[Q] Clean up app menu - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there is any app which can clean up the applications menu?
Or know an easy way to do this?
For example, I've removed some apps I don't use and its left blank spaces in the pages of the app menu.
I know I could tidy it up the long way by moving all the apps back a page but would be better if there was an easier way to do this that's not so time consuming!!
Any ideas?

Try Appzorter from the market.

How to remove extra maps links in app drawer

I was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to remove those links in the app drawer to those maps functions which include latitude, navigation, and places. I don't want to get rid of these features, I just want to get rid if the links to them that are in the app drawer.

If you're using LauncherPro, you can elect to hide apps from the drawer. Go to preferences>General Settings>Hidden Apps - from there you can select which ones you want hidden.
Unfortunately I'm using touch wiz...i guess I'm one of the few that don't mind it.it's a modded version from the sXe rom, but still it doesn't have a hide function as fast as I know

So you're the one using touchwiz...I heard there was someone out there. haha
The only thing I can do to "help" you then is to plug LauncherPro. It's free (I haven't found a need for the paid version yet), and the customizability is second to none. What hooked me was the "swipe gesture action" for the dock icons. Look it up - you may be sold.
AND - back on topic - it'll solve your app hiding issues.
Good luck!

Creating custom shortcut to notification window

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to create a custom shortcut to pull down the notification bar/window. I like to have the thing him hidden but am looking for a quicker way to access it than hitting menu doftkey and selecting notifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use ADW EX.
It has swipe gestures that will do what you want. Pretty amazing app. Other launchers may do this, but I can only confirm ADW EX. It's the best launcher, IN MY OPINION. Others may have another fav (mainly b/c they don't like giving a developer $3).
I use LP Pro..so it's not that I don't want to spend the 3 bucks. More like I put my money on a different racehorse.
What I'm asking is definitely possible, theres already a shortcut it's just in the menu. I just can't figure out how to pull it out and use it.
Edit: I was able to bind tje home button to opening the notification bar...it's not how I wanted to do it but it works. Would still like to see if anyone knows how to create a shortcut for it.

I use LP too. I have one of my swipe gestures on my dock icons set to open notifications.

[Q] Change bottom 4 icons?

Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

touchwiz 4.5/tw launcher - organize app ideas?

how do you guys sort your apps in folder and app drawer?
im currently running touchwiz 4.5 from task650 ics'd out v5 rom and app sorting only works within each grid. i want all the apps with all the grids to be sorted alphabetically.
Are there also no way to sort in folders?
appzorter doesnt work for touchwiz 4.5.
i want to know your ideas.
You need to open the app drawer. Menu button then edit. You have to manually organize your apps in alphabetical order. I have always been able to move apps to different drawer screens. When you download a new app just move it into place.
I know about that. I just thought there might be something i missed or an automatic way.

So in the Play Store app, in settings, you UNchecked the option "Auto-add shortcuts"? I ask, because you said you unchecked "create shortcut", but I don't have that option with that exact name on my phone...
is it the same app creating shortcuts or all the apps you [email protected]?
if it is one app, if it creats shortcut everytime you run it, it is created by application. If it creates sjortcut everytime you downloaded and inatalled it, it is created by play market.
are you using touch wiz home or 3rd party home app?if it is 3rd party home and was told no room on screen while actually you have, there may be some incompatibily and you can try other home app or report the issue to developer.
