Absoluelty horrible Glitch on 2.2 (Please Read)

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.

I would like to create a single post where we comment on recommendations to make better and faster and more reliable our phones, ways to decrease the RAM usage, extend battery life, useful tricks, etc.
- Disable all animations
- Disable buttons lights
- Download app named multitask shortcut
- Download SwiftKey 3 and Swype
- Use as less possible widgets and live wallpapers to avoid homescreen refresh
- Disable touch vibrations
Any other useful tips for making better the Galaxy S 3 experience are welcome.

I used to use touchwiz, but can't stand the slow transition, even after making the adjustment under development in settings.
Then i install Nova launcher, turn transition to the fastest. Wow, now my phone has over 300 mb free ram after boot up and is fast. And I mean real fast. For those who need speed. Go with Nova, and you retain most of the touchwiz features, like smart stay.

I haven't noticed any lag with it And I agree it looks great and has great ideas, but it's just lacking in features. The way I use my phone tho, the missing features don't bother me.

It's a launcher developed by Chris Lacy. He does good work. I use his twitter app, tweet lanes. It's one of the better twitter clients imho. He's very responsive to user feedback. This launcher is in its infancy so it'll get better

$4 is the going rate. It's the same price as apex and Nova even when they were brand new. It's very nice because it's actually different than the standard android launchers besides obviously the $10-17 ones.

I'm using this one since today on my Xperia Play ( My N4 hasn't arrived yet.. Germany - 'preordered' ****up )
And it runs smoothly even on this old device.

What stopped me from using it is the app drawer in the top left. It'd be a nuisance for me to reach all the way up there every time I needed to access the drawer o_0

Nova and Apex are free, there are paid versions which you can unlock certain features. Completely different to Action Launcher which doesn't offer a free/trial version.
At least with Nova/Apex you can see how it runs on your device over a day or two compared to Action Launcher which you basically have 15 minutes to trial it and if you don't like it you only have 15 minutes to request a refund.

I was concerned about this too - I think you can open the app drawer with the home button, but some apps you want will still be at the top of the list. Infact, if you use the A-Z most will be at the top.
Does anyone know if there is a way around this (e.g, when you press the letter they are offset from the top by a couple of apps)?
I will certainly keep an eye on this, I was quite impressed with the frequent updates for tweetlanes.

The app drawer isn't really on the top left, you can press the home button and it will open, and you can also just swipe right when you are on your "left most" home screen.
I use this on my Nexus 7, and I think its great, good to see something different and not horrifically overpriced!
For me, all it needs is a landscape option, I wouldn't really use landscape on my N4, but I would use it quite a bit on my N7!

Again only 4 columns home screen

OMG I was shocked to see the Note 3, just like the Note 2, only has a 4x5 grid on the homescreen. What I don't understand is how Samsung can develop a device with a huge screen, and then totally forget that they can make use of the extra room to place more icons. Even the original Note had 5 columns in the home screen by default (I owned the original Note, the Note 2 and now the Note 3).
I wanted to fix this using something like Assassin tools just like I did when I got my Note 2 a few months ago. Then I read about the Knox warranty void 0x1 on the Note 3. I don't want to void my warranty, although I find it completely rediculous that a user can loose warranty cause he wants to install another (modified) operating system to his device. Suppose Microsoft forbid me to install Linux on my PC!
But okay, we have to deal with it and we probably can't fix this problem (making Samsung change it's strategy) easily. So now it's becoming a challange to solve the wish for a more customizable home screen. How can we do that without root? Yes you could use a custom launcher, but I really like the Touchwiz launcher and it's widgets. Does anybody have ideas how to create a customizable grid on the Touchwiz homescreen to place icons and widgets, without the need to get the phone rooted?
Also: why can't we set the dpi per app? Same goes here, we have such nice devices with big screens, I'd love to have control over the per app dpi in Touchwiz! Is that possible without root? Anybody have a solution for that?
Or do I have to issue a ticket to the Samsung development team and clearify my wishes? And if so, will they listen?

I don't understand how you could be shocked by it, You must of already known this before buying the phone? the Samsung launcher had always been the same just like the xperia launcher etc
As for customising it if you don't want to root your phone right now when it is possible, im afraid you will have to wait it out. Try some other launchers at the moment besides I'm pretty sure most of the widgets work on different launchers

Ok I was not shocked in that kind of way (I love the Note series enough to keep buying each increment), but I can imagine that I'm not the only user with such a big screen who wished there was more room to place icons and use apps optimized for big screens. So the shock is that apparentely I am the only one complaining about this, or Samsung doesn't listen....

Fair enough that's just the Samsung launcher though, it's not the "Note3 launcher" I suggest installing nova launcher or apex and replicating the touchwiz look with themes or icon packs for now, just be patient it was only released a few days a go ^^

Samsung just says "if you want more options, install another launcher. We're not stopping you."
That's the point of Android. Don't like it, change it.

Lag on the galaxy note 10.1 2014

Hi just went to bestbuy to test the overall performance on this tablet. Sad to say that when i tested the exynos variant, I did encounter lag when I was scrolling the home screen. What I mean is that it doesn't feel smooth. Also pulling out flipboard caused lag. Trying to run a couple of applications like s note. It's not major lag that will take away the whole experience. Just lag that you'll notice from time to time even if it's minor. What's your opinion on this and how do you feel about the exynos? Is it still going to be worth it sacrificing a bit of performance for cheaper price and getting it earlier. Should I wait for the snapdragon variant since it might be faster. But it's also going to be more expensive and I won't be needing LTE. I had really high hopes of this tablet too.

Too many variables. How much other stuff was running in the background? Did you do all this testing after a fresh reboot? Who knows what the people before you were doing to it. And every Samsung experience running full blast does take it's toll, all those widgets updating all programs running etc. I'm just saying it's not all doom and gloom... Just tweak it.

Even in the my magazine app? I hate the stock tw launcher, I wonder how much resources it takes up

I think early technical analysis showed that the exnyos governor was not exactly optimized. I'm sure this thing will fly with the proper rom. I rommed my note 2 and last year's 10.1 when I felt lag was hindering the experience and both were super fluid after modification. Samsung uses good parts. Tw just tends to be bloated.

As well they should. I've always wanted a tablet but I would go into Best Buy and play around with them and just walk away saying 'nope' The specs were getting closer to what I wanted but with this, Samsung hit a home run. Pricey but you get what you pay for. :good:

Totally agree on that. All android tablet has come so close. When I saw the 1st gen of the note 10.1 I thought it was the one for me. But with the screen resolution, it was a big let down for me. This year this is the one. Only thing that's stopping me now is the performance.

I may not be as tech savvy as many of you, but I just got this tablet and the performance is amazing. I have 12 active apps running and I don't notice any lag navigating the menus. I've been working in dropsync and synced a whole bunch of files while messing around with it and still noticed no lag whatsoever. I did notice that it gets a bit warm on the back though.

They probably would say that with any new device. I was at bestbuy the other day helping my sister buy a tablet and a couple of employees saw my Nvidia Shield (I was carrying it in its case) and were amazed by the device

Lol no that wasn't it, he wasn't trying to sell me anything. He was trying to find it how much I'm selling my old one for his friend.

Sad to say I'm running into lag and random reboots. So far it has been happening while scrolling through play store. It will freeze then reboot.
I need me some root.

Have you took the update yet? Mine doesn't have those issues

I noticed some lag in windows transistions. So what I've done is turn on developer options and changed transition animation scale from 1x to off. Feels much faster. For example, instead of xda kind of sputtering to life when initiated, it just pops up immediately.

Did you make this modification on the new Note 2014....? I ask because I can not find that setting, even after doing a search....?

Yes, I did take the update. I'm going to do a factory reset and see if that works.
