Status bar & dock modification - General Questions and Answers

Is there any way that these 2 bars could hide?
example: if i put my finger on the top of the screen and go it down it can open status bar, and if i put my finget at the bottom and move it, to open the dock bar.

Nova launcher will do this plus much more. I highly recommend it!

i am using nova launcher. Do i have to buy it? If yes, is there any other app that can do that?

well i tryed with nova, but this isn't what i want. I want something like the computer. When you go your mouse at the taskbar it auto pop up and if you move the mouse away it will automatically hide again. So i want with my finger to make the pop up.

If you have a good phone try nova , a bad phone ( like galaxy ace , y ... ) then try ADW launcher cuz its fast

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 . .

Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket ICS Issues

Hello everyone. I have a few questions of which I'm trying to get resolved. Today I upgraded my phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and I've noticed a few issues. First, the icons on my phone such as the messaging icon, phone icon and camera icon look exactly the same as they did before I upgraded it. I've noticed from photos online that with ICS they look different. Like the phone icon is blue, and the messaging icon looks different. Is there something wrong or is it that the icons were not changed on the Galaxy S II Skyrocket? Also, when I go to the applications screen where all my applications are, it still makes you scroll to the right or left to see the different pages of apps. I thought that they changed it to where you scrolled up and down instead of left to right. My phone has also been changing my home screen wallpaper on its own. (before the update and after still) If anyone can answer my questions, I'd be deeply appreciated! Thanks again! Nicci
Note: I haven't tried official stock ics or the stock leaks. I am on Sky ICS with official rogers ics base
It doesn't sound like any real problems are occurring. Icons can be changed through replacement launchers such as Apex or Nova. I am not sure about the messaging app color. As for app drawer scrolling, this should be able to be changed in settings if u prefer vertical scrolling over horizontal. These aren't actual issues but rather preferences and things that can be changed by simply taking a stroll through settings
I have no idea about the wallpaper changing on its own

I checked the touchwiz launcher (which I had only used for 5 min after flashing sky ics) and it appears u are correct in that there isn't an option to change the layout here.
Download Apex or Nova launcher (for a more pure ics feel) and u will be able to change the app drawer to your liking. It is smoother than Touchwiz and looks much nicer as well. I prefer Apex but both are good. Give them a try and also download home switcher from the play store. This way when you select a launcher as default you won't have to clear defaults to simply load another installed launcher. The one problem is the set default within the app doesn't work to my knowledge so if u want to change your default launcher you will have to clear defaults anyway.

Your information is beyond helpful! None of this was known to me beforehand. After doing research, what I'm noticing is it seems to be that most ICS features are only on the Nexus. Such as the ability to access the camera from the lock screen, and numerous other features. A lot of the features from the ICS website simply are not on this phone. Odd.

I didn't review the ics website but camera can be accessed through lock screen through the use of an app. You can use widget locker $$ (haven't used) but have read good things) or go locker (free). I used go locker previously because I would use go launcher while on gb. Go locker requires you to have go launcher downloaded in order to use btw. Another one you could try is magic locker (also haven't used).
What are these other missing features you are referring to?

I see. I'll have to go on the website again and read it over. Thing is, why are we having to download apps for these functions to work? If it is ICS, shouldn't the features be universal on every phone, and not just one? (Such as the Nexus S)

This is different then ics on the nexus because that is pure Google while the Skyrocket gets Samsung's touchwiz UI over the top.

If you are having trouble with the keyboard then go into app and clear data in android keyboard. It can be found under all apps. If this doesn't help ur messaging problem (I don't think it will) then u may want to clear data in the messaging app (as long as you are fine with loosing your mms)

Looking for a new launcher..

Okay so I'm running PACROM and I want a new launcher.. kinda like an iPad one, the reasoning for this is because i never use widgets so I go straight to the app menu every time i wanna load something so i wouldnt mind cutting that out so just having all my apps on the home screen like thanks
This isn't quite what you're saying but similar I use GMD and I created one gesture that brings up about fifty of my most used apps. its real handy
. One two finger Pinch for that one then another two finger Expand for all the settings shortcuts. I rarley go to the drawer now and my 2 (only) Homescreens are only a clock and my wallpaper. Super fast setup.

People please, hold your horses. He's referring to the smoothness of the device as why it's not as smooth as the iPhone is. Well firstly it all comes down to the specs of your handheld device.
If you are on a popular phone or have a phone that has either Jelly Bean Or KitKat then I suggest you switch to that as it had vsync which increases the frame rate display. It makes your device run smoother than usual. If you're on a low end phone a then there isn't much you can do unless you clean up your phone a bit.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
use custom rom like MIUI ROM.,
before any suggestions on how to speed up your phone or make it smoother can be answered, we need to know which phone you have ie: make, model, year, android version etc.
i say this from experience, until very recently my phone no one was supporting my phone for custom roms, no working cwm even, and still no custom kernels so to get a proper answer that will really help we need your phone details bud.
cheers

Agree. One of the best launchers
If you want to increase responsiveness on your phone install Seeder. Its reccomended if you have a old or low end android device.

Either buy an iPhone, or buy a new high-end Android phone.
Or tweak your device. It's all in here.
