I never really post on here because I can usually find what I'm looking for in the search tab but this one I need some help with. I'm running the N5 express rom on my note 4 and I love everything about it. One thing I want to mod is the scroll looping on the launcher and app drawer. I tried doing the traditional change with root browser, csc, feature, change the value of disable page rotation to false, but every note 5 launcher already has this value but the page rotation doesn't loop. I had this issue with the s6 edge echoe rom as well. I'm not sure if there is something else that needs to be changed in the N5 TouchWiz launcher. I can't post in the development section yet so any help would be awesome. Thanks

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

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.

I've just started using the SSLauncher on my HTC One X and I love it. I decided to install it on my 7.7 today but apparently it's not fully compatible (or I'm doing something wrong). The wallpaper only covers half of the screen....but if I switch back to Go Launcher or the regular Samsung launcher everything works properly.
Is anyone using the SSLauncher with the 7.7 having this problem?
I have not used SS Launcher but I face similar issue when I use ADW EX Launcher, although it's compatible with 7.7 but sometimes when i rotate the tab to portrait mode half of the screen is black...still can't figure how to solve this issue..hope someone knows.
Hi!
Trying with Apex launcher, I think not bad, we can edit logo, replace logo if we want. Also If you like Ipad design, you can use Ilauncher, quite simple and userfull.
Hi!
It's the first time that I'm writing in the Galaxy S section, so sorry if this problem is well-known or the question is stupid. A search didn't reveal anything useful...
A friend of mine has the I-9001 with latest value pack (XXKQG) and she wants to change the order of her apps in the stock launcher, but whenever she customizes the order and saves it, the sorting eventually changes back to alphabetical after some time or after a reboot. Does someone experience similar problems? Is there any fix besides using other launchers?
Cheers

nope, I can only think of using of another launcher or if you want the TW launcher then you may try the modded TW launcher from here. if some one has done it for S+.
Just wondering if any of you switched over to Nova or if your sticking to the stock launcher.
Ive noticed some lag with stock but I enjoy the widgets touch wiz offers.
Stock or aftermarket launcher?
I'm currently using aviate by yahoo and I like it a lot especially with the transparent setting
I pretty much switched to Nova Launcher right away. Didn't even bother playing around with the Touchwiz launcher
Nova, latest beta. Looking good.
I'm using TW with no issues at all.
nova all the time.

As soon as I got all my apps installed, switched to Google Experience.
This is clearly a question - it belongs in Q&A, moved. Please post in the correct sections.
Thanks.

That's the Google Now Launcher? I use a lot of different lauchers in my Note2 but Go Launcher is the one I have the most setup due to the extensive customizability-gestures-3D effects but it wasn't as impressive when I quickly installed in on a Note4 in Best Buy perhaps because I hadn't customized it yet but I also like the Google Now Launcher & Nova & Themer.
I generally immediately get rid of TW but it wasn't as bad in the Note4 but still not ultra smooth or interesting as the other lauchers. I really like the ability to change launchers which is another reason Android is & the next time I play with a Note4 I'll go through more launchers as it could definitely look cooler & be more functional.:good:
I switched to Nova Launcher beta instantly. TouchWiz isn't bad, but I can't stand the grid spacing as I like to keep a few widgets and apps on my main home screen.
I've already switched to Nova, phone should be here Friday. ??

Agree grid of icons gets old fast like lame iOS & I also try to keep icons to a minimum (Go Launcher lets you program 5 base hideable icons to launch additional apps with gestures like swipe up as well as scroll swipe across to another 5 icons & another 5 icons (5x3=15 x 2 including the programmable gestures upon a long press menu = 30 apps-shortcuts-functions) & I use a lot of widgets so I don't even have to click icons to access some data. I don't think non-Prime Nova lets you customize as much as Go Launcher but there are more & more cool launchers being developed & still setting up other launchers I previously mentioned.
Switched to Nova pretty much immediately. As mentioned above I can't stand the spacing between icons. Also I need gesture support, especially with such a large phone. Why that still hasn't been built into the touchwiz launcher I'll never know.
First thing I did was install the ADW launcher. I've been a fan for a long time.
Is the Note 5's inability to scroll wallpaper as you cycle through the home screens a bug or working as intended? If it's not a bug, is this function removed because of Samsung/TouchWiz or Android 5.1.1? (I'm coming from an LG G3 that had 5.0.X on it and it scrolled the wallpaper.)
To be clear, this was the feature that would move your background wallpaper slightly left or right as you scrolled in that direction through your various home screens- I believe it was called parallax effect?
I don't yet have the Note 5 - hopefully wont be too long. But this is a Touchwiz thing and is working as intended. It has always had a static background for as long as i can remember (at least back to the s3). There are some live wallpapers which allow scrolling other than that you can use a different launcher.
This feature was never there in touchwiz... We always used Root, xposed and wanam mod for it to work on TW ( wanam xposed does have tons of useful features for touchwiz)..
Or you could use another launcher like nova

Thanks for the quick responses! I will look into Nova.
Nova is not scrolling wallpaper in my s6 unfortunately

You need to apply the wallpaper using the change wallpaper function in Nova! Works fine using Apex. Make sure multiple scrolling homescreen is on!
Feature not part of TouchWiz
Scrolling wallpapers have never been part of Touchwiz and probably won't be either, they would face so many performance issues with it if they did implement. The problem being they've added the new wallpaper effects that are similar to the motion features on iOS.

I guess you only had touchwiz phone last couple of years or less.
Live wallpaper is way more demanding than scrollable wallpaper and it's still around . In fact I'm running live wallpaper with scrolling effect on both lockscreen and desktop in nova without performance issues. Old galaxies and notes never had issue with that particular feature either. Sammy just likes to force differentiate themselves, even if its extremely dumb. Like having app selection option be set as default ,the first time you pick something.
The last sentence ...no contest....but not much of a compliment.
I'm sure though i saw scrollable option somewhere on touchwiz launcher just recently (checkmark in lower right corner in wallpaper selection). Probably when setting screen from desktop (long press). then again too lazy to confirm now, as i only see tw launcher twice a year. When i buy a phone and when i sell it. Provided i don't have to warranty the thing
