if you are talking about reorganizing your app icons in the home screen pages,
hold down an icon on the page, press down on a blank space or pinch your fingers anywhere, entering 'Edit Mode' like normally.
select any app at first, then you can manually select all the other icons by just tapping them.
the icons will then show a little blue confirmation dot on its top left corners. after those are selected, simply press down on one and move them from one page to another
thats how you move multiple apps at once in your home screen

If you are trying to rearrange your icons there's a few ways.
If you are rooted you could modify the database representing the icon locations then restart the launcher.

It's a specific phone's launcher -- here: the MIUI launcher - related issue: take note that Xiaomi’ MIUI are among the heaviest modified versions of Android.

Info only:
The MIUI 13 launcher settings database is stored in the launcher's data folder, which can be accessed using a file manager app. The exact location of the data folder may vary depending on the version of MIUI 13 is running. However, it can typically be found by navigating to the following path: /data/data/com.mi.android.globallauncher/databases.

Do not know how to view and modify app_icons.db
And not easy to Root RN11 Pro because there is no official TWRP and each time I make a rom update, I have to reinstall TWRP thanks ADB, use Magisk and extract boot.img in order to Magisk it and after reinstall magisk_boot.img with ADB

Force dialer to default to favorites

Anyone know if there is a way to do this with stock app?
When i hit phone, it is annoying to always be on the dialer screen. Yes, I can speed dial a couple contacts, but I have a favorites list of 20 or so, and I would like to land there first.
Any ideas other then an alternate launcher? Would an alternate launcher even do this?
That was a nice feature of the iPhone. 99% of the time I am calling 1 of the people on my favorites list as well, this would be nice if it was possible.
I do not know if it is or not.
Would also appreciate this setting.
A work around that might be useful:
From your home screen find a screen that is fairly empty and long press like you are adding a widget. Select "Shortcuts" then select "Direct Dial" Choose someone from your contacts list. You now have a direct dial shortcut to that contact on your screen.

I actually did that. I even made my own icon that matched the Launcher Pro icons and added it to my dock. It direct dials my best friend.

Not a bad idea but not really a solution/work around for a shortcut to your top 10-20+ favorites.
I agree - not a good solution if you have many on a fav list. For a 2 or 3 I just use speed dial from the dialer.
Has anyone tried Dialer One?
(from the thread looking for an alternate dialer) I'm too new they don't trust me with linking to it.
Another possible alternative is to add a Folder Widget end select "Starred Contacts" from the list.

What app do you use to grab a screen shot?
Regarding Screen Cap:
If you are rooted there is a market app. Another way is to use the ddms.bat tool that is in the SDK - it launches the Dalvik Debug Monitor on your computer and this can do a screen cap (Menu - Device - Screen Cap)

no app when I took that. It was using the android sdk to do it. Guide on how to do it is found here: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/21/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-windows/
Launcher Pro ( the paid version ) also has a favorites widget that will let you configure either full screen or 1x4.
Why not just use dialer one? You can do exactly this with dialer one + you can do so much more, like custom backgrounds and change all the text colors etc.
I just added the folder of starred contacts. Really nice, actually.

My Top Apps is an app that helps you take control of the apps you have on your device.
We all know that once you have lots of apps, it could be very frustrating looking for your favorite apps all the time, or constantly reorganizing your home page to have your most used apps.
This app is all about making your life easier by adapting your apps use habits and organize your apps by its usage.
My Top Apps monitors the apps that you use and provides quick access to the apps you used recently, most used apps or the apps that you use for the longest duration.
My Top Apps offers a launcher-style view, details view or a timeline view of the apps you use, and a set of widgets so you will never have to customize your home page with your favorite apps.
The app is available for download on the Android market or AppBrain.
Detailed user guide is available here.
nice app to add to your portfolio. i've downloaded it and giving it a try. i like the ignore apps feature with MRU, keeps my handy apps even handier. i might just have to get rid of my folders now, i'll be sure to leave an appropriate rating in about a week.
just for my sake, LRU is only based on last use; MRU is based on the number of uses; and Pro gets an additional ordering based on total time used. is this correct?
edit: sorry, missed the link to your blog, which covers that question clearly.. thanks

[Q]Titanium backup and frozen apps ?

Hey, I know there is a way to make a list of frozen applications in titanium backup, so that when you restore all your apps after a Reset/Rom, you can have titaniumbackup freeze those applications again.
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/tit...al-faq.html#save-a-list-of-apps-for-later-use
However, the instructions seem to be for an older version of titanium backup. I cant seem to figure out how to do this with the current titanium backup release. Has anybody got any tips or advice ?
Ive waited quite some time for this bump. Nobody ? : (
What part of the tutorial do you have difficulty with? Filtering? Instead of pressing menu now you press the upper right checkmark.
Then the rest is pretty similar.
Edit: Oh and you would have had more chance not being in a Nexus S subforum, since this has nothing to do with the Nexus S per se.

What subforum would you suggest ? Possibly the general android Q&A subforum ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1236
Or would the software and hacking subforum be more appropriate ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
The issue I have is, for me to get to the filter list, I need to go to the "backup/restore" tab on titanium backup, and then click the header that says "click to edit filters".
Upon clicking that, I can select ""Frozen" to show only my frozen apps. The issue I Have is with the next step :
Create a label containing frozen apps: Now hit MENU -> Filters -> Create label -> Add/remove elements -> Select shown elements -> OK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hitting MENU does nothing, However, there is an option to create a label :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, then, following the instructions, I click the Add/remove elements Button
Then, upon coming to this screen, I click "select shown elements" ..
So then, I change the name, and save the label:
However, what I dont get is, if I were to wipe out my phone, and re-install all the apps with titanium backup, where would the label go ? Is there any way to copy the labels to another phone ?
Assuming all goes well, and I wipe my phone and restore it, I assume the procedure be:
1 - load the label on titanium backup
2 - The app list would load all the apps, but they would be defrosted
3 - Click the tick in the top right
4 - Select "freeze all system and user apps"
And then it should only freeze the apps on the list. Are my assumptions correct ?
EDIT : Assuming this is correct, should I forward this thread to the titanium track guys, and suggest them updating their instructions ?

[Q] Disabling the Multi-Window button GN10.1

I've tried searching for this but only found stuff in the SGN2 forums.
Is there anyway to disable/move the Multi-Window button? This button is making some of my applications considerably more difficult to use since it blocks functionality partially in some apps.
Yeah hold done back button to disable.. also you can just drag and drop the icon.. so you can have it where you like it!!

I've just tried this. The back button method doesn't work and the button is not draggable. I had been trying to avoid flashing, but looks like I might have to.
Is there really no way? That multi windows button is pretty annoying, and I never use multiwindows. That zip merely makes it translucent but I guess it will have to do. =/

If you have a custom recovery installed then you can follow JamMasterClay's instructions in this thread.
However, the icon replacements he offered were not quite what I wanted since I wanted to remove the button completely. So, I just downloaded one of the button mods that he has available and extracted the zip, replaced the two png files with the two originally posted by heavylildude in this thread and created a new zip archive. Then used the newly created archive as per JamMasterClay's instructions. The floating cascade window is now gone from my apps (you do lose the functionality, but it's worth the trade off in my opinion, but you probably do want to back up the undo zip in case you ever want it back).
There may be an easier way to do this, but I wasn't sure if you could just copy the two png files directly into the apk.

If you are running the latest ParanoidAndroid ROM, you can get PIE Control, a new way of accessing your home buttons.
Now, the good news is that you don’t need to install ParanoidAndroid ROM to get this feature. You can install LMT l app on Ur Superfone CANVAS 2 device and also even customize the buttons (up to 10 buttons + another 10 for long-press on the buttons).
Step 1. So, let’s get to it. First, you will need a rooted Android smartphone or tablet.
Step 2. Next, download thef LMT APP . Then install it .
Step 3. Open the LMT app, and hit “Start/Stop TouchService” to start the LMT launcher.
Also, you can set “Autostart TouchService” to value 1 if you want it to start when your phone/tablet reboots.
Step 4. Test your new PIE control by swiping from the center right-side edge of your screen.
Step 5. You can change the color of your new PIE control in Settings under “Pie Colors”.
Step 6. Also, the PIE Control defaults to the right side of the screen, you can also activate it for left side of the screen (for left handers), bottom of the screen, or even have it activated for left, right, and bottom.
Step 7. Next, you can customize the PIE Control buttons any way you like by going to PIE Settings and setting them up to 10 buttons and also 10 longpresses.
Step 8. When you add an app, you might not see the logo of the app.
Step 9. Simply set “Show app images” in settings to 1 or 2 to make it show app logo.
Step 10. If you set all of your buttons, you should see a nice PIE Control with 10 shortcuts!
