Hey
You can use a launcher like nova or apex the can do it

Yeah use nova launcher i use it and it works and the good thing is that you can restore your full layout from your TouchWiz launcher so you dont need to worry about putting all your widgets..apps and all that in your homescreens again! Nova Launcher is by far my favorite launcher i tried Apex,ADW , Go launcher but none was as good as Nova.

ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.

The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!

so happy adw icon is gone
I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
Might be switching back to adw ex
I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
Difficult Decision
I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.
So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
Finaaally
Trying it out right now
sorry
Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
new version is great.
Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets.
I couldn't think it was possible but it is again smoother than before ...... hurray
widgets like youtube and market dont work well on it
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.

Is there a trial version of ADW EX? I can't find one.

Dont think so.
BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?
Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.
Is there a setting for this ?
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
Okay I've looked for this for about a half hour and couldn't find anything so I'm sorry if this has already been asked.
I downloaded go launcher ex so that I could have the scrolling dock. I don't necessarily need the scrolling part but would like 5 icons. How do I get the 5 icons and still have the fancy new "add to home screen" pop up window still at the bottom? I don't like the one that pops up in the middle of the screen.
I am still a noob, so plz explain any answers. Thank you
I am Rooted and have Root Explorer

You cannot change the amount of icons in the dock using the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher.
There are a lot of launchers to choose from which do have the option you
are looking for, however I would suggest NOT to use a different launcher
because the stock Touchwiz 4 is a lot faster and much smoother than any
other launcher I have tested so far. (and I have tested just about all of them).
I am using ADW Ex with the black glass theme dockbar(i think, i do know that black glass does have 5 icons). And my icons are from various adw themes for the colors. Adw is very very smooth and I don't mind giving up touchwiz for more customization.

GTG mentioned that someone has a tweaked version of TW4 that has 5 Icons. Not sure if it works well on the GSII but he mentioned it in his rom thread. Pretty sure it's on page 1 or 2.
Thanks so much everyone. I'll look into the touchwiz 4 tweak. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Hey Guys,
I am in dire need of a launcher I like. I have a Galaxy S II i9100 running CM10. The only Launcher I have used that I love 100% is TouchWiz ironically... But the battery control is too poor to justify a switch back to Stock Roms (And no Jelly Bean!?)
I have tried the extracted TouchWiz launchers and they provide everything I want but all of them crash far to often...
So I am looking for a launcher that will meet my desires (I am willing to pay for it).
1) App View type Ordered List of Apps in Alphabetical Order. (Not the 4x4 grid I want the 1x30 ordered list)
2) Pinch Zoom of the Home Screens to view all home-screens
3) Re-sizable widgets
Thanks Guys,
Joshua Puckett

I looked at Nova a while back, I will re-download it and check it out, thanks. I seem to remember that I couldn't do a list style, Attached is a screenshot of the feature mentioned in 1)... it is the one I want the most.
EDIT: Confirmed that Nova doesn't have the Ordered List feature. Thanks for the advice though.

So, been trying like hell to figure out how to add an extra page or two to the stock LG launcher!! Can anyone give me a clue as to what to use? I would like to be able to stick with the stock launcher, as it just seems to fly compared to Apex or any other launcher out.

You should be able to hit the home button (when you're at the home screen) and it'll show all the pages. I have Nova launcher on my OG and I can't complain.

Mine does not do that. Nova launcher does tho. So does Apex. I just really want to add 1 more page to the launcher!
Pinch your screen. (Gesture)

Sorry, it's been a while since I've used the stock launcher.
Just pinch your screen to zoom out.. If you have room for more screens you'll see the + icon. I've been told the stock limit is 7 pages so if you're trying to go beyond that you may be SOL. You could always try a launcher if you're not too attached to the home launcher. I haven't tested how many screens are possible with it though.
Hi guys this might be a noob question but I am running kitkat on my Galaxy s4 with root access and safestrap. I am trying to get a 5 x 6 app drawer without having to use a different launcher because I like the touchwiz launcher. From the research that I have done Seclauncher3.apk is located under system\priv-app and not under system\apps but all the mods out there point to apps directory. The ones that do point to the right location touchwiz stops responding and so do all the apps. Does any one have any ideas on how to go about this?

Hi hdirani,
I would change your launcher if you would like to do that because most likely if you mess with the touchwiz launcher it can get severely damaged in a matter of seconds. I reccomend Nova Launcher if you would like to have that kind of app drawer though. Messing with TouchWiz can always be damaging to your device and is a unnecessary waste of time to go through its files.
Thank you for the quick response. Is there any way to get scalender and the accuweather widget to work with the nova launcher.

There is a normal widgets menu in the launcher, so you can add those in just like you would in TouchWiz.
