A few questions

Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks

I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.

There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.

Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)

The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.

That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.

As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.

Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.

[Q] Change the dock shortcuts

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)

Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.

Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff

its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?

Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this

I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..

I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?

In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

[Q] Folder with Apex Launcher?

How can I create a folder on the home and on application screen with Apex launcher? Thanks for your reply.

i don't think you can add a folder on the drawer. But on the home screen i think you can with APEX Launcher the donate(pro)version Im not sure bec. I've replaced Apex with Nova launcher, only used Apex for about a day. Nova Launcher Prime(paid version) does them both. On the meantime you can try dragging another icon with the existing one on desktop to make a folder on homescreen with apex

Apex Launcher
Very easy,
you drop one app over another one. This you can do several times.
For example: On the screen you have the icon of app A. drop B, C, D etc.
over it. You will see one rounded Icon. By pressing on it you will see all the dropped icons with their names. The first app (in this case A) is shown as icon for the folder. You can move the icons by keeping them pressed a little bit longer in the order you want.
Coming back to main screen press the icon a little bit longer and give a name to the folder.
With Apex options/folder you can change also the style of the folder.
It´s up to you which one you like most.
Try and enjoy!

I did it, but as soon as I press the one app I want to move, it directly go to the main screen (desk top screen), I want to make the folder in the apps drawer screens, like how I used to do with GO Launcher

You can't make a folder in the app drawer, like on go launcher.

Is there an option to move the position of an app inside the drawer?

Nope. I believe with the pro version of of APEX you can create folders in the app drawer though.

Not folders but you can have multiple tabs in the pro version. Think of tabs like folders only displaying one at a time up top. I have all my apps categorized into 6 tabs. Takes a few minutes to get used to (coming from GoLauncher) but it's actually quite nice having the entire screen for a "folder" (tab) of apps... especially if you find yourself using one tab more often than the others: it remembers the last tab you were in.

Thanks! I didn't notice you could make a new tab group by holding a tab and creating it! Very good! Now I dont have to be adding games to a unsorted folder and all that stuff! Besides, is better to have it a screen than in a folder

Whenever I try to move one icon onto another, it just moves it so that they swap places. Doesn't matter how many times I try or how slowly I try I can no longer make it so that it makes folder!

when your moving the icon over another to put them into a folder, try not to hover drop it straight away, when you hold it over the top for even a short ammount of time it thinks your organising the layout,

I'm having the same problem. the other app just slides out of the way right away and doesn't create the circle.

Trebuchet launcher hide apps

Does anybody know if theres a way to hide apps in the trebuchet launcher app drawer? I know other lauchers like Holo and Nova can do it, but it would be nice if the stock launcher for CM10 could do it too.

Nope. Cant be done.

Well, thanks for the to-the-point answer.
I figured as the primary launcher for such a customizable ROM like CM10, that might be something they looked into.
Any recommendations on launchers that can do this for free?

But like the androidlost app is able to hide itself from the app drawer, why can't I do that with other apps?

i know iam ressurecting an very old thread but its one of the first results searching for trebuchet and hiding apps in google so i think i shoult write the solution here.
i dont know for 10.0 but in 10.1 it CAN be done
unfortuante its an awefully hidden option
you have to go to setting - launcher - app - hideapps
i knew i saw it today when i walked trough the menus lol
upside it always shows all apps and you can simple toggle on of (unlike samsung touchwiz option)
but sadly the launcher is really the weak point here when it comes to organizing apps

Yeah haha, they finally put it into cm 10.1. That's why this thread died.

To anyone who might still want to hide apps in cm 12. and above ,just go to launcher options and down click protect app. Do what is neccessary and select apps you want to hide and protect

Launcher?

Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks

Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

Silly questions then.
I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?

Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help

Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.

Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.

CPL wins hands down.

Steep learning curve though

Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how

keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well

I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50

Nova forever,
