    Lost the ability to edit Home Screens

    I dragged to see the "Toggles/Notification" menu from the top of the screen, then pressed "More", then "Guard" (my phone anyway). Infact, when in "Guard Mode", you will see a symbol that looks like an upturned portcullis symbol. See attached image.

    Back to Vanilla ROM

    I see the guide using MIFLASH, but it says it for only in last ditch situations. If I want to revert back to a level of ROM ie like when I first bought it - straight from the box, whats the best way to achieve this? Thanks.

    Lost the ability to edit Home Screens

    I have deleted from apps (they were chinese market related stuff), and now I appear to have lost the ability to edit my Home Screens. It all may be a coincidence. Pressing the screen does nothing. Is there a way to recover this function (or undo the deletions)? Thanks for your time.
