I just started playing with my new Note 12.2. I noticed that there isn't a bottom row of icons that don't change between home screens. The bottom row is present on my Note 4 and Note 8. Was this something that was left out of this device? if not, how do i enable it?
The dock?
To my knowledge that isn't included in the UI of tablets larger than 9". You'll have to use a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova.
I kind of thought it may be something like that. . This is my first large tablet.. Thanks for the answer!

Very cool concept I like it. Hmmm icons. Reminds me that someone needs to write an app to tag icons and folders to home pages, or a replacement jump bar with named home screens for the 9 white dots on the stock gtab.

They did its called launcher pro
I tried LP on my EVO and ended up using smart shortcuts. It seemed to bog down the evo but the functionality was terrific. Maybe Ill give it a shot on the gtab.
I was thinking something a little more lightweight. Im not sure you can replace the 9 white dot bar on top of the gtab used to jump to home screens but was thinking something like a status bar drop down that launched a window with 9 named buttons to jump between screens.

Are there any ADW themes that stretch the width of the tab?
All of mine ive found leave a half inch-ish on either side. Is it a limitation on ADW at this point

Appreciate the response. However, I am not refering the ADW Launcher app in general, but specifically the dock bar at the bottom of the ADW Launcher home screen.
None of the dock bars in any of the ADW themes stretch the width of the Galaxy Tab's screen.
Are you talking about the scrollable dockbar revealed when you hide the launcher buttons, or the AB launcher buttons? On the themes I use the "hidden" dockbar stretches, but the AB launcher buttons leave space to the left and right for me. On the themes I use, there's usually a few pixels space on either side on my droid, but maybe around 1/2 the width of an icon on either side on my tab. Your best bet is probably to check with the dev or with the issues on his github site.
Does anybody have a clue how to do it.

If you are talking about the default TouchWiz homescreen you can pinch (zoom out) on one of the homescreens. This will show all your homescreens like tiles. You can do the same thing with Menu > Edit. Then you can rearrange them by holding and dragging them where you want. The first homescreen (top left) is the default.
If you mean in the browser (assuming default browser) Menu > Settings > Set home page
Yes, I'm aware of that.
What I meant was making screen no. 4 as my default homescreen.
In that case I will always start in the middle of the background.

screen 4 is not too different from screen 1. If you swipe left form screen 1, you arrive at screen 7. Only the wallpaper moves in a strange way.
doesnt solve his issue of wanting to be in the middle of a background though
3rd party launchers can do that, i suppose. Go Launcher EX has that option

yes it has - also launcher pro
This means wallpapers and especially live wallpapers are off center and it's annoying. Some launchers allow you to set the Page you want as home. But is there a way to do it in touchwiz?
I just rooted and installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3RC1-D2VZW on a new Galaxy S3 this weekend. Everything went well, but this is my first exposure to using Trebuchet launcher. Two really basic things that it can't seem to do, or I can't figure out how to do it yet.
1) Rearrange homescreens. On other launchers I've used, there's usually a pinch gesture that will bring up an option to reorder the home screens. I can't find any such option in Trebuchet and I've searched this forum and can't find any discussion of this functionality. I increased my homescreens from 5 to 7 and now I want to rearrange their order, but it does not appear possible in Trebuchet 1.0, is that true?
2) Adding Application shortcut. I've added a couple extra dock pages, and would like to add an Application drawer shortcut to each one, but that does not appear to be possible either. I searched and found the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086465
And there is no real solution for that either.
Seems like two basic omissions in Trebuchet to me, but I can't find any documentation on Trebuchet 1.0 either, so maybe I'm just missing something. Can anyone advise? Thanks!
For your first question usually hitting the home button while on the home screen will bring up your pages for rearranging. For your second question i do not think it's possible. I recommend you go grab Nova Launcher never look back. It will do both of those things you want and much much more. It's in the play store.

Unfortunately no. Pressing home button while on the home screen doesn't bring up a screen rearrangement interface in trebuchet. I've installed ADW launcher as a workaround, huh it seems like a pretty crazy omission in trebuchet. Maybe I'll try nova also, never used that launcher before.

Nova and Apex look exactly like Trebuchet but with more features. Nova is the smoothest of the 3 IMO.

I did create another page in home screen by dragging the icon to the right, without leaving the former empty...

Which launcher works best with the Edge? I'm currently using Nova, just wondering what you guys/gals are using or recommend other than TWiz.
I'm using Apex. I like it because it will rotate in landscape mode. Useful for when mounted in the car.
Im using nova
Apex
im using Aviate
I am shuffling between Nova and Toch Wiz
On Nova you dont get the complete edge experience meaning as soon you are on nova launcher the edge screen hides into your customized text screen. Edge screen is only activated once you swipe over it and then when you click anywhere on the main homescreen the edge screen disappears again
Is this happening for all Nova launchers user? does this happen on all 3rd party launchers?
that's been my experience thus far with Nova...............so kind of why I posted this thread, to see which Launcher works best with the Edge panel.
Nova, because I always have and it has great customization for larger devices
NEXT launcher works great on mine!!!
Folks might consider ss launcher. Seems to be working ok on my edge. It is very customizable. Some things I especially like about it is that the applications page scrolls vertically so you can just flick through them, The icons on the screen can be added without grid so you can have as many rows and columns as you like (although you have to take a little time to make sure they line up well). The actual screen size can be expanded vertically so you can scroll up to see hidden stuff that does not initally appear in the window. For example you could stick extra icons, a calander or message widget that you scroll vertically to get to. Also each screen, landscape and portrait can be customized seperately. It's not perfect but and takes a little effort, but, for me it is worth it. Also when you first run it I has a lot of clutter on the screen to indicate some of its capability but all that can be removed so you can design it the way you like.
Apex work fines on my edge.
The problem with all 3rd party launchers is the edge panel which does not activate on its own when you unlock the phone that's only working on TW for now...
I like Nova along with Swapps ... the dock is on the right side and app drawer is on the left side.
It was pointed out in another thread that using a non-TW launcher also prevents the shortcut icons on the edge panel from updating their counts. If that's not a problem, be sure to get your notification counts down to zero, otherwise your icons will always have the number when you switched. I noticed it with my email program, where the edge panel had a different number overlay than the one in the Nova launcher screen. It wasn't until I ran the TW launcher again that the numbers matched up.

Huh. I've used Apex and Flow Home and my icons on the favorites panel still show the correct "unread" or "missed calls" count. Never had an issue here.
Nova launcher working like a champ as usual.

I use Apex Launcher and it works great with the Edge!!!
Hi. I have a butt load of launchers that I've paid for. The Biggest problem is that my 3 favorites all have issues. I have the official Samsung case. It causes Nova to crash once and awhile when opening the case. When I open the case using apex launcher, sometimes it has somehow half a homepage as if it were in midscroll. Adw seems to work but I miss my transparent notification bar. Sticking to touchwiz for now. I kinda forgot to try the oldie launcher pro.
I've been using the Google Now Launcher. I think it's great give it a try, you might like it
Can someone give a little more information on the GoogleNow Launcher, maybe with some screen shots? I've been eyeing both the Nexus 6 and the Note Edge. Love the hardware on the edge, but I love the look and animations of lollipop on the 6. Wasn't sure how well the Google now launcher replicates the smoothness and animations of stock android, and would love some feedback and thoughts!
