Hi all,
For those that use touchwiz, how are you guys and girls managing applications order on your application screen (Note not the home screen).
Are there easier way to manage applications and page order without having to individually drag and drop each one?
Thanks.
PS: Wouldn't it be nice if Kies can manage applications on your galaxy S?
I'm using Zeam launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149 Minimalist, clean and it order apps by name
Hey mates,
i have this friend (he's the typical iDork) who keeps annoying me with comments about how ugly he finds my homescreens...
i used to have only one scene (The Sense HD remix scene in minimal grey).
now i'd like to install launcher pro and make it look awesome, custom icons, everything designed as minimal as it gets.
only problem, every time i hit "home" my beloved desire asks me what homescreen it should return to. i know i can make it remember one of the two, but if i want to change then, i'd have to work through the settings and options...
so, here's my request:
a SIMPLE, SEXY WIDGET, that can instantly change the launcher assigned to the home button. i think it's not much work to do, if the API allows apps to change settings (not sure about that).
I'm a C++ programmer with zero experience in java, so i can't do it myself.
finally, i'd like to know how i can mod the launcher pro in the ways seen around on this forum (e.g. Mnml Icons as buttons etc.)
Thanks for your time,
Max
PS: does anyone know a widget for email/sms with a minimal style, such as Cal Widget with transparent background.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > LauncherPro > Clear Defaults.
Do you need a widget for that? ..
this isn't my point
i want to be able to switch between two launchers FAST, so i have, let's say a private and a business launcher, one designed for usability, and the other for style.
i don't want to reassign the home button everytime i want to switch, thats why i wnat a widget, or a shortcut, which i just touch once.
but since it seems like i'm the only person here switching frequently between launchers, i guess i'll have to code something myself.
anyway, thx for your time.
Oh.
Not a bad idea.
Good luck.

There is an app on the market that can do that.

HomeSwitcher.
Works from 1.5 - 2.1, I think.
Certainly doesn't support 2.2

No,not home switcher. It was called easy switcher or something like that, can't say for sure. It supported widgets for quick switching also. I found several with similar function Launcher switcher/Home manager/, don't know if this one has widgets.
thanks mates,
homeswitcher does indeed not support android 2.2.
anyway, i found "Launcher Switcher" BUT:
- doesn't provide a widget
- sends me to the android settings screen, when i want to re-bind the home button
so, i stiiiiiiiiill haven't fouuuuuuuuund, what i'm looking foooooor....

It takes you straight to the current launcher info page where you press clear defaults, then press home and select the one you want. Its the best option atm.

While Sense brings alot of benefits, I've always found that the default homepage is very wasteful in terms of screen real estate. I want to replace it with something like the default Android homepage - a search bar, and a selection of as many widgets and shortcuts as can fit on the screen. What's the best way of achieving what I want?
I've seen references to MaxManila and Co0kie's Home Tab Editor - are these what I'm looking for?
You should check out other launchers like LauncherPro from the Market
But, really you can make any homepage look like stock with widgets

Whoa, you might be jumping around to different device forums a bit here. MaxManila and CHT are mods for the old Windows Mobile OS, which does not even run on the G2/Desire Z. Different devices, different OS.
On Android, the app that is tied to the home button, and constitutes your home page and apps drawer is known as the "launcher". The stock Sense launcher is really slow and a resource hog. I highly suggest trying an alternative launcher.
As mentioned above, Launcher Pro seems very popular by users here. That, and ADW Launcher seem the most popular alternative launchers. I personally like ADW Launcher, since it has the option to lock the home screen. GO Launcher also seems pretty cool, and there are others. The ones I mentioned are all free (but have paid versions with more features). So just find them on the Market and see which you like best. You can even switch back and forth easily by using the Home Switcher for Froyo app.
Hi all,
Quick query in terms of launchers.
When you install a launcher, does it mess around at all with Touchwiz or is it completely independent?
For instance, could there be a risk of touchwiz slowing down just because Nova is installed (but touchwiz is being used)
Second query is if you uninstall Nova, does it mess around with Touchwiz at all? this includes structures setup such as folders etc?
Third and final - I purchased the full version of nova to test on the S3 the day before the S4 came and found a few annoyances like no option to turn on labels for the dock icons for instance.
But the main query is that having gone through the import settings, it did not import the folder structure and dumped all 185 icons or whatever in 5-6 pages. I've got everything foldered nicely in touchwiz, can this be imported and am I missing something?
Cheers

importing stuff sometimes has compatibility problems...
it is completely independent of touchwiz... however it only works as a launcher application. the dialer, contact list, messaging app, etc... are all still touchwiz. touchwiz itself as an interface is just laggy.
Thanks for the quick response
Does it still remain independent when used with missed it and tesla? (to get icon notification on unread messages)
Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to keep the Multiwindow function on but hide the little tab that overlays on every screen. I know I can enable/disable miltiwindow in the notification toggles, but I would rather have it hidden and turned on. I have the Note 10.1 2014 and I much prefer the way they did that multiwindow where a swipe from the right opens it up and there is no tab overlay. Any apps/mods that will do this?
Also, is there a way to easily add all of my apps to the multiwindow list? I have MW apps manager but I still have to manually add each app to the list that is available, and I can not sort the apps by name which makes it a huge pain to find the app I want quickly. Thanks.

Hold down the back button to hide it, again to show it.
Search play store for multi window manager.
