Hi guys
I know this topic area has been posted before, but I wondered whether there was a way to sort the apps alphabetically now specifically that FroYo has been released?
I tried looking at one method, but I couldn't find what they were suggesting under settings.
in the list-mode it's alpabetical though.
I know. But I don't like it. I like Grid View. I know it's picky but it'd be a really simple thing for Samsung to do... :/
Search in market for TouchWiz Application Sorter.
It requires rooted phone and stock TouchWiz 3.0.
Hope I'm not hijacking here, but is there any launcher except Touchwhiz that has a list display? I'd actually prefer a pure text list display with no icons, but that's unlikely I'd guess.
There is a modified version of touchwiz for froyo in either the Apps or development forums that does that and s also supports landscape mode. Works great

Hi
because of the Touchwiz 3.0 issue with not sorting alphabetically in grid view (crazy development by the way) i switched to GO Launcher EX which is much much better. It has many more features and is still quite small.
Cheers
Alex
I know this topic is rather old, but there is a solution.. although a dumb one.
1. Go into settings.
2. Go into Applications
3. Select all applications
4. Go down to TWLauncher or something to that effect.
5. Clear Data
Back out of everything... you'll notice TouchWiz is not working anymore. Press the home button and wait a bit or restart your device.
Everything now sorted properly.
**NOTE: I've had my home screens reset too, although this doesn't happen all the time.. If you decide to use this method, be prepared to add stuff to your home screen again (widgets, modified 4 buttons at the bottom, etc)**
"appzorter" downloadable from the market for free works fine to sort the apps alphabetically in the app drawer on touchwiz UI

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Best app for sorting apps: appzorter. Download it from the Android market. It's free.

Hello there,
what is the best launcher for the nook?
I see that Go Launcher is installed automatically with touchnooter, why that one and not another one?
What do you use, why and how did you configured it?
I'm afraid of all the flashes that i saw on some youtube videos...
I like adw launcher since it lets me set a "white" background for my minimalist black adw icon pack.
You can also change the dockbar background to a pure black by installing the honeycomb theme for adw and selecting.that theme from the adw themes in ADWSettings.

Could you please give us your icon pack? Is it possible in ADW Launcher to set to black the text under the icons (in the app drawer)?
With ADW Launcher you mean the free one or the EX version?
I used to use ADW Launcher for its layout and the "Colors" wallpaper from the Market to add a white background. But recently my new favorite is Relaunch. It's a launcher+file browser made specifically for the nook. It doesn't do widgets, but it has a lot of other features I find useful, such as battery display, wireless toggle, task killer, search, recent files, etc. I'm not a fan of the nook Library (vs. my old Sony reader), so I decided to organize my books in folders with Calibre and use Relaunch both to start apps and open books.
seems like relaunch is great, i should consider that instead of standard launchers

Do you mind posting a link to it? I did a quick search and couldn't find it.
I can't post links yet (I'm a noob -- I hate myself! ), but you can search Google for "Relaunch nook" and follow the link from the nookDevs result.
One handy thing it can do that I haven't seen any other launcher do is map itself to the nook's "Home" button on the Quicknav. Handy for 1.1.0 since NookTouchTools isn't working yet.
Thanks, from what I've played around with so far, this is my favorite launcher yet.
Here is the link
but i don't like the ui
for now i still waiting XorZone's create the NookTouch launcher
so i keep using the go launcher and create my own theme
widget: minimalist text
Relaunch's UI is rather spartan, yes. I think it's an either love-it-or-hate-it sort of program.

From the market it seems that it needs Android 2.2 or better, did you have any trouble using it on Nook's 2.1?

Any hint on how to find a 2.1 compatible version?
I found a nice one! ADW Launcher (yes, we know) but... add on the Minimalist Black theme from the Market. Black apps and labels on white. This is perfect for the nook screen and with some settings tweaking, you can make all apps fit in one screen. If you want, download "Colors" to use a pure white background for the desktop.
I also found that File Expert is a decent file manager and its default theme is white. The fonts are a little washed out, though, so I tweaked them a bit and it's a nice black-on-white. Most other file managers I've found use annoying graphical backgrounds.
Just did that yesterday installing also a copy of minimalistic text 2.6.2 that I had on a eclair defy, it suits eink perfectly.

Hehe, I was wondering when that combo would show up again.
I was advertising for it back when I first got my NST but nobody seemed to care.
Tho I no longer use it, imho it's the best launcher setup for the NST available atm
Btw, you forgot to mention the great icon pack that comes with it!

i am looking for a launcher that has grids. im currently using go launcher which is nice coz of folders and stuff but i wan grids so i can organise my apps by page. anyone know this type of launcher?
Most launchers have both a grid-based homescreen and app drawer, so... maybe you could explain it a bit better?

as in grid based app drawer that lets you leave spaces like touch wiz but still have folder options.
Dear,
Under MM, if you want to use Google Launcher instead of the welcome Huawei, or Huawei Launcher, download Launcher Google Now and go to applications, and parameters and finally advances parameters and application use by default, and pitch Google Apps, and enjoy the result.
Yours
Did you manage to get the App icons uncluttered like in stock android with Google now launcher?
I still have these ugly borders and backgrounds... Even if I use the purev3.hwt theme. It only works on huawei launcher..

I'm running Google Now Launcher, and no, I'm stuck with the hideous icons, too. As much as I like the customization option on the P8lite, it'd would've been nice to have the option to use default app icons (as in, the icons that apps show on their play store page).
Does everyone else has black background under the on-screen buttons and notification bar doesn't blend with the whole launcher? I mean app is not immersive (fullscreen)

If you want to easily change icons install luncher that supports it. Nova is one of the best
Thanks

Can confirm, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'm now wondering why I didn't use Nova Launcher sooner!

Edit the OP than with the recommendation changed from Google Now launcher to Nova.
Nova is great especially if you want a really good stock android experience. Settings are limitless and probably one of the best launchers out there

Anybody know how to set different launcher as default. EMUI doesnt seem to allow you to change default.

on android MM go to settings ->Apps ->advanced(the little gear bellow) -> default app settings-> launcher
Didn't see the solution
on my smartphone google launcher works without any problem, set as default. It need to be set manually in settings, but then it is fully working.

You can also use NOVA launcher. the icons there are the stock icons, without the ugly huawei borders ^^
Anyone know of a way to theme the system UI to look like windows phone, i have a great launcher already that works with live tiles but the system UI is a harder thing to tackle.

If you're on CM13 you can use some themes from play store. There is no exact windows phone theme as far as I can tell, but you can find some similar ones and use them.
