Freshly installed nightly on my flame, how can I get apps out of smart collections?

[goto]

I have installed the v4-base image and the newest version of nightly (2015-09-02).
On my homescreen is a "smart collection" which includes phone/messages/contacts/emails. I want these four apps to be directly on my homescreen. How is this possible?
I use the "default home screen", not the "new home screen".

Is "new home screen" going to be new default one in feature releases?

[goto]

After deleting the "social smart collection" and readding it, I can't find these apps in the smart collection anymore. The only way to access my "phone" and "contacts" app is via search, which still lists these apps.

I think this is a bug. I've flashed some builds that had some apps missing from Homescreen but available in Smart Collections. We have a brand new homescreen on the way, I think you may be able to turn it on in 'Settings' -> 'Developer' menu.

Let us know how you get on :)

That's the "new homescreen" mentioned in my initial posting. :)
He isn't in the Developer menu but, but in "Settings" -> "Homescreens" (not "Homescreen"). His look & feel is nice, I also have my phone/message/contacts back again.
Sadly he ignores my "Icon Layout" Settings, which is "Four Columns" and not three. He also doesn't show me my bookmarks on the homescreen.

Yes, the plan is to use this new homescreen in 2.5, since it will integrate with features of pin-the-web.

You can get the 4 column layout in the new homescreen by pinching :)

Not getting your bookmarks I believe is this bug, which we are looking into currently:

New home screen doesn't have smart collection. 

This is not a bug as far as I know.  Chris Lord can probably better comment.

Smart collections is not part of 2.5  - it has been dropped.

So bookmarks are considered to be a smart collection?

[Naoki Hirata]

Bookmarks are not smart collections.  Bookmarks should still be bookmarks that can be added to the home screen.  Smart collection utilizes a server for web apps.  it's two different things.

my post and the bugzilla-link were about bookmarks not showing up on the new homescreen.

restarted today. now i can see my bookmarks on the new homescreen, even newly added one.

I just want to say I flash and test 2.5 from time to time and I adore the new home screen, I didn't realize you could pinch to get 4 icons in a line but that is very cool. I hope in the final version there will be something explaining that this is possible because I never would have guessed if I didn't see it here!
