Home Screen Merry-go-round - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

HI. I'm coming from Android 5 to 7. Is there anyway to make the home screen to return to the first page after reaching the last one?
I had this before. My home screen had 3 pages and after the 3rd, if I kept scrolling I return to the first one.
Thanks!

Nova Launcher enables this.

Thanks but I was trying to find if it can be done with a setting. Don't want to install anything else. Perhaps I lost this feature.

Hi experts,
the A100 have by default "5 Screens" you can put your applications or widgets on
My question is if there is a way to reduce the number to 1 or 2 ?
Thanks,

Depends on the launcher in use if that can be done or not.

Not sure about the default launcher, it's been a long time since I've used it but I know you can with other launchers like Nova plus you get many other options. Just install it and let it export everything from your default launcher. You can then change the number of screens in the settings or by pressing the home button from the center home screen.

[Issue/Q/Sugg.] Nova Launcher screen changing

I have 3 screens, and I have infinite scrolling turned on. On the bottom of the screen I have soft buttons to switch to each screen.
If I'm on screen 1 and hit the zooper button to go to screen 3, it goes to the middle one, then the third, but since infinite scrolling is on it could have simply gone 'backwards' and been a much faster transition like going from page 2 to either page 1 or 3, since it only 'travels' across to the page it wants.
Could the way this works be improved to take into account infinite scrolling and find the homescreen/page faster?
Thanks.

This is something you should probably suggest to the developer of Nova Launcher since this is something only they can change

I see, thanks, I thought that zooper might be able to do it itself. I'll shoot them an email.
Thanks again.

Can you set a home screen in OP launcher?

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.
FINISHED

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.

Pixel Launcher DP2 Not Showing New Home Button

I normally use Nova Launcher as my default launcher but wanted to try Pixel launcher. As you can see in screenshot, I am not getting the Pixel home button, but the one from Nova Launcher.
Settings > system > Gestures > "swipe up on home button"
The new nav bar is not tied to the launcher. I use the new pill navigation on Nova launcher
Thats also the one from the Pixel and not from the nova launcher, as the nova launcher hasn't softkeys intgrated. I assume you mean the gesture-controll button, you have to activate it in Settings/system/gestures/"swipe from homebutton" (or so)

D'OH I thought I had activated that. Working now. Thanks
has anyone using Nova noticed that the back button shows even on the home screen? I believe it should show only when there is a need for it right? I switched to the stock launcher and it doesn't show there.

Yup lol. I got the same response. And something as silly as the back button always showing is keeping me from using it. For now I'm using pixel launcher.

how to change default launcher on avrl00

157 update allows you to change default launcher here's how I've not messed much cause I'm happy with huawei launcher let me know how others get on with other launchers.. Always force stop huawei launcher when you clear default to begin as on video
Screenshot i missed
You could always try to reset settings so you can choose your launcher , I'm sure people will mess about with it for those interested in using a different launcher
I don't use ADB but I'm sure if you delete huawei launcher you can then set any without any bugs if any

Thanks for trying square home :good:
Progress, but I'm still seeing the launcher switch back to The Huawei home launcher every time I try to access recent apps. In Nova I set a gesture to "pinch out" and I get to the recent apps list, then when I swipe up to go home it crashes back to Huawei app. Maybe in the next update this will be fixed. These updates seem to be coming out pretty rapidly.

Yep - nice that /i can see the default launcher option... Not nice that I can't change it.
Hope that it gets a FIX (yes, Huawei, it is not cool at the moment), before I get my break over December and can have NOVA or other launcher before then - I guess, otherwise, it will be looking at ADB option and deleting the HOME app as per suggestion.

On the plus side, i've had my EVR-TL00 for only 9 days and in that time had THREE updates from Huawei. They must have sold millions of these things in china to get that kind of update frequency. This could in theory be fixed in less than a week.

There is definitely an upside to this phone. I am extremely happy in almost all other aspects of it. As a user in China, my battery life suffers massively form using a vpn constantly. I have never had a phone that could last a whole (real) long day - ie from 7am to 1 or 2 am.
This one delivers. The camera is also a massive upgrade form S8+
It is awesome!

Was weird, it was working for me initially for like half a day after switching via Twist - but I managed to break it. Ha ha - so XDA of me. Despite it sticking and working in NOVA, the swipe up gesture wouldn't take me back to the home screen and I really liked that. So I then went into gestures on nova settings... and the rest is history, I guess I probably updated some permissions or so forth... changed the gestures through NOVA. Bing-ba-da-boom. No longer works
PLEASE HUAWEI - READ THIS AND GIVE ME MY LAUNCHER FOR XMAS/FESTIVUS/HANUKKAH/DIWALI/HALLOWEEN/ETC.
Well as for me. I removed stock launcher via adb. I like Apex launcher, it's simplicity and the things that it can do. I don't use the default gestures and nav bar. I use Pie Control and I'm happy.
