable S Voice's shortcut on the home key for this to work as well (it's in the settings inside S Voice as I recall).
My power button has finally gone to complete crap. The only way I can use it is if I pull the back off and press down at a certain angle. Which is rather annoying and not worth the troubles just to turn my screen off. It's a snap to wake my device because all I have to do is press the Home key and it pops right on. I'd like to avoid apps that put a widget on your home screen, I've already played around with those and it feels wonky to turn my screen off like that. Though if I have to, I'll deal with it. So any alternatives anyone has to offer? Perhaps maybe mapping it to the search key since I never use it?
You can use screen timeout option from settings to lock the device automateclly after 15 seconds
And if 15 seconds is long, there are apps in the store that lock the phone after 5 seconds
Yeah, I have it set to 15 seconds, but it's not quite quick enough since I usually whip it out to text then immediatly put it away. My leg likes to open a bunch of crap up and pocket dial people. I'll look into that five second app though, that sounds nice.
I use screen off and lock from market but I dont use the short cut,I just link swipe up in gestures with ADW Launcher to the app.So just one swipe of the screen switches screen off.
Well I mean if you manage to flash custom roms like CyanogenMod it have the feature "Volume rocker wake" under Display.
And if you don't want to use LockScreen, the app App Locker can lock specific apps using pin numbers.
Some kernel for Galaxy devices have the feature to touch screen to wake, but I don't know if there is one available for this device.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but I think I finally found my resolution. I installed Holo Launcher and it let's you link your Home button to do an action if you're already on your default screen. I installed a Screen Off app and linked it with the Home button. So all I have to do is press Home twice to shut off my screen. Much nicer.
