Yes,i did search...
so,from the app drawer, you can long press,drag to the app info,uninstall...which is nice...but i want to go a bit further, and have that option on my
Homescreen as well.
Ill install alot of the same type widgets, to compare and see which is best... i find the one,uninstall the rest.
But its hard..time consuming..lazy? Nope.
You see, example of this is wifi, 20 widgets,most all are named wifi, alot are similar in name....
So, why cant i just longpress,drag the apps SHORTCUT to the uninstall or app info?\
Is there an app that does this?
Thanks.

Just a heads up if no one knew... Instead of going through the system setting to delete a program, just highlight the icon of THAT game/APP/program and drag to the garbage at the bottom and hold there. You will get a "drop to uninstall" option and vua-la... hope that helps...
The thing is that that only works with apps that we downloaded ourselves. Most of wanna get rid of the apps that came preinstalled. (Which can only be done with root)

Wow, what great timing. I don't mean to hijack your thread haha.
If you don't want to uninstall apps but you don't want to see them in the drawer, then the the newest version of LauncherPro can help (if you already use it)! I literally just updated like 10 minutes ago and it has a feature to hide shortcuts from the app drawer! Best feature evaaaaaar.

Oh thank god!!! i've been waiting for this. I used to ues Advanced Advanced launcher on my G1 until it became obsolete. and since nothing has had that feature..... Im stoked!!!
Woah... +1 for this... nice move by developer, thnx...
Thought id check out what homescreen apps people are using and compare features etc....
Currently Im using launcherpro and have been for a while....love it but know theres plenty more out there:
ADW launcher
Home++
Slidescreen
Pandahome
...to name but a few....anyone got any thoughts or comments ?
Also given all the hoo har in the news re ropey apps being able to dial premium numbers etc does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Reason that came about is because a number of apps ive seen have the ability call telephone numbers...now for a homescreen app that controls most phone functions id expect that to be normal? but would i be right in thinking that?
let us know....

I use Launcher Pro Plus.
And as a simple solution to premium numbers, you can just get your network provider to disable access I did that before my phone even arrived
Homescreen will likely need it so it can initiate calls etc. But be wary of apps that can make calls. I think google need to implement a UAC-style permissions system (like superuser permissions for root), that controls apps' access to the permissions they "need" in a similar manner. Then you could see when the app ACTUALLY needed the permissions, and deny or allow on a one-off or always basis.
I wonder if that's possible, if we could catch the intents etc. ???
I'm using launcherpro mainly as it seems to be the most responsive. I'm not interested in pretty widgets etc. Just speed

I happened to like sammy TW but I was wondering if I install LauncherPro, would it affect the performance in general? I know that they do not run at the same time but would it have any negative effect to have multiple launchers at a time?
extra launchers run in the background, but there shouldn't be any negative effects

you can force close tw if u think it's running. Just go to manage applications and select it from the list.
From my understanding though, when you install launcher pro and assign the home button to always use it, tw doesn't run in the background or even start with the phone.

Not only does twlauncher always run, it runs as a foreground app 100% of the time.

Yep, I'm trying systempanel lite from the market as a way to monitor processes & it always shows TW running & you can't keep it off unlike senseUI.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
there is a way to do it, you have to put the Launcher of ur choosing into the system/app folder and if u change the tw30launcher.apk file name to tw30launcher.old(this way u dont have to delete it and u can just change it back to .apk when u want to start using it again) it will not let tw run in the background cuz it wont be able to read the file. When u first change the file name tw will fc like crazy all u have to do is restart ur phone and it will just boot into the other launcher by default. I'm doing this with LauncherPro and LP seems to run faster being in the system folder than in the data folder anyway =D. this all can be done with Rootexplorer
I suggest you try that before reccomending it.
already done it, it was done already some time back I can't remember if the thread is in dev.or themes but it would be one of the earlier post. I said it causes fcs at first until restart so I did give warning on that but it works with no problems and I'm not the first to do this
edit: it is in development and the thread is called "Replace stock launcher"
Sent from my LV-Voodoo Fascinate using XDA App
This was my thread actually, and your statement is correct. You will fc until reboot, then all will be well. The running launcher integrates, and moving it results in bedlam for a second.
Just make sure you have the replacement launcher in the system/app directory before you move touchwiz out.
This is an old trick, just a new phone.

What happens when you move LauncherPro to system/app and then try to update it from the market when a new version comes out?

The work around is to pull down the update and pop it into the system/app directory.

Hey everybody
just got to play with my new sgs2 all day, and noticed whenever i sort my application in folders, and reboot the phone.. my application will go randomly so its not sorted anymore.. either its a bug or ?
but the folders that i put out on the homescreen is still as it was before, but going in the application menu, everything is just random after a reboot. really change..
so how do u guys sort your stuff, i do it by games, appz, tools & widgets, navigation and Samsung(bloatware
application menu just look like a mess
I haven't experienced such problem. My apps stay exactly as I organise them.
Menus sorted in order stay as they are after a reboot .
But installing new apps may move some around .
jje
Try "touchwiz appsorter" from market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
One of the weaker points of touchwiz, the seemingly random placement of apps in the appdraer, along with the horizontal scrolling of the app drawer (who thought of that, seriously?), there is an app in the market called touchwiz app sorter which sorts the apps but for a real nice launcher try go launcher, it sorts apps, in the tray, by running apps, alphabetically etc etc
I quite like dxtoplite it also organizes alphabetically or by genre or running etc and u get 5 home screens in a diamond formation really nice interface too
mine does sometimes the same that OP's gs2 does. it flips all the apps in the folder vice versa, eg superuser was first in the folder and now its in last place there.
happens randomly after reboot and im running rooted KF1

glade to hear im not the only one experiencing this!
i give op on sorting in the app drawer, so im just gonna use home screen from now on..
something weird i also notice is, if u have app drawer to show as list, and drag one of the items out to homescreen, it sometimes drag a totally different app lol

Thanks. Found that very useful
I also found the app recommendation very useful, cheers!
Hi there, well I thought about something that I would like to have on my phone
Maybe you have many apps installed...and you have many icons on the "list of apps" from your launcher. Its my case, and some of that app´s laucher icon I dont use it because maybe I dont use this app too much
So would be great an app which you can "transform" the icon from the app list to a widget. I mean, to hide the app to the menu, and If you want to launch the app, go to widgets and here is it. Do u understand me? what do you think?
Well javi, I'll give you a simple solution which u may not know yet that most of the launchers like ads support catalogs in which u can manage the apps u want inn your app drawer and when u need them u just need to switch catalog.... go and try ADW launcher if urs doesn't support it.
