Empty home screen added randomly - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have this very strange issue.
After doing some actions(settings or play store , i haven't figured out exactly what causes this) once i get at the home screen i find that an empty home screen is added. I have no way to remove it unless i place an app over it and then remove it, at this point the home screen disappears.
Anyone with this same issue.
PS. Perhaps its important, i have only one home screen with only apps and folders, no widgets.

No you can't I think you're thinking of MaxManila.
on the home screen, click on menu>remove home screen tabs and untick the ones you don't want
Hi all
Yes i know you can remove certain icons but you are always left with the home icon but this just seems a waste of space and also i like to have a full clear home screen.
Try this, let me know if it works for you though, didn't install properly on mine, had to uninstall.

[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?

[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.

camera apk

Some how I have removed my camera short cup from the home screen and I do not know how to bring it back. Any help will be appreciated!
It's not in the app drawer? Find it in the app drawer and touch and hold it until it moves it to the home screen. If you don't see it in your app drawer, go to settings/apps to see if it's still in your installed apps list.
Apps just don't disappear randomly.
I can still see the APK but I can't bring it to the home screen, if I use the search function I can find it is just I can bring it from there to the home screen. I know I didn't disappear , it was my daughter or me

Hold down on it and drag it up to the top of the screen.

Can't add Google or Chrome shortcut to home screen

I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
