I installed Samsung Good Lock from the Samsung Galaxy Store and most of the Samsung Good Lock apps are there except for one, NavStar. However, since I have a Galaxy smartphone, I was able to get the NavStar app from it, copy the apk over to the Tab S6 and install it.
Using NavStar, I'm now sporting five options instead of just the default three. Along with the default Home, Back, and Recent apps, I've also added two more for Internet (Chrome) and Refresh. Not to mention that I have my own icons for each instead of the default icons. Nice!

I did the same thing thanks for the tip! I wonder why samsung doesnt allow us to install navstar from the samsung app store onto the tab s6 directly it works just fine sideloaded
How were you able to launch the app?
I installed the apk, but there is no shortcut to open the app.
You need to use 'Nicelock' to launch it. It's in the play store.
I have Nova Launcher and used Nova Launcher's activities to create a shortcut to the NavStar app's MainSettingActivity after I installed it.

UPDATE!
I just opened Good Lock on my Tab S6, and NavStar is now listed! So, there's no longer a need to sideload it anymore. Enjoy!

Did you hear about gestures... all those actions can be done with them. This is history
You mean Nice Lock?
Isn't it battery consuming?

I downloaded this and used once. I then switched back to TW for a bit to see the difference.
Now I can't change back to LP, its as if it doesn't exist on my phone but its in manage applications.
I download the free versions and that shows up when you press the home buttom and gives 2 options, however there is still no option for the pro version.
Suggestions?
Well it could be that the PLUS is built into the free version once you purchase plus, like a key.. Check this by resizing the widgets, and if they get resized, that means you have PLUS. Also try using the launcher pro widgets, they can only be used with PLUS.

No it doesn't work.
I'll try installing it once again!
Still doesn't work...
When you wrote LP PLUS, did you refer to the paid version. As far as I know the paid version is PLUS.
When you press the home button, you will be presented with two choices: either TW or LP. You can select LP and make it default. I think that there is a tick box for this.
There is a handy app in the Market called Home Switched that makes it easier to chop and change your installed windows managers.
LP PLUS will show up as normal LP. All that happens is that the originally installed LP programme is used, but the extended features are enabled once you enter your Email and SerialNumber into it. Did you receive the Email when you registered your copy?
Regards.
I probably recieved an email but didn't enter my email or serial number into anything..
I've somehow got it working :s
While where at it can someone tell me the cool things you can do in launcher pro in comparison to TW?
Go into preferences, you have the option to enable LP Plus there. You need to enter your PayPal code and email. If you bought it from the market I'm not sure how you enable it, I guess the Plus app from there only works as a key.
Edit: to late
Plus gives you LauncherPro Widgets and the option to resize Widgets. LP is also much more customizable compared to TW. You can download themes for the LP widgets in the market.

There are several icon and dock packs on xda. I just use a app called custom launcher icons, much more handy.

Does anyone have a list of all the apps that you can only find in the Samsung Apps store? It would be good to maintain a list of exclusive apps that aren't available on Google Play.
So far I only know of one...
Pen Pilot
I gladiator
Beeline (another great spen game)
Extra Samsung apps etc

S Baro - Official Samsung Barometer for your phone.
Screen Rotation Control - Allows you to rotate apps as you see fit. Allows you to rotate apps that do not normally support Landscape mode.
Application Monitor - Just adds a widget to give you your currently running apps on the home screen.
When you first open the Samsung Apps, slide to the Left, then click either "Apps for Galaxy" or "Best S Pen Apps" to see a unique collection of apps.
They are all ****.

Hi guys. My first thread here and it's a problem.
I just bought my HDX 8.9, and installed apps from outside the amazon appstore. I did it through a alternative market, transfered form my PC or by bluetooth with my phone.
The problem is that after i installed any of them, they doesn't appear on the APP drawer, the only apps that still there are the amazon appstore ones. And i checked Cloud and Device tab and nothing.
I can only access to them by EFS Explorer, and that's annoying.
Its still happens before and after rooting the HDX, so i think rooting is not the problem.
I don't know what to do, i googled the issue and there's not info about it
Cheers and thanks!
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but are you talking about the home screen or after pressing Apps from the Home screen? The apps screen should show everything you have installed. The pull out drawer shows only the last apps you opened similar to the carousel at the top if the Home Screen.
To add apps to the Home Screen, open the Apps screen and long press on the app you want and select Add to Home.
edit: after reading your question again, I see that it is the app screen you're having problems with. I have not seen that problem. You might try reinstalling the downloaded app.

Exactly the app doesn't show up on the home screen and neither on the app menu.
I only can acces to them when i open ES Explorer > App Managament. There i can open them.
And yes i installed and reinstalled them, and the problem still.
It's sooo weird.
Maybe is the Mojito OS
When I install a sideloaded APK or install using 1Mobile, the app icon does not automatically appear on my home screen carousel. I have to go to the apps tab, then select "on device", then launch the app from there the first time. After that the icon appears on the carousel. Hope that helps.

Icons like a bit crappy a they're massively scaled, but they do show.

It only show me the amazon apps only, and the suggested one from the market.
Like i said, i don't have any clue why this is happening to me. It's super weird.
Man, this is really weird... What if you get to the app manager where all the apps are listed (including the system apps). Don't remember how I got there but you could try to install let's say Nova launcher and access the apps from there..
You did set the trusted sources or what's it called to no didn't you? (I think there are like 2 switches for that in preferences. Don't have the device here right now in order to check)

It worked by using Nova Launcher!!! Now i can acces to all my apps and put them on the home screen!
Sadly that all look so small. It's like a phone setting.
¿There's any tablet version of Nova Launcher?
It so weird, it's like my Kindle default launcher it's bugged for not let me see my external apps.

Yes, that's the problem with other launchers and the kindle. Unfortunately they don't work as they should. No widgets, no background etc. Buzz launcher has also worked for me but don't expect much either... Your problem is really odd though and we should try find an other solution

Yeah it is.
But atm i can live by replacing the launcher. It patch the my main issue.
I will keep it like this until a custom rom appears.
Btw. Any good alternative market with a good update pace? Now I'm using 1mobilmarket.

1 mobile is good I use it too. You can use the 'forbidden' markets as well, since they offer also some free versions of the apps. You can Google the apps you want too. Many of them (if not all) can be found on the web or the developers homepage for direct download. Otherwise you could try to use apk extractor from play store. Put it on your phone, extract the app Sent it to your mail and install it to your Kindle. (not tested myself but it should work flawlessly)

I've seen a few people asking about this and decided to play at doing it. After some messing around I've found the following method to work.
First off, you must be rooted. I don't know away around this.
Secondly you will need to download the two files I have linked in this thread and place them in folders of the same name (DO NOT INSTALL THE ACTUAL APKS).
Third, navigate to system > app folder and copy the two folders called "Weather2017" and "WeatherWidget2017" and move them somewhere else.
After moving the 2017 folders replace them with the 2016 folders and reboot
Once you have rebooted navigate back to system > app folder, remove 2016 folders and place the 2017 folders back as they were and reboot again.
When your phone boots back up now you should have access to place the default S8/S8+ weather widget on your screen while using your launcher of choice (I've tested it using Nova but I think it should work with others).
If this helps you please feel free to leave a like!?

No native app launcher has ever given me so much doubt before, I usually went straight to Nova, but OneUI can replace Nova + Sesame(both paid) in most occasions, and it looks really good and seamless.
Any performance/benefits difference you noticed besides Nova's typical customization?
Updated:
Nova vs OneUI, You can see how many frames OneUI drops because of that blur effect, I'd say the case is closed until it gets improved.

I stay with Nova for vertical scrolling in the app drawer and swipe left to Google. During the Pie beta program many of us asked for vertical scrolling but they didn't listen.
Oneui doesn't hide apps... Other than that I feel like they're close
OneUI also supports this fancy UI customization tool made by Samsung called Good Lock that I recently discovered. I've tested it and it works perfectly with my S10+.
You can download it from the Samsung Store if you're in one of the few available regions, or you can just install the APK manually.

I doubt this is unique to the plus but there should be a option in the Home Screen settings to hide apps from the app drawer, unless you were referring to something else?

Nova works great with Good Lock also. Good lock was actually available in 2018, I used it with a S9 Plus. It was disabled during the Pie Beta,but was updated yesterday to work with the stable pie release & the s10 plus

Correct me if I am wrong, but one ui cannot swipe right into googlenow, nor can it lower the notification window by pulling down anywhere on the screen.
I love the idea of removing a 3rd party app, but Nova still seems to be King for my needs.

With the latest Beta, Nova no longer needs TeslaUnread for notifications. There are choices for None, Dynamic badges, Dots, Numeric Dots, or TeslaUnread and they work well on my S9 running Pie. Google Discover has been added with a download of Nova Google Companion.

I agree. Nova mainly so I can have Google now.instead of Bixby home.
I would love to use icon packs system wide, my OCD strikes a bit when the icons on the Homescreen are different to them in menus, apps and mitli tasking view.
I was surprised how smooth one UI runs, I owned a Samsung smartphone years ago from work and it was very laggy. Now, this is my first Samsung, it's very smooth, but I would like more customization and never understood why manufacturers won't support icon packs natively.
On Huawei EMUI you're able to create an own theme with an app where the icons were enabled globally.
I'm currently using one ui. I also have rootless pixel launcher installed. I'm liking what they've done with one ui launcher. With package disabled pro I've frozen all of bixby except for bixby voice. That allows me to change the default bixby key to Google feed. You just select Google for the app and the feed opens right up with a tap of the bixby button. So even though it isn't a swipe from the left it is still a tap on the left for Google feed and one ui.
I tried to like the One UI, but ultimately it had to go. Using Nova mostly because of the google now feed.
