Anyone else try the new GameBox launcher? It was available for me in Galaxy Apps. Basically Game Launcher on steroids as it's an actual full-blown launcher that acts as a front end for all your games and incorporates all the Samsung game tools. Looks pretty, but I can't see using it as a full time launcher. I do have it set as a swipe action in Nova Launcher so I can access it by swiping the app drawer button.

Interesting. I had never heard of it before but it looks pretty neat. Going to give it a try.

It's not an app, it's an actual launcher. I use it like an app though by setting it via a shortcut through Nova Launcher.

Go to "Settings", "Applications", "Default Applications", "Home Screen", then select "GameBox" and hit the home key.
I have the S7 (non edge model) and was able to find and download this the other day on the Galaxy apps site but today I cant find it. is anyone else having this problem or was this originally intended only for the edge users?
*edit* never mind I found it on the google play store. it's now listed as an app that is not available in my country!
Thanks i use apex and made a icon of the app like you and it works perfect!!
Sorry for my english

Does anyone have the carhome app. I found one but when i installed it doesnt show up in my app list

Its not supposed to show up on your apps list. This is how I do it in launcherpro.
Create a shortcut to 'activities'. Then select carhome.carhome.carhome
Its there but only on the activities list and you have to make a shortcut

The market is showing that Googles Car Home is not compatible with the Infuse. Maybe that's why it's not showing up.
i got the app from here by googling "carhome apk" and selecting the droid life link (i can't post links yet). then you need launcher pro to use the app. follow slider's post above to use.
Slider,
I was using "Launcher" and now that I downloaded Launcher Pro it has changed all of my icons when I hit the home button. Is there anyway to copy the settings from "launcher" to "launcher pro"?
Thanks again

No, unfortunately not... I think its 2 completely different developers.... sorry....
Um... you can also get the samsung car dock and don't install the samsung car home, instead just use the google car home... Plug it in and bam, google car home comes up... just saying =)
Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...
Downloaded! Great share!! :thumbup:

I just finished updating this for Kit Kat, so I figured I'd post it
It's your typical "enable multi-window for any app" app with a few extra bells and whistles for the donate version. I don't really like mods that enable every single app because it gets messy and lags the tray out pretty bad, so I made this to let you pick and choose which ones to enable. This is still a WIP, so feel free to give suggestions / bug reports.
Create shortcuts to launch 2 apps in windowed mode at the same time
Create shortcuts to launch any app in windowed mode...the point of this being that it allows you to use 3rd party side bar launchers such as GloveBox, SwipePad, etc. in place of the stock flashbar
Launch 2 instances of the same app...some apps don't work. most browsers don't (4.4 samsung browser does by default)
Backup/Restore your enabled apps list
Auto enable newly installed apps
Inverted (Black) flashbar theme
Remove icon labels from the flashbar

I love your app in 4.3. Now in 4.4 does not work widgets, apps open normally, not in windows. Can you add feature to open apps in floating windows from flashbar?
Thanks very much

Update
You can use any wallpaper you want but it shows as black, some skewed icons in app drawer bottom row. No other issues on Moto Z.
Good news: The folder bug does not exists for the Z!
I cannot find a more satisfying launcher in spite of its "no folder" bug.
The TSF was too much of a Hog.
I have moved on to TSF Shell. It has all the features of Xperia & more. Worth the price too.
If you create a folder it will not last. While the workaround fixes the loss of icons. Lossed folders are also a consequence of the initial bug.
In fact may be the cause of the bug.
Therefore folder creation is not allowed on any homescreen! !
Those on launcher pro plus OR nova launcher can put the xperia app drawer in place of the stock app drawer. Xperia drawer button in center, Nova button on right.

Xperia drawer
On the msm8960's, which includes the x, the launcher is marred by the Bootup condition where (sometimes) homepage icons/shortcuts are missing. A launcher/settings > restart launcher is a fix.
Dev is no longer supporting this launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403

Can you sort apps by install time?
If you use launcher pro plus or Nova prime, you get tremendous shortcut creation features, to the level that you may add the xperia app drawer to the LPP bar instead of the stock drawer.

Anyone move on to a better launcher?
I cannot find a better.
Well I use smart launcher pro 3 for my default launcher it keeps everything organized and neat.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)

which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.
