How to I change the settings on S3 when downloading applications from the playstore not to go to the homescreen. This is very annoying.

Is there a way to organise the icons alphabetically? Maybe I am missing it but I can't see it anywhere.
Just press on applications. Then press the menu soft key and select list view.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

Thanks but is it possible to do this on grid view?
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and delete the program data for Touchwiz.
That should make it re-order everything alphabetically when it's next launched

Thanks, will give that a shot. There is also AppZorter Lite for TouchWiz in the Market for those who are interested.
If you are feeling a little bit adventurous, I highly recommend the Enhanced TouchWiz launcher. It has opened up a lot of options such as automatic app drawer grid sorting, app drawer customization, default home screen customization etc. Just make sure you read the thread and download all the necessary files to get it running on your SGS2. I'm using it on Infusion ROM and it works fine.

It also deletes all your widgets and panels, reverting to initial default widgets, naughty one

Tried it on my stock 2.3.3 w/ CF kernel. App forecloses upon running sort.
i installed appzorter light, and it worked for me on kf3 xeu stock unrooted.
when i first started it after the installation, it didn't work, it has to be started from the app drawer, but then with one click it sorted my apps alphabetically. also, it is capable of closing gaps when an app is removed. it's slim and does what is supposed to.

That issue should be fixed now, try the new version (1.0.4).
"appzorter" downloadable from the market will alphabetically arrange your program icons in the app drawer for touchwiz UI
Shield is absolutely amazing, but it's home screen is painful.
How can I change the default home launcher to something else?
Thanks!
You'll need to uninstall the current update from Google's TV Launcher, then install a 3rd party Launcher like "HALauncher". Also, turn auto updates off in Google Play Store settings so HALauncher will fix as your default launcher...

Hi,
I've uninstalled the Latested Updates but Hal Launcher is still not being set as the Main Launcher. Even though it's selected as Home App. I don't get any option to set it as Default.
I've tried to clear the defaults from Learnback Launcher but that didn't work.
Don't want to Root now just incase I wish to return it. Still all new for me and want to test it out as much as possible.
Thanks
I'm with Verizon, I've tried 2 launchers in settings, the Home with separate Apps list and Nova launcher.
Text messaging, youtube, websites, gallery etc all rotate but the home screen and the other 2 pages I scroll to find apps don't rotate horizontally?
Any fix to this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not on VZW,but,have you checked the Settings of the phone (Accessibility).
There should be an option to check off for Nova once installed,ensure you grant that permission. Also double-check the Nova app settings for auto-rotate.
If that does nothing for you,try this app from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=en
You'll have prompt(s) to grant accessibility settings access/approval for it to work properly,then proceed to customize on a per-app basis,or,simply choose your desired settings for the entire phone.

I found it, Thanks its weird they switch games into one folder.
I've been looking around it doesn't seems to be a way to do that.
Just click and hold on your home screen... Select wallpaper and it will ask you if you have it on home screen, lock screen or both

Try that already but I don't get the choice to do it,it just sets the wallpaper for both automatically.

I use Google Wallpapers app that Pixel phones have. There are a lot of different wallpapers and you get the choice of home/lock screen or both.
