[Q] Change icon order

Hello.
I have Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.2. How to change icon (applications) order in Applications tab? If I hold the icon I can only drop in into desktop or uninstall but I can't move it in another place.
Best regards
Some non-stock launchers have options for the App drawer. You might check out Nova, Apex, Go, Trebuchet, etc. in Play Store or their individual websites. I don't know one specifically that offers what you want, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out. Is it really a problem to find an app sorted alphabetically in the App drawer.
Stock launcher doesn't let you do it. You could try something like Nova Launcher Prime. That allows allows you to hide the ones you don't want to see.

Alternative (Sidebar) Launchers with multi-window support / customizing stock bar?

I used Appsi as Sidebar launcher and complete app drawer replacement on my n7000 (didnt run touchwiz on it though).
Unfortunately this does not support multi-window and I don't want to use two sidebars lol.
So is there any other sidebar launcher out there that allows placing apps in multiwindow mode?
Or can you customize the look of the stock multiwindow sidebar somehow? I would like it to have smaller icons with the app name to the side. Maybe through some other app? Couldnt find anything and hoping someone can help.

Some questions regarding BlissPop ROM

Hello everyone, i recently installed BlissPop ROM on my D-802.
I was wondering:
1) Can i remove the "Get now cards" ?
2) Can i use smaller icons like the others on bottom tray ?

Futhermore, were could i find stock apps like Dialer and Contacts ? Most of them listed on "G2 THEMES AND APPS" have broken links.
Hi,
1. I'm assuming that's a widget, if so, you can just long-press it and throw it to the "Remove" / "Delete" option that pops up.
2. If you're using Nova launcher, witch I guess you're using, you can go to Nova settings--> Desktop--> Icon layout and from there you can adjust the size of the icons in the desktop.
Edit: Oh and about the stock apps, here's a link to some stock lollipop apps
http://www.idroidspace.com/download-android-5-lollipop-stock-apps/
Nearly all the stock lollipop apps are there, however if you want the messenger app then just search for it at the play store, Google already published it there.
But if you meant stock LG apps, then I don't believe there is a way to use stock LG apps in an Aosp ROM such as Cyanogenmod/blisspop/AICP etc...
Have fun!

Thank for your reply!
1) This is not a widget. That's why i am asking if there any way to remove it.
2) I am using the launcher which come with BlissPop ROM. Should i use Nova instead ?
I was searching for stock LG Contacts and Dialer apps because i prefer them than Google's.
I prefer LG apps over the stock as well, but sadly, I did not manage to make them work in the BlissPop ROM.
And I recommend you to use a different launcher, as he said, Nova would suffice. But I personally preffer Apex Launcher, it just fits my style a bit more. Any of these two should be able to handle your situation anyway.

Yes, use Nova or Apex or whatever launcher you want, I prefer Nova. I've used so many launcher in the past but nothing could beat Nova IMO.
Even though I'm recommending Nova, witch will, by using it, remove that ugly "Get now cards" thingy, I'm gonna have to ask you to tell me what happens when you long press that thing? Does it say anything? Does it let you view "app info" or let you know what app that is?
And for the stock apps, I searched and tried some but none worked (as expected). That's why some people choose to stay with stock systems because of these apps. Personally I've gotten over that ;D

Purchased Nova Prime few minutes ago
Is there any way to install LG stock widgets like flashlight and RAM cleaner ?

You can set up task manager in your status bar, it should be in the blisspop settings, under status bar OR under the quick settings menu.
It will add a buttom for the task manager to your quick settings, see for yourself

A screenshot or something ? I can not find this option :/
Sure, Settings - Bliss interface - Notification drawer - Task manager.
When you turn that on, an icon will appear in your quicksettings (when you slide down notification bar completely, it will be next to the settings shortcut and battery shortcut).

Icons not changed after applying theme from there store

What the title says. I have nova launcher installed and none of the icons change after I apply a theme. In nova I selected "system" for the icon theme but that didn't help. The new theme icons appear only in the touchwiz launcher.
Anyone knows how I can have the new theme icons appear in nova?

I don't think you can with Nova for some reason, any time I use a theme from galaxy theme park or Samsung theme store it only changes the edge panel icons and notification shade. I usually find an icon pack for Nova that goes good with theme and just go from there.
Btw some great free themes here

It doesn't work like that...
Samsung themes won't change the icons when using Nova Launcher - only stock Samsung Launcher.
In order to change your icons with Nova, you have to go into Google Play Store and download/purchase Nova Launcher compatible icons.
if it's for the home screen(s), you can use Icon Changer Free. That should still work with Nova. But as far as the app drawer, I dont really know what to tell you. You're probably stuck with Nova-specific themes
I am aware that this is an S7 forum, however, that is happening to me as well. I also have Nova Launcher but used the theme app within the Note 8 to just change the icons and everything went smooth, all icons have changed except for 1 icon. When I try to edit the icon to change it to system since it is essentially a system icon, it doesn't change at all and I am unable to just manually change the icon to what it should be because it is part of the system and not a separate icon pack. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still the same thing. Any suggestions?
Sorry if my post shouldn't be here but when I googled about the situation, this forum came up. Please feel free to move it where it should be if necessary.
Update: I tried it again, but what I actually did was in the app drawer, I pulled the app search down, searched for the app, went to edit shortcut, clicked the icon and the icon shows up again, selected it and the system app automatically changed to the original system app.

Keeping Upday or Hello Bixby screen when using nova launcher

So I recently installed the s8 launcher on my s7 edge and am enjoying all the new style and bixby functio ality, however most of the icons are still from the s7 edge, the easiest way around this is to install nova launcher and customise it so it looks like the s8 but then you lose the bixby screen, is there anyway to get around this?
The other way to get the icons would be to download a theme, but i have no idea how to root my device and am scared to do it just incase something goes wrong.
1. Install activity Launcherhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
2. Open It and select All Activities
3. Scroll Up to Hello Bixby and Create shortcut for it to your homescreen
4. Enjoy ! Nova + Bixby
If design is so important check out the S8 theme in the Themes, Apps, Mods section.
Problem with using an activities app is that you dont get the full screen app like in standard touchwiz so is there anyway of making the app into a widget so that it can be made fullscreen?
Ive tried to download the theme,* but it keeps saying that the download failed? Is that because of my account status or the download link?
