Allright, is there any way to change the app menu from one long cluster to 3 or 4 pages that you can you navigate by sliding left or right? I came from a palm pre and a ipod... so, lol. Any Ideas? Sry, if this has already been talked about, my search didnt bring anything up.

I think the ADW Launcher supports this.
Correct adw does

TouchWiz too. I'm sure there's a link somewhere here on XDA. I personally recommend ADW EX, tho.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I was wondering if there's a way to modify the permanent tray at the bottom of the screen? I want to put my chompsms link in place of the default messaging link. Thank you in advance.

Try using launcher pro it allows you to do this and is more customizable than samsung's default launcher. I just started using it myself and prefer it a lot more
If you open the app tray and press the menu button you will get an option for view type. Select customize. Press menu button again and select edit. You can now change the center two icons

You learn something new everyday. No idea the menu button did anything in the app tray. Thank you. And I've tried both launchers. This is probably blasphemy but I don't like either. *runs and ducks for cover*

There are tons of these types of apps in the market. Here's a list of the ones I thought were good:
Open Home
Live Home
Launcher Pro
ADW
aHome
dxTop
Of those, I'd have to say Launcher Pro and Live Home are my favorites.
I friend of mine has the Captivate, and when they edit the home screen, there is an option to make any particular screen the default without having to move them around to certain orders.
Anybody know what she may have loaded that gives that option?
launcherpro?
Does not belong in development should be in Q/A
Yeah Launcherpro will do it and I thing ADW will to.

It's not LauncherPro (unless there is some setting in there that I can't find), cause her home screen looks just like the default, is edited just like the default with that one difference.
I will check out ADW to see if that is it.
**EDIT** Just tried ADW, and it does not do what I was talking about in my original post, unless it also has some settings somewhere that I just can't find.

But it's not looking like the default home screens like hers does. I just will wait for her to let me know what she has loaded to have it like that.
I use zeam. It does that and looks stock.

Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.
Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.
I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Aug 31st... the first day I had my phone I moved to Launcher Pro and haven't looked back... not a single reason to use TW
Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Got my phone in august 31, moved to launcherpro sept 4, havent looked back either, its great, especially with the scrollable dock and all the customizations you can do!!
Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.
I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

It's pretty much using the Gingerbread Launcher as a base rather than Froyo. It's odd though, even if you're not using it as your main launcher when you uninstall anything the launcher crashes.
I've experienced this on CM7 as well as EC05.

Dumb question, but how do you activate/deactivate the hidden dockbar? I have had this as my home replacement but haven't been able to figure that out....
If you want to enable/disable, go Settings -> More -> ADWSettings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar
If you want to use it, swipe up from bottom of screen to bring up hidden dockbar, swipe down from top of hidden dockbar to hide it.
I always lock my desktop (especially after customizing either dockbars) b/c if I don't I always end up screwing up my dockbars by dragging icons off of them. Some launchers have dockbar launching icon which is handy, but the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't look like you can edit it or move it.

Move your finger down on the dock i believe just swipe down....
To get back to normal dock swipe up...
I set mine up to open/close with the home button.

Don't tell me to use a different launcher because I want to remain stock... But I just can't figure this out. I have looked through settings and everything but can't find any launcher settings. Thanks. I know its a stupid question but im confused!

You can not complete such a task on stock. You MUST use a different launcher like Nova or Apex just as a couple of examples. Google doesn't allow you to modify grids in the settings. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry.

I use Nova Launcher. It is based on the stock launcher & has that same look & feel. It gives you options like changing the number of rows & columns, hide apps from the drawer, and remove the persistent search bar.
I also use Nova. It's built from the stock launcher, plus it has LOTS of extra customization features. Seriously, just get it.
Honestly the only reason I was trying to avoid it was because I didn't feel like setting it up. But its done now and works well! Thanks
