Organize app drawer alphabetically? Don't have "a-z" button - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Here someone shows us how to organize the app drawer alphabetically: https://youtu.be/Kvhf9KLLmSA?t=16m38s. 1 problem: I don't have that a-z button? Does anyone knows how to get it?
Edit: nvm, just found out that there's another topic about this.

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.
Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.
Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time
If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....
install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

My android app is running fine but on one of the pages there is a list that is longer then the phones screen and it will not allow you to scroll down. How do you fix this?

Use a scrollview to make the layout scrollable http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ScrollView.html
Thanks

[Q] Change App Name?

Is there any simple way of changing the name of an app within the App Drawer? Most of what I am finding when doing a search are threads a few years old, so figured maybe there might be other options to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Their's an application in the Play Store called "App Name Editor" maybe that will help you out.
Thanks for the assist, but that only works on the homescreen and not within the app drawer.

As far as I know, you can only do this if using a custom launcher. I use Nova Launcher and you can edit names, change icons and so on.
Hope this helps

That helped a freakin TON! I had Nova Launcher but till you mentioned it having the option I never noticed. After reading your post it made me go back in and noticed after hitting Edit on the shortcut on homepage that there was the 3 dots for the extra options menu and there it was... and works like a champ!
Thank you. :good:

Not without root. You need Galaxy labs which comes only with the s7 or custom s6 roms.

Can't you use a launcher? Surely there has got to be a dodgy launcher in the play store that mimics this awful and annoying iphone feature?

Apps to Home Screen

Hello, I have been looking and have not found the information I am looking for. I'm hoping someone can help here.
Is there a way to bring any of the apps to the home screen? Also is there a weather app I can download and use on the S2?
Thanks

Yes, look through the Samsung store. There are plenty of watch faces that allow you to link your favorite apps to the watchface.
