Default Anyway To Disable Screens/?

Is it Possible to disable multiple home screens?

From the above thread: "Is it possible to disable the media, favorites, downloads and frequents home screens on OS6. I use 6.0 on a 9650 bold and it always seems to move around. Anyway I can just kill them? I have searched but can't find anything."

Has anything changed since that was posted last year or are we still suck with this crap?

Find a theme that removes the extra panels. I heartily recommend Leebo.

[FREE] leebo theme ported to OS 6

As a matter of fact, I have over 250 themes for the 9650 on OS6 and almost all of them do away with the trays. Many of them are FREE as well. Just look for themes that are NOT default OS6 style and you will be rid of trays forever! (Until you upgrade your phone...lol)

No, without going back to OS5 or using a theme, you cannot diasble the trays. The BB7 OS added the ability to do what you want, but that is not avilable for the Bold 9650.

Yep, agree with all the above.

But funny thing is I hated panes in OS6 on the 9650. But Man I use them all the time on OS7. Maybe it's the touch that seems to work better.

Does anybody know of a theme that is exactly like OS6 just without the panes? I don't like most of the themes I've seen so far, but I can't seem to find one that resembles normal OS6 without the panes.

John, it's the control. Much easier to swipe the touchscreen and have it slide only once. WAY too easy to overscroll with the touchpad and skip multiple panels. I only use All and Media, but like it on 7 with my 9900 much more. On 6, I used Leebo to get rid of them.

Send jaydee a PM, she tests themes, I'm sure she could recommend some good ones for you. She's found several for me.

I've neverhad that problem, I like the trays on BB6. I just swipe back and forth to get the icon I'm looking for. I rarely open any of the trays, unless I'm looking for the Setup app.

Pcgizmo, a lot of people complained about the sensisivity. It does depend on individual trackpad settings (mine were 80/80) and it varies from person to person. It was only annoying to me over time, it happened to me just enough to **** me off after awhile. some folks hated it straight away.

How about reducing side to side trackpad sensitivity?

I've never adjusted the trackpad sensitivity, I always left it at whatever the default is. I think I've installed 12 different OS's and a few hybrids now.
