What was LG thinking with the app panel design?

[dnj231]

A 10 second Google search brought me to the Verizon link I posted.

What did you type?

So when you use the app drawer/list whatever you want to call it.....long press an icon you want on your homescreen. Then slightly shift the icon. You should see your home pages, and you can place the app icon where you want.

What ticks me off is that the guys on this thread posting that are supposedly coming from an HTC 10 just know this.

What I wanted to know, more or less.

By default, there's no app screen.

if I remember correctly, out of the box there is no app drawer. To set that up, you have to go to settings, general,home. Select home and apps list. you will now have the app drawer with home screens and every app on phone in the app drawer.
Now you can open the app drawer and long press and slide into home screen any app you want. You can also create more pages this way as well.
I only have 2, can verify you can make 3. Do not know if can make more than that as I have not tried.

When I purchased phone, first thing I did was Google top ten things to do with lg g7 when you open box. Then Google search other things.

Setting up the app drawer was something I didn't have to do on my HTC 10, but, setting up apps the way I want the screens after that was done is exactly the same.

Hope this helps you and you have been able to set up the way you want. It really is a much better phone than the HTC 10 in my experience so far.

Good Luck.

Where did you guys learn this?

From every Android phone ever.

What on Earth is your post about? Nobody understands what you mean by app panel. There is an app drawer setting. Have you used an Android phone before?

When you long press the screen to add widgets, themes, etc in HTC to get another screen it's called a panel. You can't do that directly with this phone, it's just added when necessary.

Ryano89 could tell you that, cause he has owned every Android phone

So I tried the app drawer . Why are there arbitrary sub menus on it? Why can't I just have a complete list? And the circular scrolling is terrible. It makes it more confusing. Lol

Oh really? You can't do that on an HTC 10

Move an app from the app drawer to the homescreen? Yes you can. I apologize, I didn't mean to be so rude with my comment, but I think everyone is having a hard time understanding what you are asking.

Too advanced for the OP.

At this point, sell it and go back to HTC. They could use you.

I honestly can't tell if this is just a fantastic troll job, or if you honestly are just having this hard of a time describing the question you wanted answered, but if your question hasn't been answered to your satisfaction, than I got to assume whatever option you're looking for is proprietary to HTCs "sense".

That was typical for me when I had the G7. Everyone's will be different though.

Holy crap this thread makes my head hurt.

I've owned NUMEROUS Android phones from the OG G1 to my current G7 and all of them had the ability to add apps to the home screens by long pressing on them from the app drawer. It's pretty much a basic feature of android. OP you really are making things too difficult.
