[Q] Launcher Pro/TW Launcher.....

I want to use Launcher Pro as my main Launcher, but I read that it does`nt over ride TW, its just there with TW. My question is, since I dont use TW that much, could I clean it up by getting rid of some of the apps there, or would that also delete or affect apps etc. in Launcher Pro?
No point in having TW packed with stuff when I dont use it that much, cheers!

i agree having 2 launchers i think is essential as back up when modding either of them so you can use the other one to fix the one you break if you know what i mean. Just set launcher pro as default and you wont know tw is there.
Any apps you uninstall will be deleted from both launchers.

Ah cheers lads, I`m just trying to have my phone set up so it has as less apps/programs running as possible, I want it to be smoooooth running!

Anyone else have problems setting default launcher? i have TW and pro but every time i click home screen it asks to set default, says the default is set in manage applications...
Any ideas?

Try a restart dude, sounds stupid but might work, then select and check the default box when prompted.

Alternatively you could try get a rom from the dev section where TW has already been removed. I don't recommend removing it manually if you're not sure what you're doing..
Also, they're both just launchers, so they just list links to apps. If you remove an app in TW, it will be removed from LP

ive just installed darkys rom can someone please explain why i have two launchers ie launcher and tw launcher - what do these do and which one should i use as my default. thanks

Launchers launch your app. It's up to you which you prefer.

Lockscreen Wallpaper MANUALLY change

Hi all!
Have a question. i'm on stock based rom
How can i MANUALLY change lockscreen wallpaper. what files should i push to system folders?
I get FC when i try to change wallpaper using Settings\Display\Lockscreen wallpaper option.
Several custom roms already provide NOT stock lockscreen wallpaper and i want to know if i can change it myself.
Please dont advice me to change the lockscreen app.
and YES, i did search this forum and found partial solution here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520258&highlight=lockscreen
But in that solution the LOCKscreen wallpaper changes as fas as i change the HOMEscreen wallpaper and i want 2 separate\different wallpapers

noone knows the solution?

what UI are you using eg: touchwiz or go launcher? also are you on rooted stock rom?

You may have to mod the apk file manually to inject your wallpaper...
Using Gallery you can also just search for the wallpaper you want to add wherever it is located...easier solution IMHO...

Did you ever figure this out?

cant you go to gallery and open the pic you want as wallpaper and hit the menu button and select "set as"

Gallery > Image > Set As > Lockscreen Wallpaper.

Ah i guess. Im on a stock galaxy nexus but thought you guys were on stock rooted roms for your devices. so figured you would be in the same boat as me. Stock jelly bean can't set lock screen wallpapers.
Oh well

[Q] Unable to arrange icons in menu screen - Paranoidandroid 2.12 - JB 4.1.1

Hi guys
I'm using the amazing rom which called Paranoidandroid 2.12 and when I'm trying to edit and arrange the icons on the menu (not on homescreen) and even creating a new folder it's impossible .. tried using nova & apex launchers and it doesn't work either .. is there any way to do that ?
Thanks,
Moshe

What you are referring to is the App Drawer, not the "menu" (big difference!).
Creating folders and rearranging the program icons within the App Drawer is something that is specific to Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and as such is something that you can't do in Apex or Nova.
What you can do, however, is set up the top headers to be pseudo-folders. Currently it should say something like "apps" and "downloaded" and "widgets" or similar. With the paid-for Apex Pro (I know Nova does the same, but I am unfamiliar with the launcher and the corresponding process) you can customise those headings. On mine, for example, I have the headers set to "Programs" (I HATE the phrase "Apps"), "Tools" and "Games" with the widgets list disabled.
So, if you are after folders, and can make do with only three folders (the widgets section is redundant as long as you can add a widget to your homescreen with long-press) then you can do that with Apex Pro.
Unfortunately, there USED to be a thread in the apps section for the JB GSIII Touchwiz launcher for CyanogenMod 10, but for some reason I can't find it anymore to link it to you...

so, arranging the icons on the menu like on ics (not on the homescreen) not available on jb ?

you still mean the App drawer, not the menu! The menu is the text list that appears when you press the left capacitive button on the phone or the three dots in apps. The App Drawer is the full list of all programs you have installed on your phone with icons. The two are very different, please refer to the correct thing as it's very confusing otherwise!
anyway, as luck would have it, I've found the thread for Touchwiz on CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854826
If you install this then you will be able to do everything that you remember and require from stock Galaxy Note ROMs including folders in the app drawer.
As another clarification for you, ICS and JB are not the problem for you. When you say ICS you mean the stock Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Touchwiz based ROM, and when you say JB you mean Paranoid Android 2.12 CyanogenMod 10 based ROM. Those last bits are crucial. Apex runs on ICS just find and you still can't do the folder thing that you want to do with Apex on ICS. Only Touchwiz - regardless of Android version - can do the folders and rearranging of icons in the app drawer.

I didnt try that launcher but i think thats not a bug
In touchwiz,when you change the wallpaper,you need to select whether to scroll or not to scroll

can't find the option to enable that ..

When you select a wallpaper,you will see two modes below the wallpaper(normally we get it in the tw).If you can see that,select the first one and you get scrollable wallpaper

[Q] Stock Widgets not Showing up .....???

Stock widgets are not showing up in other launchers like Nova Launcher (For eg Accuweather widget ) . Is there a way to enable those widgets..? Thanks in Advance...

That's a known issue, even I have noticed that.. I don't think there is any other way to use the Accuweather widget while using Nova Launcher.. you will have to try other weather widgets.. I'm using the Google Now widget - it displays weather info as well...

I solved that issue with pushing the apk in the system.

Oh! Can you pls tell how to do it...?

I guess I was wrong and/or forget what i was doing, but the stock weather widget does not work from TouchWiz on Apex. Sorry for misunderstanding.
You can only install a similar version of that widget for Apex .

Pixel C Launcher + Wallpaper Picker

Hey All
Wondering if anyone has had any luck with Wallpaper picker from the new Pixel Launcher ZIP located here:
http://llabtoofer.com/2016/09/12/pixel-launcher/
I've installed it on my 6P along with the picker but the picker just crashes whenever i try and change my wallpaper.
Cheers

I'm using the launcher and the picker and have no crashes.
I'm not using from the zip file I have the apks

how do we change the color of the app drawer??

Thanks for that! But still doesn't work I even tried the old Nexus launcher which came before Pixel Launcher and that doesn't even work! But again did work on my P9!

Maybe try a factory reset?

Cheers but if it came to that I'd just leave it. Spent all day setting this thing up haha. Was hoping there was something simple I was missing...shouldn't need a factory reset anyway as the phone is brand new and I only got it this morning

I want to like the pixel launcher but you can't make folders in the app drawer and you can't hide apps either. I'm not rooted and I don't want to root so until Google think to implement these features I'll be giving the pixel launcher a miss...

Put launcher in /system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk, picker to /system/app/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt/WallpaperPickerGooglePrebuilt.apk, set the correct permissions to folder and apk and restart.

Ya guess you would not need a reset

wow. Thank you for the APKs. Both work great on Android 7 , Stock and Lock Bootloader.

Well this is odd! I'm already on Nougat (official latest build) as I say but this morning I got a small 40MB update stating that it fixed bugs. I installed it, I then installed the Pixel Launcher and Wallpaper Picker and this time they both worked fine!
