Click a home screen folder to launch an app, then click the back button to leave the app. The home screen folder stays open thus making you hit the back button again to close it. Is this a new "feature" to touchwiz on the Note 7 or was it also like this on the Note 5? I am coming from the Note 4 and the folder would always be closed when exiting an app. It is pretty annoying and is making you click the back button an extra time once left the app.
Is there a fix or work around for this annoying folder staying open ?

Anyone know how to move folders and apps from one Home screen to another. After my 2.1 updated software, the new home screen now contains more screens. At present I am using ADW.LAUNCHER. It is great but I thought a change. ADW has its own settings button and I can restore all my settings on that! I want to move all!!![/
The normal long click and drag sideways doesn't work ?

I just got my tf and am loving it! One thing Icant figure out is how to exit programs. I can go to the icon that looks like tow screens and that pulls up all of my open programs. I have notice sme have an exit button and some don't ( like YouTube) is there a way to exit programhat don't have a exit button in their menu?
Thanks
home button
only in windows you need to exit/close, android manages programs a little different but that is a topic that has been beat down to the ground.
You can back out of an application to the point it actually closes, the home screen leaves it cached under the assumption you may go back.
One thing to note is that even if you do close an app completely it will still show up in that app switching window. That is a list of recent apps, not what is active. Its assumed that recent apps were cached so its for quickly switching back to things you had open before.
Thanks, this makes sense
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.
I have Pixel 3a running Android 10.
I can create new home screen panel by moving application shortcuts to the right of rightmost existing panel. However, I can't move them to the left of the "main" panel (when I say "main" I mean the one to which you navigate by pressing "Home" button).
Is it possible to do in Android 10? The panel to the left of the main one used to have Google News, I turned it off but can't place anything else there.
I am coming from old phone running Android 4.2 and there it was possible. "Main" panel was in the middle and I could create new panels on either side.
yes. you just need to create 3 screens and have your main home screen be the middle screen. then from the middle screen you can move left or right. not sure if thats what you want though cause you are correct that they only get created to the right.

I don't think this is what I want because if I click "Home" button I am always brought to the leftmost panel. I updated my OP to be clearer on what I mean.
ok. but when i create the 3 screens and press home it navigates to the middle screen. so i do have a screen to the left and right of the home. thing is i'm using the nova launcher so that's probably it. i guess you're using pixel launcher? might want to search for pixel launcher apps that change the function.

Yes, I am using Pixel launcher.
Apparently the Dec Android update brings gestures to third party launchers which is been a missing element up until now. Once you take the update, you may want to try out Nova Launcher or another third party launcher to achieve what you are looking for. I know I had to stop using Nova on Android 10 because I wanted to use gesture navigation. Now that Google is allowing gesture navigation on third party launchers, I'm sure I'll go back to Nova. I really miss the app draw folders!
But you can definitely add as many screen as you want and even reset the "home" screen easily using Nova. So if you want one screen to the left, then home screen, then a screen to the right - that will be no problem using Nova. In fact you can turn on the infinite swipe feature where the home screens won't ever hit a hard "end" but keep flowing when swiped. So if you have three home screens and swipe right from the third screen you will flow from 3 -> 2 -> 1 ->3 ->2 ->1 etc etc etc. But anytime you press the home button, you can set it to be taken to the middle screen.
Hi,
I noticed when you launch an app from a folder, and you swipe up to go to home, you are sent back to the folder where the app was launched. Is there a way to go straight to home instead?
apparently it looks like there isnt a way to change this. Its kinda annoying that u have to swipe twice to go home
