[Q] GR-11 App Sorting

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542

I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?

Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.

Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

I just swapped over to Launcher Pro.....everything is sorted nicely now!

I went with ADW free. Works great so far. Loving GR-11.

Go Launcher EX sorts it well.

Launcher pro for the win..

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .

Looking for some cool lock screens. Can anyone help?

Can't go wrong with WidgetLocker (it's worth it).

Went to the play store to get Widgetlocker and I get a message stating that my device is not compatible.

I'm running qqlauncher, not many themes or widgets, but you can get widgets else where.
Well any who, also comes with a very good lockscreen.

Hmm... odd thing. Widgetlocker is not even showing up in a search at the Play Store. I have it installed so it shows up in my installed list with the "device incompatible" msg as well. I installed it from a Titanium Backup.

Go Locker is free and has a lot of themes available. I use it (I've even made a couple themes for the market...er..."play store"). And I think you may be able to use it without needing to have go launcher as your default home. As long as you set it up while using go launcher/ go locker, you might be able to switch to whatever other launcher you prefer. I may be mistaken since I haven't tried it myself (I use go launcher), but friends with samsung phones have tried it and can use it with other launchers.

I like that one too.
I like being able to change which shortcuts I have available and have more than 3 or 4. That's why I made my own that has 4 app shortcuts and the home unlock. If anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, it's free on the market here:

Thank you!! My LCD density was set at 256. I changed it back to 240; still didn't work. So then I cleared the Dalvik cache and the data from Goggle Play Store and now I can download apps once again!!

I think what you need to do is set the "Go Switch Widget" as a Device Administrator. Go to menu>settings>location & security>Select device administrators and then check the go switch widget.
The stock moto locker should not come up (except for when your phone boots up from a shutdown/restart). Let us know if that's what fixes it.
Also, just as a side note, make sure when you install a different theme for Go Locker that you do NOT hit "open" after the install. It will give you an error. After you install a theme, you just need to select it from the Go Locker menu. I've had a few friends complain that a new theme doesn't work, but it's because they didn't read the directions .

hmm..i can't find "Go Switch Widget" under device administrator.

You might need to download/install it then. The only reason I did is because it told me to. Strange that you didn't get the same message.
If you don't mind, try it out and report back.

Lock Screen Opinion
I would have to say Go Locker. Has a lot of themes IMO and if use the pin to get into the phone don't even have to type the enter key. I just want my phone unlocked faster.

found this cool lockscreen Active Lock Screen on play store.. its pretty neat, got loads of customisations for shortcuts and also a few themes..

[Q] Question About Using Launchers, Specifically About Nova Launcher

So from the amazing Google Play 25c deals I got Nova Launcher. I understand that CM9 uses something called Trebuchet launcher. Thing is when I press the home key, I have a choice between the 2 (and I can choose to make one of them default), and both work. But doesn't this use a lot more resources and stuff, even if I set Nova Launcher to default? I'm not replacing Trebuchet, I'm kind of overlaying Nova Launcher. So does any have any insight on this? Will I save up memory and possible other resources by removing my widgets and/or icons from my default homescreen (Trebuchet)?

Delete trebuchet from /system/app literally delete it problem solved

So if I make a backup, delete it, and then restore it later on, what does it save. Would it save my homescreens with the positions of all my icons and widgets? (not a big deal tbh but would be nice)

if your using tibu or rom toolbox you need to save data and app so it will save preferences but more then likely you will lose some info in the backup

Just to be clear, my backup, all I'm doing is renaming the apk file to .bak (and thus "deletes" it).

You can delete it, but I'd recommend keeping it in case nova crashes. Having a 2nd launcher installed could save you from having to go to download mode and wiping everything if something goes awry with the one you're using. I personally use nova, but keep trebuchet on my phone for this very reason because someone much smarter than myself recommended I do so. I haven't noticed any slowdown by having both installed.

Thanks a lot. I guess just in case, I'll delete my icons and widgets from my homescreens, I took screencaps of them anyways if I ever want to use it again.

Trebuchet is a memory hog. I'd recommend downloading something lightweight but functional, like Lightning Launcher or Nova's long-lost cousin Apex, as a backup instead, then backing up and deleting Trebuchet.

Yes and then I click "Always" (I want apexlauncher to be my standard launcher) and when I restart my tab...he keeps asking it again.
I thought the problem was apex so I installed another launcher but it's the same problem...

So two things that you can try: go into apex settings and choose to keep launcher in memory. You'll have the annoying persistent notification but it might work. Or, go to settings, go to "Home" and see if you can choose the default there. Otherwise I'm at a loss, bro...

[Q] Choosing toolbox crashes settings

As title, I'm running 5.02 (Netherlands) on a P900. Everything is pretty good and I can switch on toolbox but if I actually select toolbox then settings crashes. Any ideas?
EDIT: Did a data wipe and that fixed it. Wiping the cache did not sadly.

Same thing happened to me, after going to the notification panel and switching it on from there, it stopped freezing and is working like normal

Same problem with my US version and 5.02. I did a Wipe Cache and that didn't solve it. Also, I don't have the tool from the notification panel, just in the Settings. I am not ready to factory reset.

Try just turning it on, then let it force close, hold the toolbox, then go up to edit, then it should work from there

1. Turn it ON
2. Press and HOLD and drag it UP to edit
3. You will find a list of apps. Choose 5 favorites
4. Click DONE.
5. Go back to the settings, and you will see it active

Thank you. I can confirm that it works now.
I think it's the initial set up that's causing it to crash. Once you have one app on the toolbox, setting no longer crashes when pressing toolbox.

Well, I did figure it out in the original post
Looks like we have a way that doesn't involve a data wipe now though, so that's better

Thanks, this worked.

Wish I would have read this before I did a hard reset

Oh, that's what those 3 dots are!
Thanks, Yoshi! I've been trying to figure out what those 3 Dots were once my Note Pro "downgraded" to 5.02.
I'm having crashes with Toolbox as well. Once I followed your instructions, the 3-dot icon had the apps I picked. Then I realized this was "Toolbox". Of course, a little documentation about what was being changed by version 5.02 would have been a great help. But it seems like it costs too much nowadays to create documents along with hardware/software.
But why would I need Toolbox when I've been using Slider Launcher app for a few months to do the same thing? And Slider doesn't have the 5 app restriction of Toolbox as well.
Now if I can only get my Logitech Pro keyboard and the Samsung keyboard to work like they did under 4.4, and the S-Note widget to show all my notes ... well, here's hoping 5.03 will be soon coming and enhance my tablet instead of degrade it.
