First of all i want to say thank you to all the people here who develop all the things to make us customize our phone in any way possible!!
Well.. My question. sorry if it is a stupid question.
After trying different themes and launchers i just want the original stock os/theme but to be able to change the icons, menu's, dock (and so on) to my wishes. Al of that i can do except for the icons (app icons) and the homescreen dock. (without using a launcher app)
So in my search I found xposed hoping to find an answer to the annoying homescreen dock on the samsung.. But i'm stuck with the original homescreen dock. I don't want the dock.. It's to big.. Don't like the (big) icons.
In my original samsung menu i can't seem to find a way to change the grid size, app size or to remove the dock whole.. Am i missing something?
Anyone have a solution for me?
Help would be truly appreciated!!
thanks and for all a very nice weekend!

Hey!
I dont know if this would be the right section to ask for help but....
I extracted all the nice looking icon-backgrounds from TouchWiz 4 (!). I wonder if its possible to add these to the ADW Launcher EX. Maybe do a little mod? I know there is a "Fancy Background" option, but it isn't nearly as beautiful as those original TouchWiz backgrounds.
Any help is appreciated.
Hey all, I have a few Touchwiz questions that I'm hoping someone can help me answer:
I'm using apex launcher, and I'm trying to match my apex wallpaper to the lockscreen wallpaper. But when I go to the lockscreen wallpaper in settings, it only allows me to choose a few OEM wallpapers. How can I get the apex wallpaper onto the lock screen?
This is a minor annoyance, but is there a way I can theme the top of my phone where it tells me the time/cell signal to look like stock ICS? The touchwiz icons are really big and don't look that great, while taking up a lot of space.
In the very least, is there a way for me to leave nfc, but not have the icon show up?
Thanks! I'm trying to give tochwiz a chance, but I'm really missing stock!
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?
hey guys, i've been looking for ages but can't find what i'm looking for, was wondering if anyone knows where i could find a mod, to replace the touchwiz home screen's carousel effect with the new s5/old icecream sandwich "card stack?" effect without using another launcher, i'm looking for a flashable zip or a xposed framwork module that can be used on touchwiz, sumthin like this must surely exist?
thanks

Wanam offers three minor tweaks to TW launcher (among many other valuable phone tweaks):
1 – infinite scrolling on/off
2 – wall paper scroll with pages on/off
3 – dock icon labels on/off

I’m not so sure. Using Xposed to tweak the stock launcher seems like unnecessary overkill (considering the huge doorway into your phone's security that you give to every dev who's module you install). People who want to customize launchers generally go with alternate launcher. Then you don't even have to reboot to try out changes (like Xposed would have to). Nova would be my recommendation. I know it’s not the recommendation you’re looking for but you got it anyway.

this is exactly what i figured, i found those options in exposed but not quite what i'm lookin for.
i used nova launcher on my s3 for a year and loved it, i just want to keep my high def lookin stock touchwiz icons since the nova launcher icons look like they belong in the 90's, i seen a stock touchwiz icon looking pack for nova launcher but they didn't have that "high def" look/feel to them (no shadows/reflections? or bad shading? on the icons, i dunno they just look bland compared to stock icons where they feel kinda 3d)
the reason i don't wanna use nova launcher is because if i do use nova launcher and go back to that stock android feeling i midaswell be on stock android itself, GPE or Cyanogenmod and it feels to bland which is why i'm on a touchwiz based rom.
i'm just kinda hopeing someone will come along with an idea of how i can impliment this without removing touchwiz launcher, ORRR maby get the real stock touchwiz icons (the acual stock ones, not just look alikes) into nova launcher.
Hi, got a question. And no, i didn`t do an extensive search, because lock and icons shows me a billion loockscreen threads.
I got my father an S4(9505) currently running Samsungs Lolipop. He, being not "tech savy" to put it polite, sometimes moves icons or widgets accidently on the homescreen and then wonders where they went.
I already cleared out none useful icons, only the most needed remain. However, is there any way to lock the icons in place on the stock Samsung TouchWiz homescreen?
Thanks in advance

Launchers like Nova and Apex have a "Lock homescreen" or "lock desktop" feature that prevents any modifications to the homescreen. I think this is what you're looking for, but I don't know if the touchwiz launcher has such an option. You will have to dig through its settings.
If not, get Nova, or Apex, or even Holo launcher. They are basically the same and all 3 have that feature.
