[Q] ICS appdrawer - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i hate the ics app drawer, because it's sorted by name
i like an app drawer that is like the touchwiz one, so that you can choose the order of the apps by yourself.
is ther an option to make this in any its rom or any ics launcher?
thank you!

Install a new launcher.

I can't tell you which one you'll like. Search the "Play Store" (formerly known as Market) for "launcher". You'll have your pick. Install and test until you find on you like.

Dude, clearly you can't read, either.
Look - if you are dissatisfied with how your app drawer currently functions, try changing the settings. If you can't get the app drawer to how you like it, then INSTALL ANOTHER LAUNCHER to change your app drawer.
This isn't rocket science. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I've basically said the exact same thing in three posts.

sorry am a noob...
and how can i change the app drawer without changing the homescreen????

Can't I'm afraid. Installing a new launcher will mean that you have to add shortcuts and widgets back to the home screen. However if you switch back to the stock launcher they will still be there. Aftermarket launchers also handle the home screens.

If you mean how the wallpaper scrolls with home screens, then I know you can use Nemus launcher and that's an option in the settings.

Nothing i've ever heard of. There's no good reason not to install another Launcher that has this option though. Launcher Pro or ADW are probably the favourite choices.

Try the OGQ background app, with it you can choose scrolling/nonscrolling etc...
It's awesome.
You can find it in the market, backgrounds by OGQ

Yes... This app has an option to do that...
Did you not read my post.
You can use this so to set wallpapers you already have too by going into gallery, closing set as, and them picking this app out of the list.
Wallpapyrus gives the options to have iPhone like wallpaper (ie no scrolling)

Apex is by far the best of the AOSP-look launchers.
Thank you. Nova Launcher is very smooth and fast except when you fill a page of apps and slide from a page to another. Can you tell me if is it possible change lockscreen to another similar Cyanogenmod 9 to?

Looking for a launcher with folders in a drawer

I really like the new TW launcher in latest leaked JB and I would use it on daily basis if it would support multi dpi settings.. but it doesn't so I'm looking for a launcher that is similar to TW.
Specifically I'm looking for a launcher that as smooth as Apex or Nova but but supports folders within application drawer. The only I know of is GO but its so overloaded that I don't want to use it really. Apex, Nova don't support folders in a drawer do they. I've got 100+ apk on my phone so don't want to scroll through them each time i'm looking for something.
And there as dozens on the market so don't fancy installing every single launcher just to check whether it supports folders or not.
Any suggestions anyone?
The stock launcher support folder in app drawer but I think it's buggy (some apps get scattered on reboot for me). The paid version of nova support folders too, idk about apex.

Sorry, but Go Launcher takes up a LOT of space. I'm suffering from the same problem.

Yup, Nova Launcher Prime says that it has folder support, didn't test it yet.
Nova launched prime defo has folders in app drawer and they work well

As I said stock TW is good for me but doesn't support 180 dpi which I'm using at the moment.
Thank you for directing me to Nova. Had prime for long time but didn't realized it supports folders. It's going to be my main launcher for now, folders works really good and its blazing fast, just as TW on JB.

[Q] transparent APP DRAWER background

Hey guys. I've been searching a way to make the CM 10.1 app drawer background become transparent. Can someone help me out?
I've followed some tuts (such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835833) but they only teach how to make the notification bar transparent.
Thanks

I've tried launchers before. They worked, but I'd like to edit Trebuchet. I'd like to use default launcher. I'm not really into launchers

Apex and nova both have this option and are both based on the stock launcher, they just have a lot more features. They look identical to stock if all you change is the drawer transparency

Try both they both offer virtually the same features I use nova launcher, but thats cos I got the prime version in an app sale
Nova(https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=nova+launcher)
Apex ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=apex+launcher)

Both have free versions and an add on that costs money but adds lots of features

[Q] cm 11 How to get customizable grid?

In the app drawer? There aren't many launchers that have that feature. Buzz Launcher is one I can think of off the top of my head, but is focused on themes / customizeableness. Most launchers can sort different ways in the app drawer via most used, time installed, alphabetical, etc but if you want like 7 apps on this page and 20 on the next and 5 on the 3rd in the app drawer etc, your options are limited.
