Don't know if this is the correct forum for this query. I have an HTC Desire Android 2.3.25 Sense 3.0. I had the Internet Icon on my Home Screen. However, today, the Internet Icon now links to the phone settngs and I cannot remove it from my Home Screen.
Please can you tell mehow I can remove Icons from my Home Screen - ones that can't be removed by dragging with a long press.
Thanks.
Go to personalize and change the Scene to any other, it will reset your entire homescreen layout, and probably remove the icon too
Thanks but no luck. The button's still there with other scenes.
Try deleting the data for your launcher from Manage Applications.

I'm not sure how it got deleted. I'm running Damage ROM. I added the Vanilla lock screen and flashed the market app fix. Somewhere when doing this my widget disappeared.
It's the widget that you can set for all the groups of people you have configured. It has 2 types, one takes up a full screen and the other is just a bar that only takes up one column of blocks. You can scroll through and set what happens when you select their name.
Can someone up this widget for me.
Thanks!
See if you can see the "People" app in Manage Applications. If so, try clearing data. That might bring the widget and app icon back.
I've had that problem with Calendar and Bookmark widgets.
I've had this issue with the bookmark and calendar widgets as well. Just go to settings>manage applications>HTC sense>Clear data. You will have to put your shortcuts and widgets back on your screens, but the missing widgets will show up.

...and what if they don't?
I have less widgets now than I did before clearing the HTC Sense data. Not the first time I've seen this problem, either.
I found that clearing the davilk-cache seems to fix things.
I had to clear it twice. The first time brought my people widget back but made my calendar disappear. The second one brought them both back.
However, I'm not sure if restarting will cause the problem again.
Hi all,
I love changing between Roms on my Galaxy S but I hate having to restore my widget configuration every time I have to wipe. I always get the dreaded 'Problem loading widget' sign where all my widgets used to be. This is especially a problem as I have a Windows Phone 7 esque layout using desktop visualizer widgets so it takes sometimes up to half an hour to get all the screens back in order. Any way to save my configuration and restore it in the new ROM?
Thanks in advance

From what I understand there isn't really any way to back up widget settings unless the widgets themselves have an option to backup/restore the config for them. SwitchPro does this now and I think that some of the widgets in LauncherPro will restore properly if you happen to use that home app. Aside from that, you'll just have to manually set the other widgets back up.
ok thanks ill try out launcherpro i was on adw.
tread is dead ,so sorry
Pertamax gan
but bootloop on r800x
Very nice. Thanks!
Ok, no matter how i move them around, icons refuse to go into the 5th row. The last row remains empty and the icons just keep moving around like before in the 4x4.
Edit: Clearing data for sony ericsson home in settings, applications did the trick.
Now there's another problem. It's a 3 screen home, but if you slide the third screen to the left you can see a music player widget on the 4th screen! Since i can't use this 4th screen, i can't access the widget to delete and hence can't add a music widget on the other 3 screens. Will update if i figure this one out.
Edit2: Here are my findings. When coming from a 4x4 app-drawer launcher, you will need to clear data for SE home in order to properly use this 5x4 launcher. However, clearing data causes the default widgets to be installed in the various screens, which includes the music widget in the 4th screen, which cannot be accessed since this is a 3 homescreen launcher and so you cannot add the music widget to the accessible 3 screens. The only solution i can think of is to install a 4 or 5 screen 5x4 app drawer launcher, then clear data, then delete the widgets from the 4th screen, then install the 3 screen version of the 5x4 launcher. Hope this didn't confuse the $hit out of everyone, but it's as clear as i could put it. I'm now going to try and edit this launcher to make it 5 screens.
Edit3: FIXED! by editing the apk to 5 screens, installing that, clearing data, now you have 5 rows in app drawer and default widgets in homescreens. Delete all widgets and install the 3 screen apk in 1st post.
@w4lkm4n would you mind telling me what's the difference between your mod and the ones in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519742

See this guide.
You need two home apk files, one with 5-screens and one with your final requirement (4/3/2 or 1).
First install the 5-screen one, clear data, delete all widgets from all screens.
Then install the lower screen one. DO NOT clear data now.
Do the Sony Widgets work on your mod launcher???

To answer your question, i don't use many sony widgets, but what i do, like music and data monitor work fine.
Since the OP has closed this thread, maybe you should try some other launcher mod like THIS one.
When ever I try to add Walkman widget, I get the message "Widget already added".
Let me give you some background on how I managed to get this message. I am having HTC Explorer and have flashed htcPICO_fusion_xperia v1 cm9. Then I was playing around with the Xperia Launcher by assigning Grid values to Home-screen and resizing the widgets. Suddenly after force resizing the Walkman widget, it disappeared and since then when I try to add the widget again its giving me the message.
I guess it has gone to some part of the screen that is beyond the visible bounds. So, how do I delete the widget from the screen without actually selecting the widget and dragging to the deleted bin.
please help

I just had to uninstall the app using a System App Unistaller (like HiUninstaller), reboot and restore the Walkman App.
Added the widget...
I received a PM asking how to do this after a post I put in the Best Launcher thread so I thought I might share how I've had my phones set up for some time which gives the best of both worlds. Namely Nova as a launcher and Blinkfeed at the touch of a button for news updates and anything else you fancy which it does. I'm unsure if you will be able to do this with another launcher rather than Nova, I've not tried.
Go to this thread and download HTC Home and HTC Servicepack and install them as any other apk file via a file explorer. Don't forget to leave a thanks. The rest of the apk files in that thread are options, I don't use them myself but if you want things like Facebook and weather to work exactly the same as a HTC device then the options are there.
Once they're installed go into Nova settings. Then go to Gestures & Inputs -> Home Button -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Sense Home -> Sense Home (the one with 'Launcher' written underneath).
You're done. This will set it up so that, when you're on Nova's homescreen, pressing the home button will launch Blinkfeed, pressing it again in Blinkfeed will take you back to Nova. At any other time the home button works as normal. You can also set it up so it works with a gesture instead, although I've always found the home button to be the best way of doing it.
Another thing worth doing, I've set up Greenify to automatically close Blinkfeed on sleep, this ensures it doesn't hog any battery in the background.
Thanks bro. It really helps!
This is great. I had some trouble in that the News Republic app I had installed was interfering with blinkfeed (not surprisingly) and not allowing it to populate. Once I removed NR blinkfeed worked great!
Is Blinkfeed significantly different than Flipboard, which can be installed from the Play Store?
Well this isn't working for me. By selecting the sense home launcher it is only opening the sense home app not blink feed.

Very much so. Blinkfeed is far better. Do a direct comparison and see what I mean.

Blinkfeed is part of that home app, swipe to the left. The easiest way of fixing this is to delete Sense home pages, meaning you end up going directly to the Blinkfeed page. The only downside of this is that the clock will always be at the top.
looking for one app to combine news, instagram and facebook feeds into one on my galaxy s7edge! Will this do it?
