Adding apps to home screen - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone found this problem? I arranged my apps into folders into the app drawer, but when i come to extracting the apps to place back into the app drawer or the homescreen, touchwiz force closes. Only way to restore is to clear data for touchwiz.
I think its a bug. Im on zedomax's custom rom with root. It was doing this before i rooted also.

[Q] Widgets aren't available after install

When I install an app that is just a widget or has widgets that come with the program they don't show up in the widget list. This has happened before after I flashed a rom. Only the apps I restored from titanium backup would show up in the widget list. And some widgets that I would add to the home screen would disappear after a reboot. Eventually it just stopped doing all this but it has started happening and I'm not sure what's causing it. Any ideas on how to solve this?
I have a D1, Liquid gingerbread 1.3-update1, and GO launcher.

[Q] Apps drawer folders

Anyone figured out how to create folders within the apps drawer or at least reorganize the apps yet?
I was looking at another home launcher like GO Launcher EX, but want to really test out Sense 3.0 since I've never used it before...

[Q] Does anyone know how to hide app icons in the Drawer?

Hello fellow N5 users~! I am hoping that someone out there knows the solution to my frustration.
Coming from TouchWiz and 3rd party launchers such as Apex and Hololauncher, I'm very used to having the ability to hide app icons inside the app drawer. If I have the apps as shortcuts on my homescreens, dock, and folders, I like hiding the reduntant app icons inside the drawer so that when I do enter the drawer, I don't have to filter through the apps (I have 120 apps installed).
I found some apps that promise to hide apps inside the drawer but they seem to only work by disabling the apps, which leads to app icons in the homescreens, dock, and folders to disappear as well.
So is there a way to hide apps inside the app drawer like we can with Apex?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no way to do this with the stock launcher.

Anyway to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?

Just restored all my apps to a new phone using Titanium but the only drawback to that manoeuvre is all 150 apps are in the app drawer now and I need to drag each shortcut individually to the home screen. Is there a setting to tell Titanium to put shortcuts on the home screen?
Is there anyway now for me to bulk move apps from the app drawer to home screen?
There must be an app, an exposed or play store app that can do this, my phone is rooted - its a Galaxy Note 2 touch wiz 4.42.
For future reference is there anyway to backup my home screen folders and app shortcut setup when moving to a different phone/hardware?
No one?
Did a good search on play store but the only thing I could find was app drawer replacements
Is there any exposed app that can do this?
I have discovered a way using Nova launcher, install nova before restoring apps from titanium and in the settings tell nova to put a shortcut on the home page for newly installed apps. Then when titanium restores the apps a shortcut will be placed on the homescreen for each app, remember that is Novas homescreen not the vanilla launcher of your phone.
I use Nova now so all the homescreen app placements are restored with the app but maybe this may help someone.

Restore Touchwiz Launcher

Hi guys I set up my wife's s6 and while trying to use helium backup to restore done apps without rooting her phone. I restored the icons to the new phone and now it won't stop force closing. I installed a third party app. But she really wants touchwiz back because of the widgets.
The help I need is,
Is there a way to reinstall the app?
I've tried with one I found online but it won't install because it won't overide a system app. I didn't know if there was a way to force it and if someone could post am apk of the launcher to try that one also.
Thanks,
Try going into app manager in setting and find the app launcher you installed. Click on it and to go to app info and click the button that says clear defaults. Once it does press the home button and it should ask which launcher you want as default.
what launcher did you have? i dont think touchwiz gets "uninstalled"
like in nova > settings > select default home
Yes I know all that. But touchwiz force closes so it won't let me use it. I have Nova as a backup
So you were restoring apps using Helium Backup and it restored an icon pack? Can't you delete the icon pack?
