[Q] Pausing Live Wallpaper when opening app drawer?

Hi. I recently tried to find out from the LauncherPro forum if there is a way to rectify a lag problem when using Live wallpaper and the app drawer but apparently there is just no way? I'm having trouble believing and thought I'd post it here.
Basically, if using a live wallpaper, the app drawer is REALLY choppy/laggy and skips frames. I was thinking perhaps if there is a way to "pause" the LWP or something like that when pulling the app drawer.
This is the original topic from the LauncherPro forum:
http://launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1890

The very reason I stopped using LiveWallpapers.
All fine and dandy showing off when iPhone users are around, but disabling LWP brings my TAB back to silky smooth operation.

[Q] sense + appdrawer

hey,
I wanna ask if it was possible to have HTC sense with a custom, more customizable app drawer like all the other home replacement app's app drawer. Cause i really want a more customizable app drawer without losing my sense widgets.

I'm afraid it cannot be done without major modifying of the ROM, which isn't easy.

You can try All Apps organizer.
It helps you customize the output and manage your apps by type.
But with sense enabled you won't have many customization on their stock app drawer.
You could also use a home app that looks alike and highly customizable (LauncherPro, adw.Launcher or go launcher....)

yea i'm using go launcher now. but im missing my sense widgets. just too refined. all apps organiser is it an app drawer or just an application?

You can find fine widgets for everything out there
Take a look at All App Organize
But don't you have one with goLauncher? I'm using LauncherPro and you can customize it.

[Q] Hide Apps in App Drawer?

Okay, so I know this has been asked before, I've been searching XDA and googling and have found some threads on the topic, but most of them are old and unresolved. So I'm reaching out to see if maybe there's a new development that I haven't been able to find.
Is there any known way to HIDE apps from the app drawer of a stock launcher? I know that Launcher Plus Pro and some other home replacements have this feature built in, but I'm using Virtuous Unity and am really happy with Sense 3.0 at the moment.
It seems like such a basic function, I can't believe there's a) no native feature to do this; and more surprisingly b) there's no 3rd party app that will do this?
I've found some apps that 'hide' your drawer apps (i.e. Hide It Pro) but this not only hides the app from the drawer, but makes it so you can only launch the hidden app from within the app that's hiding it (meaning you have to go into Hide It Pro to launch the hidden app).
I'm using wave launcher and swipepad for my most used apps and games, and would ideally like to remove these apps from the app drawer so they're not cluttering it up, but STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE APPS from the alternate launcher/shortcuts. With Hide It Pro I was able to remove the apps from the app drawer, but was then unable to launch that app from wave launcher for example.
My reasoning for wanting to do this is not confidentiality/privacy, but rather just to clean up my drawer/app system. Ideally I want my most used apps to be accessed via the secondary launchers (wave and swipepad) and just have the other, less-used apps in the app drawer. Is this possible?

at the moment, I dont think its possible...but I may be wrong. the best current solution would be to use a diff launcher, but yeah it sucks because all the sense widgets would disappear when trying to add them to homescreens (but the apps still work fine). keep us updated if you find a solution, I would like to know as well

Unfortunately I did not find a way to do it too. I am using Go Launcher EX. It can hide apps from the drawer, and still you can launch them from the home screen or elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah from my research it doesn't really seem possible. It seems like it should be a pretty basic function but oh well. Thanks anyway guys.

This might be of interest to you. [APP][30 JUL]ALTDRAWER 0.7.1 Alternative APP DRAWER [Perfect for MIUI] [Many options] - xda-developers http://bit.ly/qvK3KS

Thanks for that, I came across that during my research. Seems cool and if it replaced the default app drawer I'd be all over it. But I don't want a homescreen icon as my app drawer. But thanks for the suggestion!!

search background from apps screen

I saerch the screen background image file from apps. in which. apk is splashing around and how they say?
many thanks

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.
Do you want to know where you can modify the background of the app drawer?
If that's your question, use go launcher, i think you can change the background somewhere there but not in launcher pro or ADW.
Altough i believe ADW has an option to set the app drawer to be transparent so you can partially see your homescreen.

Replacement launcher with split screen?

Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks

Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)

I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

hello whats actually my problem i try run the same app 2 times with island app but it doesnt let me put in split screen so i have the one app full screen and the main one not cloned floating mode but i am looking for a way to run both in split can work with your way ?

I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
