Application menu organization - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This seems like a dumb question but I haven't figured it out yet.
,
As you install appz, they get dropped into the appz menu in chronological order. Also the pages aren't full, before the next page gets added.
How do you fill in the open spots and get them in alphabetical order?

Open your applications, press menu button and then edit. You will be able to arrange your applications any way you like. There is also an option to create folders.

There's no way to do this automagically?
I have a ton of appz and want them to be alphabetical and every new app to be alphabetical.
The GSII Skyrocket does this??

I had the same problem too. Was a pain in the rear end. Until I found appzorter from the market. Works like a charm!!

Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel: possible security concern

Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel - 11/04/2010 -- possible security concern
Installed the above ROM.
ROM Post link:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816271
Working good on my Captivate.
One concern: How do I take off the "minus" marks on the app icons that lets us delete apps right from the home screen (the screen we get when we click on the home button).
I see this as a security risk. I have app protector pro. But then, we can just delete the app protector pro in this mode without even asking for any password or anything, and all my apps are open for everyone to use.
Could anyone please help me take off this option to quick uninstall apps from home screen.
This thread is a joke, right?
wow just great now this post with almost the exact same title as the rom post will get me confused which is which from now on

Nope. I am serious. So far I realized that unless a person knew how to mod a Captivate, he didn't know how to access protected apps. But now, even a layman can just delete the 'app protector pro' and access all the apps that are supposed to locked by it.

I think you haven't noticed that i added "possible security concern" beside it in the title itself.

You do know that once you rooted your phone, anyone with a little knowledge can do much more than simply delete apps... just don't lose your phone or give it to an iphone buddy who might wonder what the neat little thingys on your screen do
Bye. What launched are you using that you see this in.... and deleting an icon from your home screen does not uninstall it on any that I have used

Not the icon. Like when u press the home icon, u can see all the apps present on ur device. For user installed apps, u can see a small "minus" in a circle on the right top of app icon, just like in iphone when u go to edit mode. click on that, and it will uninstall the app.

Pardon me if my concern is not really one. I am just expressing myself.
I use Application Protection from the market. Upon uninstalling any app it always asks for the pin. There is no removing the program without it.

Right, this is as long as the app is there. I am telling about a situation where the protection app itself is removed. I could remove it without it asking me for the pin.

Another possible solution is to install another launcher that dosen't have uninstall in the application tray or doesn't work at this time (my LG Optimus below) and use root explorer to remove the two launcher and reboot.

Sounds logical. But I am on Cognition 2.4.1 ROM now
Why not just have a lockscreen?
You do realize that if someone gets ahold of your phone everything can be taken out by someone who is skilled enough... right?

Others have already pointed this out, but what you need to do is dl and install a different launcher from Market and then uninstall the TWLauncher. Problem solved.
Just because TWLauncher is the default in Cog 2.4.1 doesn't mean that you have to use it. Get another launcher. Or you could try never letting your phone out of your sight...

Adventure Time App - Need some testing

I published an Adventure Time app to the Market recently and a couple of Epic users have reported that it doesn't work for them. I have a hunch about what might be wrong and I changed a few things and need some of you guys to test things out for me before I make an official update.
Below is the link to the apk. Will someone install it and check to see if Finn (the first character) plays sound when you press on him? The other characters shouldn't work, if my hunch is right.

So, just to be clear. You click on a character and then receive a black screen each time?
the board next to the characters on the first screen.. one says stickers that takes me to the next screen (not avail.).. but when I press sounds, screen goes black.. also I uninstalled and then deleted the .apk... dl'd the link again, installed second time, same result.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Well, I have no idea why it's working for some and not others. Maybe it's a memory thing.

Remove 'recent apps' in notification menu?

Anyone know how to remove the "recent apps" section in the notification menu?
I dont use/want it and its just a big waste of space.
Running GingerX gingerbread sense rom =D.
Thanks ~MM20
Go into /system/customize (using root explorer or something similar) and scroll down untill you find notification_config.txt,
tap it, then menu then open it in a text editor and just delete where it says recent apps, then hit menu - save and close. Then reboot the phone and you're sorted.

you cant remove them. unless you install an external task killer.. which is not recommended.
Let me assure you that its not a waste of space, the apps are dormant after a while anyway...
Re-boot will get rid of all of them.
You can get rid of them if you're rooted.
You have to find the notification.config,txt of whatever rom you're using, and edit it. It's normally in the /data folder. Try searching for it.
That will sort it out

Recent apps

Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.
Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level
Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them
Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

Speak Now app as default.

On the old O.S. for this watch, when i tapped the screen I got the 'speak now' app which allowed me to easily navigate or get information while driving. Now, after the upgrade, i get the app drawer and have to scroll the 3rd page to get to it. Not very convenient. Anyone know how to set the speak now back to the default?
thanks
