[Q] How to add fonts to the Settings Menu in TouchWiz - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The TouchWiz update brought the ability to change font is the settings menu. I think there are 3 or 4 to choose from.
How can I add more to the list?
Is there a fonts folder I can just drop a certain type of file into?

The Tab uses Flipfonts, same as the Galaxy phones and Tab 7.
You can buy them on the Market, and XDA users have made them. Search the Galaxy S Themes subforums for the free ones.

Where to get standart launcher?

Do a search for TouchWiz launcher?
If you check in the Super Clean thread, adrynalyne posted the Touchwiz launcher packaged with the stock widgets. It's labeled "eb01_touchwiz.zip"
If this doesn't replace the stock launcher, it should make the stock launcher a second launcher option. If this happens, you will get two options when you press the home button. There is a checkbox below these saying something like "use this as the default for this action." Check this box before selecting the Touchwiz launcher option, and you won't see that selection again.
If for some reason you want to go back to the other launcher (or you have set a default for other functions - browser, music, etc.), you can clear it by going into System -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find the Touchwiz launcher (or whatever you've set as default), and then press "Clear Defaults."
Thanks, this helps.
But on my second phone, captivate, running andromeda I have 3 app list mode. List view, customized grid view and alphabetical grid view.
What is the version?

That would be the captivate's TouchWiz Launcher, you can find them in Stock ROM images for the captivate. Each Galaxy S Touchwiz is a little bit different. As an alternative, there are modded versions based on the Captivate TW, one by GTG, thread found in the i9000 forum, and one by myself found in the Themes and Apps of the Fascinate forum.
I use sgs tools to load up one of various twlaunchers that support exactly what you wish
If you need this pm me your email and I'll hook you up.

[Q] Organising the App Drawer

On the S2, it seems when you remove an app, the app drawer doesn't re-org it just leaves a gap meaning it has to be manually sorted. Is there a way to automatically sort it other than using the list view?
I also have a similar question to this that I can't find the answer to anywhere..
Basically I have the same problem with around 9 app drawers half filled. I could sit here for an hour dragging each app icon, one at a time, to other app drawers to consolidate them into less drawers but it's very tedious and annoying to do this.
In some apps, I can select multiple icons (such as multiple pictures) and then move them all to another folder, or perform an action on all the selected icons; I can't seem to find a way to do this with my non-rooted SGS2.
I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to set categories and then assign app icons to those categories and then be able to sort all my icons based on the different categories... again, I've not had any success finding an app like that...
...so I've ended up here, on XDA Forums, to ask the people who know more than me.

you have let me think 3 options or maybe two...either download appzorter application from the market..that basically will sort all your applications in alphabetical order and also the folders you create. then if you have gaps it will sort that for you as well and fill the empty spaces.
or second option use a different launcher from the market and it sorts the icons and folders for you.
one launcher that lets you organize your apps into categories i think its either nova launcher or 360 launcher..no need to be rooted or anything like that to be able to use those apps. good luck let me know how you guys get on
Thanks, I have the EX Launcher.. but I don't like it because I have to setup the home screen gain and I had trouble finding the same widgets I had on the out-of-the-box launcher.. maybe I will try again one day.. but for now I will have a look at appzorter to solve my immediate annoyances
+1 for Appzorter
Why Samsung didn't include this function is beyond me.

[Q]Galaxy S3 Japan SC-06D No Widget Tab

How do I get to my Widgets tab?
I just bought a new Galaxy S III SC-06D from Docomo. When I press the applications button I only get an 'Application' and 'Recommends' tab, no 'Widgets' tab (this is obviously Docomo's custom interface since the 'Recommends' tab is just a bunch of junk apps the provider wants me to install).
The only things I have done to the S3 since I bought it are flash it to the newest version with Samsung Kies, change the language to English, and delete the Homescreens and Apps that my provider installed, and make a new blank home screen. I did not and do not want to root the device (despite wanting to get rid of some of the Docomo junk).
I am new to ICS so it is entirely possible I am missing something very obvious.
*Edit* I fixed the issue on my own. While I was under the impression that my device was using the TouchWiz Launcher (the default UI that comes on any Galaxy S III), Docomo had installed their own crummy launcher called 'Docomo Palette UI' which is specifically designed so that users cannot customize anything and have to see a bunch of Docomo sales stuff.
If anyone else ever has this same problem and sees this thread, just go 'Settings' (the gear icon that appears when you slide your finger from the top edge of the screen)-> Home Selection -> And choose TouchWiz home. You should get the option to set it as the default Launcher after choosing it.

Apex icon pack coding help

I have made an apex icon pack and am trying to do an update because the coding on some of the activities were wrong. I've fixed everything but the people app and camera app. I've put many different activities name but no matter what it will not replace those icons. I am on a Samsung Galaxy SIII by the way running Liquid Smooth JB. Does anyone know what activity name I definitely should be using for these two apps?

[Q] Widget Configs and File Types

I've been using Themer since it first was availible, and I adore customising my phone. The most recent update has changed some things around and it's gotten me a bit confused, though. I was using one theme for a very long time so I hadn't noticed until now.
I went to edit the colours for some widgets in the Theme that I downloaded and the files are all literally just "file" type files? They don't open with Zooper (and I'm not sure how to make it so they do, since when I go to Save a widget it gives no options for files types, etc) and I have no idea how I would go about editing them on my PC. The options given in the Everything Widget configurations don't give me what I need (they are shapes/images? that I need to change and therefore there are no colour options for them).
I recall being able to open widgets with Zooper much simpler than now; which I'm really unsure of how to do at the moment.
For a reference, I have fully updated apps (Themer, Zooper Pro, etc) and I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
