hi folks, quick one: if i'm using a non-default launcher (say, apex) with an AOSP ROM (say, slimbean), would it be safe to delete the default launcher (say, holo)?

Yes....buuuuut it's always worth having a spare launcher just in case main one crashes(very unlikely).....just my humble opinion
freeze holo (with TB) if you're worried it will interfere or take up ram (although it shouldn't)

Does anyone know if there is an app that saves the desktop settings of the Samsung S2 (ie shortcuts to apps on the 7 screens)?
It is annoying to redo the favorites everytime I flash a new ROM.

..Titanium Backup? Saves app shortcuts fine for me, just not widgets.

Just backing up your launcher settings (with Titanium) should do just that.
Okay. I have titanium premium. Which of the list options do you restore? Is it under system or apps and what will be the name of the Launcher option containing the saved settings?

In titanium backup go to "back up section" and back up "Twlauncher"
Does titanium backup on launchers also work with widgets?

No it doesn't
but the fraggOr hacked TW4.5 if your rooted has a back up and restore function I have 6 or 7 launchers installed and I always end up back at that one it still have some bugs but you can even install the sgs1 buddies now widget which I love.
Whats the big difference between the stock launcher and nova launcher that comes with aokp ms6. Been using the stock launcher and was nervous about loosing all my screens by switching to nova.
So whats the pros/cons and which do u prefer ???

IMHO.....Nova is far better.....
more customization options.....and tbh, its just a lot easier to use.

Hey, I was wondering how do you add apps to the launcher at the bottom by the app drawer buttons the home screen? I took out messaging and internet by accident and now I don't know how to add it back, thanks

Just drop and drop when you are in home screen, so make sure the apps are on current home screen (I'm pretty sure I don't use TW launcher)

If you are still using the stock launcher, I would highly recommend to change it. You won't have to root just download it of the market. Best launcher for SIII is Nova. Try it, it will let you have 6 icons vertically on the screen and so much more.
Good luck

I think the toichwiz folders are ugly and don't want to use a different launcher. Any mods to use the regular ICS style folders?

when using a different launcher is there a good method to keep TW from hogging the memory?
HTC One S via XDA
Adwlauncher allows you to customize how folders look.

I can confirm this does work with the recent 4.1.2 deodexed rom. It does however kinda scrunch the touchwiz launcher at the dock. That is why I'm running holo for the time being. Anybody know how to modify the touchwiz ui for the navbar?

Also if there's a way to edit the brightness of the navbar?

Also noticed that the navbar cuts off some apps. Example. The phone app it cuts off the 3 bottom buttons
