Itching Thumb A Must Have

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.

There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

lol post those wallpapers

edit:

nice idea, good luck with all that

Dont worry guys! Team Syndicate is already covering this in a new launcher being released on Dec. 1, 2011
I have talked with the OP and it will be a style/option in a new epic launcher coming soon

15. Half naked girl wallpaper

Oh stop whining about the wallpaper, the idea is brilliant, unique and definatly something I would use. The wallpaper is something you can see on womans magazines and billboards anywhere.
If I knew anything more about android development other than the layouts are extremely frustrating when you come from a windows development background, I would tackle this myself.

Yes, these are what I wanted too.
A goo launcher that looks nice and has cool icons with following feature.
1. Hide/Show apps in App Drawer
2. Make folder in APp Drawer
3. Uninstall App directly via app drawer.
If anyone could make such a launcher it would really be great....

@OP
This not a quite hard thing to do actually.
Draw the icons to the wallpaper of your screen size.
Set the shortcuts (or widgets like folder organizer if you want folders) with blank icon at the corners every page.
Set no scrolling wallpaper.
Done!
@yagya
That sounds like stock ICS launcher lol

Screen Capture Galaxy s2

To capture what you are looking at on your phones screen, just press the home key and the power button at the same time and it will capture the screen image and save it in your pictures folder, or just click on your pictures icon to select and view.
Have a nice day...

Nice! I found a good one too:
When on any home screen, long press on an empty area and an options to add widgets becomes available.
In the list of widgets you will find one by the name of 'Google'.
Very handy.

Galaxy SIII Annoyances Megathread

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?

App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.
Thanks.
Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

If you goto phone contacts menu display you can remove fb contacts for ppl you dont want

Scrolling wallpapers!!!! (Already made a thread for it)
The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

Appdrawer -> Menu button -> View Type -> Alphabetical grid
nvm, someone already posted it.

TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

TW isn't that bad, it's manageable but obviously they are better options.

Meh. To each his own. I used to own an iphone and found it boring and featureless. TW just reminds me of the iphone too much. Not as bad as miui though.

Turn off double ppress for svoice. It is quicker. The reason food the delay is that it is giving the user a chance to double press

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

Android Apps that use Air View

Does anyone else know of any apps that take advantage of airview? I haven't had much luck. Here's a list of what I have.. I can try and keep it updated, but no promises.
[stock] Email
[stock] Messaging
[stock] Gallery
[stock] Calendar
[stock] Internet browser
Flipboard

Calendar does as well. You can hover over appointments, etc.

Toolkit* lol

Yeah that.
It would be nice to see this incorporated into a Web browser and home launcher. Hover over a folder to see contents, hover over messaging icon to see last few messages, etc. It could be infinitely handy in a browser though.
I can't remember where I read they would release the toolkit(!), and I haven't seen confirmation from Samsung on it, but it would be nice.

The manual actually says that it works in "Web browser" (does not say which one) to zoom in on parts of screen.

I've never tried it as I don't like the stock client, but what I'm interested in is hovering over text to expand a list. That would be great.

It works in the stock samsung web browser, of course you have to enable it in air gestures.
I think its on the bottom?
When you hover over text it will give you a little pop up zoom in of the text, similar to when you press somewhere with more than one link and a pop up appears so you can make a more precise link click.

Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 has air gestures too

I think this thread is about Air View, the feature you see in Gallery if you hover your finger over a category. I've accidentally glitched it to be forced ON for all apps on my S5 for about 2 hours. (Went away after a reboot... ) It worked EVERYWHERE. Chrome (mouseover menus on websites!!!) and Google Launcher (only got tooltips for long app names, nothing else) to name just a couple. I'm thinking that Samsung just triggers part of Android's built-in USB mouse code... Maybe we can duplicate my accident with Xposed...?
