[Q] How do you edit the today wallpaper?

How do you stretch the today wallpaper in the fuze? I can set it but its tiled, how do I make it centered or stretched to fit the screen?
Ok I figured out the change. I changed the resolution for the pic to 480*640 and it works just fine now. Its stretched to the entire screen.
BUT I have a new problem
I now have task bar showing at the top when I lock my phone. The battery bar, carrier, volume icon, start button etc. How do I get rid of it?
Also how can I change the clock and unlock scroll bar between the top screen and bottom screen?

[Q] Launcher Pro Error? Please Help~

I only want 5 home screens but it is currently set to 7. when I change my home screen settings to 5 screens, I loose the 2 screens on the far right, i dont care about loosing those screens but when I tried to just move my apps and widgets back to the left, I cannot add anything to the far left 2 screens. I keep getting a "No more room on this Home Screen" message. I cant even long press an app from my app drawer and add to this screen. Basically my two left screens are just blank and useless. I adjusted my default screen to 1 and then 2 and I still couldn't get anything added to the screen. Please help, I am about to throw this thing through the wall.
With five screens, you would want to set the default screen to 3. 1,2,3,4,5 from left to right so three would be the middle.

I forgot to mention that I had moved my main default to 3 That is not a problem though, even with my default at 3, screens 1 and 2 are completely blank. Is there a lock setting somewhere outside of Launcher Pro that I dont have set or my version of Launcher just corrupt? Has anyone ever heard of this happening? If so how did you fix it?

Isn't the 3rd screen the Home Screen? There are 5 screens in total.
The middle screen is the primary screen. The reason for this is because it is the least distance from all other screens (with a maximum of 2 swipes to any of the 5 screens). There is no way of configuring it in normal honeycomb settings as there is very little reason to other than if you have a background image you want to work well with all your main widgets and launch icons on a specific screen other than the middle one. As for trying something to change it you'd have to wait for ROMs or a launcher replacement with that kind of functionality built in (I am not aware of any with that functionality).
Looks like I will have to swap screens 1 and 3 then Is there a way to select multiple shortcuts and move them in one shot at least?

[Q] Cannot add home screens? Create folders?

I just got the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 and for the life of me I can't figure out how to add more home screens. Two is all I have. Anyone know how to do it? Also, I can't figure out how to create a new folder. I really like the phone so far but I am frustrated by these two problems. Thanks for your help
I am assuming you are still on the stock launcher . To add a home-screen, just drag anything you want to put there towards the right edge of the current rightmost home-screen and it will *automatically* create a new home-screen for you. In other words, try to push something to the right of the second screen, and it creates the third - and so on.
To create a folder just drop one app icon over another and it will automatically create a folder with both of them in it. This needs practice though because often times when you try to drop more icons to the folder , it constantly pushes the folder away. But eventually you will get it.
go to home screen -> touch anywhere (empty screen) keep finger on screen for 4-5 seconds -> you will have options for wallpapers and widgets -->on top you have all the screens --> you can try adding new thr.

Google Now Launcher doesn't work that way. You have to drag an icon or widget from the most right screen to the right edge and it will create a new home screen. Just make sure the page you are dragging the icon from has more than 1 item on the screen. Why? If the screen your on only has 1 item and you drag it to the edge to create a new screen you also just deleted the old screen as well. When the home screen becomes empty the screen is then deleted.

How can I designate a default homescreen on Nova Launcher Prime?

This has been driving me batty for months. I note [email protected] is a senior XDA member so I'm hopeful I'll find a solution here.
I'm running Android 5.0.1 on an HTC One (M8). I've had Nova Prime launcher as default for a couple years and love it, but I cannot find the magic formula for designating my primary homescreen (the one with my clock app and primary app icons--there are two screens to the left; three to the right of this screen) as default. when I tap home twice and get all homescreens in view, there are white house icons above every screen EXCEPT the one I want as default, which shows a black house icon. When I want to go to the homescreen, any of the six may come up when home is tapped.
What I'm trying to do is set my chosen homescreen as default so it pops up whenever I tap home. Not sure if it could be a factor, but I'm also using the Next lockscreen widget as well.
It used to be pretty simple to designate the default homescreen, but either it's become more complicated (or I've gotten stupider)
Any help out there?
Thanks
Go into the home screen overview, then tap and hold the home icon of the screen you want to be your default. That icon should turn white and become the default screen.
Thanks, Scottjb
This is what I find bizarre--what you've suggested only seems to work in reverse: 5 of my homescreen icons are white houses--if I tap and hold on one of those it turns black, however if I tap and hold the black house on the screen I want to designate, absolutely nothing happens. Confused here!
