TouchWiz - re-order applications?

Within the applications panes of TouchWiz(3), is there a way to re-order application icons alphabetically if you have manually ordered them whilst in edit mode?

Display them as a list. The list is shown A-Z I believe. Or use ADW.Launcher instead as I do.

I take that's a no then...

inside the apps menu, press the menu button then select edit.
now u can sort them the way u want "hold on the icon u wanna move till it come up then move it"

to move the icon to a different page, while holding it, drag it to the edge of the page, and it will automatically jump to the next screen

This is what I do in the launcher port:
Settings > Application > Manage Applications > (Filter All) > choose Twlauncher > Clear Data
When you return to the launcher it will re-cache data and present the app drawer alphabetically. Downside is you lose all saved homescreen icons and widgets.

kenshinta, that did it, thanks for that.
To the others, yep, I know how to move the icons around, I was after a way to reset them to alphabetical. The clear data tip did it, reset the launcher to default.

good tip kenshinta thanks!

up until this post i have hated touchwiz, now i i can change the 4 at the bottom!!! this is amazing

Or alternatively you can use gtg465's modded launcher. The downside is you lose the number in the message, emails and the Samsung app market.

[Q] I have a market with one app........

I only have one app in my market, it is download-able but none the less its the only thing there. any idears?

Any ideas folks?

So you started doing the Manualnooter 4.5.2 for 1.2
Just continue one with the rest of the steps. Reading further down on the Step-by-step guide you get these instructions.
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
5) Select the Applications option
6) Select the Manage applications option
7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
13) Tap on the Force close button now.
14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing!

Thanks, your awesome!

Bookmarks widget on homepage on the i9505 - Why so difficult?!

Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.

I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...

Its working for me even on touchwiz..

Roaming pop-up dial!! (solved)

Galaxy note edge korean devices only.
I am sharing this tweak and very helpful for international users.
After spending some time on the roaming issue, I finally found a way to disable this pop up. Turns out that it s quite easy:
1. Download the app Anycut
2. Launch Anycut
3. Select " Create New Shortcut"
4. Select " Activity"
5. Roll down until you find and select "Roaming Auto Dial"
6. The new shortcut is created - exit Anycut.
7. Launch your new shortcut and disable Roaming Auto Dial.
Hope this help.
Cheers

Thanks!

Thanks :thumbup:

Quick Settings Sound*Vibration*Silent toggle

Hello everyone
Since I was annoyed with not having a quick settings toggle for changing the sound profile on my OP3T and since I haven't found any guide to enable it, I decided to share with you how I've done it in case you're interested
Your device needs to be rooted for this to work
1. Install app called Custom Quick Settings for play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quinny898.app.customquicksettings&hl=en
2. Give permissions
3. Go to quick settings and hit that edit buttons (pencil button) on top right and then drag one of Custom Tile to the top and then hit back buttons to apply it
4. Go to Custom quick settings app and hit on the Unconfigured Tile from the list (you will see one option for each tile you drag up in quick settings)
5. Select Toggles and then Sound from the list
6. Now hit on the ranch buttons at the bottom right
7. You will see 3 sections for each action (Sound*Vibration*Silent)
8. In first section (Normal) hit on Short Click Action and from the opening window choose Toggles > Set ringer to vibrate
9. Uncheck Collapse notification bar on double click for this section
10. In second section (Vibrate) hit on Short Click Action and from the opening window choose Toggles > Set ringer to silent
11. Uncheck Collapse notification bar on double click for this section
12. In third section (Silent) hit on Short Click Action and from the opening window choose Toggles > Set ringer to normal
11. Uncheck Collapse notification bar on double click for this section
12. Enjoy

Thanks for this tutorial, it's working perfectly.

Tasker has Do Not Disturb mode (also readable through variable %INTERRUPT) and Silent mode, which works a little finicky on Nougat but may be of interest. If you mean to create a custom tile for the task, you will need to look into addons. My choice is AutoNotification but I'm sure there are also free ones

What i wanted to do is "press" the tile i just created using tasker.
Custom Quick Settings comes with a tasker plugin but i can't make it works. In the task list i select Plugin -> Custom Quick Settings ->CQS Switch action
Then i select the tile i create using this tutorial and the action i want to swtich to, but it doesn't work

If you're using Tasker, you can just do everything in it, no need for Custom Quick Settings. Your question is more targeted at that app and how it interacts with Tasker, and since I haven't use it, I can't help you with that.
