3 instead of 4 columns - G1 General

Is there a tip or trick to have 3 instead of 4 rows of icons?

You don't put anything in the 4th row?

Lol true but it wouldnt be aligned properly.

Wait... I get it now... Why would you want this and how is it not aligned properly? o.o

On the home screen or in the app drawer?

You have to edit the launcher. Maybe a hex edit would be enough, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to edit it from source instead. What is it you want three rows of? The "desktop" or the app drawer?

I'm pretty sure if he want's three columns in th app drawer, advanced launcher will do this.

ADW screens

Is there a way to add more panels to the home screen?...I could use 2 more....I looked under ADW settings and did not see the option. Thanks....

I think the max is 7. Were you looking for more? You can have 1-7 under ADW's settings.
For me, I've actually been doing fewer screens. I prefer to fit more in less screens. Less flipping around that way.
There are several apps that let you fit more apps into less space via clever widgets. I use FolderOrganizer the most; and Multicon and a few others.
ADW changed the way you manage screens. It's no longer just a 'setting'.
launch the screen preview (usually set on the home button) and then hit the menu button. You can then add or edit your screens. It's a bit of a complicated interface, but allows for moving screens (say you want to move your right-most screen over to the left most spot, etc), deleting screens, adding screens, and setting which one is the 'home' or default.
Yeah I figured it out last night.... Its under the EDIT heading...Slowly figuring this out Is there a way to modify the Framework.res or a similar file to get the stock 2.2 cube 3d app window in ADW? Not a requirement, but would be cool. Working on theming and want to make that a part of my theme

You would not edit the framework for that... you would edit the ADW .apk. Everything that you see on your home screen is in ADW.Launcher .apk. Unless.. you're not using ADW of course.
Ok. Just decompile the ADW.apk and find the that screens info and replace with 2.2 3d? Any help is appreciated. I'm learning this stuff

[POLL] Vote for your favorite version of TouchWizGTG (for the next release)

So here's the deal. I'm considering creating a new version of TouchWizGTG (with JPX TW launcher or newer as a base) sometime in the next three weeks since I'll be on vacation. HOWEVER, I will NOT be creating a million different versions to please everyone this time. Sorry, but creating all of those different versions and testing each one for each release was extremely tedious and it made me lose interest in the project.
Vote on your favorite feature set and I will create the TWO that have the most votes plus one of my choosing if it's different than the other two.
If you have no clue what TouchWizGTG is, click here.
Explanation of options:
Old dock: The stock TouchWiz launcher 4 icon dock.
New dock: A redesigned dock with 5 icons and the apps icon in the center. Look at the other thread for screenshots.
Icon backdrops: The stock TouchWiz launcher has colored squares behind the icons. Do you want these or not?
16-bit mode: If enabled, this draws widgets and the dock background in 16-bit color, which provides a noticeable improvement in speed/smoothness, but causes a small amount of color banding on the widgets and dock background. For comparison, LauncherPro uses 16-bit rendering while the stock TouchWiz launcher does not.
Landscape: Self explanitory. Do you want the launcher to be able to rotate into landscape mode or not?
If I could humbly add one feature request: make the Home button open the flyover previews like on most other launchers

I will look into that, but it will be hard considering I don't have the source code and I'm modifying via xml and smali edits.

Understood there are certainly things you cant do without source. But if you can I will be ecstatic!

Hello gtg465x...
first, thanks for your futur new version of TW
and second, why not make a version with a parameters page to select different options? I saw on the forum that someone had already done...
Hi,
There was a bug that I reported in the current launcher that was when I pressed home button in desktop the launcher crashed. It was a nullreferenceexception. Could you please correct it in the new version? Thanks and good work!

samsung said that the source codes 4 JPX will be out on 22/12
I love the 5 dock version and landscape mod is cool, but if you dont make one its no biggie.
But the No. 1 reason i use TouchWizGTG is because i lose the colored icon backgrounds.
New Dock
Coloured icon backdrops
No 16 bit
Landscape enabled
Notification bubbles
Pretty please

Notification bubbles will be a nice addon for this new touchwiz. Thank alot Gtg465x, been using your touchwiz since I come across it. Btw, can we keep the numbering in those white dots for the touchwiz's homescreen which was missing in your first version?
Thank once again ^^.
You should make only 2 version.
One with colored icon backdrops and the other without!
Both with New dock, 16-bit enabled, Landscape enabled
bye!
+1 for the notification bubbles.
Was a much missed function from the last versions.
Erm hide the notification bar too?
I feel the current TWLauncher is already smooth, hence 16 bit may be irrelevant. Of course, ymmv.

A SettingsActivity would be nice..
For example 16bit mode could be easily controled over that.

I might be able to have a settings page for 16-bit mode, but probably not for the dock style, icon backdrops, and landscape mode. If I do make a settings page though, I should be able to put in options to set the number of rows and columns.

[Q] More icons with 200 or less LCD density?

So I use that popular LCD changer that most of you use, and set it to 200... or 190. BUT... no matter what it won't let me use the extra space to relocate and use more icons, on either the desktop or the apparently pages. There's enough room for lots more icons per page, but my Tab thinks there isn't and keeps snapping them back to where the original density would limit them to.
???
Is this a limitation of the OEM launcher system? Which reminds me... is there a way to replace the Samsung browser icon on the launcher (to the right of the Alps button) with, say, Dolphin or Firefox?
Think there's already a thread on this I think.
Anyway, changing the density will not change the layout of the home screen (lower dpi wont add an extra column) unless you manually change it with LP/ADW or whatever other home app you use.
And do you mean you want to change the shortcut? Longpress as you do with any other.

if you had used the LCD Density program you would know what he was talking about. thats an idea dont you think?
What he's saying is this:
LCD Density makes things smaller and on the desktop it appears to give more room for more icons however that room / space is not usable at all.
You can use launcherpro to make more icons on the launcher
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Launcher pro replaces the OEM one... can't the OEM launcher be used to do what I want?
I don't think there is anyway to do that in the stock launcher.
You need to use either ADW launcher or launcher pro.
I recommend ADW.
Oh btw if all you want to do is have more icons on the launcher you need not use LCD density changer.
Sent from my GT-P1000R using XDA App
i use lcd density changer and also adw ex (paid for version of adw). density at 180 and have 10 icons per row and 10 per column... fits the screen perfect and is just right for me.

What bit of my post have you ignored? The middle bit?
That's what I said. Changing the density will not change the layout of the desktop. It wont give you more rows because that's not what it does. It makes the phone think the screen is larger thus makes everything smaller.
Sent from my GT-P1000
Having all of those icons and rows must be an editable option that comes with the paid version of ADW. I can't get more than 4 icons across and 4 down with free ADW and 180 lcd.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab, running smooth on Roto-JMC!
In the free version you should be able to change rows and columns under screen prefs in adw settings
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Thanks, but the only options or any type of settings I see for the free version of ADW are the "Launcher Actions" when you long press the home screen (or other any of the adjoining screens). I'm sure you already know but these are just shortcuts for ADW actions. I suppose I will check out the paid version.

You press menu>more>ADW Settings then scroll to Desktop Rows/Columns.

more columns and rows on the home

hello all
have a look at the attached screenshot. i decreased the screensize (smaller). now i can just use the space like for the standard screensize. i tried some apps already but with no app i can use the full space
i prefer have rather 1 home screen with all what i want as having 5 home screens
any hints so far
thanks
Try Launcher Pro from the app store to change from the default home launcher...in the options you can specify how many columns and rows your home screen(s) have, so that you can fill up all that unused space with icons if you wish.
You can't fill it because the launcher doesn't think they're there. The stock launcher is 5x5. Decreasing the density doesn't give you more rows&columns.

you might be interested of this. Laungh-X Pro is the solution!
hello ovigt
thank you for the name of the software.
i will try it
i found awd launcher yesterday. and it fulfill the wishes
as you can see in the screen 8x6 icons. if i place a bigger icon (like the watch - 2 icon size) it still allow me to put some next to it.
do they have a trial version ?
i mean - the 1.8 are not the problem - if that tool is what i am looking for. it needs to be smooth with movements, not a battery killer and easy to handle.
thank you

Thanks for pointing to that, but I remember trying that, but unfortunately it doesn't offer 5 rows in the home screen. I only need stock default with 5 rows in the home screen.
Sorry, my question should have been more clear
