I'm using Fresh 1.0.1. I downloaded the Vanilla apps, and apparently there is no way to un-install them. I'm happy with vanilla lock screen and vanilla clock. But I do not like the new gallery. I wish I could go back to sense.
So my next best option is to just get a new photo gallery app from the market. But I can't really seem to find one.
Any suggestion?

I'm using Fresh as well. For me, I just freeze Launcher Pro using Titanium. (You must have full version) When it completes the "freeze" and you hit the home screen it should ask you what you want to use, ie. Sense, Launcher Pro, Android Mate. Select Sense with the "remember" option and you should be set. You can change back by un-freezing.
A word of warning- if you upgrade Launcher Pro or Flipz drops in a new version and you un-freeze a older version you may go into a FC loop.
EDIT: I posted in the wrong thread! sorry.
But since I did, i might as well be somewhat useful. I was linked here by this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729888
its a thread to find replacement apps for cyanogen vs sense. I very much dislike the "3d gallery" provided by cyanogen. I like a simple file viewer. problem is, if I use something else to browse my files, and click "set as wallpaper" it seems to be conflicted with the 3d gallery program. I then went in to system/apps and removed 3d gallery, but now i cannot set ANY wallpapers. any ideas?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit
Hi everyone. First of all, many thanks to Gary for Root. It was quick and painless.
Now that we have root, I was wondering if anyone knows what needs to be deleted in order to get rid of that pesky pop up menu you get by pressing on the Chevron/Arrow in the middle of the bar.
I have the Wizz Bar (what an unfortunate name) installed and it does the job so much better. If you're wondering what Wizz Bar is, it basically allows you to pick your own applications or commands and bind them to the little Chevron or Arrow in the middle of the Honeycomb Bar (also called the "Mini Apps Tray")
However the built in action that pops up the Task Manager/World Clock/Calculator etc also initiates. Is there some way to remove the TouchWiz Apps Tray?
Or does this require more tinkering than a simple apk deletion from system/apps

It's much more involved. That aspect of touchwiz is buried somewhere in the frameworks. The last time I checked (a month ago), several people on both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 forums were looking for the same thing, but I haven't seen any good solutions.
If you find something over in one of those forums, try to get information on HOW they did it, and I'll try to reproduce it with ours.
I know with HTC phones modding such things requires the knowledge of decompiling, compling and signing apk's using apkTool or apkManager and editing smalis in notepad ++. You would have to track down which particular file contains the code and then know how to edit it to hide the taskbar. As an example just the simple task of hiding the clock in the notification bar of my HTC Incredible phone required the addition of 2 lines of code in the clock.smali file inside SystemUI.apk and the only way to get it to work was to push the file back to the phone and set permissions with adb. You couldn't just copy and paste it back in.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I actually did go look at a bunch of 10.1 and 8.9 ROMs and it looks like there may be a solution out there. I've contacted one of the ROM developers for an answer.
If someone tells you what file to edit and what lines of code to use please post it as it will be useful to the community.
You may install honeybar form market to hide/unhide the bottom bar(notification and clock as well)

i just tried honeybar and it doesn't work for me. I also have go launcher ex installed so not sure if it's conflicting. I see the white box for honeybar, but pressing on it multiple times does nothing (it even goes away eventually as described in the install notes).
Honeybar isn't the solution that most of us are looking for. I myself love the Honeycomb default bar. It's the Mini-Apps Tray that is entirely useless. The least that Samsung could have done was to make the shortcuts changeable by the user.
The whole point of quick access to shortcuts is to have a quick access to the applications you use the most without flipping through homescreens or going to the Apps Tray. Thanks Samsung, I really need the World Time and Calculator more than I need the Browser and Settings Panel.

I've wondered whether there was a way to intercept the trigger that touching the chevron activates and just redirecting it to another command (such as what happens when you hit the "home" button after you've installed a home replacement). That way we wouldn't have to worry about hacking the touchwiz dock for customizing, we just replace it altogether so something else is invoked by touching the shortcut.

Re-mapping the function would be more involved than just turning it off but it is possible if you know what you're doing. For HTC phones there's a mod called rosie remap which does just about the same thing but its a complicated hack. It remaps a + button on the phone that ads apps to the homescreen, the mod allows you to reassign the button so it opens any app you want. I believe this is a framework-res.apk mod. Eventually someone who is familar with touchwiz will do these mods, if they haven't already for the 8.9 or 10.1, which should all be pretty much the same.
Edit: I think the chevron function would be in the touchwiz apk located in system/app but I don't know what Samsung calls it. HTC calls their Sense UI Rosie and you mod Rosie.apk to do the remapping of their UI specific buttons. If the chevron is part of honeycomb itself then it would be in the framework-res.apk file I bbelieve.
This is good info flowing in. I'm gonna see if I can figure out some more.
On a positive note - guess what Samsung changed? Exactly what I was *****ing about :
Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications.

Was there an update that I don't know about that allows this??? I really like the idea of the mini app tray, but like was said before, not having the ability to put your most used apps there makes it pretty useless.
Please explain how apps can now (or in the near future) be changed in the tray.
Thanks!!!
I guess until they release 7.7 we won't know. Unless there's an update out on KIES. But I really doubt it.
Confirmed:7.7 has fully customisable mini apps tray...i'm disappointed in Samsung for releasing 'premium' products in such close succession that are so different in functionality. Why did they not include this basic and important feature on all new of their new tablet products? I actually feel somewhat conned now

Pare, actually like it better because i don't like stock honeycomb desktop and app drawer. I set swipe up gesture to hide/unide the dock and also changed the stock dock icons.
Once we're able to customize the Touchwiz shortcuts, or hijack the launch command so we can tell it to launch something else, I'll be much happier.
For those who've not seen this function in action yet, check it out in this video at 2.05: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=tBpzweqvKJA
Surely Samsung can put this function in tab plus on an update ... and they need to. The app tray is almost functionless otherwise. The presence of this thread is sufficient evidence that there is a high demand and several unsatisfied customers. Many customers have spent over £400 on this tablet. Why did they put it onto the 7.7 which was going on sale only a few days/weeks after the tab plus?

Just for my two cents, I would also like to see the app tray made editable. I've only had my unit for a couple of days, and I already feel its wasted on me for what it holds. Hoping for that to change in a coming update.

Where is this "mini apps?" Did I miss something?
I would like the ability for the stock ICS launcher to rotate based on the phone orientation. Obviously the launcher supports it because it will go landscape when used in any of the various docks.
Back on the Atrix OG, the NoattachTrix4G ROM had the install-time option to make the stock launcher rotate based on orientation, so there must be a way to modify something that allows the launcher to rotate without having to be in a dock. Has anyone looked into that and knows how to do it? In the worst case, I can try to find time to look at the NoattachTrix install script to see what it does (or, if it is just installing a new framework or whatever, get that file and see what was changed).
In the meantime, I was just wondering if anyone else may have already looked into it.
Yup. In GB it was a simple edit in the BlurHome2.apk's AndroidManifest.xml. I think it's the same in ICS, but in the homescreen.apk.
Look for this line and change "nosensor" to "sensor":
Code:
android:screenOrientation="nosensor"
The problem is signatures. You could probably edit your own and push it back to your phone without signing w/ no issues.. maybe. But, really a bunch of system apks need to be re-signed with the same key if you change one AndroidManifest.. so it would have to be included in a rom, or a big zip package to replace all of the re-signed apks..
Sent from my phone's mind
Can't the signing issues be resolved by using Eclipse?
Sent from my LT28at
I'm currently looking through all the info on how to do this (but I'm not in any hurry)...I've installed Eclipse on my Ubuntu system, looking through the other threads and tools. I have dragged my feet on doing this now for the past year because I know how I am with all this and it has the potential to take more time away from my necessary activities.
Ok, I starting learning how to do all this. I decompiled the apk, made the change, recompiled, but didn't want to take the time to make it work.
So, while reading an article on the Nexus 7, I came across two apps that allow the homescreen to rotate without mods:
Ultimate Rotation Control ($2.99): I tried it but thought I would try the free one first
Rotation Locker (Free): Using this one now. Doesn't restart with the phone. Make sure you are using the background method (long press "Auto").
Both of the above applications let the Moto homescreen rotate as well as any other apps that insist on being in portrait mode, but I'm trying the free on first to see if any issues show up.
This is for DeOdexed XXMC3 GT-P6200 AND DeOdexed GT-P6210 XXMD3 Only!!
For this Mod to work, you will need:
1.) Use a 3rd Party Launcher, (Nova,Apex,Trebuchet,etc.)
2.) You will need to make this your default launcher.
3.) Go to Settings and Force Stop TouchWiz Home Launcher I also cleared data/cache)
After this you can reboot and install this mod.
From my own experience and research on the Tab 2 forums, this may be the only way this works.

Warning: Unconfirmed with stock Touchwiz Launcher, Please download both .zips as a precaution.
Nao with 4 Way Reboot! Sure Scripts and Quick Boot maybe be easier/faster but it feels so much better integrated. Also Quick Boot doesn't go to download mode I dont think.
For Hot Boot to work you need to symlink PKILL with BusyBox Installer (recommend: JRummy) as mentioned : here
Known issues:
Alarm clock is distorted pretty bad when alarm goes off, but you can still easily slide to disable it..
To Fix: Install Xposed Installer with PerAppSettings .apk , set alarm clock DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Lockscreen missed call/unread text slider is distorted in portrait only.
Fix: Using Xposed per app settings, set Android OS DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Flash .zip in CWM or TWRP recovery. This will wipe davik-cache.

Yes, it did.
Well after factory reset, these .zips seem to do nothing.. even with nova launcher. Strange indeed.
will do some more testing..
so far.. I think I'm going to have to rule this out , not working with touchwiz launcher.
as added to original post, this mod seems to only work on custom launchers which are set as default.
Also got some new wallpaper with this mod, see below.
Thank you for your work! It work great, just wondering is your mod adjust any dpi?
No dpi changes, use xposed if you are interested.
Is it working great with custom launcher?, if so can we get the name of the one you are using, also have you attempted to use touchwiz launcher?
Iwouldnt even recommend trying to go back, you may get stuck..
will add this and recommend force stopping twhome launcher to OP later, busy now.
thanks guys.

Multiwindow Mod
attn: chrisrotolo
Although I'm sure this is not the proper place to ask (and apologize if it annoys the op) but since you seem to be the only active developer for our device who is still attempting to modify stock i just wanted to know if u have spent any amount of time looking into porting the multiwindow mod to the P6200? Im not sure how familiar u are with the two distinct versions so far which can best be described as the 4.11 or phone/flashbar version and the 4.1.2 or tablet/floating windows version. At this point to get either working would be wonderful & a goal i'd be willing to brick my tab about(well maybe not literally but sum sacrifices must be made in the name of science...lol). Of course i've attempted the simpler solutions such as adding the permissions file & multiwindows jar which is enough to get the checkbox to appear in settings as well as the view selector controls to show up where the miniapps bar is located but obviously none of my attempts have been 100% successful. So far i have baksmali'd the various jars and have found almost all of the functionality to be intact when compared to the NOTE 10.1 which has the newest /preferred version of the multiwindow option but I must admit that i'm a complete newb when it comes to code so i thought i would seek sum assistance...that's if u even have the desire to dedicate sum time to tackle the task. If not, I only ask that u point me in the direction of someone with the time/knowledge/willingness to get it done because at this point i have become determined to do so. I have however done the least i can do which is read essentially EVERY post of EVERY thread on EVERY variation of the mod in an attempt to get an understanding of what i may be missing so below i will link to a couple of those of particular interests where they've had both success & failure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056515
^this is for the original note & although it includes uneccessary(but cool) extras this mod has not only been a success but would be the ideal version to get working imho
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
^this a how to of of the older version of the mod for the galaxy s2(which as u know is the closest phone to our own device). Most of it applies to the newer version as well except the flashbar.apk itself which is not used anymore(i think...lol)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988329
^this is the best breakdown i've found of the 2 different implementations & is actually written by the same guy that started the first thread i posted although again this is for the note/note 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049516
^ even though after almost 100 pages of posts this one is still a failed attempt i felt it was important to note because these guys have dug through the code EXTENSIVELY so if it is in fact a deeper issue i'm sure they would be more familiar with what WONT work and plus the fact that it's a sgs2 variant i fear we may be in a similar situation.
p.s. i aplogogize about the huge post ahead of time & thx in advance for any insight u may offer
Thanks.
I breifly glanced at the idea before.
I'm not real interested in the use/function actually.
I am interested in learning the prot/development part however. I also do not have much free time because of my job and married life.
When I do get a chunk of time, I will look into this for you and whoever may be interested.
I did see the SungSonic ROM at Tab 2 has an 'alfa5' version of multiwindow mod.
In the meantime, I encourage you to continue trying and feel free to email me if you need any assistance.
Thanks, Cheers.
Error Status 6
Every time I attempt flashing the zip I get an error status 6 and aborts the install. I did set Apex launcher as my default launcher and cleared data for touchwiz. I also tried flashing the stock phablet zip and that worked then I cleared data factory reset and flashed the zip with the same status 6 error and went into a boot loop, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
try download again, maybe old file update script was missing a " or ) or blank line at end.
thanks.
also see if you can check log in recovery let me know if it says anything.

Chris,
I installed it on my 6210. It works fairly nicely.
However, there is a problem with the updater-script.
Line 6:
umount("/data");
Needs to be
unmount("/data");
Thanks for mods. This and the ripple lock screen are really nice upgrades.

Thanks, both 6200 & 6210 script were misspelled, both fixed now. Sorry about that. Stock Phablet .zips look OK.
On my P6210, I noticed one bug in this mod: The notification panel grows over the top edge of the display in landscape mode when I have multiple notifications. I had the same problem using the Xposed TabletUI Trigger (which I tried before) mentioned in the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 forums.
Yes noticed that as well, im on PA ROM now so I cant try anything.
i would setting touchwiz home launcher and systemui to 160dpi and 600x1024.
The only thing i noticed going off screen is mostly the clock which isnt a huge deal.
I just started using my first Android phone 2 days ago, so this is probably a really dumb question, but I've figured almost everything else out and this one not so intuitive.
When I'm in the home screen or the alphabetical list of all apps, if I turn the phone horizontal it won't switch to landscape. It only rotates if I open the keyboard. The settings menu and most apps auto-rotate fine, so I know the phone can sense it right., it's just the basic Android screens that won't landscape unless the keyboard is open.
I'm using CM11 from 21-OCT-2014 and the only extras I've installed are gapps, k9 mail, firefox, google translate and google wallet. The "Auto-rotate screen" box is checked, as are the "0 degrees" and "90 degrees" rotation mode boxes.

Probably depends on the launcher (home screens and app drawer is handled by launcher). Some have a setting to enable it, some don't...
I dunno if this is normal behavior, something I can change in a setting, or a bug in something, and if so what?
Not quite sure what a launcher is, but I only installed the stuff I mentioned before, so I assume my launcher is whatever comes with CM11 or Gapps.

Done, and it worked! Thanks much. Any explanation as to why editing a system file was necessary to do something that seems to me should be automatic? Will I have to do this again after updates or anything?
(Of course nothing is simple the first time; took me over an hour to do this; figured easiest way would be from terminal, but had to find the file without a whereis command, then didn't know how to hit "ESC" when trying to edit with VI since there's no ESC key on our keyboard, finally found it in a menu, then wasn't able to save cuz readonly... tried again after su but same result, considered changing permissions but since I really didn't know what I was doing, did a web search, found a tutorial for editing it with ES file manager, which I installed, but the 2-year old tutorial had different menu structure for putting ES into "root explorer" mode, but finally got it modifiedt, saved, rebooted).
And I still dunno what launcher I'm using. After posting I did some web searches earlier, seems CM has its own launcher (forgot name, something that sounded french), and GApps has a launcher, but I read the CM version of GApps (that I used) doesn't change the launcher, but I also read the launcher from GApps is the one that will pop up google now if you swipe on the side of the screen, and that keeps happening to me (by accident as I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing) so it seems I have the GApps launcher. I dunno.
My problem is solved as mentioned in previous post, just rambling as I'm trying to understand all this.

Use a different launcher? Nova, GoLauncher, Apex, Aviate, etc... most should have options for this.
Is there no way to fix it permanently in the default launcher?

There's no bug. This is by design.
If you don't like it, you can change the launcher or keep doing the build.prop hack.
Curious... why do you think it would have been purposely designed this way? I just assumed it was one of those things that worked right for some phones but not others or something.... There's already settings to turn off rotation (and to select which specific orientation to allow rotation), so if someone wanted it off for some reason they should be able to turn it off that way...
Either way, if it's not a bug report, then it's a feature request, either way I'd like to at least *try* to get it changed before I give up and try an alternative. I'd imagine the developer or whatever wouldn't want people switching to alternative launchers if there's something he could easily fix fix anyway. And I imagine since it's so easy to fix by editing that file, it can't be that hard to fix in the program or whatever, and since supported in other launchers it's not some system limitation or something...
Anyway just my thoughts. I'm still very thankful for being told the workaround, and I'll probably figure out how to write a shell script that adds that line for me so I can just run that after each update (instead of looking up this thread and manually editing a file on an annoying little device). But that only helps me, be better to get it fixed for everyone.

Android is all about choice, you've been given several workarounds which fix the problem.
Other than that, this is how the stock launcher in CM is designed. A lot of people don't want the home screen to rotate when the phone rotates, I'm one of them.
