[Q] Can I rearrange my drawer?

Hey guys, I just upgraded my phone with axura 2.2 and it's pretty nice.
But, I want to move around the apps inside my drawer...but none of the launchers seem to have the capability.
ADWlauncher is ok...but you can't get rid of the group with all the apps on it.
LauncherPro is closest because you can hide apps...but still won't let me rearrange them.
and I like Zeam best...but still....can't do it
- Can someone make a link for the stock launcher that the vibrant comes with? or
- Show me a launcher that has this function.
Q&A please
for that it wouldbe easier if you downloaded a stock rom, extracted TWlauncher, and pushed it or Root Explorered the file into /system/app
I dont think any 3rd party launchers have this functionality
Have you tried golauncher from the market. Looks like it has that function.
sorry double post

Sense App Drawer

Is there a way to hide certain apps from the app drawer without rooting? I know there are different launchers that are able to do this but I like the stock Sense launcher.
Also, Is there a way to remove the recent apps from the notification bar?
Thanks in advance.

I could be totally wrong here but it seems like what you're asking for is going to require root.

Even if I rooted, I think the only way would be for me to use Root Explorer and renaming the .apk file to .bak... Unless anyone else knows of other methods?
Why do you want to hide them? Are you trying to hide bloatware w/o rooting?
I think rooting is going to be the way to go. Sure you can find some launchers that hide them, but Sense doesn't play nicely with them.
I use launcher pro (rooted, BeastMOD 1.3.1), so I have two docks with 5 icons each with a standard and a swipe gesture. i also have widgets for more important things, so the ONLY use I have for my app drawer is to access apps that I use relatively rarely.
For example, I have the Digital Clock widget on my home screen. I have zero use to look at an icon for it taking up space in my app drawer.
I have a similar (but different) question. Is is possible to organize the downloaded apps in the drawer in alphabetical order? It currently puts the most recently dl'd apps at the top, making finding apps a pain in the ass. My phone is stock and unrooted.

Without rooting I guess you must use some launcher with function to hide or grouping.
I used ADW EX and it caused no problem with stock Sense. With ADW you can set up groups and put apps that you don't like into a group and name it "junk" or something like that and never touching that group when open app drawer ...
Edit: Sorry for my replied making no sense since you stated that you wanted Sense ... Just disregard this post
Oh well...sense is too nice to give up for another launcher..

[Q] Putting Widgets in Notification Drawer

Hi guys.I want to ask if there's any app that can let me put widgets in the notification drawer.I'd love to have there widgets like weather,calendar and so on because my screens are filled up with them and they take too much space,so having them in one single place would be better.By widgets I don't mean "toggle widgets",I mean widgets installed from the market.I'm currently running CM9.Thanks and have a nice day!
Still nobody?
Like the "iPhone"?
Don't think its possible.
I have discovered a few apps that place their "widgets" in the notification drawer so it's not impossible.Here are some market links:

Actually, those aren't widgets, are simply notifications. There aren't any way to put a real widget in the notification drawer. If the developer wish something like that, then he should program it using a service and normal notifications.
Maybe Jelly Beans new notifactions could have some impact on this.
I really want high resolution UI
I hate black background in android
I want something like miui ROMs or iPhone UI

Help with Nova Launcher - 2 Questions

Hello,
I've just installed Nova Launcher Prime on my newly rooted GS2 (Slim Bean Rom) and i've two questions that i can't seem to find the answers for,
Firstly, Is there a option to add or enable a 'homescreen' icon at the bottom on the app drawer. I can't find anything in the settings.
Secondly, I'd like to know where to default icons for Nova are stored so i can edit a few of them and create new ones based off them. I know i can other icon pack/themes/png's etc but they're normally a little bit different and i'd like to have all my icons matching, just being anally retentive i guess.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Thanks

Recents apps or task switcher, general questions (modification/skin)

I'm trying to understand how the recent apps screen works in android. I really like the card-style recent apps used in HTC sense. Unfortunately, I've never seen an alternative rom or some app be able to do this. So, I want to know, is the recent apps/task switcher based on an apk somewhere in the system? Is it possible to modify the recent apps easily with an alternative apk or something? How would you go about getting the sense recent apps under a different phone?
