Default What did I do?

Arranging Icons on the desktop (or whatever the main window is called, sorry, I'm a 'droid rookie) isnt very user friendly. With my iPhone, if I wanted to move an app to a different location, the rest of the icons would get pushed out of the way. Last night, I did something and I was able to get the same results. Today, it's back to not pushing the icons. I'm guessing there is a setting that enables this but I cant seem to find. I did install a myriad of apps last night so maybe one of those enables that functionality?

It's the MotoBlur that allows you to "push" other icons/widgets out of the way because I believe stock Android just wouldn't let you put it somewhere occupied. Are you using a different launcher now? That would keep it from working.

What launcher do you have? If it's the default launcher I'm pretty sure it pushes them outta the way...I'm not sure though. But I have ADW launcher and it's kind of a pain, if I want to move one widget or icon into an other ones place and there's no room, I have to move it to an empty home screen and then slide in the other one...
Oh, and no there is no setting for this...

I have the Go Launcher right now but I may have had a different one last night (I'm working on 2 hours of sleep for the last 48 period so I'm kind of a zombie right now). I just checked the wifes phone and it does push the icons. I did an sbf recovery and reinstalled gingerblur 6.5 yesterday and I think it started working AFTER I installed a launcher but I could be full of it. What that launcher may have been, I have no idea :lol:
