I'm baffled how I deleted the stock home screen widget(circle with weather, battery percentage etc..) how do I get it back ? what am I overlooking ? I've searched the whole phone and cant find it. Thanks.
 
You deleted the stock home screen widget. Well I have five screens set HP to swipe through. I have stuff on on five. Today was a blank sixth. Couldn't figure out why I had it or how it got there. But I drug a random widget to it, deleted the widget, and the sixth screen disappeared. It was very, very odd.

EDIT: in fact it just did it again! Weird.

By design.
 
By design? How so? I've always kept it at 5 and I think I had to add the ones to get it to five.

If you drag an icon or widget to the right of the right most home screen it will create a new one to the right, presumably indefinitely (though I'm sure there is a limit.) That's the way they launcher was designed - it's not limited to a specific number of home screens. Also, when you remove the last icon or widget from a home screen, the home screen itself is deleted.

The thing is, I never did anything to add a new one. It just randomly appears lol. I mean, it's not a big deal, but just one of those weird things I noticed today. :p

And FYI I quit at 24 additional screens which had me at 29 total with my base five. Why someone would need that many screens, who knows lol.
 
There is no "base 5" with the launcher. It has either one or two to start (I don't recall which) and more are added as you add icons or widgets by dragging them to the screen that is currently the right most screen.

no, I disabled a widget on the home screen, thats why I couldnt find it anywhere.

To clarify, my personal base five. (I can see how that comment could be misread.) I have five set up that I use. I know the stock out of the box launcher comes with less because I had to figure out how to add more quickly (not hard) but I still wish the home button took you to the middle one (or closest to middle if even number) rather than to the far left. Oh well, 'tis but a minor complaint that two quick swipes resolves quicker than me typing this. :)
