My son was trying to help me work the camera, in the process of doing so, a pop p came up askin if he wanted to view open in 2 choices of ways (I forget the ways) but one way involved something with the letters 'tw'...he clicked something and now all my apps are on one page instead of 3 or 4 pages like I wanted it to be. My apps are now on one screen and I have to scroll up to get them...I HATE THIS AND WANT MY MANY HOME SCREENS BACK! PLZ HELP ME ;~)

Hey thanks for responding but I know how to do that {lol!} There is a way to bring up my missing homepages and missing page of bookmarks! I know I can do this cuz I did it this wkd, problem is I forget how I did it! It has some thing to do with a program used to open something involving something called 'tw' something.....

thanks for trying, i do appreciate it! after talking with my son, we now realize that when the pop-up thing came on asking if we wanted to open the program we were in using the first offered thing or the 2nd offered thing that had 'tw' in it, he clicked on a box that now prevents us from accessing that screen again ;-( i am NOT a happy camper!

Is that the Touch Wiz launcher? I disabled that from settings > Applications > Manage Applications > filter for all apps and scroll all the way down for twlauncher. When I disabled that (pick the option) I got the stock Android menu where the apps all scroll up and down and not right and left. Not sure how to turn it back on as I haven't wanted to and not that familiar with Android yet.

Touchwiz comes pre-installed on the phone. Watch the video and then read the comments. This is copied from the comments below the video and its the one you need to follow:

@billydmac10 To switch back, perform the same operation, but clear the defaults for the "Home" application. Now choose "TwLauncher" as your default home-button launcher.
