Something minor but very annoying. When I unlock my phone and go to the home screen, it takes a second for the home screen wallpaper to load. I am using the same Xperia image for both the Lock and home screen so it's annoying when it takes a second to load the home screen wallpaper when it's the same one. Anyone know a fix? Thank you.

I use Nova Launcher which lets you cache stuff, although you do lose some stock widgets if you use it.
That same behaviour shows on the Z3 Compact as well. However, as found there, it does not happen with all wallpapers. Some load slower, some come up instantly. I, for one, like the old "Metal Wallpaper" that was available on the Z1 and the Z1C best (no longer there on the Z3 series) and luckily that one loads in no-time. I've attached it (the Z1 full HD version) and you might want to give it a try and check.

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?
Is there a way to configure this? I'd like to set it to the first screen.
actually the center screen
yes u r right. Now how do I set it to #1?
You don't

Isn't the 3rd screen the Home Screen? There are 5 screens in total.
The middle screen is the primary screen. The reason for this is because it is the least distance from all other screens (with a maximum of 2 swipes to any of the 5 screens). There is no way of configuring it in normal honeycomb settings as there is very little reason to other than if you have a background image you want to work well with all your main widgets and launch icons on a specific screen other than the middle one. As for trying something to change it you'd have to wait for ROMs or a launcher replacement with that kind of functionality built in (I am not aware of any with that functionality).
Looks like I will have to swap screens 1 and 3 then Is there a way to select multiple shortcuts and move them in one shot at least?

Nope there isn't.
Running ICS 4.04.
So, I want to know What Exactly is a Lock screen and the difference and the Home screen.
Why and how would you have 1 Screen.
And why are there 5 different screens? how do i make it to have 3 or 4?
Is Go Launcher a app which replaces the Home screen or the lock screen? ? if so how much RAM does it take?
Thank You
A lock screen is the first screen that comes up when you wake up your device, its to help prevent unwanted usage of or device such as pocket dialing. A home screen is where you will have all your apps and widgets. If you have an app such as go launcher or nova launcher, it will replace your stock home screen and allow you to choose different setups. Such as number of home screened or how many icons per screen. I believe they use very little system resources, no more than your stock launcher. Go launcher also has a ton of themes to make look completely different.

To answer unanswered qsns, u can just do a pinch in gesture get an outlook of all the home screens, long press on the one u wanna remove and it will show how to remove. And there are heavy launchers which take a lot of RAM. I don't think go takes a lot. May be around 30-40 mb. (not sure). If u have any lags, then try some other light weight launchers.! And go launcher is a launcher (of course, name says it all), there is go locker associated with go launcher for lockscreen.

Thank You both!! For helping me!
One last question,
Would it be possible to put a lock screen which wakes up, by touching the screen e.g 2-3 presses/tap on the screen or the volume button? rather than the orignal power button?
thank You

If the screen was actively on, touch sensors waiting, it would drain battery.
The volume keys can be configured to turn the phone on with some custom ROMs I believe like cyanogen

Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? Thanks.
maybe an answer can be found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
I am finding unnecessarily difficult to set two different live wallpapers at the same time, one for the lockscreen and one for the home.
When I first applied one it would prompt between home only or home and lock screen. I tested the first option, it worked in separating the lock screen from the home.
Fair enough I thought, I picked the second option to set the lockscreen then, and planned to reapply the second live wallpaper as home only, so I'd be golden.
Except now it's not prompting me that message anymore. It will reapply to both the lock screen and the home without giving me any option.
