Go to the market and give Go Launcher Ex a try. Best Launcher out there IMO and it is free.
Folders in App drawer, on home screens and in quick launch area as well.

Have you found any other launchers that can do this except go launcher ex? To bad you cant hide the drawer when using it on tablets.

Try SSLauncher, folders were just added, they're called parcels.

Could you tell me how to create a folder in the drawer? Desktop is easy.

nova prime.
settings - drawer - drawer groups - folder - add

ADW updated!!!!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:

We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.

Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...

App Request - SMS Blocker

Hey guys.
I've been trying hard to look for an app that will block unwanted sms. The thing is, though, every app has an icon in the app drawer whether it is a decoy icon or not.
Can one be made that blocks sms that doesn't show up in the app drawer?
I could really use one.
Thanks.

Try this app. It works in my experience. I use a home replacement app (ADW EX) to keep icons I don't want out of my drawer...

Super thanks!!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!
I use ADW EX as well... I just never bothered using the catalog thing. I like how the app has hidden mode. It's perfect!

Nova Launcher

For anyone running Nova Launch on their Gear...
How can we get some sort of actual watch functionality?
It's cool having a full-fledged launcher on my watch, but it would also be
pretty damn nifty to have a clock on my watch
Widgets are no-go, so that's out of the question...
Is a lockscreen the answer? and how could that be arranged?

I was able to get the clock/weather widget on Go Launcher Ex. The weather isn't working, but the clock is a go.

With novalauncher, move the app apk after installing from data/app to system/app and reboot. Then you can use widgets. Minimalistic text is a good widget to start with because you can customize everything about the time, date, battery etc. It was easier to set it up on my phone, export the config, push it to the watch and import it.

Looks very good!
Did You succeed with creating shortcuts to specific contacts or "quick dial" list or in any other way to see "all contacts" AND "preferred contacts" ?
I am kind of waiting for Samsung to update the firmware, but as this is not happening - I will probably root and install NOVA as I use it on Note3 anyway
Battery widget JINASYS is also very nice.
What about power use with the background - did You notice if it is shorter? - amoled screen draw no power when it is black, so I'd rather keep the background black.

You can add shortcuts, widgets, quick dials and basically anything you can do on your phone when you have the APK in the system directory. Also I am getting 2-3 days battery life from my gear atm, my wallpaper is now mostly white and it still doesn't affect it very much. The latest firmware update for the gear did wonders for battery usage.

Do you need root access to do this? I can not find the apk for nova on the gear? The data folder is empty.

Never mind. I figured it out. I went ahead and rooted then turned on the root access in file manager and set to read and write. then I could see all the folders and files to follow your instructions. Thanks.

I just got my gear less then a week ago. I am interested in doing this but I was wondering if you do this can you still get notifications and s voice if you do this?

Is your background picture? Going to edge of Gear? If so what picture widget are you using?
I tried one photo widget app, but it didn't go to the edges, and it looked funny.

He is taking about favorite contacts. So if you want to call someone you don't have to go through all three contacts to do so.....
I have been looking for an answer to this question as well, but have been unable to find it.

Unfortunately you can't adjust transparency unless you're using the TW launcher. Even if you do adjust it in TW, it doesn't stick when you switch to another launcher like nova.

Couldn't get that to install. Running DK, no Exposed. Did a permissions fix. Looks like a nice mod, wish I could install it.

Push it from root explore are other root file app set permission. Reboot that about it.
At&t how about unlocking Bootloader on SM-870A ?

The widget does work on my S5 running Solo launcher. Not transparent, but it does work. On mine I have to re-size it, not sure why. Gonna try the default launcher to see if I can get transparency.
Edit: Tried the default TW launcher and the widget was indeed transparent.
It's a shame that only works on the one launcher.
