Hi All,
I've recently upgraded from an S6 to an S7 - have also rooted but can't seem to get the alphabet app drawer CSC setting to work. Normally I would have to set the "Enable View By Alphabet As Default" setting to "true" then reboot the phone, but am still on the current layout with the A-Z button at the top.
Do these settings no longer work for the S7 or is there an alternative way to get the app drawer to automatically sort from A-Z?
Thanks!
Use Nova Launcher

Is there not a way to do it with stock launcher? I don't want to change to another launcher, cheers!

The stock launcher blows, anyway. Just use a 3rd party.

Hi I just picked up a new CX-803 II and found that anytime I install a new launcher or video player act. I do not get the option to change the default app even if I try to force the change in apex launcher ect. The option won't pop up and it drops back to the home screen to further annoy the launcher resets the wallpaper to the one included in its themes anytime the stick is restarted. Can this be changed/fixed?.

For changing the launcher try "home switcher" app.

Unortunately I already have done, it seems that this stick has disabled the ability to switch "intent" apps, like video/music players, launchers ect. i'm not sure if there is a way to re-enable it. I picked this device because it has 2GB of onboard ram on it and and external antenna, but not being able to switch launchers or even have it use my own wallpapers is a real drag. almost wondering that if there's no way to fix it if swapping out the launchers apk with a different one would work or if it would just brick it.
it's funny that this thing comes rooted out of the box but doesn't allow changing of default apps.
Well with some experimenting I was able to change the launcher by placing a copy of trebuchet in system/apps rebooting using launcher changer to set trebuchet as default and then renaming the default launchers extension to .bak. This doesn't address the bigger problem of not being able to change the default intent apps though.
But it is nice to have my aquarium live wallpaper as the background on my TV now

hi guys,
i have nexus 5 with 6.0.1 android version, with this new version of android, the apps menu scrolling down or up, i want to change it by sliding right or left, thanks
it's impossible ?
Using the stock launcher, I'm not sure if it's possible or not. However, using a third party launcher like nova or go will allow you to change the app drawer behavior, among many other settings.
So I was trying to import my TouchWiz Home settings to Nova, and while it seems to work, a ton of my icons get replaced with the android head icon. Wondering if anyone with an S8/+ has had this issue or has had success with importing TouchWiz home data with icons intact? I want to start using Nova, but I don't really want to have to rebuild my folders if I can avoid it.
If you're speaking about Samsung proprietary widgets, very often these can be used only on Touchwiz.
No, I'm speaking of the icons themselves - numerous apps lose their icons and turn into the Android head logo, but some don't. That's what I'm referring to - doesn't matter if it's on the homescreen in or in a folder, but it happens either way for many of them.

Correct, this way can work on widgets, but on Nova launcher the apps icons should always show.
I suspect the OP mistakes the widgets for apps.
I tried nova from scratch since it's never wise to import settings from an older phone+os. Then I didn't feel like setting things up again and decided to try samsung touchwiz first. Uninstalled nova and lost the paralax scrolling. Have an iphone for work so I can appreciate this option from samsung. Reinstalled nova and it was back.
Long story short, I flashed an older firmware to my phone and have everything working again. Without nova launcher.
This happens if you have custom icons from Samsung Themes. Just long press on the Android icon to change them back to stock icons or something else if you have downloaded icon packs

Is there a way to make this not happen if I switch back to stock icons?
I haven't tried, but I imagine if you switch back to stock icons in the Touchwiz launcher and then do the import in Nova, all of your icons should show

I have tried several with no luck and for whatever reason any 3rd party launcher seems to not consistently work, ie default launcher gets "un-selected". So anyone using a shortcut maker that allows you to select an image?
I've had no problems with Nova Launcher. I use the Samsung swipe up navigation gestures and all seems great.

If you install goodlock (and the taskchanger sub app) from the Samsung app store then all of the gestures work reliably
Hi all,
I finally managed to make some mods for OneUI launcher.
1) changed the app drawer to 6x8 or 6x9...but this is not available as a option to switch, it is hard coded, either use 6x8 or 6x9
2) disabled the adaptive icon (white icon around some app icons).
Since each device has a different version of the OneUI launcher, it may be better for me to share a guide with those interested....
I will try to post a guide shortly here in this thread....
Posting few screenshots...
I have removed the options of changing the grid options from the launcher.
Notice the app drawer having 6x9
Noticed that it seems to break few stock icons when using themes but this is happening because of cloning of app using appcloner. This is applicable only for those on non-rooted phone wherein you need to use appcloner to install a 2nd instance of the OneUi launcher
Update 1: I was able to customize it to 2 grids 6x8 and 6x9 and it is available as option in home and grid settings and works just fine

If you are still working on this, would it be possible to mod my S8 launcher?

I can try for sure...but it may not be easy without device since every mod requires testing...
you could also use home up that is included with GoodLock

That's exactly what i want to use but it's not running on my launcher. It's updated. I guess i need a newer phone for that. Not happening.
Thanks for the quick reply.
