Is there a way to have the apps that are displayed on the Applications Screens sorted by name?
The Galaxy TAB does that automatically but on the GT-I9003 they are in some random sequence (or perhaps by install date).

Not possible in default launcher.
You have to install another launcher.
I would recommend Go Launcher... Awesome themes.

First off thanks to everyone from the various SGS forums for this, especially to fear2142.
This is the Touchwiz4 Launcher from the SGS2 ported to work with Galaxy Tabs running a DeOdexed Gingerbread based build (or latest Overcome based on GB).
Changes I made for the Tab:
Fixed XML's to support larger screen
Adjust size for workspace/edit screens
Set Launcher workspace to 6 rows/ 6 columns (fits good)
Set appdrawer to 6x6 layout as well
Adjusted to allow 5 shortcuts on bottom bar
How to install?
This is a CWM3 package, save to sd card, use recovery to install (choose zip from sdcard etc)
You must clear your dalvik cache after install.
Reboot, clear the application data for twlauncher to ensure it displays properly.
This is currenty setup for 240 dpi, I'm working on a version for 182dpi as I type.
*UPDATE*
Alright, I've attached the 182 version. Unfortunatly I just cannot get it to accept a grid any larger than 8x8.. though I suppose that's still 64 spaces right?
Known Issues
Screen rotation is not currently working
Nice one mate!
Nice work! The screen rotation does not work for me.
Nice! Can't wait for 182 version

Awesome, just what I was waiting for
Much appreciated!
[EDIT] Could you create a zip for restoring back though incase we have issues/bugs etc?

How do i get more or diff app on dockbar?
How do I change it so my dockbar icons, apps and message, do not cover up two seperate apps on every page in my drawer?
I have tried both your zips and both have these same issues.

Yeah good call, I neglected to mention that screen rotation is
not working at the moment..
To change the apps on the dockbar, open the application menu and do "menu key" and "edit".
know where I can get those (digital clock weather clock etc)?

You're going to need to add screenshots I think, cause I have no idea what you mean. None of my apps are covered by the dockbar shortcuts.
Are you running at 240 or 182 dpi like the OP says?

Hey can you share a link to the files for the SG2 clock and weather apps?
it's on the i9000 themes and apps forum. Quick search will take you there.

Oh great.. Thanks for that- going now
I thought they were somehow modded to work on the Tab
I'm going to give them a try now
What is the i9000? Is it the Nexus S?
Im not good with phone codes.
Edit- Ignore my stupidity, i found it I knew it was a Samsung but couldnt remember which one haha.
Couldnt get the digital clock to install.

Ok.. So here's the issue. I'm using Nova Prime.(This might not matter which launcher you use) And I noticed that if I uninstall Nova and use the stock launcher again, it shows shortcuts of things I have downloaded. Problem is most of these I already uninstalled while using Nova. But they still show on stock launcher. Is there a way to stop the Note from creating a shortcut icon on the home page so this doesn't happen? I really don't want to keep using a different home launcher knowing that in the background it will be creating home page shortcuts on the stock launcher. As I said when this happens they are present even If I uninstall the app while using a different home launcher..
Am curious to see if anyone else can recreate this issue. To do so, install something from the play store while using a different home launcher(Nova would be best since its what i'm using) and make sure to set Nova or whatever you are using to default then uninstall the app and uninstall the launcher. You should now see the app icon shortcut still present on the stock launcher and when you press it it says app not found or something.
Anyway thanks . Keep in mind if you uninstall your preferred launcher you will loose your settings so do it only if you want to. Either way I hope there is a way to stop our tab from creating "desktop shortcuts" in the background of other launchers:silly:
i think u can disable "create shortcut in desktop" in play store's settings

Auto add widgets is the one, if you uncheck it there will be no more shortcuts on homescreen when you download from playstore.

I just figured out I can make folders on my gsll phone in the app menu. (Not the home screens) I can put all the carrier BS and other app icons I don't want to see in there. It brought my app screens to 3 swipes from 5. Is that a standard Android feature or something Samsung added in with touchwiz? I would be interested in doing the same on my tablet.
That sounds like a Samsung Touchwiz feature. As far as I know, stock app drawer does not support folders/dedicated pages.
However, you can simply get a non-stock launcher such as Apex or Nova and they support app drawer folders, plus a multitude of extra features lacking in the stock launcher

That is possible, just use a third party launcher. I think nova has is
OK cool. I will check out those programs. I figured one of those would do the trick but wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thanks!

I guess Nova has it?
I've never used third party launchers myself, since I think that the stock launcher on the Infinity is rather cool
So the other day I installed JB 4.2 by Team EOS build #92 w/ KatKernel 80b, and I'm loving it so far. Although I have a couple of minor aesthetic issues.
I can't seem to figure out how to reduce (or edit at all) the number of home screens.
I also can't remove the Google Search bar from the top middle of the home screen.
If anyone knows how to solve either of these, it would be much appreciated
Try a different launcher.
The stock launcher does not have options to remove or edit these.
My favorite is Apex at the moment.

Is it possible for someone to develop a sort of "platform" launcher where you can select an apk to run as a launcher? Like when you press home, it opens the "platform" which then loads a launcher from an apk file? Has anyone done this or is it impractical?

Don't know if i got ur question or not...
But if u r talking about custom launchers, they already exist
No, I mean like somebody develops an app where it appears to be a launcher, but then when you go to it for the first time, you select an apk from storage to load when you press home.

That's what the app drawer is for. If you want to be able to press the hone button then select an app to open then just put that/those apps on home screen, then when you press home(just like you would with what you're asking) just select the app you want to open(again, just like you would with what you're asking).
The point is, either way, you're pressing home then choosing an app(this means you'll be pressing home once then selecting an app to open, a total of two button presses), putting the app/apps on homescreen will give you the same thing, you'll press home then tap your app to open(a total of two button presses). You already have the ability to set what you want up without having to modify anything.
-_- lol no! I mean like taking a launcher apk that you normally couldn't run and basically giving it a way to run

A launcher that you couldn't normally run? I don't get you at all. I think you're chasing a unicorn.
Like one that you would need root to install(by placing directly in system folder) such as a galaxy s6 stock launcher. Do you at least get what I'm saying because you're making me feel kinda dumb lol

No, your options are installing a launcher/theme that imitates the launcher you want from play store, there are many of them to try.
If you want the actual stock launcher from another device instead of something that imitates it then you'd have to port that launcher to work on the device you want it on. What you're asking assumes that all devices are the same because the launcher you envision would have to be able to work on all devices to give them all the ability to use the actual stock launcher(the S6 stock launcher for example), that can't be done because all devices aren't the same. Sure, you can make a launcher that works on all devices, but you can't make so that all devices can use whatever stock launcher you want. What you're asking about would have to be modified specifically for the device you want to use it on.

No problem, just look at it this way, the "launchers" from Playstore are not really the same as the stock launchers on devices in that the Playstore launchers are more or less just a skin with options and settings to fit user choice(it goes a little more in depth than that but mainly it just changes the surface), but a stock launcher is the UI itself along with a skin.
There is more to it than that but the specifics would confuse the point.
