How can I customize Home Screen Pages ?

Postby uberNoobZA » Sat Sep 30, 2017 8:41 pm

I've just installed my Android 7.1 Pumpkin unit, and I'm very happy with how easy to was to install, as well as how well it all works.

The interface is functional enough as it is, but it seems to be very limited in how I can configure it. I realize from other posts I cannot add widgets to main home screen, but how can I add widgets to other pages on home screen? Where do I access my widgets? On most launchers, you long press empty space on home screen and then you can access widgets. Not on this unit.

Alternatively, I was thinking of using Nova Launcher, as I use it on all my other Android devices. However, I can't find the Radio widget in Nova. Is this widget ONLY available if I use the default Pumpkin launcher ?

Lastly, as other people have said, if I drag icons to home screen, or change the icons on the 'dock' at bottom of home screen, some of them disappear when I reboot the unit. Is this 'normal' ? If so, it's a very (no offence intended) badly designed launcher - after all, one of hte reaons people like Android is because of it's customization options.

Hi,
you can flash the following firmware to solve the problem that you can not modify the icons on the home screen.

You need to enter into settings--about device -- system update one by one.
Regarding of the problem about the widget. The radio widget and clock widget can not be modified.
You can long press the widge from the widge page and drag it to the home page.

I flashed the update, but it did not make a difference. I am able to change shortcuts on the 'dock' on the home screen, and add icons to other screens, but if I disconnect battery, the icons on the dock are reset. Seems launcher is not saving it's settings properly.

Hi,
yes,the unit will lose some memory if you disconnect the battery.
Why do you need to disconnect the battery ? Usually you just need to switch the ACC off to power down the unit.

Author of Car Launcher Pro just released an update which completely wiped all my customizations and makes hte launcher really unstable, so I've now switched to
