I used Appsi as Sidebar launcher and complete app drawer replacement on my n7000 (didnt run touchwiz on it though).
Unfortunately this does not support multi-window and I don't want to use two sidebars lol.
So is there any other sidebar launcher out there that allows placing apps in multiwindow mode?
Or can you customize the look of the stock multiwindow sidebar somehow? I would like it to have smaller icons with the app name to the side. Maybe through some other app? Couldnt find anything and hoping someone can help.

Hi...
I am test driving the Neutrino ROM on my Atrix 4G. So far I find it to be a very nice ROM but I have run into a small dilema...
Because of the fact that this ROM seems to be pretty stripped down on some features (one of the main reasons I choose to test it) it seems like the home/drawers screen sizes can not be re-sized. t seems to have a standard 4x4 grid size and the re-sizing seems to have been stripped out. I use MInimalistic Text to set up my home screen and the 4x4 grid limits what and how I can set my widgets up.
Is there any way to add this feature back into the ROM? It seems to be a Cyanogenmod display feature.
Thanks...

You have to change the launcher for that. No other way to do it. Holo launcher is very good for pre-ics.

Thanks el_venga... I did switch launchers but the same issue. It is a new launcher to me that does state that it can re-size the grid (Nemus Launcher) and such but I have not been able to find the option anywhere. I may switch to Holo if I can not find the proper solution shortly.
Ok... found it. The option under the Nemus Launcher was tucked away under an option called "HomeSettings". In my all mighty "noobiness", I was looking for "Display Settings" or something like that as I have become used to seeing.
so being new to android, i find this weird lol. so widgets are only available for apps that you have correct? and you can place either widgets or the app icon on the home screens?
also how do i resize widgets? i've pressed and held on the widget and the only options available are to drag somewhere else.
Pretty much. Note that some widgets are not resizable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unless you use a third-party launcher such as Nova and Apex that allows you to resize widgets that are normally not re sizable.
Being able to resize a widget depends upon if that function was added by the developer. Most of the widgets supplied with Android Pro Widgets (paid version not sure about free) are resizeable by long pressing them.

Not all apps have a widget, and keep in mind that some widgets use more battery based on how often they sync
Hey Guys,
Just coming from a Nexus 4 running APEX launcher with a 5x6 icon grid on the home screen and one thing that is really going to bug me, if I keep Touchwiz on the S4, is only having a 4 column Icon grid, despite the large S4 screen and high resolution.
First question is therefore, is it possoble to to increase the number of icons on the screen from touchwiz. Unfortunately I suspect the answer to this is No.
Secondly, If I use the Apex or Nova launcher, which of the new S4 features will I loose. for istance will air gestures and air view still still work?
1st u answered ur own question
2nd u will only lose widgets those features are for apps not launcher
I'm looking for a grid mod (an extra row in height, not an extra column to increase the width) for Touchwiz on 4.4.2 (SecLauncher3.apk). I have tried the Xposed 'Stock Launcher 5x4 Modification' module but it doesn't have any effect so I assume it's for a previous version of the launcher on the S2/S3 etc. I have also tried a few modded TW launchers from 4.2.2 on the S4, not holding much hope that they would work, and they didn't.
Has anyone got something to allow this? I really like TW as a launcher (especially now Unicon on Xposed allows the icons to be changed like any other launcher) but the grid size is simply a deal breaker for me and an additional horizontal row would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance.
Use nova launcher?
I do currently. But I want dock icon labels, and for some strange bizarre reason (despite multiple requests from a lot of people), neither Nova or Apex have that as an option, despite it being a very easy thing to implement. Also, I really like the stock transparent weather widget more than any other I have tried (and I have tried them all), but it only runs under TW thanks to Samsung's framework being a requirement.
Anyone got any suggestions with this?
So I stupidly installed Nova Launcher just to try it out. Discovered the inability to hide the navbar on my homescreen problem (seriously teslacoil? not cool).
Spent ages searching for a way to get back to where I was.
Installed Nova Laucher Beta 5.4 beta 3 which allows it to be hidden whilst using nova laucher but still isn't hidden if I go back to touchwiz! I can see the hide button inside apps and it's working (navbar disappears, just swipe up yo see it) everywhere but the homescreen.
VERY frustrating. Anyone know of a fix for this?
I just want touchwiz back the way it was with the navbar hidden on the homescreen
EDIT: Just to be clear - Navbar was hidden on the homescreen using Touchwiz before I installed Nova Launcher. Isn't now.
Latest beta Nova launcher supports hiding the navbar.
Install it then go to settings > look & feel > notification bar. You will see it there.
Can't help you with touchwiz as I've literally never used it
