I was just messing around on the default launcher and long pressing on an icon let's you now reorganize the apps. How long has this been a feature?

Hey guys, I'm trying to give Touchwiz a chance before I inevitably switch to Launcher Pro or ADW. I'm using Handcent for SMS and wanted to know if anyone's found a way to change the Messaging shortcut at the bottom that's built into Touchwiz. I'd just like to get it to point to Handcent instead of the default messaging app.
menu > edit > customization.
open app drawer... long press handcent... move to bottom drawer and replace messanger.
you can then swith back to whatever view you prefer.
Ahhh i see..you have to have Customizable Grid selected as the View Type in order to do what u said. I was on the default Alphabetical grid.
Thanks!
hey guys
Im running cyanognemod for DHD and ive accidently replaced the drawer button in the middle of the dock with another shortcut... how do i recreate the link to the app drawer??
Longpress homescreen - custom shortcut then tap "pick your activity" and choose "launcher actions", select "open/close App drawer". After that drag & drop the launcher icon on the appr. place.
Cheers
Cheers. I was going nuts bouncing through all the menus.
Huh - same here - apparently widget delete has been moved to the top. I, by default, tried to delete a widget by tossing it over the drawer button. Then 10 minutes wondering around before I hit search
Thanks Ce!
disable the new behaviour
Isn't there any way to prevent the center icon from being replaced? This new behaviour is quite anonying.
yeah paramthegreat... I wish there was a way to do that
Can't you lock the home screen?
Someone swyped my idea.
The GoSms app has a really cool way of switching activities.
You swipe to the left and right and it animates to the next activity in a carousel type effect.
How do they do this? I don't necessarily want the same animation, but how do I have my app switch activities by swiping left and right?

Could also be view stubs, no way to know for sure but there's some ways to get you started
What launcher do you use and why?
How about performance, animation, customize, unread count and other?

I actually use the default TW launcher. Customize the grid size, slap a theme on - it seems pretty damn smooth this time around.
Action Launcher 3 is my go-to besides that. To me it's the Google Experience Launcher + the tweaks it needed.
Nova Launcher has custom resizable grids, custom scrollable dock, and a host of animations and is very fast.
But the reason I can't live without it is gesture support. I can double up every icon with two functions depending on tap or swipe up. I can do this on any icon, any folder (tap opens the folder, swipe up opens the most used app in the folder), and even the icons within the folders. I can pull down the shade from a swipe down motion from anywhere on the screen instead of reaching for it. Through the use of swipes, folders, and a resized grid, I have every shortcut I need on a single screen. I only scroll to the other screens for widgets.
Flow Home Beta. Because it's everything I need right there on my home screen without having to open multiple apps to get the same info.
We're already discussing that here:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This, plus LMT, is my approach as well.

As already mentioned, there is considerable overlap here with the discussion in this thread - let's try to keep the conversations unified and what not - thanks!
Dear,
Since i'm experimentating with my homescreen and using different launchers i deleted the button just above my dock to go to all apps. currently i'm using nova launcher and i don't know how i can add the button again.
Quiet irritating as i can't go to all my apps....
U should be able to add a new shortcut to the home screen labeled app drawer and the you can put that back in the original location
Indeed you need to hold the homescreen, the pick widget and there are soms widget of nova launcher included the app drawer! Thx mate!
I was looking in to the settings from nova launcher!
