One of my big issues with the Verizon version of the Note II is the lack of infinite scroll on the app drawer. You have to manually select widgets or apps and it makes no sense when you cannot do one handed actions very easily.
Is there or mod out or is anyone working on a mod to get the infinite scrolling on the Verizon version?

I just upgraded from a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959
running android 2.2 Bionix-v 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey.
On the Vibrant rom, When I click the apps icon on the bottom my apps appear and the apps scroll vertically.
Is it possible for this Samsung Galaxy S ii SGH-I777 to set to also scroll the apps vertically?
I believe you need to install a launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro to scroll the app drawer vertically.
If you open up the settings for the app drawer there is an option for view type, select alphabetical list and you will have vertical scroll.
settings for the app drawer? Where are the settings for the app drawer? How to access. I do not see anything called app drawer settings. Or are you talking about the Launcher Pro program?

open the app drawer and press the menu button. there is an option to have a list, instead of the grid. while the list does scroll vertically, it is individual, and not a 4x4 grid that will scroll like in sense. you can always try a 3rd party launcher, those will over ride the TW launcher and give you what you're looking for

Apps/Icons in drawer cannot scroll vertically unless you use a different launcher.
However you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically if you want to
change the view type to "Alphabetical List" where it has the icons on the
right side with full names of them in a row.
Go into the app drawer and click the menu key and select "view type" to
see what I meant.
I would suggest NOT to use a different launcher because the stock one
is a lot faster and very much smoother than any launcher I have tested
so far. (and I have tested just about all of them).
I am trying to get away from sense for obvious reasons. I'm only missing the friendstream, news, twitter scrollable widgets. Shopping revealed Pure Messenger/News widget as a viable option. Although to be useful to me it needs to be scrollable.
-Running CM7 nightlies #130
-ADW Launcher stock with CM7
-Verizon Droid Incredible 2
-Rooted, obviously.
Pure Messenger states that ADW is supported, but scrollable widgets must be enabled and it isn't currently. I find no setting for scrollable widget enable and the documentation for this version (latest) doesn't list it. However a previous version had a setting from what I find online. Maybe the non CM7 version?
Anyone have a solution for pure messenger or alternative app? I'm certain many people running CM7 desire these widgets so there must be a solution but a search didn't reveal anything within 6 months.
Note: I was having this same issue with other phones, and other launchers [read: go launcher, launcher pro], so this should apply to everyone. Including me when I buy the Galaxy Nexus upon release.

I love colorize widgets and android pro widgets (both very similar and have a nice timeline feature with the paid versions) adw does support scrolling widgets but I'm not sure if you need the ex version for that(that's the version I have) I also don't see a setting for it but both my colorize widgets and android pro widgets scroll automatically

I gave up on the Pure Widgets and went with Colorize. Scrolling works fine and I got the paid version and it looks really nice.
I thought the Pure Widgets were the most popular which would lead to less bugs and better support but obviously not.
Now the only problem is Colorize doesn't have a RSS feed selector or news widget like sense but I think I can get around it with customizing Google RSS feeds.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok, somebody should explain the need for scrollable widgets, or indeed most widgets, to me.
You swipe homescreens to get to the one you want, e.g Calender, Twitter.. and then you scroll it to find what you want etc...
Why not just open the Twitter or Calender app instead?
This sums up my pet peave with Android really. So much bloat. So much unnecessary carp. Why do one thing well when you can do it three different ways, badly.
I'm still not sold on the idea of multiple homescreens, in fact i'm as perplexed by the notion now as i was three years ago. Android has an app drawer. It has shortcuts for every app within. Open app drawer, select shortcut, use app! Why would i need shortcuts all over my homescreen?
And while i'm busy derailing the thread with my rant, what's with the honking great clocks and weather on the homescreens? There's a clock in the status bar and the weather is right outside. Use a window!
Obviously i'm in the minority here so i'll just crawl quietly back into my minimalistic hole. Good to get it off the chest though!
Running CM9 (coffeebeans 4/30 build with latest pershoot kernel) on wi-fi 10.1, using Apex Launcher Pro.
I really enjoyed the old app drawer that didn't eat up the entire screen. In the new update, the apps in the app drawer take up the whole screen (similar to Nova Launcher, very different from Trebuchet). This is annoying because I love tapping the left or right of the screen to fast-switch app drawer screens. Yes I know technically the feature is still there, but more often than not, I hit an app instead of making the screen change because the space is so small now (beefy thumb syndrome).
Anyone here know if there's an option to go back to the old app drawer look? I posted at the Apex forum, but that place is a ghost-town filled with pr0n

It's not go launcher, it's called next launcher. I've tried it yesterday, it's really nice and smooth, but I have a problem with every launcher other than stock, I miss sony's widgets, so every time I return to stock!
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere...through my Arc S!

I own a SM-G925I with Android 5.0.2 and am facing major scroll lag when having widgets that can scroll in the TouchWiz home screen. I was wondering if anybody is facing the same issue and if there is any fix I can apply to mitigate this problem. The lag appears only when scrolling the widget content and not the home pages or anything else.
The issue will not be there when I use a different launcher app like Nova or ActionLauncher. And I'm looking for a way to fix this while still using TouchWiz since this time around I really want to give TouchWiz a go rather than just swapping it out for a better launcher, since I feel that Samsung is at least trying to make their launcher match up to the competition.
Steps to re-create widget scroll lag:
1. Add "Music" app widget into a TouchWiz home screen page.
2. Touch and hold the "Music" widget and let go to get the resize lines enabled on the widget.
3. Now resize it height-wise until you can see the songs in the scroll pane on the widget.
4. Apply changes and try to scroll through the songs using the "Music" Widget to see if you have any lag.
This will happen no matter what widget I use, which has a scroll panel.
Thanks in advance guys!
