Changing order of apps.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.

I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows

Thanks will take a look.

Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

i've tried Chrome, Maxthon and Dolphin browsers, both mobile and desktop modes and it doesn't seem to render the page correctly...i haven't accessed the site in quite a while, but it all used to work on Gingerbread and Honeycomb...i don't have an ICS device to test with, my Galaxy Nexus is also on JB and it also displays the page incorrectly
i'm wondering if there is some setting i need to enable (thought i've tried everything) or if it's just the site itself that's messed up

Here's what it looks like on mine using the stock Chrome browser:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

thanks for checking...though it doesn't really help me because i too am using the stock Chrome browser, at least now i know that it's not like that for everyone and the problem is at my end
are you rooted? i am...is there any reason that may make a difference?

Not rooted, no, and don't know what difference it could make. Though I wouldn't expect any browser to work particularly differently on a rooted device, but I'm no expert.

can anyone else maybe shed some light as to why a rooted device can't view a website properly?

[Q] Chrome fonts are different sizes when zooming in.

Hi,
Since the last Chrome update I've noticed that when zooming in on a website (these forums for example) that one post will be in a large font and another post will have a tiny font.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've gone back to the older version and everything works fine. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there was a solution other than downgrading?

I've noticed the same thing since the new update. I've also noticed that when you click on something. It doesn't flash blue anymore to indicate that it was pressed. Plus, when you first enter a website and start scrolling around before it's fully loaded. The page will automatically scroll back to the top when it's done rendering. My Nexus S used to do that and it drove me crazy. Hope they send out a quick fix for all this stuff. On another note, how does Google not notice these glitches before an update is released?.. Boggles my mind sometimes.

I've also noticed that when zoomed out the display is no where as crisp as it used to be. For example reading xda full screen in portrait it was quite easy to read, now it is quite blurred and the letters run into each other.

Chrome is a disaster, I really wish Google would sort it out, as I love the desktop version.

Is that what we are leaving it at? That it's a disaster? Firefox does this too. After searching, I haven't found a solution. Has anybody?

I think this is a good feature. Yes, it doesnt look like real page but i am reading texts more comfortable with this feature. Anyway, its not a disaster..
Sent from my Nexus 4

My workaround to still using chrome/chrome beta on xda, is to scroll down to the 'quick style chooser' and change it from 'xda 2013 beta' to 'xda 2010' that seems to totally sort out the wonky formatting on my nexus 4.

The feature is called Font Boosting in Chrome, or Font Inflation in Firefox for Android.
I don't think it can be disabled.

[Q] Updated to 4.3 and now keyboard is different?

My wife updated her Note 3 somehow (not sure if it was to 4.3, or if it was just some Samsung update. I didn't see when she did it) and now says her keyboard is the old version? Not really sure what the difference is...
This what she says it should look like.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looks like now.
Is there any way to get the first one back? Google search shows that it's a Samsung Keyboard app in the play store, but if i go to it on her phone, it just shows it's already installed. Checked Language and Input, only one Samsung keyboard and it's the default (the 2nd photo version).

If she don't like it try SwiftKey keyboard it's one of the best and comes in lots of colours
From Google play

Note 3 always came as 4.3 mate. And yh, it's a newer build she has now. Same 4.3 but a newer build. IMO, the black one, I like better. But i guess, what i like, someone else may not. So! Just do as previous post said, try third-party keyboards like SwiftKey, Swype and so on. Cheers!

Fixed - How to get the thumbtack button to show on Action Memo? [PIC]

I couldn't for the life of me find that thumbtack icon / button which is suppose to be next to the X on the Top of the Action Memo. This will help me put them up on a screen as a widget. check the third image to the right. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, I'd love to just go to one of my screens and just start writing. But I can't find that thumbtack button. Here, i found a better picture. Do you see it on yours?

Nope, weird. Closest is long pressing the note within SNote and it gives me an option to send to home as a shortcut...but no pin.

I just saw a similar post in another thread... are you using the stock TW launcher? If you are using a replacemnet launcher like Nova, or Google now Launcher, you will lose the thumtack pin feature in action note. Action notess can only be put onto a TW homescreen.

Doesn't work on default launcher either just tried.

Yeah, that's what I thought it was before I posted this thread. Unfortunately, that darn button won't show up in stock launcher either. I'm thinking it's a different apk??

Maybe ? My Tmo firmware update already hit soon as I turned on don't know if it was there prior.

Ok I got it. From reading a similar thread, they're saying you need a reboot for the pin to show once you switch to touchwiz. I did not do the reboot so it was still missing even with touchwiz.
I'm also going to let nova launcher devs know this issue so they can fix it. For now I'm just going to use the action memo in the minimized form.

Did you get an answer from them?
