I have seen many ICS versions and they all have 5 thumbnails..Why does mine have four?
what thumbnail?

Sir, are you referring to the column of icons that can be placed on your screen?
Yes I am talking about how after you unlock your phone and there are buttons such as contacts and applications. I updated mine through Odin and there are only 4 buttons not five as I usually see on ICS and graphically ithasn't changed much also I am now having problems with my WIFI button on the pull down notification place. It seems I may have installed a crap firmware

use a custom launcher if you want more than 4
It sounds like you installed the official Samsung ICS update, which has TouchWiz. Which will have 4 dock shortcuts. But were expecting the AOSP launcher, which has 5 dock shortcuts. As RoRo1990 said, just install a launcher. Like Apex or Trebuchet.
EDIT: Also, you should note that official Samsung releases, since they have TouchWiz, won't look too different from the previous version.

I'm running the latest CM7 nightly on my Droid Incredible. I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro, but at the end of the day I always go back to the stock Gingerbread launcher. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only complaint is that that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I would like seven. A Google search brought me to a launcher2 mod over on XDA that has seven home screens, but whenever I press the phone shortcut I get a message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone" (the mod is from the Samsung Epic 4G, I believe it's looking for the Touchwiz dialer and not the stock Gingerbread dialer). Would it be possible to mod the stock Gingerbread launcher to have seven screens and a working phone shortcut?

Did you try to push the file using root explorer or just install the apk the normal way... the instructions say to push it via root explorer.
Hit thanks if I helped please!

I pushed with root explorer. I think the problem is that the launcher is looking for the Touckwiz dialer, not the stock Gingerbread dialer.

I've been using my new launcher since yesterday and it's great, though I've found one small problem. starts, like when I power my phone back on in the morning, the widgets on the two home screens on the far right disappear. Again, this is a small problem and other then than that the launcher works perfectly.

Hey guys,
I saw a video on youtube by qbking77(?something like that) of him reviewing the official leak ICS build for SPRINT's SGS2.
He found that by clearing the defaults for Twlauncher apk, pressing home button will give you two options for the launcher, Touchwiz 4.0 and STOCK ICS. I thought this was pretty neat.
Can anyone confirm that AT&T's OFFICIAL LEAK stores inside it the STOCK ICS LAUNCHER too?
I myself have a GT-i9100, btw. was just wondering if that is possible. Thanks guys!
Removing the launcher and not having a fallback will get you nowhere.
He probably hand Trebuchet or similar installed, unless carriers are including Market apps. (Doubtful)

Nono not removing it, just clearing defaults from the app options.
And no, it was called "launcher"
And he went from stock tw launcher to stock ics google launcher
And he said sprint/samsung have included this.

Hi, I just upgraded to ICS and I noticed that many of the new changes in ICS are not available or look different on GalaxyS2. Is this because of Touchwiz?
I also tried swiping along to get to the "widget" area, to no avail.
Also, I tried pinning a calender widget to one of my home screens, but it doesn't have the updated Google widget. It just has the Agenda widget. It has the "contacts" widget that looks like the updated ICS google version, but no cal.
What's up with this?
I'm new to Android so my apologies if these are no brainer questions.
Thanks!
Are you sure it actually updated? Go into Settings/About Phone and under "Android Version" what does it say? If it doesn't say 4.x.x then it didn't actually do the upgrade. Otherwise...IDK. lol

Lol...well i could say Google touchwiz, but not sure you would. The reason its different is because Samsung puts their own launcher on their phone that customized the look and feel of the phone and creates their vision of what your phone should look like. In short most around here agrees it sucks. If you want a more traditional look either download a new launcher like nova or start learning how to instal custom rooms.
Everyone get ready for a flood of these kinds of threads. Now we get to play clean up as the masses that for some ungodly reason updated via kies instead of downloading a cwm zip. Or waiting. Or not upgrading at all. I wouldn't care except now there's gonna be 50 bajillon new threads. Sigh.

Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.

Is there a flashable zip for floating multi-windows on VZW GN2? I searched and found a couple of threads but they seemed somewhat complicated and quite buggy. I had this feature on my GS3 with Synergyrom and loved it, I'm sure it would be even nicer on the bigger screen. Sorry if there is a simple answer that I overlooked.
Here is a simple way of getting floating multi Window. I know of no other mods at this time.

Is it because it's built into the rom that it works so well on Synergy for the GS3? If so is it something that can be done for GN2? I ask because I don't fully understand what can just be flashed and what has to be built in to the framework of the rom to make it work properly.

Ihave the same problem, but I deal with the three shortcuts instead of five. Then I use an spp to control jist the lockscreen rotation. Im my opinion, the benefits far outweigh losing two shortcuts.
You can also change the dpi if you want all of your shortcuts as lpng as you can deal with smaller icons.
