Touchwiz4.5 for SGN

Hey Peeps ,
So i am trying to Mod the Touchwiz4.5 launcher to somehow make it better for our SGN ...
The things on my priority list are
1. ability to hide the status bar
2. getting bigger icons ....
I've tried to make the icons bigger (see attached pic) and now need to somehow change the code to be able to hide the status bar ......
Will share if i have any news at all....

Can you make an alphabetic sort possibility ?

One useful feature if possible is to lock desktop icons..I find this very useful as in apex launcher etc..another feature is to increase number of screens to like 15 ...some may find this strange but I like to have many pages/screens...thanks

It would be great !!

It would be awesome to have touchwiz launcher 4.5 on our Note.
It is very fast and responsive compared to the stock one

You can do that with the help of an app from the Play Store/Market, called Appzorter.

Umm correct me if i am wrong but i think Appzorter only works with the stock touchwiz4.0 and not with 4.5 ....

Icon Size
Guys ,, the icon size(App Drawer) in the attached image on the first post ,,ur opinion ,,,, is that too big or just about ok?

Sounds stupid but coming to touchwiz. Biggest thing that annoys me is not being able to move the app draw icon to thr middle. And also the folders open massive. Even with 2-3 apps in

I know, I mean for the mean time if h/she's using TW 4, they can use Appzorter to alphabetize the apps.

Any news on the modded TW4.5 launcher? Really loved it on all my android devices a port would be great .

I´m really missing the landscape mode on TW. Is there any possibility to apply an hack for it?!

Try litening rom it has TW working also in landscape and really smoothly ! Envoyer depuis mon galaxy note . .

Can you use other launchers on the Note 10.1 or does Samsung's interface prohibit that (don't have mine yet, just curious)?

Yes you can. I am using GoLauncher HD with no loss of functionality.

Thanks. Just found another thread about this in the Q&A section. Guess I will have to wait and see how I feel about the Samsung UI.

I actually thought Touchwiz was pretty good, my only real issue was with folders on the home screen. I organize my apps in folders instead of using multiple home screens. The problem was is that when I launched an app from one of the folders and then got out of the app the system thought I wanted to rename the folder, Got a little annoying.

I am a little confused when there is talk of launchers because some people talk about replacing Touchwiz with a launcher and I use a launcher called CircleLauncher Lite and still use Touchwiz. I use CircleLauncher Lite because it allows me to place icons on my desktop for different links like my Office icon and when I click on the Office icon a ring opens around the icon with icons linked to programs I use that are office related.
So what is the difference in the launcher I use and the launchers that replace Touchwiz?

circle launcher is just an app launcher, not home screen replacemet
i real launcher means a home screen replacement, they have different UI . u can try nova, apex, go, spd shell etc

Sounds like people should be calling the home screen launcher a desktop shell since it changes the user interface, function and look.

I second that. I like it because you can still use the stock one too, switch back and forth.

using NOVA Prime, so far seems good.

Using Apex Launcher Pro and it is butter smooth on my GT-N8000.

i second that

I love the idea of Chameleon to switch between a "home" and a "work" profiles, but the all-widget concept does not seduce me. I need icons :laugh:

Chameleon Launcher
How is the chameleon interface and S-Pen interaction??
And, is it really that cool they "make believe" in commercials and app demos?

I use chameleon along with gesture shortcuts launcher whic lets you lsunch apps, web sites and even toggle switches by just drawing on your screen. Works very effcient for me. I draw a square to launch netflix, draw and eye to kaunch instagram etc...

I, on the other hand, love the all-widget concept. And the widget api seems really simple if you have some programming knowledge.

There isn't so much use for the S-Pen in chameleon as of now (and i don't think there is any support for it, but that's only a guess for now).
I wouldn't say that it is cool yet, but it reeks of potential.

I followed tsf since before release and it looks alot better now. Chameleon looks nice too. But i just feel launcher developers are charging too much. I mean 10 and 16 bucks ya right . Launchers should have free versions and a pro for like 5 bucks tops...
Currently im using tw launcher and own apex pro but havent felt the need to change yet

[PORT][4.0+] MoToBlUr LaUnChEr eXtreme

Hopefully nobody got to porting this before
You may think this another ORDINARY launcher. You are wrong. It is far smoother, and provides a special quick settings page so that you don't have to go to the app every time you want to turn on/off GPS. Cool, right?
Works with 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, you know....
Works with phones and tablets (and phablets )
So, with those words, I bring to you MY MOTOBLUR LAUNCHER. Taken from the ATRIX HD.
If you have problems, install it as a system app, and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Don't report bugs till you follow the last three steps... the first is optional (install as system).
Just the launcher

Well, after you install it, you press the home button and select the launcher, or "desktop" and choose Homescreen. Then you'll have a whole new experience with your GS3.

Its built on the ICS framework, so no, it won't work on Gingerbread and you can't port it.

Hai all. I really like this launcher but when i try put 3d clock problem loading widget appears . Any idea how to fix that ? I try reinstall weather&3d clock but same happens. Sorry 4 my bad eng .

Thanks, works well, installed with no issue as others say, just installed the apk's, can't go wrong. Its pretty basic, like the circle clock (swipe up/down to change) and weather but that's it, nothing special, just another nova/apex/trebache etc. cheers
