Renaming Applications?

Is there anyway to rename applications so the icon text fits on the screen. Such as wireless tether or dolphin browser both cut off the text on the screen.

Yes

On the homescreen or app drawer? Desktop visualizer will change icon names on the homescreen.

Desktop Visualizer works great. Finally got app text to fit on my screen.

Adw launcher let's you rename any home screen icons also. I don't know for sure but I would suspect launcher pro would also.

I use an App called BetterCut

Does desktop visualizer work on stock sense (thunderbolt)?

How to remove lock screen

Can some one tell me how to remove the lock screen app? I want to use another lock screen. thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I read about this elsewhere:
Go to Settings>location & security>screen unlock settings>none
This will disable pattern, pin and password unlock. Not terribly intuitive but it works.

I want to remove the apps from system/app/ not just unable it

From my understanding while using touchwiz you are stuck with the plain jane one. But by using a different launcher, more choices are opened up. i believe unlock screens are part of the launcher app.

I'm using go locker right now. It's ok, free too with several themes

Yes I thought it would be like this but it was not. I just removed the stock launcher, but still have the lock screen. Thanks. Iam using Sony Ericsson launcher with four corner. Looks nice and smooth.

Folders in the app drawer?

Is this possible? I don't want to use GO launcher EX. And organizing apps on the home screen is hard and annoying. That's why i want them in the app drawer. If there isn't a way to do it in the app drawer maybe there is a way to easily organize folders on the home screen maybe?

U can make folders on homescreen
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS

Won't Apex Launcher do that?

I don't want them on the hone screen because its too fiddly. I want them in the app drawer or I want an app that can make it so that I can easily put them on the home scree. I HAVE ABOUT 200 APPS!

With Apex you can just drag and drop to create folders, so you can have as many as you have space for on the home screen. You can even create them in the tray.
Not sure that helps though ;o)

Change app drawer sorting now we have root?

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

OK, that's a point... dind't notice that because i was using Beautiful Widgets all the time.

I hate that every time I open the drawer it says Loading.... freaking annoying for a quad core phone to have to do that

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.

Thanks. I tried the app but every time I reboot, I need to set it.. Isn't there any option in system somewhere?

Nothing with stock experia launcher, but if you want to use stock launcher, then download multi live wallpaper from the market, and choose 1 wallpaper. There's lots of settings on that wallpaper. If you use only 1 screen wallpaper it won't scroll.
