Am at a loss as :( to how to add or pin programmes to the three home screens that the FT3 has can anyone shed any light on this as I cant find it?

TIA
 
If you are still on your stock browser when on the home screen you press menu and choose add widget, then select the widget you are looking for. From the app dock you press menu and select add app if an app you have installed is not showing.

On Tim's rom you can press you can press or hold on any blank area of the screen then choose from the menu that pops up. You can add widgets or apps to the home screen. Or you can open the app dock and just press and hold the app you want on the home screen and it will create a shortcut on the home screen you last had active.
 
Or when you are in the apps drawer/folder, long press on any app you can see and it will drop on your home screen.

See on my stock ROM it won't do this. The only ones I have gotten it to work on are the ones that claim to be stock, but if you dig, they are actually Tim's stripped down to stock apps. Or worse, they don't even try to hide it but claim them to be original.

I think you will find that the disco tablets are now being supplied with Tims firmware straight from the 'factories' so it is actually 'stock'...but you are right in that the older 'stock' firmware would not allow long press to install icons on the home screens when using the InfoTM Home launcher
