Looking for alphabetical app launcher - Themer General Discussion

Hi
I'm looking for a slide-out app or a widget or whatever, that resembles Action launcher's alphabetical app drawer. Aviate Launcher has something like this too. I love this for quickly finding an app I want. I'm really liking Themer for my launcher though, and want to keep using that.
Any suggestions?
Looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Seems easy to add. Hope they do it soon.

I second that for more customization options like that. User with less app will find this is not a big deal for them, but for those with a lot of apps with find it useful. There's folder options that we can sit related apps inside to separate each of the types but this customization will add more juice, of course. :good:

Text instead of icons?

I saw a couple of screenshots with text used instead of the icons and/or folders. If its an app what is it? I have the minimalistic text.

Post up the screen shot you are referring to, I'm not sure what you are looking at.
If you are reffering to icons that say "phone" instead of a picture of a phone it's just a simple png file. ADW and LauncherPro(i think) allow for icon changes. Widget Locker also allows custom icons. The files are all over the net, look in the Android section of xda, they have a huge Icon thread.
Danny has a theme that uses text for the main screen instead if Icons, looks pretty nice, after unzipping the file you can use what you need if you don't want the entire thing.

I think this is what you're looking for: http://www.mediafire.com/?bi6xcug62hktann. I didn't make these, just found them using a google search.
As was mentioned, you need a launcher that allows you to change the icon image. For example, long press on a dock icon in launcher pro and select "change icon," then you can select any icon you've put on your sd card.
Hope that helps.
You can try the texticons app in the market. Seems to work with most roms and launchers.
If you still need some, I have about 160.
Edit, here they are. From XDA, can't recall who to credit.

[Q] How to change stock drawer in touchwiz?

Hi,
I would like to replace the stock drawer with an alternative drawer but at the same time I want to maintain touchwiz 4.0. Is there a way to get rid of the stock application drawer?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
bamthwok
I use OPEN HOME from the Market (paid) and then use different Themes which are free, and for the lockscreen use lockbot (pro) gives my phone the IPhone lockscreen although you can choose different ones
If you just want to change the drawer maybe you might to have some knowledge of how to change them from withing and some DEV might assist you with that.
My suggestion would be try different launchers they are more fun and customisable although you loose abit of touchwiz

I would love to simply replace the contacts launcher with the browser one! I think I read the bottom panel is not customizable within TW4?

Look for "Alt Drawer" on here on Xda you can replace it on your home screen by using launchers like launcher pro or others to replace the original drawer on your dock, it maybe available on the market????

Change the app drawer icon

I dunno if its been posted on here before or not but I thought Id let anyone know that didnt know already
The app drawer icon always annoyed me and Ive wanted something different, you can change the app drawer icon but only using ADW, might be able to do it on other launchers too, but Im not sure Ive only tried it on ADW
Simply long press the app drawer icon and you can change it from the pop up, you can also customize what it does, basically the same as you would on a phone.... dont know why I didnt think of this earlier

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
nice findings, esp change what it does.

Oh wow I didnt know that. It's always bothered me as well (even tho i usually hide the action bar). Nice find, thanks.
LOL its so obvious to me now since its the same on the phone, I feel like a dummy now for not realizing this sooner
You are welcome guys

You and me both bro haha
I made mine invisible using StaticText. I use swipe down gesture on ADW to open the drawer anyway.

Can we change the icon set without touching anything else?

Hi devs/experts,
I am extremely excited about the S3 but my only gripe is that the icons (phone, messaging, contacts) etc look very dated.
Fortunately it's android, so we can change them (I assume).

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So can we change them without keeping everything else in the phone stock?
If there's a solution to this quickly then I will do it the first thing after I get the phone.
Thanks!
Should be in the Q&A section........as far as i know NO you can not change touchwiz icons.
maybe someone else can shed more light on this for you though.
It is possible with other launchers adw for example
moved to q & a
use something like apex or nova launcher =)

This is dependent on the launcher, and for Samsung's launcher, I don't think so.
Of course, with root explorer, all things are possible.
You can do it, and here are the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14091873&postcount=315

Themer Launcher

So I got my invitation code a few days ago, and I haven't been happier. This is super easy to use so far.
Download a theme and apply all in one step. Super easy to change and customize.
It's still in Beta, but you can sign up. It did take me right about a month to get my invite code. This simplifies the homescreen so much.
Here are some screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Signup for the beta here:http://themerapp.com/
I'm open to any questions. I have been switching back and forth between this and Aviate.
do you need to get a separate icon pack? or is it included when you click the theme? 61K still in front of me. been going down about 10K everyday however, so maybe by the end of the week i'll get in.
Everything is included in the theme, no additional downloads of icon packs, widgets, etc.
So far it's ok, it's an easier to use, noob friendly version of BuzzLauncher, IMHO.

It does have it's own icons. I did however open up my NOX apk and pull the pngs and change my icons. It does allow you to do that.
none here.. no coffee

Use the code MSTRCD And it works no waiting. :thumbup:
