Guest Pidun14 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 After update to B888 there were 7 home screens, but when I applied vendor update this number was reduced to 5. Is there any simple way to add 2 home screens without running additional laucher etc.? Maybe it could be possible to edit some system file / setting?

Guest Frankish Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Nope. Just have to run a different launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nesli Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Recommendation: Use launcher pro, it is much faster with many options than crappy s****y huawei launcher ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Recommendation: Use launcher pro, it is much faster with many options than crappy s****y huawei launcher ;) i agree with you there.....just need LP to get this "Upgrade/rewrite"...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I seem to get phone lags when using a different launcher. Go launcher has been good for me so far but its quite a large program if you start downloading some add on features. Most others have caused some lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pidun14 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is it required to remove huawei launcher (how?) or simply launcher pro will take it's place after installation? I'm newbie trying to learn as much as possible about android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm newbie trying to learn as much as possible about android. You don't need to remove original launcher, when you reboot phone you should get the option to pick the launcher you want to use.

My 888 has an option for the HW launcher to add/remove homescreens. On any homescreen press Menu-> Home Settings-> Advanced settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have no home settings option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pidun14 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I checked settings options before asking here and found no such option. It looks like LauncherPro consumes more power than Huawei launcher. Oh well, you can not have it all :) Edited May 23, 2012 by Pidun14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 from home screen hit menu button. then press home settings then advanced settings then screen number. You can set 7 there on B888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pidun14 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 As written above - there is no such menu option in my G300...... ROM B888 and installed vendor files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think its only there before installing vendor files. So its pretty pointless ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I didn't install vendor files as they aren't really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nek4d Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Hello, I have a new G300 for 2 days now and have been discovering its limits. Thought to register here for the valuable info that I found and for correcting a couple of wrong assumptions mentioned. One is here and please let me know if that works for you too: I have seen it somewhere and it worked for me both with the initial stock 2.3 android and with the new 4.03 official OTA update. Surprisingly enough, I have seen many reviews and even youtube videos that claim that only 5 screens are possible... Just use 2 fingers together to "squeeze" one home screen (I think "pinch" is the right word, english is not my native language, pls forgive) and a screen will appear with all home screens minimised. There you find another minimised screen with a "+" symbol, just press it and voila! Another home screen is added :-) I have 7 home screens.

Guest ezpc98 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks Nek4d;-) You are a star! Can confirm it did worked on my G300 on stock ICS. For some reason home screen were reduced to only 2 and couldn't figure out what to do but you have rescued me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
