Hello,
I just recently got the GS3(not rooted, stock everything) and was wondering if the apps located on the bottom taskbar and also the apps shortcuts located on the lock screen can be replaced with a widget? The reason I ask is because of the stock messaging app. The one good feature about this app is that on the lock screen it'll let you know how many unread messages you have by showing a number on the icon for the app. However, I'm not a fan of the app itself(regarding how it interprets picture messages) therefore I've installed GO SMS which was my messaging app from my old Incredible. Unfortunately if you replace the stock messaging app with the GO SMS app on the bottom taskbar and lock screen it will not show how many missed messages you have on the GO SMS icon. However, if you just place the GO SMS widget on any screen the widget will show how many missed messages you have. I've tried all options I can think of but when you drag a widget down to the taskbar it won't go in like the app would nor do I have the option of putting a widget on the lock screen(settings/lock screen/lock screen options/shortcuts). Any suggestions or would this require a root?
Thanks
not in the stock launcher or lockscreen.
you can use Nova and widget locker
Anyone know a way to set up a double tap gesture toopen the app drawer? Usually use Nova but i like the stock drawer but not the location
I wanted to create Image on Widget and on tapping it, need to open app drawer. While going to actions, there is no any option for app drawer to keep. There are apps and activities only.
Can it be disabled?
UPDATE: The app drawer can be disabled. In the Settings app, go to Home Screen, then choose Apps Only Mode. This will disable the app drawer, and all apps will appear on the home screen.
UPDATE 2: The app drawer cannot be disabled. Sorry for the confusion, guys. I must've misremembered...
Yep, that's Interesting to me also.because miui without app drawers way more convenient
You can install the MIUI launcher from Xiaomi and choose as default.

I cannot find this setting in the current version.
Is there any other method to make appear (bulk copy) the apps on the drawer to the launcher?
Hello , i don’t have this setting too... is it possible to remove that app drawer?
I wanted to share an issue that puzzled me for a while. I had issues with App Shortcuts not working. I tried different launchers, and I could not get long presses to give me the shortcuts, for example for Play Store or Settings.
It turns out that a launcher can only show app shortcuts if it's set as the default launcher (in Settings > Apps > Gear Icon > Home App).
So, if launcher long presses, aka. App shortcuts do not work for you, check your default launcher.
