Well i now know how to disable the search bar in ICS. When disable the bar, i was expecting to take advantage of the entire 4 ich screen but i cant. The space is blank and i cant put anything there. Is there a fix for this or a mod or something?
Not as of yet. Its just useless space. I'll let you know if I come across anything

You could try out Nova Launcher. Its a launcher that only works on ICS roms (including stock). It attempts to emulate the theme of the stock launcher while also being smoother and with some additional features added.
One of these features is the ability to remove the Google search bar so you can have an extra row available for icons and widgets.

How do I add more app shortcuts in the box at the bottom of the screen, by default there is only 3 spaces, how do you add more?
Thanx
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
go to ADW settings and UI Settings.
Disable DESKTOP DOTS and select SECONDARY ACTION BUTTONS.
That should do the trick
Or you can swipe the app drawer button up to reveal the dock bar.. You can add as many apps as you want to that.

how do you get the dock draw back? EDIT: nevermind, i found out, its harder to work out with no app shortcuts in the dock bar.
Also is there a way to scroll down the app drawer like the original Home Launcher?
i believe it scrolls across by default.
found solution.
go into adw settings, > drawer settings > disable horizontal drawer.

ah thanks for that, ive switched from HelixLauncher to this now
Don't no whether its just me again but, I feel that adw launcher drains my phone quicker than the standard home. Anyone else experiencing the same? Or I'm i just being paranoid about the battery life!? :0s lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've been using ADW for a while, and helix before that.. And I don't have any concerns about battery drain on adw.

what about the difference of battery time between helix launcher, adw and the built-in home? before update, helix improved the battery dramatically, what about it after firmware update?

I like swype pad, and circle launcher for organizing my apps. Gives a clean look.
smooth calendar: customizable and has nice settings
beautiful widgets for weather and stuff, highly customizable
desktop visualizer: make anything an icon, very useful
missed it: see missed calls text, and emails
launch-x pro: allows you to have like 12+ apps in a 4x1 area, awesome for my quick contact buttons
I use some others but those are loaded onto every phone I get
Hi guys
Yesterday I thought about this idea
Is that possible to develop a multitasking gestures that you can swype you're finger and get to the next app? I like in ios
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
search xda for lmt
or you can use apex launcher, in the swype section, choose recent apps,
I tried my best to figure it out myself and searched for it but I'm too much of a Noob at this. Btw I tried the palm swipe and it didn't work.
Also any way to run a 5x5 grid on this?
Sent from my SGH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The default hardware key combo for screenshots is to hold down the home and power buttons together for a couple seconds.
As for the 5x5 grid, just download a third-party launcher from the Google Play Store.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you want a 5x5 TouchWiz launcher, I recall seeing some modded versions of TouchWiz over at the GT-I9300 forums. Just an FYI though, widget scaling gets all screwed up when you use those. Been having the same problem with the 4x5 on Synergy.
I recently rooted and flashed liquid smooth onto my galaxy s3. Before I rooted it I had custom icons that took up the entire 1x1 grid on nova launcher prime. Now that I have flashed a custom rom my icons are a lot smaller. I'd like to know how to make the icons bigger that take up the whole 1x1 grid. Also when I go into the menu, whenever I press the icon size button, nova launcher immediately crashes. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
This picture I uploaded is how the icons look now.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
You can change the icon size by going to nova settings/look and feel/ then icon size.
But as I've stated above it crashes on me every time. Would anyone know how to bypass this?

Did you restore nova via a back up? Glitches can develop in apps when restoring them to a new rom. It's best to reinstall and set up from scratch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Thanks for the quick reply! I did not restore from a back up because I forgot haha but I was successful in remaking the theme other than the icon size. I would reinstall nova launcher but when I go to the app store or app manager it doesn't give me the option to uninstall

Open apps manager through settings and uninstall it inside or use TB

LiquidSmooth comes with Nova as it's launcher. So to uninstall, you will need to install a different launcher as a temp, then using a root level file browser, delete the Nova Launcher apk file. Should be good to install it from Play store and continue from there.
