More home screens - Captivate General

Anyone know how to add more home screens or maybe of an app that helps you create more?

Go to any blank screen hit settings and then edit - tap the fray plus sign at the bottom of the screen. You can only add one blank screen at each end of the screens display - but you can add one item, add another screen then go back adn delete that one item and have two blank screens.

Change default buttons

I was curious if it was possible to change the default buttons at the bottom? I am talking about the phone, email, web and application buttons. I really just want to change the web one to be the browser I downloaded. I am rooted if that helps

Go into your app drawer, click and hold your browser that you want and drop it onto the spot you wanna put it. That should do it.

You can (with Go Launcher EX) depending on what you mean by "App screen"? If you mean "App drawer", you can create folders in the App Drawer by dragging any item on top of another.

Well I could on my iPhone but not here. I just tried with 2 side by side icons and all they do is change places!

OK figured it out . On the app page you go into edit mode. Then you long touch on an icon and drag it down to the bottom where a few options appear ,one being a folder. So after you drop it in the folder, it moves up to the screen and you can drop other icons into it.

Try again... side by side icons work... just long press one icon (red X appears), then drag onto any app icon AND KEEP HOLDING FIRST ICON until box appears underneath... then let go and folder name screen appears.
Nope no go , no little red boxes . But I do remember seeing them on my phone on one revision or other.

[Q] Custome homescreen for touch wiz ?

Ok so i did a little research and nothing so far. I have a picture that i want to make my homescreen. I want to make it not have scroll but every app i found just blows it up and just centers the picture. i saw something about modded touch wiz but im hoping to find a easier way because honestly im on the run. I just want the image to be cropped to fit with no scroll.
Any help?
Try this app. It caused no excessive battery drain and it made it easy to set walls the way I wanted to. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cellophanesoftware.superwalllite
Also, you could download picspeed wallpaper app. It offers the ability to set a wall through the gallery using it and you can choose portrait mode. See screenshots. In the first pic, you'll select the 2nd option from the bottom. In the 2nd pic, you'll select the highlighted box on the left under the pic for portrait mode.
Good luck, let me know of any questions.

Picspeed is this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.srsdev.wallpapers
The first one is a live wallpaper app, it will only show up if you select live wallpaper option. This is the reason I mentioned the piece about the minimal battery drain when using it. Go with Picspeed and see if it works for you first though. You may also have to use a 3rd party gallery to select the photo before setting it as your wall. I use quickpic cause it's fast. I just open quickpic, navigate to the photo I want, press menu soft key, select set as, select the option shown above in the pic, and boom! Works every time.

[Q] How can you keep a blank/empty home screen?

I want to keep the home screen to the immediate right of Google Now completely empty to better see my glorious wallpapers, but I can't figure out how to keep that empty home screens from getting deleted.
Use a different launcher?

You can't have that particular screen be empty without it being your only screen on GEL. You will need to use a different launcher if that is your goal.
How about using desktop visualizer, choosing a random app, and using a blank image. It won't be empty, but it'll look empty.

You can see my blank desktop visualizer here, it does absolutely nothing when clicked.

Drawer with scroll app?

Good day everyone I've been looking for an app that enables to draw a shape on your screen and use it at as a drawer to put things there and that will let me scroll up and down, not like a folder but more like an extra screen but of a size that I choose. Anyone knows of something like this? Thanks a lot
