Noob questions about the Bionic

[ts47]

I?m leaving the Droid Charge and am setting up my new Bionic. Could someone answer 3 questions for me?

1. How do you change the number of screens?
2. The Bionic has fewer font size/style options than the Charge. Is there a way to change that?
3. Choose the Dialer>and either Recent, Contacts or Favorites. Now close the Dialer and choose it again. By default, it will open to either Recent, Contacts or Favorites instead of the Dialer. Is there a way to MAKE IT default to the dialer? I know it?s kind of an odd question. Just trying to reduce the number of buttons I'm pushing.

Please forgive the noob questions and Thanks for the help!

I'll start this by saying that I've had a Bionic for a week, so I may have missed something, but I've owned an Android phone for a couple of years.

1. How do you change the number of screens?

You can't with the default launcher. You can install a replacement launcher app - LauncherPro, ADW, ADW EX, Go launcher, Zeam, etc. Most of them (all of them?) can be configured for a specific number of home screens, or even for multiple docks, etc.

3. Choose the Dialer>and either Recent, Contacts or Favorites. Now close the Dialer and choose it again. By default, it will open to either Recent, Contacts or Favorites instead of the Dialer. Is there a way to MAKE IT default to the dialer?

You can create a new shortcut icon to do this. Long-press on a home screen, press "Shortcuts", tap "Dialer", tap "Dialer" again. You can replace the dock icon with this icon, if you wish, by dragging it into place.

from what I've seen so far:
1) no, unless you get a launcher app (launcher pro will let you have anywhere from 3 to 7)
2) not that I've seen. again you can probably download some fonts or something similar to do that
3) see above post

Thank you! This answers my questions.

AWESOME! You are my hero. I couldn't figure out how to get Dialer to be the default screen when it opened the phone app. thanks!
