Itching Thumb A Must Have

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.

There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

How to call or text someone quickly...

Not sure if everybody knows this..
you can call contacts by swiping to the right on the name in your text message app or in your contact app. To text someone just swipe to the left...thought this is pretty cool and wanted to share...

Goood find I never knew... Any other apps we can dio this in?

This was one of those features that was touted during a demonstration at CTIA 2010 (back in March when the Galaxy S phones were announced) and was apparently never really mentioned afterwards.

That's useful. I always went the long way lol.

Even faster is to dedicate a page in your launcher to quick dial shortcuts. Single press.

x10 2.1 default battery optimiser

there is a small default app which works to save battery..i used it and found it really effective,it summarizes all battery eating stuff in one place.
if you have default 2.1 just go to application "support" and then click on tools and there you will find this battery optimiser
worked good for me,quick way to save juice

In the app drawer there is an app called Support. Once you run it there is a tab called tools. That's where it's at. The icon is a gear with a question mark on it.

yeah it is nothing NEW,all it do is ,it summaraizes all the battery eating stuff at one place,so it becomes really easy for everybody to do everything from there rather than going to millions of settings to do the same,i still have 85% after 12 hours with moderate usage.
.58 baseband
2.1 official
jit v2 and crap apps freezed

I am about to travel abroad, so I won't be able to use mobile internet at all and I really need the extra battery life, as I'm probably going to be wandering around all day!
So today, for testing purposes, I fiddled with the settings from this app, and in the last 12 hours I only lost 20%! That's quite awesome!
It's nice to have those settings gathered together!
Thanks for the find!

hmm, is there any way to get this app back on the phone?

one way for sure, PC Companion and Repair!
And second one would be... gimme moment.... made a Backup of ALL Apps. should finde it here somewhere... *searching*
Nope sorry, just made a Backup from all installed Apps and not Pre installed
P.S Here some Pictures of Battery Optimizer. Just found him out of curiosity 2 weeks ago ^^
Already had only 2 left when i found it ^^

I haven't this either and i just did a re-flash so all the apps are back and no "support" app at all :/

Ok, I found it in the thread of 'all 2.1 system apps'.
Here it is for whoever else wanted it.

Out of interest I tried to install on FreeX10 beta 4, but to no avail. What settings are you able to control? Is it like wifi/2+3G data/blue tooth on/off policies?
It's strange that this is so hard to find in 2.1 because 2.2 is the same way. There are many advanced settings hidden in the power control widget that have increased my battery life with 2.2 far beyond what I got with 2.1 optimized. Not to mention, I haven't come close to going over on my data plan for the first time, and no need to use APNdroid anymore. You would never know they were there if you didn't look for them. I wonder if this "hiding" is an attempt to run up our data plans and encourage battery sales?
@Batman_112, Good to see you made it out of the batcave. Lots been happening while you were away. Welcome back! ( ^o^) lol

I know why it doesnt work on freex10 because its 2.2froyo and the app 2.1 eclair

Very good.
I knew that, but like I said, out of curiosity I tried anyway. Thanks though.
Can you answer my question, since I wasn't able to check it out? What type of additional settings are there? Are they like the ones I described from 2.2?

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.

I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.

I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.

The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?

Can we get swype to work (does it work now? Why haven't I tried before asking this question smh) ?

i have been running it for an hour and I like it so far but It can't be daily driver at the moment..
Most of my favorite games don't work or freeze (my biggest complaint)
asphalt 6 crashes
blood and glory doesnt work
deadspace doesnt work well due to the multi touch issue
street fighter IV crashes
few lags, but the rom is really smooth
camera recording issue (already noted by cm) and few minor bugs (like showing battery percentage in status bar doesn't show) and a few fc's here and there..
I haven't used the GPS for a while but it fine so far.
The CM team is amazing for the awesome rom (cm7 as well) and I am loving it so far...i am definitely donating
I think this rom is more a beta because it only has a few quirks to work out imo

You don't need swype beta. Just download one of the themed swypes in the apps section and flash it. Just make sure you mount system in CWM and unmount when you're done.

Galaxy SIII Annoyances Megathread

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?

App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.
