Did you ever figure this one out? I find it annoying as well.

No, I didn't.
You need to install a different launcher. I use the Blackberry launcher and it is gone. There are a bunch of them in the play store.
I'm using LawnchairLauncher from FDroid.
Is really nice and smart.

In GB, you could add a shortcut for Running Services by going to Shortcuts and then Settings>Running Services. Ever since I upgraded to ICS (AOKP by TasK; I can't remember if the samsung roms that I tried had it), I didn't see that option. There was only Settings>Apps, and then you'd have to switch to the Running Services tab. But there's also a one-click/press method I found.
I don't know if anyone else is interested; google search wasn't helpful, and I found the solution so I thought I'd share.
So this will probably be slightly different depending on the launcher you use, but with Nova and Apex it's basically this:
long press>shorcuts>Activities>Settings>Running services.
There's two entries for running services. They both do the same thing so I don't know why that is. If someone could shed light on that I'd be interested to know.

If I have my facts straight, this only works if you have a launcher installed that supports the "Activities" shortcut menu. I know Nova supports it...
I think that's right. Like I said it's launcher specific. Trebuchet doesn't seem to even have an option to add shortcuts other than the standard app-launch shortcut.

Oh...I missed that in your post...sorry.
all good
Also, I think even if a launcher doesn't have an "activities" option, as long as you install nova or apex (whether u use it or not) there should be a way to get this shortcut. The LG launcher on the root-box rom is a case in point. (Trebuchet is a counter-example). I forgot how I did it tho...

Yeah, this is true. I use go launcher but I have nova installed, and the activities options shows up in the create shortcut menu.

what would this be good for? i set it up. but there is no kill all option, so its kinda useless.
for nova users:
nova settings>long press menu>then do what he says in op.

I've always had a shortcut to Running Services on one of my homescreens. It's useful to know what's running in the background when it shouldn't...so I can track down the sources of battery drain. Then I use Autostarts to try to control those services.
What's really useless is a task manager with a kill all option. All it does is cause Android to reopen those services, wasting more battery than it's saving.

i agree. i use android assistant. great widget. can immediately see what my running processes are and i can kill if i tap the other side. along with look to see how much memory i will be freeing up. there is also an ignore list to throw those ones that reboot in.
different strokes for different folks i guess.
Hello there. I wonder if there app available to sort application by name in Optimus UI launcher? Like Appzorter for Touchwiz.
I'd rather not install another launcher, but if that's the only way, I'm open to suggestion. In the past I use Go Launcher, but feel it quite "heavy" on system resources (on my old Galaxy Ace).

You can sort it manually. Otherwise you will have to use another launcher.

That is my biggest annoyance with the LG launcher.
Bummer.
Right now I'm using Nova Launcher with Touchwiz theme I feel it quite fast. For weather I'm using Yahoo! Weather. Still trying to find free calendar widget like one built in.
Em, right touch button and reset, I think it will sort app by name.

That does sort them. It sorts alphabetically the built in apps first. Then after that alphabetically the downloaded apps.
It is a little better, but it would be nice to have all of them mixed together in alphabetical order. Can't have everything we want.
Hey, I just factory reset my sisters Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and have a little shortcut problem.
It seems no matter how I try i cannot make a shortcut to the Applications category.
If i press and hold the home screen i can add widgets/shortcuts to specific applications but I would like to create a shortcut for the whole 'Apps' category since it is not there.
Anyone know how you can fix this?

If you use Nova Launcher you can create as many shortcuts for the apps drawer you may want, wherever you want.

Yeah but do you really have to use a launcher? I mean jesus christ there has got to be a function in the OS for this.
Not that I don't appreciate the tip though, I'm just really astounded if this is not the case.

You are already using a launcher, TW Launcher; but you can switch.
What you are asking for is launcher dependant, and must be supported by it.

Okay is there any way to customize the original launcher?
I mean, this is strange, surely there's gotta be a way to do this natively somehow?

So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)
Cheers

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
As i say. Today i buyed this phone from store. Dual Sim version. Its nice, only one thing irritate me. This google assisstant widget. Its possible to remove this thing?
Any help with this?
Well, I remember that Android 8.0 Oreo has locked the Google Bar. I was trying to get rid of it. The only way is disable the Google service app (i guess)
