[App] Samsung Galaxy S Launcher (TouchWiz)

All credit goes to rolle3k from the Nexus One Forums, all I'm doing is reposting it here for the Evo users
Original thread
Features
-It does not include the Samsung widgets
-It does work on Froyo and Eclair... I'm running it on the DamageControl Rom
-1 to 7 homescreens
-Application Dock
-App drawer is iphone like style
I would recommend you download the app "Home Switcher" from the market, if you didn't already... Makes it very easy to switch between home replacement apps, and set as default.
Download
TO ADD APPS TO THE DOCK, open up the all the applications by pressing the applications tab, then press menu, then press edit, and drag your apps to the dock as you wish.
Heres some pictures

This is one of the many reasons I love android! Something on another android device you want? Wait a few days and it shall be so!

You are using the built-in application installer most likely, try something like Apkatcher and try installing it again.

Can't get it apkatcher just shows black screen with cancel button

working perfect and uses less memory than stock htc launcher
Im running the current ota update stock and loaded this launcher perfectly ( allow install of third party apps under settings, used apollo file manager). All you need is the samsung widgets plus the 4g toggle ( look in other posts) and you have the epic without a keyboard. Thank you for the option. Love android. PS apple i have reception no matter how i hold my big a$$ phone.

Can someone send me the file...won't let me download

It did that for me as well, I had to download with a computer, then transfer the files to the phone. For some reason when I downloaded directly with the EVO, the file kept getting cut off at 13kb. The file is like 1.5mb

Can someone who's downloaded this and installed it successfully please upload the. apk to RapidShare or something? The problem is that download link lists the file at 1.4mb but when you actually download it the file only ends up being 13kb or something. I believe there is something wrong with that particular download link/site. Thanks
EDIT: posted this before I saw the post above. Sorry and thanks

nice, love the style. any chance on getting widgets?

First, thank you for this, I love it! Second, is it possible to remove the dots at the top? My taskbar already looks busy enough...
<3
Edit: Only on the main screen, the dots on the apps page is useful.

Not without rewriting the apk...you can do it...don't think its worth the time

Open apps question.

I use advance task kill and it seems .like whenever I open it it says I have apps running that I didn't open. Why is this, and how do I stop that?

With Android, you don't need to kill tasks. If it's not using CPU, then its not using battery. Task killer apps do more harm than good.
Read up more about this here: http://lifehacker.com/#!5650894/and...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

You can't stop these apps from opening. The OS does this when it feels like it. The best to do is buy system panel, enable monitoring, and prove to yourself that those apps are using zero CPU by checking the CPU list.

Killing an app

Ok, this is my first day with this marvelous device. I installed Tweet caster, as it was my go to twitter app on my EVO. After I installed Tweet Comb and became fascinated by it, tweet caster on the xoom just doesn't carry too far.
Right now, both are giving me notifications and it's annoying, but I don't want to uninstall caster, either. Other than a reboot, what will fix this issue? Can't you simply exit an app? Do I need an app killer? I've been told app killers are unnecessary with Android, but on my EVO I use the app killer all the time.

I don't use either app, but check the settings. You should be able to turn off notifications. In settings, apps, manage apps though you can stop an app. DO NOT USE A TASK MANAGER.

I agree that task managers that automatically kill apps are no longer required by android. However, in order to close apps easily I use an app called Active Apps, since a lot of apps tend to linger in the background. Put the widget on your desktop and it will give you a running tally of how many apps are running and allow you to opt to quit one or all of them.

I don't know if this will be easier for you, but if you have to kill an app you can also find the app in the drawer and drag it onto the "i" , which will take you to the same spot as finding the app in "settings/applications/manage applications/" then finding the app.

Bookmarks

Where/how are the stock browser bookmarks kept.... I wanna delete and it won't let..... Now its a mission!

Just open the browser-go to your bookmarks-long press the offending-choose "delete bookmark" presto

sorry, I should have been a little clearer, the preloaded matks. CNN, Samsung registration etc...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Scroll to the bottom of the browsers home page touch > Customize Web 2 Go (you'll get a popup) touch > remove icon. And that will remove bookmarks.. that's how I just did it on Froyo..
Most of us don't use the stock browser. You are limited to what stock will download. I use Dolphin HD and had to go check it out for you.
If you only have the stock browser installed I suggest you download one from the Market. They are Superior over stock.
I hope this helped you.
**EDIT**
Didn't see your edit. Lol.

Hating google now search ...

I love how everything on android is easy to accomplish, soit boggles me why google has decided to run its search engine in such cubersome manner... I press on quick search widget, no option to take me directly to default browser, instead I have to search in a simplified google search page where I can't even open multiple tabs, WTF ?!
Any way around this mess ?

Yes, custom ROMs. The Slim Bean ROM I'm using right now lets me open a new "google.ca" tab in my default browser (Dolphin) when I drag from my Home button.

I don't want to flash another ROM, any way to do that with just a root ?

Idk. I usually just click a link and it opens it in browser but otherwise idk.
