List view for app locker? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Coming from the S4 I have got used to having a list rather than grid view. Anyone know how to get it to be a list on the S5? I only see alphabetical and custom. Just curious if there is a setting somewhere else?
Thanks

Hiding GMail Sidebar...

Anyone know if there is any way to hide that annoying sidebar in Gmail? It would be great to view my emails in full screen view. Any ideas?
I believe the only way to do that is to find a way to change the dpi for the mail program to phone size.
I am not around my device to check and see if it is available to change right in Gmail settings.
Thanks for the response. I looked and didn't see any dpi settings in GMail.
Any other ideas?
Maybe this can't be done??
Paranoid android has that option. Flash it. Then you can change the DPI off specific apps

Thanks for the info.
I've unlocked and rooted my Gnex, but I am keeping the N7 stock - in every way. So maybe I just have to live with it.
the sidebar goes away when you open an email in portrait mode, right?

Yes.
I've seen a number of threads on the net about this. It seems like a questionable UI design decision by Google. When you open up the app, nearly half the screen is dedicated to listing all of your labels - imagine if that happend on your PC when you open your Gmail? Would be great (although maybe not possible now) to open to a full-page listing of your email, with the option of opening a view of your labels if needed.
I just didn't know if I was overlooking some setting, but apparently I am not.
Thanks for your reply.

[Q] is there a way to change the app drawer to alphabet list ??

like the option note 3 have its alot more easy and fast to use but i dont see the option in S5
is there a option in setting or a mod for it ?
There is. Click on the app drawer setttings icon. Then choose view as > alphabetical.
.
I don't mean alphabetical order but a list like this

the note 3 had that
Nope. It wasn't clear what you were looking for.
You are seeking an alphabetical list instead of an alphabetical grid view. And AFAIK, Samsung got rid of the list view on the S5 as it wasn't as popular as the grid view. If the minor stylistic difference is important to you, look for a Note 3 launcher port or possibly a play store app to do that.
It can be re enabled again. Is an option available in Alliance Rom

Devs: Is it possible to make a widget that has tabs?

I would like a widget that has tabs that I could put other widgets on. I know that there are a number of launchers that allow one to have multiple screens, but I had a widget with tabs in the old Windows Mobile days and I miss it. So, is what I am looking for possible? Does something already exist? Anyone interested in creating such a beast if it doesn't already exist?
Thanks,

Tasks edge (in app shortcuts)

So when I am on my s7 edge (edge apps) and i go to tasks edge. I click the settings tab, on bottom left. Then go to that edge panel and click the bottom pencil(edit) Once there it says on top left( once you add shortcuts to homescreen from within apps they will appear here) so how do I do this? I I can't find any way to make these shortcuts? Any help?
One way is with an app called Awesome Icons. You may also want to install the Touchwiz Icon pack if you are using the stock icons. Also, you may may want to try QuickShortcutMaker. These effectively let you add App shortcuts to Task Edge.
Thanks georgeP,
I figured since it was there and mentioned that Sammy would have had a means of doing it. I will try the above mentioned. Thanks again

I added a couple of things there using Nova launcher but I can't remember how I did it.... Does anyone else have a solution for this? A google search only takes me to this thread.
Sorry to "me too" spam but I haven't found a way yet, either. The QuickShortcutMaker certainly makes shortcuts but I don't see how to put them to the Tasks Edge.
i need to put there messenger contacts, whatsapp contacts, telegram contacts but i can't...there is a way ?
Hi I also want to add more shortcuts to the Edge Tasks panel. so BUMP

One simply need to add the needed shortcut(s) to any page of the *Touchwizz Laucher*
After that it become available to add in the tasks panel
It works even if you use an alternative launcher: one just need to temporary switch to Samsung launcher to create the shortcut
Oncethe shortcut is added to the panel, you don't even need to keep it on the launcher desktop.

Customize Lockscreen Shortcuts

I remember seeing in a review somewhere that you can change/remove the app shortcuts at the bottom of the lockscreen.
I can't seem to find this anywhere on here or the internet.
Does anyone know how this is done? I don't have root or anything.

The apps you put in the bottom bar next to the app drawer on the home screen are what show up on your lock screen too.
Thanks. I didn't realize the two were connected.
