TF700T Home Screen Pages

Is there any way to remove blank or unused pages on the home screen? I organize my apps into named folders so I've no use for the other four pages pages.

Not in the stock launcher. Some other launchers (like: GO Launcher HD (EX is only for phones, HD is for tablets)) will allow you to control this. Others here have used Apex and Nova Launcher, but I can't speak to them. I do know that there were stability issues with some of those.

try pressing the home button,--> after pressing it, it will show you all the desktop pages, you can click and drag those pages that you are not using up into the trash bin (same process when you delete widgets from your homescreen)
hope it helps .. ^_^

Will using a launcher kill my battery?

Wont let me edit my last post. Grr. I guess what I want to know is if stock launcher will still be running under or alongside apex launcher? I don't want two launchers eating up resources.

From my consulting days "It Depends."
The launcher itself shouldn't. It replaces the default launcher (the first time you press 'home' you can select the default - go to settings ->apps -> the launcher -> clear defaults (or uninstall the launcher) to get back to the stock one). If you use GO there are a lot of cool ad-ons and widgets that will consume battery but you have to download them separately and add them manually. Since you're trying to keep one screen I'll assume that you wont be adding a ton of widgets.
The only difference in system is that some launchers may take more memory than others and if there is battery drain it's trivial (like checking daily for an update instead of weekly or something not enough to notice by any means).
Note that when you change your launcher you will have to re-setup your home screen. If you revert to the stock launcher your old setup will still be there, so it's not lost. Each launcher just saves their own configuration.
Good luck!

Thanks, everyone. I look forward to participating here in the forums. I am also on overclock.net.
P.S. has anyone done extensive comparisons on which launcher performs the best and uses the least amount of resources while doing so? Im open to opinions.

Happy to help!
No one has done a full comparison (that I know of) but reading through these might help (some are more general and background, some should give you an idea of problems/questions that other people have.)

I used Apex on my Droid Bionic. It's VERY close -- as in, nearly identical -- to the stock Moto launcher. I liked it a lot, better than ADW, in fact.

Tried your suggestion but pressing the home button doesn't bring the home screen pages in my case.

Screen looks great but icons look blurry.

i guess Android is not ready for such high resolution because most app icons look like blurry dirt on our screen. Not what i was expecting. It stand out from the screen. When i show my infinity to people they notice the lowres icon right away.

??? No idea what you are talking about.
Pics describe a thousand words.
Had a prime and now have an infinity - everything is sharp on my screen.

Have you messed with the DPI at all or have you installed the TF300 firmware?
My icons are not blurry or pixelated in any way...

U can see icons like my library, my cloud, file manager etc. They are lowres icon madefor 720p res screen and have been expand to 1080p ending in a blurry icon. I cannot believe noone has notice this. U can clearly tell which app icon were upgrade to this screen and which were expand.

i forget that a lot of people aren't into customizing their screens and using alternate icon sets. You can do so much with what's available for free or cheap in the Play Store.

This is the app makers fault, not the tablet. For the Asus apps they're to blame of course, but other apps can only be fixed by the app developers.
But yeah, some apps still have low resolution icons which looks bad. In-app graphics that's low resolution is worse though.

Stock google app icons look bad too

and this is why i laugh at people who swear by a 1080p 10" device. all the detail they claim they can see but can't see how blurry a lower res icon is. i deal with this all the time at work when customers send low res images.
that's not saying i wouldn't like a 1080p screen, it's just that people really don't notice as much as they think they do.
but really, what can you expect? a lot of apps are just now starting to catch up to 720/tablet sizes.

Believe me - the difference is *very* noticeable! I loaded CM10 on my TF101 this morning - the difference is much bigger than you think! I personally, never really cared about the icons - they are just icons! But the difference in text is immediately noticeable!

after watching a few review, one of them answer my question. He said the same thing about the icon looking blurry because they have not optimize the icons for 1080p resolution.

help with wallpapers

Hi everyone
I am a bit puzzled with wallpapers for the TF700, most of the ones that you download seem to get cut off. I recently downloaded the "wallpaper bay for tablet" app and all the wallpapers from the app fit great on the TF700 and dont get cut off at all. But i restarted my tablet just now and the wallpaper has resized itself and is cut off.
Is there a way around this? How do you get wallpapers to fit on the TF700 without having to crop it?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You

Thank you!!!! But is that app glitched? cant seem to select single pictures as a source, so i had to create a new folder and place my wallpaper file in there.

Icon dock for stock?

I really like the minimalist look and feel of the stock Asus theme. Nova, Apex, etc have to many bells and whistles for my tastes. But, I really like the icon dock. Any way to add that feature to stock?

Install CROMI with the new JB launcher. You'll get stock everything and that neat dock at the bottom following you around.

Widget app for Infinity

I have been having great luck with UCCW on my phone. Is there an app similar for tablet size widgets?

Not really (that I know of) but cool tablet widget are:
- HD Widgets (weather/clock/quick toggles),
- EyeInSky (weather)
- (I like stock widgets )
UCCW should work fine on a tablet (just like pretty much every widget), but it will not look great most of the time.
