(Q) Adding/Removing Homescreen - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm kind of embarrassed to even ask this.
But, does anyone know how to add or remove Homescreen?
Thanks

On your existing home screen, do the 'pinch to zoom out gesture'. Now you should be able to edit your home screens.Tap the + symbol to add a home screen. To delete a home screen, press and hold a home screen, then drag into the trashcan and release, when the outline turns red.

[REQ] app that assigns the home button to something else?

Press the home button it takes you back to the home screen. Press it again it takes you the the preview of all 7 screens at once. I don't know if theres an app for it but I would like to be able to assign the home button to something else such as app drawer, music player or camera... instead of previewing all 7 screens at once.
anybody? no?
I don't think to many people would care for this, not to say there aren't some that do. Home being home just seems more functional IMO. I don't really see the need for it to be linked to something else when there screen is right there with a widget/shortcut.
But to each their own, hopefully someone can whip this up for you =], or you can take the adventurous route and try your hand at it.
I myself would like to reassign the search button as a dedicated camera button.
use adw and you can change the home button to show/hide status bar
+1 on that as well

How to set default home panel

I removed some of the panels from the touchwiz and now my home panel has changed. I.e pressing the home button takes me to the wrong panel.
Can idea how it can be changed back? I have a total of 5 panels now and the center panel should be the home.
I have the same problem. I hope somebody has a fix for that
remove other panels on one side and add them on the opposite side, that's what I had to do once.... just make sure to do it as many screens over you are from your ideal homepage
I posted this question on another forum and no one knows a way to specifically pick your home screen. But after some testing one poster did figure this out. If you have anywhere from 1-3 screens the "home key" screen will be the screen to the far right. If you have 4-7 screens it will be the 4th screen from the left. Odd I know but true. So the only way to have your "home key" Screen to be the middle screen is to have 7 screens which is what I now have.. 4 of which I am not even using. I am hoping this gets changed in an update so that you can actually select which screen you want to be your home screen.
You can easily move the panels around when you go to edit them. An option to quickly pick the home screen would be cool.
Here is what I do:
1. Menu , Edit.
2. Remove panels I do not want by pressing the red minus button.
3. Menu, Save
4. Press the home button. Make a mental note of which panel I was taken to.
5. Menu , Edit
6. Find the panel that I want to be my home screen, drag down then to the right of the panel that is the current home screen. *It will not always be to the right, position depends on the number of panels.
7. Menu, Save.
That's it.

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.

Change lock screen image??

How in the world can I change this image? Every app is only allowing me to change the home screen.
While I use Nova as my launcher...I believe it's the same for the default launcher...long press on the home screen, choose wallpaper, select the one you want and make sure it is used for both lock screen and home screen.
With the Home Launcher when you press on the home screen and select wallpaper, the image of your home screen appears above the selections but if you swipe slightly to the right the lock screen will appear and you will be able to change that one separately
Thanks!! I never realized the swipe was there.
