ZTE BLADE S6 Blank home screen removal? - ZTE Blade S6 Questions & Answers

Hey guys. Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I have a ZTE Blade s6 and I have two blank screens on the home screen (to the right and the left)
Is there any way to remove them? I've tried holding down the screen (which brings me to options for wallpapers) and the pinch method which works on most other androids but nothing seems to be working.
Any tips/suggestions?

Is there any way to access home screen panels directly instead of swiping?

I upgraded from Galaxy S3 to S6 (SM-G920F). I'm running it with the WanamLite Rom, which by the way I find very cool.
On my S3 I was able to access a specific home screen panel directly by tapping the corresponding dot in the home screen. On the S6 it seems this is not possible anymore and you are forced to swipe. Is there any way (setting/mod/customization) to have the home screen panel dots to behave as they used to?
Nova Launcher allows quick access to home screen.
I'm using latest & registered version of Nova on all my gadgets. I prefer the very customized screens that i allows.

[Completed] Long press menu on home screen not working - android 5.1 Cube t8 plus

Hi,
I have a Cube t8 plus running Android 5.1
After a few days of use the menu on home screen that comes up after a long press is not working.
All that happens is a white / grey translucent square nearly the full size of the screen appears whilst the screen is pressed - no widget menu etc - this disappears after the screen is pressed again.
I have un-installed all the apps I had installed, and returned any settings I had changed but still have the same problem.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Many thanks in advance..

Any good alternatives to using the power button to lock device?

I find this phone great, the only thing that is bugging me is the position of the power button. It's so far up the right hand side I find it a pain to reach to (I always hold phone in my left hand). I would lock my old phone by using a gesture through Nova Launcher, but (I think because of a newer Android version) it is no longer possible to do that properly. It can only be done so that the phone is "Admin locked" and requires the pin to unlock (not face/fingerprint), or to turn the display black until it times out (which is supposed to be for 5 seconds but for some reason it takes the full normal timeout of 1 min).
Does anyone know of a way to lock the phone properly using anything other than the power button? (without root)
I know LG seem against remapping the assistant button, but one great option they could have would be to be able to swap round the power and assistant buttons
Not the right thread to ask in but you can turn on KnockON in General settings and thereafter double tapping on the notification bar will lock your phone.
Thanks for the tip.
Apologies for posting in the wrong place, I meant to do it in Q&A, somehow I messed up :/

You can also double tap any open space on the home screen to lock the phone. Same with the lock screen. Double tapping anywhere while display is off wakes it.

Locking the home screen with Nova Launcher

Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? Thanks.
