[UX] How to get automatically rearranging home icons? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

On iPhone, the home UX is pretty logical: when you delete or move an app, all the row of app moves to fill the empty space which is practical and clean.
On Android everytime you move or uninstall an app, it just becomes full of incoherent empty spot which means you have to manually rearrange each apps.
Is it possible or are there any plugins/mods so that app automatically rearrange themselves when moving or deleting an app not to leave an empty spot?
Thanks.

No one? An idea?

Probably not, Android doesn't use the home screen as an app tray by default.

You could try another launcher maybe. Something like one launcher may do it. Or another iPhone style launcher

ADW Launcher

Ok so I don't know if this has been mentioned before and if it has I apologize. I searched and didn't find anything. So I am running CM6 and as you guys know it comes with ADW. So if you press and hold the launcher icon and swipe up and hides the tab along with the phone and broswer to the left and right. Then I dragged some icons down and to my surprise they stayed. To get the launcher icon back all you do is swipe down in te area and it pops back up. Thought it was kinda cool. You can also add more apps then what the screen width allows you too and they are scrollable. Here is what my screen look like right now.

Yeah you can also enable swipe up to open an app. I use it for the phone. Combine it with beautiful widgets home and you can tap time for clock, date opens calendar and you can set whatever you want. Also don't forget to backup your ads settings so if you flash another Rom your set

[Q] Start menu "sorted"

Hey there,
Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).
I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.

vs.
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

No, not really,
I don't care about how many grids I have.
Just want to have it sorted (see images above)
use a third party app called "vito winterface" clean looking...search for it and try the trail version...m sure u will like it !
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

[Q] Complete Way To Save Launcher (ADW) Layout?

So I'm one those sillies with widgets everywhere, particularly using Desktop Visualizer. But I'm also one of those sillies that flashes ROMs with profuse frequency.
Using ADW, when I backup and restore, the regular shortcut icons always load fine, but the widgets do not. Is there anything special I can do? My screens take a good half hour to rebuild from scratch.
I've tried most things I can think of. Obviously I always have desktop visualizer installed before I restore, I've tried restoring the apps involved with titanium in just about every configuration, but I can't think of any more options.
In return, happles:

P.S. I'm terribly sorry if I missed this in search or if it's in the wrong place.
bummmmmp
im facing the same issue too. No way to do this ?

VMWare View still good in ICS

the only thing i dont like is in the most recent update of the android app they added a 50 pixel bar at the top that totally wastes space. also the backwspace on the keyboard doesnt work wehn you press backspace on the dock keyboard
maybe its just because i have thumb keyboard set to my default intstead fo the asus defualt one.

the clipboard transfoers though. i uploaded that in the ics browser then copied the link from imgur and pasted it directly into the view app.
Why are you using a task killer, haven't people mentioned it enough?
The icon just hurts my eyes looking at it, just awful. You know where the problem is if your tablet starts acting up.
you could chose for ES task manager a bit more professional and a less trouble with freeze of tablet or mobile or with acting weird

I don't think this is a default notification.
You can find all default notifications here http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e.../samsung_galaxy_s8_s8_plus_ug/status_bar.html
I think that the 'N' comes from a third-party app. Have you installed any apps lately?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think he's talking about the icon hovering over his home button.
You shouldn't ask the same question in multiple places on the same forum.
It looks like the circle and X you drag chat heads to to remove them off the screen when you're using Facebook Messenger.

Im using Nova launcher, i was talking about the "x" that pop up on my home button.
Ps: i'm using AT&T not sprint
