Hello users this is probably a very simple fix but I can't find a way to fix this. When you swipe down on the screen with two fingers you get the menus where you can change the brightness and go into the WiFi etc. In the top left corner is your name and a picture I want to change that picture and when I press it it comes up with my google plus profile I have changed my picture on there but it doesn't seem to change in this menu. I have included a picture because I don't know the name of this menu cheers guys :angel:
the picture comes from g+. change your profile image there and it should change(after a reboot or signing out then back into your account).

2 quick questions, they might be something simple sorry but I dont know how to get this to work.
1) How do you unlock your phone without the stylus? I know if you hold the end call key for 3 secs it locks it but I want to unlock the phone without the stylus. I hate ejecting it so the power goes on and then I can slide my finger on the "Lock Icon" left or right to unlock the phone.
2) How do you change the "Lock" Icon mapping? By that I mean its located at the top and I would like to move it to the bottom or middle. Once somehow automatically it was located in the middle and then I rebooted my phone and it went back to the top again.
I don't understand question 1 are you saying you take the styles out to turn the phone on? why don't you use the power button at the top? Then use your finger when it turns on to unlock it. I will admit i don't use the lock fetcher
But i think i understand the second question to move it to the bottom, go to start/setting/today/Items this will have a list of "icons" you have on the main screen select the Device Lock and move it to the bottom of the list. this should move it to the bottom and you are done.
1) you can unlock your phone without pulling your stylus out. press the power button to turn the screen on and then press unlock on the bottom left softkey followed by the confirmation on the center right side of the screen.
on the otherhand what you're asking for is called S2U (slide to unlock) which is an app the mimicks the iphone's lock interface
2) what mapping are you talking about? on the tf3d where the app tab is at? if so, then you just move it by using diamond tf3d tweak OR manually deleting the app and relocating it to where you want it.
Cool thanks for the help on question 1 I didnt know that.
For question 2 the same thing, do you know when the phone is locked and you have that icon that you have to slide left or right so that you can access the main menu on your phone (has the time, contacts, view messages, email etc.). That little bar that reads slide and has a padlock icon in the middle of it. That little button I want to reallign it in the screen. It happened once but I didnt press or change anything for it to happen, it just did.
Bump .
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.

Wow, LauncherPro just keeps sounding better and better.
Here are a few things I learned today while trawling the net instead of working. I'll just quote some of the good ones here:

---The search/home buttons have separate "long press" functions.
long press on Home gives you a list of running (or recently running) apps, and long press on Search brings up your voice search (if you have it).
---Android doesn't have a speed dial list. Instead it has a favorites list. To add a contact to the favorites list:
Go to contacts and touch the star in the upper right hand corner. When it is lit up, the contact is now part of your favorites list.
---If you want to add custom notification ringtones for your emails, sms/mms, ect., plug your phone into your computer, access the SD card, create a new folder on the card called "notifications", and drop the ringtones you want to use into the folder. When the phone is unplugged from the computer, the phone will be able to use the new tones.
---To watch youtube videos in High Quality, start the video, press settings, and click on "watch in high quality
---you can also add the contact on your home screen by touching on the home screen and hold then a menu will pop up click shortcuts then pick a contact from there works great
---While on the web, if you wanna save a picture (for wallpaper purposes or whatever). You have to hold your finger over the picture and the "save picture" message will come up.
---On the virtual keyboards if you long press any button with "..." next to the letter or number it will bring up another list of options.
---Save album art images for music as folder.jpg or albumart.jpg to keep them from showing up in your gallery. also store mp3 ringtones in: /sdcard/media/ringtones to keep them from showing up in your music database.
---You can use the barcode app to share contacts, bookmarks, etc...
open Barcode, press menu button, select share
---To forward a text message press and hold the screen on the text message to bring up options lock message, forward, delete, copy, or call contact.

---Keyboard shortcuts:
go to Settings > Applications > Quick Launch to view and set keyboard shortcuts.

helpful to me, i don't know whether is useful to you or not?
hope helpful to you.
I'm new to the android world, so I actually did learn a thing or two from your post. So thanks OP.
My Note 10.1 is new with up to date software.
On the Home screen I want to remove two unrequired blank pages. If I select one of these pages and then open the Menu/edit I see only one options - that is to CANCEL (an 'X'). Pressing this just clears the dialogue box! Hence there seems to be no 'edit' functions whatsoever. So how can the unrequired page be deleted or even reordered.
I'm sure there is a simple answer but I cannot find it by searching either these pages or perusing the user manual.
Pinch the home screen down to minimize then delete the ones you dont need or add more

Sounds like you are touching the Google search button when you are pinching, try it in the middle of a blank page.

When you pinch in all your desktop screens should appear.........
You then touch the one you want to delete and in one motion drag it to the top where it says delete.

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.
