Hi,
I am on ICS and my application drawer is in a mess and all by its own doing. And it's really slow and painful to arrange the apps again, as I have well ovr 100 apps.
Can someone please suggest if there is a app which can auto arrange the drawer, something like what one can do on a windows desktop.
Thanks,
Vishal

Change your launcher. I recommend Go launcher ex or apex launcher.
Trust me, you will appreciate this advise until you've tried it.
Good luck

When i am in my app drawer i have a menu with the ability to arrange my apps from a-z or vice versa. Have you tried clicking menu and checking to see if you have that option?
HTC Sensation z710e
ICS 4.0.3
Sense version 4.0
Software Sense-o-maniac v1.4
Kernel. 3.0.30 Bricked v1.4

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me try that.

I think that is sense ui doing as samsung does not believe in that piece of functionality.

Or just use Nemus Launcher to hide the App that you don't use, and have less icons visible.
I use appzorter for my tw launcher. You can try if you are using tw launcher.

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.
Did you change permissions ?

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.

Can you try clearing launcher data? That may fix it.

I cleared launcher data and unfortunately the problem still persists.
EDIT-The widgets also disappear if I connect my phone to my computer and turn on USB storage.

K. Could be some code I missed. Will look at it later. Although I'm pretty sure widgets were sticking on screen 6 fine for me earlier when I was using it.

Thanks in advance. I'll just keep putting my widgets back until the problem gets sorted out.

Hi there,
Do anyone know if it's possible to remove the Buttom pop-up bar.
I'd like to use WizzBar, but after installing Wizzbar, I now have the default one and Wizzbar poping up :-(
Sorry but no there is no way to remove it.

I am incorrect, I just noticed a new app.
How do you change the icons on this thing (task manager, calendar, world clock etc)? Surely it's configurable ....

That's terrible Are there any mods or anything to get rid of it, or force changes or something? That's pretty weird that they didn't just make it configurable. What's the thinking behind that?
I am just guessing but I don't believe the "mini" apps on the touchwiz taskbar are like regular apps. Regular apps can't be used in a multitasking way like the touchwiz "mini" apps on the taskbar, which is why you can't place your own apps there. I believe Samsung would have to develope more "mini" apps first.
If you get one of the android launchers from the market like launcher pro or adw ex, they each have docks that you can place your own apps on. On adw ex you can even have the dock rise up and disappear like touchwiz's taskbar.

The pop-up touch wiz/apps bar is just annoying I only ever use it for task manager I wish you could not have it and just have tas man as an app or widget. The bar only over pops up when I accidentaly press it when playing a game. It's totally rubbish since the apps are not configurable.
Samsung take it off and/or make it configurable it's the biggest bug bear I have with Samsung tabs.

As my title states, I wanted to find an launcher that has the card stack transition in the app drawer, to give it a more ics look. By the way, keep in mind that I'm looking for a launcher in Gingerbread. Otherwise, I would have gotten Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher etc..
Thanks
So anyone? Anything at all would be helpful.
That's hard!! Why not upgrading to ics? Any reason?

Well I have a couple of reasons. The main reason is scrolling. In every version, its sticky or it scrolls too much. I'm trying to be patient and wait for CheckRom's ICS release, which by the way I know will be stable and smooth scrolling for sure. But could you tell me why would adding a card stack transition in some kind of a popular launcher, hard? Is there some kind of a copy rights against it? (Sounds stupid I know)
Thanks!

if scrolling seems to be your issue, u can try spike 7.1 with siyah 3 beta7. perfect. you can also wait for some better version if you wish.
regarding stack animation it is hard in the sense that all the popular launchers might have other top priorities in their todo list.

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.
It's not even funny to post "Rom Challenge " in android development section.
That's my mistake I will withdraw the post. Thanks.

ie i mean i cant find the short cut to apps u get on the old version this is like the MIUI or the apple launcher can any one kindly guide me on the same
not realy all that confy with this new kitkat launcher from lenovo
The new OS has no app drawer, you have everything on the home screen like an iPhone. I like this more than having an app drawer but if not, you can try something like Nova Launcher or go back to 4.2 Jellybean.
