Does any body have any idea how to sort the app draw in alphabetical order? Makes it hard to find anything when its just randomly jumbled.
It is missing in many regions, according to the S6 Q&A section. Hopefully this gets restored in a future update.
There used to be an app for doing this years ago, touchwiz never used to have this function originally. I came on here to ask if anyone knew a good app for doing this and saw this thread. Can anyone recommend something?
They always has it but not with the s6 so far only some regions have it. For now just use nova launcher better faster more organised or sfinder friend

What if someone with the option extracted their launcher apk and we installed it replacing ours, should that give us the option back?
I have that option. I can help try and extract it if someone can walk me threw it.

I have no clue how to do these such things, and before someone links me to a tutorial how to please I really don't have a ton of time between work and children to learn so I would appreciate it tremendously if someone could. Maybe a donation for it, im running the black froyo theme with launcher pro and was wondering if someone could make little androids in black and grey, one holding an enevelope for messages, one holding a globe for internet, one holding a phone and one holding the contact icon so I can change the launcher icons to them. Im sure a lot of people would use them. Thanks!

Ooh not a bad idea actually. You just want launcher pro icons for the dock correct? This should not be terribly difficult with Photoshop and some time
My only concern is icons have to be small so I'm not sure if the little android guy will be too visible in there considering you also have to include the actual icon: mail, phone, internet, etc.
Well I've actually seen a screen shot of someones launcher with the icons in green but I have no idea where I saw them because its been a while since I seen them. They actually looked pretty good.

Can this be done for our phone? And if so, can one of you smart developers/themers create a flashable zip for this. This would look awesome.

I believe ADW launcher has a setting for that. And I think certain roms do as well.

I have the paid version of ADW and have never seen that option. Im pretty sure I have looked through all the ADW options. But Im kind of looking for a universal option which a launcher probably wont do. I Have tried most of the ROMS available. Right now I am using Eclipse. It doesnt do it.
Hmm. You've had this on other phones? If so which ones? I'd like to take a look at how they do it and maybe figure out a way to get our phone to do the same. I read the article briefly and it seems that in order for it to be universal it may require a lot of typing.

From reading the article, unless I'm misunderstanding, it looks to me like it has to be coded into the app. I've got at least one app that does this now. Might be more but I've never paid attention until now. Quick Settings will do this if you have it set to dialog mode. It doesn't blur but it does dim the screen. But that function (blurring) too would appear to be something coded into the app.
Yes this particular article is regarding writing an actual app, its not a function on any launcher. I don't know of a launcher setting to do this universally, there are some options if you crack open a theme or rom and start playing with xml files but thats about it.
I have not had this on other phones. But I've seen it before. Check out this video and look at the 30 second mark:

Thats what I thought it might be. the xml files. But Im not a developer. I wouldnt know where to look or what to change.
Ya doing that would be a big rewrite as far as xml's go...the effect is cool and i wish it was easy to implement universally but as far as i know its not easy...i looked into it a while back.
This seems like a cool effect but the amount of work for the payoff is just not worth it.. especially if its an app by app basis.. I looked at the link quick.. will executing this do this to all apps or is it app by app basis.. if it does the effect to all apps I would look into this further

Just saying again, I'm no developer. But even if that link I posted is just refering to designing an app, I would think there's a place to put this in the system ui files. I know that when I power down my phone, it blurs the background when it's saying "powering down the device" or something like that. But that's the only time it does it. Also, I would think anywhere it has the dimming code, which happens when a dialog box comes up like when you long press the home screen to add a widget. Can't you add or modify the code that does that?

Well the trick would be to find a Rom that does that effect then copy the code from there...If anyone finds a rom with that effect, let me know i can try to find the code, i would love this effect but i just don't have time right now to do the research...maybe this weekend.

In the third post, there is a mod for advanced power menu. Im not sure if the blurred background is part of this mod or the Desire HD ROM.

Well that Link above the rom package contains just the android.policy.jar file in it so maybe thats where the setting is. I decompiled and looked through it but i couldn't find anything pointing towards blurring the background, maybe someone else that has a little more experience than me wanna give it a crack. Sorry i couldn't help, i will keep my eyes open for this effect and post if i find anything.

Iv had my note 2 for a few days and Im rooted unlocked and running cleanrom. I want to find the file that contains the text for the you forgot your s pen message and change that text. A rom including the ability to change this would be cool. I was thinking I could use a log to find the file somehow but Im not sure what Im looking for. Anyone know where it is?
Look here. I think this will help you.

No that thread is for the pen removal alert. I want the one that displays a text and say you forgot your pen. If im stupid enough to forget it I want it to be harsher lol
Allow me to clarify. Now that I've downloaded the, "KitKat concept," theme, I absolutely love just starring at my home screen and admiring it. But using stock apps that have the touchwiz feel from my galaxy s4, such as the stock messaging app, I feel like the two don't go together (see attachments to see what I mean). Going from a nice, clean, feel to a big, tacky app just doesn't feel right. I don't know though, it might just be me.
So my question is, did you guys just leave the stock apps be, or did you download a 3rd party messaging app, lock screen app, etc., to make your theme fit more?
Excuse my bad English by the way.

Alternative sms apps. Otherwise root is required.

For the dialer I use rocketdial pro & for sms I use sliding messaging pro. both are themeable so they go with whatever theme I have on themer at the time. I bought both but they have free versions.

How do you have message with the white background?
The screen shot? That's the stock messaging app for the galaxy s4 and I believe all the other galaxy or touchwiz running devices as well

I gave up hope of root and custom Roms and got myself a sony xperia Z Ultra which I really like other than low volume and I REALLY miss the stock messaging app for the adjustable font size with the volume controls (get tired of grabbing my reading glasses )..... AND the ability to delay/schedule ssending texts.......
So if there is any way I can pull that app from my mega after i have lost root / been force fed the 4.4.2 update.....And before I sell it..... or if anyone can point me to a way to download that messaging app... I would really appreciate it!
You can, but it probably won't work as most apps require the touchwiz framework which is Samsung only

well thank you but that sounds discouraging.....
Then do those features (adjustable font size with the volume controls AND the ability to delay/schedule ssending texts) sound to anyone like something I could find together in another SMS App ?
I am not sure specifically but there are a million SMS apps. I particularly like sliding messaging.
Sent from my GT-I9205 using Tapatalk
yeah the fact that there are SO many is one of the reasons I am asking for advice to pull that one I like so much, OR find ONE app with those features.... I will check out sliding messaging - do you know if it has the features i am looking for?
still looking for advice...
patiently.... and i swear i have tried searching.... just bumping in hopes of getting someone's attention that has been in similar situation
