For those of you running touchwiz, found a nice app in the market store that will sort your app drawer in grid mode alphabetically. Works pretty good, and no rooting required. It's called appzorter. This was probably my biggest complaint about the touchwiz ui. Now it's actually a bearable ui.

Any app that can do this? One for the Lockscreen and one for the homescreen? Like miui.

WidgetLocker has that function.
Does it work good? I know it lags on some devices.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Lag is very slight. Give it a try. A lot of themes available for Widgetlocker too.
I've got a themed version, works great, you can have it completely minimal it loaded up with Widgets too
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yes a lot of options.
It lags and also for some reason out was messing with my data connections at times, I'm not using it at the moment.

I'm currently using INFUS3TH3ORY and one issue I have is that stupid 5 Column App Drawer, I don't understand why people like it, it makes everything seem bunched together. Anyways, Is there anyway I can go back to the 4 Column App Drawer?
No one has one?
Have you looked in the candystore or tried adjusting launcher settings?
Pretty sure you can change it.

If I do that, I lose the Sense Rosie and Clock Widget
Check the candystore, there should be a flashable zip under mods.

Anyone got any ideas where to start looking at how the App drawer is sorted now we have root?
The only thing I hate about this phone, is the way it arranges the Apps, with system ones at the front and downloaded ones after.
I want them all alphabetical, but I don't want to spend ages moving them by hand...
I just switched to Apex launcher. Now with root, it can also move widgts from the drawer, and it sorts alphabetically by default. Don't know if this can also be achieved with the stock launcher, but i don't see that much advantages in stock either.
Yeah I would switch to nova launcher, but I want the weather widget

Yeah the Launcher from LG is crap. Just install the Jellybean Launcher from the market it rocks and its so much faster.
I really like the LG Launcher, for everything BUT the app sorting.

ADWLauncher or AWDLauncherEx looks like stock in and out with a bunch of awesome features and you can make tabs in the app drawer
Yeah, I use adw ex, its really good, and has tabs, don't know if the free version does also, but is well worth the small price.

AW: Launcher help?
Nova can create folders in the app drawer but apex can create custom tabs. So I recommend you apex launcher.

Nova Prime does both tabs and folders. It's my go to launcher these days. I formerly used GOex, it's the best free option for folder function. Apex is also very good.

Go is too much of a RAM hog.

Totally. Go uses a ridiculous amount of system resources.
I like ADW because its not a system hog, has loads of neat effects, has the tabs in app drawer, let's you change the size of dock icons and app drawer icons. I see it as what the stock launcher should have been.

I've used both Nova and Apex, and stuck with Apex. Just personal preference as they both work well, and you can keep the stock look with a lot of great customizations in functionality.

I guess it is, but I used it for nearly two years without any issue and really loved all the supporting apps. That said, I haven't seen a bad recommendation here yet. I've used most launchers going back to the G1 and pretty much each of those mentioned thus far has been great to use. Comes down to personal preferences like most things Android.

I've just discovered Nemus Launcher and I guess it will replace Go on my devices!

So, I bought apex launcher a long time ago, that being said its the only" pro" launcher I have, however, I was playing around with other launchers and apex seems to have lag, even as a system app, I'm wondering, does anyone have apex and has similar issues? I'm on the latest aospa, but it does it even on stock, should i just ditch it?

Holo Launcher Pro works good and has versions for ICS and up as well as GB and earlier. Biggest downside, like most launchers actually, is it doesn't dpi scale the best (icon text mainly), but it has plenty of size tweak options to make up for it and fix the scaling. Only Pro launcher I have.
Apex is the best I love putting it in tablet mode, and customization is better than nova I think

Yea tablet mode is great i just can't figure out why it lags, not even Nova 3d lags, maybe I'll try reinstalling it again
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I've been using Apex about the time I got my AHD. No lag at all for me. Unless you are including it in a task killer, then that might be your issue. But for me its fast and I just love it. I deleted the stock launcher (since it stills runs in the background even if its not default) and same RAM. Most launchers take up a lot of RAM and you can see a difference.
