HTC M9 like home sense screen - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
First of all apologies if I am repeating this thread.
I have used HTC M9 before switching to Samsung Note 8. On HTC there was a feature that displays most frequent apps used at either Work, Home or Other locations.
If I have set one location as home and the app I use frequent at home will automatically appear on the home screen when I get back to home from office. This feature looks very handy to me as it automatically switch apps on homepage on the basis of your current location.
Is there anything like that available for Note 8?
Many Thanks

Samsung i780 - Returning to home screen on wake up

Previuosly on my Tytn II, the screen is always returning to home screen after the wakeup. I know it's a bug in the pin, but it suits me.
I'm now using i780 and installed the realVGA and HTC home (6 tabs version). It works well apart from the brightness setting.
I need help if somehow I can set the phone to go to home screen each time I wake it up.

Just wanted to ask -
Don't you experience random profile and tab changes with the 6-tab HTC home?
What version of HTC home do you use?
I had to disable the profiles tab so as to not get involuntary profile changes - having my phone start ringing when it should be silent or missing calls since it went into silent profile just like that...
Just wondering, which latest version works on our i780? I've tried 2.1.xxxxx but it doesen't show up at the home screen (using the custom ROM with RealVGA integrated posted last week)

App issues - Help??

Hi all,
I've a Samsung SGS and I got the offical 2.2 update then rooted with z4root and installed OCLF. What a difference, the phone absolutely flies along.
Since then I've replaced the stock dialer with "Dialer One" which works really well (I tried aTAKEphONE but didn't like it), installed the Whatsapp IM client as a lot of my contacts have BlackBerry's and Whatsapp is a cross platform IM client and also installed the PhoneUseage app to keep track of my VF plan and not allow them to screw me each month for out of plan useage.
I now have two problems which I feel are related to installation of the above apps but have no way of proving it.
1. From time to time when I hit the "Home" icon the phone returns to the home screen but only displays the bottom four apps and it takes up to 20 seconds to refresh the home screens (I have a total of 5 home screens) with the other icons and widgets. This is a serious Lag which seems to be preceeded very briefly by the aplication I am exiting blowing up in size by a huge magnitude i.e. if I am running the Internet app and I hit the home screen for an instant the internet page I was looking at appears to zoom in to the maximum amount (literally a split second) then it switches to the main home screen with just the four bottom apps and then up to 20 seconds later the rest of the homescreen icons and widgets appear. During the 20 seconds the phone seems 'hung' but afterwards it flies along again. This only happens intermittently and not on exiting any one particular application as far as I can tell. Thoughts anyone?
2. I am unable to remove the missed calls notification from either the drop down notification area (when I tap on the notification it doesn't bring me to the missed calls list on Dialer One) and the same applies to the orange jigsaw notification if the phone is locked i.e. if I unlock by moving the orange jigsaw piece with the number of missed calls on it to the appropriate spot when I lock the screen again and go to unlock it I am still presented with the missed calls jigsaw. I suspect this has something to do with the notification actions looking for the stock dialer app whereas I'm running Dialer One but I'd appreciate your thougths if you've had a similar issue and how you resolved it. The only way I'm able to remove the missed calls notifications is by doing a battery pull which is a royal pain in the ass.
Lastly, I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me why certain apps show up in the list of apps displayed by the Automatic Task Killer app and others don't? Dialer One being a good example. I've installed the app and it's now my default dialer but it doesn't show up in the Automatic Task Killer list of apps, same with the Whatsapp IM app.
I look forward to getting your thoughts.

try replacing oclf with z4mod...
Well you do use apps that's mess with you system.
You don't need an other task killer.
I don't think its Oclf fault.
But you can always try a custom kernel and a better lagfix.

Very minor yet odd problem with screen when I turn Desire on

When I turn my phone on, and then slide down to unlock, it very briefly shows me the 'main' screen on my 7-page wide homescreen (the one that shows the time and shortcuts to email, people, etc) but then quickly zips across 2 'pages' to the left without me even touching it. Like page 2 rather than the middle one, page 4, the default screen when I turn it on from sleep.
Does anyone know why it might do this?
Make sure you don't come near your htc desire trackball, if I assume you have a desire! In my experience with my desire it is some times very sensitive to the smallest movement (skipping 7 screens when trying to switch 1 screen)

I always found the Sense UI very buggy when it came to managing the screens. I would sometimes loose all widgets and shortcuts until I switched to an empty screen then back again. Or it would jump to the last screen randomly when an app closed.
Just get rid of Sense UI and you won't have the problem (you may want to wait until your warranty is up).

Issue with action memo pin to home screen

Dear all,
I'm using Note 10.1 2014 SM P607T, stock rom 5.1.1, rooted.
The device works perfectly except for one point: when I create an action memo and pin it to home screen as a widget, it disappears from home screen after a while, or when I use other apps, sometimes after reboot. This is quite annoying because I use action memo a lot for my work, therefore I want to save all memos in home screen to easily manage them.
Is there a solution to fix this? Thanks a lot.
Ps: I only want to use action memo because it is synced well with s pen and s note, I tried other widget note apps but not happy with them.

Mate 20 X Lock screen settings..

Hi everyone, i just bought my first mate 20 x phone and its been great so far, ive come from the samsung s8+, but im just having a few problems and hoping you guys have some ideas..
1. Can we change the Lock screen settings? ive noticed theres a camera shortcut on the bottom right, also ive tried a different theme which removes the shortcut but now leaves multiple shortcuts on the bottom when i swipe up, it has the calculator, stopwatch etc.. i could remove all this on the s8 lock screen settings.
2.The other problem ive been having is the android setup keeps popping up asking me to connect to my wifi, which it already is and will not let me press next, will it be okay if i just disable this?
thanks for your help guys
EDIT---------
ok so ive done some research and it looks like we cant mess around with the lock screen shortcuts etc, hopefully in a new update we can, as for the android setup problem, i just disabled this and the phone has been working fine so far.
