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'm on 902 and running Eclipse 2.2, and before every rom install, I reset to factory, wipe cache, format system and wipe dalvik.
I've reinstalled a couple times and have not gotten rid of this problem. Sometimes, upon unlocking the phone, the "eclipse launcher" crashes. And if it doesn't completely crash, the phone behaves very slow and does some really strange things... until the launcher eventually crashes... I contacted the developer with a logcat I created and he confirmed the launcher was crashing. He suggested I install a third party launcher to see if it fixes the problem. I installed ADW launcher EX. Well it fixed the problem, but my battery life has taken a bit of hit. I'd prefer to run the stock launcher, but not sure what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Well uninstalled ADW Launcher EX. Battery life is back to normal. Eclipse launcher still crashing after pattern security unlock. Not always, but every 3 or 4 unlocks, usually after charging my phone overnight.
I too am/was having the force close, and the super slow screen transition. I think its an issue with the eclipse launcher itself for bionic, because a friend of mine does not have this issue with eclipse on his Razr.
I have found a small file size home launcher called Nemus launcher. Very very snappy, great options, so far, problem free while on eclipse, give it a try!

Finally someone else with the same issue! Glad I am not alone. I will try out this nemus launcher. Thanks for the suggestion!
Solved the Eclipse launcher crash problem. The default launcher for Eclipse has been conflicting with Beautiful Widget's Home Widget. I have been running the default launcher with no Home Widget for 5 days, no crashes. Although the Home Widget used to work with no conflicts, I assume that after I changed the weather refresh variable to refresh upon "phone wake", that the problem started happening. (I never associated this at the time). I have not tested the Home Widget with a different refresh variable yet. But for now am happy that I am running the default launcher and have exceptional battery life again!
Both third party launchers I tried fixed the above crash problem (while running home widget), but drained more battery. Glad to be back to default.
Edit: This ended up not fixing the problem. Spoke too soon...

I use beautiful widgets too, but dont have it set on wake. Still not using eclipse launcher though, the Nemus launcher has been perfect as far as performance, customization and battery usage. no complaints here..
Glad you figured out the issue though!
Yea so I jinxed myself. Launcher crashed this morning. I'll try a few other things, will report back if I can get a week of stability I guess.
Has anyone got any alternative launcher working on this, I don't like the big icons filling up my home screen and the app drawer.
Thanks in advance.
I have Nova installed and running for the same reason but as soon as I try to add a widget it crashes and reverts to stock launcher
Why not try Nova Launcher it has a lot of customisation options.
First thing I did was install Nova Launcher
Nova for me and I have not experienced any crashes with widgets.
Just installed newest Version Nova Prime and Tesla Unread. Works perfect
Using Action Launcher .
originally using Action launcher using an imported layout and it kept crashing, but since resetting layout it seems stable.
worst thing about huawei phones is how they manage launchers and keep forcing their launcher on you
try also the microsoft launcher...it's amazing... used nova before but it's so cute and minimalistic. I like it.
I'm using nova (prime) and a android p theme. I had a crash when adding widgets once, but now it works fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a paid version of Nova but it never occurred to me to try it first. I am using it now and I like it, will give the Microsoft launcher a try also.
cheers

It seems to be Huawei specific widgets that bork Nova.
Weather Underground is fine, the Huawei Weather widget really upsets Nova, I've had to wipe the app data just to get Nova to restart
I've submitted a crash report and dump to Tesla Coil, so let's see what happens
I think for emui, you need to use third parties widgets if using nova launcher. Some of the emui widgets will cause crash....
anyone using magisk could try and flash the pixel launcher, thats what i plan to do once i get the phone
really love the pixel launcher on my 5T

Hi there, did you do anything specific to get Action Launcher to work in the first place ? i installed and it just crashes immediately when i try and run it (i've sent a bug report to AL dev team).
No not really.
I reset cache
Completely uninstalled and then reinstalled
Been stable ever since
Sorry I can't be of any more help
I have been using Nova Launcher for years but have switched to Microsoft Launcher as of recent and I have to say that I really enjoy it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
P.S Just make sure to change default search engine from Bing back to Google and desactivate Cortana

Did the same for me no matter what I tried! Using nova now which I'm more than happy with
I use Lawnchair Launcher + Lawnfeed
Nova is pretty awful on the P20 looks like I will be changing away for the first time in years. Previously had on all my phones including the Pixel 2XL.
3rd party widgets just aren't auto-updating. Another Widget, was stuck on yesterdays event, Agenda Widget doesn't display my full calendar and just says "Loading" guess it's time to find something else. Looked at Microsoft Launcher but don't like the way you can't hide the homescreen indicator taking up space at the bottom and not looking clean like I want.
Pixel Launcher works great.
I've had my N8 for a month now and I've seen that ever since that lately, the app drawer has stopped resizing when I change Settings > Display > Display Size. This is incredibly annoying as the 5-across grid is incredibly congested and cumbersome to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. the app drawer grid resized fine earlier, this issue has started happening lately only

Just to eliminate the obvious stuff...
Have you rebooted the phone since changing the display size?

Yes mate, rebooted, cleared the launcher app cache (and a few other caches I could find, Oreo doesn't let you clear the cache in just one touch, unlike previous versions), cleared the launcher app data...
I chatted with Nokia support, they first tried convincing me that the app drawer always had a 5-across layout, and when I asked why it changes in the preview in the settings (under display>display size), they just said it's not possible to do it.
I can agree, it doesnt change. Even when using Pixel Launcher 2.

Aside from pulling the launcher apk from a previous OS update, might be easier to try a custom launcher like Nova, Lawnchair or Pear. They are all derived from the same AOSP launcher as the Nokia stock launcher so you'll still feel at home using them. (Pun intended)

You're right, I gave up and downloaded Evie Launcher. Still disappointed at Nokia Support's handling of the situation though.
I'm not a fan of having huge app icons so I've made Nova my default launcher. very occasionally, maybe 5 or 6 times in the 5 days of having this phone hitting the back key to leave an app or settings has taken me to a homescreen that wasn't mine.
it features apps that I've definitely installed and looks to be the example of how my wallpaper will look in settings / wallpaper.
it's no biggie but it is weird, wondering if anyone else had this ?
SM-G781B/DS
SM-G781BXXU1BUA5
ota updated to 11... not rooted yet
Yes I have the same issue. Than when i go to Nova settings the radio buttons on default launcher are both cleared (Nova & One UI). Seems like a bug. I am using as well Nova Google Discovery Companion. It's crashing from time to time and than I lose Google Discovery feed. The only workaround i find to work i to reinstall companion app.
there's also this weird bug where an icon in the draw at the top vanishes but it's space is there and you can click and open it.
still had to delete and reinstall it to bring the icon back.
Anyone else having problems with "Home" setting?
My FE tends to randomly forget my choice of launcher. I have Rootless Pixel and Nova Launcher Beta installed, and from time to time I find myself back at the OneUI interface instead. When I go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps, I find Home app set...

I have just toggled... we shall see
EDIT:yeah this seems fixed by toggling between launchers, I've not had this for a few days.
