I hate the screen to the left of my home screen, how can I remove it?
Open the home screen you want to remove, long press anywhere on that screen until you see the WIDGETS button at the bottom, press WIDGETS button, then just long press the screen you wish to remove and drag to the top to remove.
To change or add back just do the same, but instead just put a check in the widgets you want adding. HTH

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove it with the touchwiz launcher, unrooted.

What did I just post above? You don't need root or anything else to remove it. However you will have to leave at least one widget, that cannot be removed.

Your response does not make sense. You can't remove the screen and you must leave at least one widget on it.

There are 2 screens to the left, you can remove the first one easily. The last one only the widgets can be removed except for one.
Just use an other launcher...
Use different launcher. Even custom Roms have that screen. I think it is unremovable.

Unless you root it and flash a ROM that's not Sense-based, no, you can't. You know what else is annoying? People hitting the home button for no discernible reason when they're already on the middle home screen.

I like launcherpro, but the option to disable it from launcherpro seems to have disappeared! try it out, but you won't be able to use sense widgets

I've just downloaded this and have no idea how to get it to work, it says to long press on home screen and select widgets, but it doesn't have that option. Not supported for ICS??

Obviously not tried this with beautiful widgets. Their widgets do not show up in app draw. Only way to get them to work is 'long-pressing' home screen, which we know doesn't give a widget option in ICS.
As far as I'm aware, you would need a custom launcher which has long-press home screen for widgets option. Not worth it imo. I uninstalled my BeautifulWidgets App within 10 minutes of paying 10p for it yesterday, not wasting that kind of money!
I had this problem, beautiful widgets not showing up in app drawer.
Restarted my phone and they show up now.

aspudgun,
WOW! can you say [email protected] to youself? I have the program... I have a GN and I use the widget on the stock launcher... how about u shut your mouth before you run it like a moron... sorry for being rude but i'm not going to take crap from someone who thinks they know it all...
but here are the steps to prove as I just did it on my GN again to make these steps.
1. hit app drawer.
2. select widgets at top of the screen
3. slide over to right until you see the Beautiful Widgets...
4. press and hold the widget of your choice for it
5. place on the screen of your choice you want it to be on
6. remove finger from screen to drop widget on screen
7. screen pops up to setup the widget how you like it (you can get back to the settings by selecting the weather icon in the widget and then hitting the menu soft button which is in the upper right corner)
8. then hit the Save & Apply button and done
Amazing how things work isnt it aspudgun???
again sorry to Jlovell and others for having to read this to get working steps...

What are you talking about? You use beautiful widgets just like any other widget. Did you happen to look at all the widgets that started with the word beautiful in the app drawer? I'm using it now and its super easy

You sometimes have to reboot for widgets to appear in the app drawer... You guys really take this stuff personally LMFAO
Thanks for calling tech support, have you tried turning it off and on again?
Lol, about half the widgets I've downloaded required a reboot to show up in the app drawer...when something doesn't work right, reboot.
A question, when I go in my widget setting to try and change it as I want to change something, I go into settings -> general and it force closes on me, I'm trying to get the black squares to disappear for the Ice Cream Sandwich Super Clock skin by a person named Tama-Chan.
If you can't do it using the app, is there any way to edit a current skin? I just want to remove the black squares and change the font to Roboto to match the ICS font? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

There was an update this morning that mentioned ics compatibility so maybe you can now edit preferences for a widget properly or you could try this:
I did it by removing and re-adding the widget. When you re-add it you get a dialogue asking you what settings you want to use which works.
Hey guys,
As the title says I am looking for a way to disable that stupid function when you install an app there will be automatically a shortcut added to the desktop.
Didn't find any solution for that, even using different launcher and no sense launcher.
It really ****s up my beautiful desktop screens.
Thanks in advance.

It's in the market settings ('Auto-add widgets')
you can also just long press and drag the widget up to where it says "remove" at the top of the screen. i prefer downloading the widget and then deciding if i want it visible or not.

thanks for the clarification. as i said, i prefer deciding whether it should be visible or not, rather than having them all not visible (and maybe having to hunt for it).
I normally use a blank page for this: First navigate to that page, then install the applications.
Now this page has all applications I have to try out.
It's some sort of todo page.
Does anyone know how to add more home screens? I have my M8 converted to full GPe and I don't see an option to add more home screens. I checked in settings/display and no option is there.
If memory serves me correctly, try taking an app from the drawer, hold it, and then when it goes to the homescreen, hold it to the left or right edge of the screen as if there were another page there. I think it automatically creates one if you have an app that your holding.

Then just move to your right most page, and click the "+ Panel" on the partial screen to the right of that one.

With Google Play Edittion you can have many home screens.
With Sense you can only have max 6 (including blinkfeed). Is there any way to increase to say 9 home screens. Do any custom roms have this option?

If you want that many home screens you could always use a custom launcher like Nova. And although you can't have Blinkfeed as one of the screens there is a pretty easy workaround to make it accessible from any of the home screens.
Either add a shortcut (Activity) on a screen to the HTC Launcher after deleting all but the Blinkfeed page, or even more convenient, set the Activity as a gesture launch action.
Are you able to set a home screen in the OP launcher? For example I like for my 2nd of my 3 screens to be my home screen.
Every other launcher I've used allow this but I can't figure it out with the OP launcher.
Is it possible?
1. Hard press on the screen
2. You'll see all your screens.
3. Press on the screen you want.
4. Select and drag to the position of the home screen.

I think he wants his homescreen to be the middle of his 3 screens so that there is another screen to the left and right of his homescreen. I've looked around it it doesn't appear to allow you to do this. Perhaps it's because it needs space for the Shelf.
