I don't think apps do that...that's more of an operating system thing...unless you search for some launchers on the Google play market....but don't forget to also download a launcher/home switcher if you want to use the previous launcher back again
but if you really want customizable features..you may need to get a custom ROM. thus rooting may be compulsory during the procedure

are there any launchers that can adopt the deafult icon placement system as the way it has been placed in the stock lik all my icons should b in the same order without me arranging it???

not sure what you mean by "default icon placement system" do you mean icons on the home screens?? if yes then I think you may have to re add them... have you heard of Go Launcher??? very famous..go see it in action maybe on YouTube if available....I think it's one of the most customizable and supports themes too

Buttom bar

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.

Rom Challenge

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.

This is probably the best for you

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.

That depends on the launcher.
I find Widgetsoid is a good app for this.

yeah i know, but since alot of people use custom launchers that (most of them) support icon changes on homescreen, it's an easier, faster way. just fyi for all people here using i.e. nova that they dont have to go through all of this.

Pop up widget. Don't know if I'll use this for ever but I'm enjoying it right now.
In essence it allows you to put shortcuts to widgets on it your home screen. When selected the widget appears with an attractive animation.
I have gone from six screens to one thanks to this app.
In theory it should mean that your device has more free memory and probably better battery.

Just fully stock (odexed) with some apps:
- LMT Launcher (Pie softkey)
- FullScreen Toggle (Hide stock softkey)
- Xposed (Easy to mod many things as long as you find the matching module, and it plays with both ODEXED and DEodexed!)
- Statusbar Clock Color Mod (An Xposed's module, use it to have a transparent status bar, clock's customized font and so on)

Difference between Themer and Buzz laucher?

I have been running Buzz laucher for some time now and just recently got a beta code to use Themer. My question would be what are the differences? So far I feel they are quite similar with the exception of Buzz having more features because it has been around longer.
Thoughts?
I dunno but if you wanna give up that code, let me know! I'll take it!

One major difference that I found out was that Buzz launcher consumes over 100MB Memory(without any widget) and Themer takes about 40-50MB even on high end theme ...
Also even in Beta stage Themer is much smoother than Buzz (transition animations).
So I guess Themer has better memory management .
Also Themer will have more Quality and Detailed Theme Gallery than Buzz (Because there are many Themers who have their themes on MyColorScreen also unlike Buzz the Theme is validated before it gets published in the Themer themes Browser)...
u dont need to download any external app like UCCW/zooper etc etc
At a first glance, I asked myself the same question... they are very similar in form and function... But I was looking for the 'widget everything' option and looks promising.
I have a question. I've modified a theme I'm using now, if I switch to another theme then go back will the original theme I modified will it be the way I left it?

Export your current theme before changing to other theme. You can get it back at Themer > My Themes > Exported.
Differences are:
1) Our themes are 100% curated. Only the best get in.
2) Themer is true one-click. User doesn't have to do anything to make the theme look just the way the designer intended.

^^ This - 1 click is literally all it takes. No further setting up of widgets is required, unless of course you want to edit the theme.
Also, with the simplicity of themer, I strongly believe that it will gain a massive community behind it once it's generally released. Plus, there's a dedicated forum on our favourite mobile development site too
What's not to like!

I see the benefits. I guess there are a few features I miss over buzz that I would like to see added.
1) Infinite scrolling of both home screens and app drawer
2) scroll transitions (more fun than fictional)
3) a less intrusive menu button capture
I also think it would be great to have an option to retain the AOSP like play store icon in the top corner of the app drawer.
Edit: One more thing I would like to see is the ability to use the theme based icons as folders or standalone app icons via the long press>edit option
Until Themer can handle my Nexus 4 in full screen mode I will be using Buzz for my themes (although I recognize that Themer has better themes etc etc).
