Is there a way to put the apps in individual folders INSIDE of the app menu? Can I change the way it scrolls? I've seen some galaxy s phones scroll top to bottom, not on individual pages. Within touchwiz too. Just trying to see whats out there.
GO Launcher has folders in the app menu.

to the question about changing the way the app drawer scrolls... yes you can , just open up the app drawer and press the menu button. there you should see two options edit and list view ,just clock list view and itll change your items listed vertically scrolling up and down as opposed to the left and right horizontally defaulted to...if you wanna go back just do same thing but instead of list view itll say grid view just click that and youre golden. hope that helps
I don't think TouchWiz' List View is what you actually want. To get stock Android-style app drawer scrolling, you need to download another launcher entirely. ADW Launcher and LauncherPro are by far the best ones available.
With ADW you can choose between the TouchWiz/iPhone-style scrolling and Android-style; LauncherPro only does Android-style. Other than that they each are fantastic in their own right, with tons of customization options. And if you choose to pay for a premium version of either one, LauncherPro gives you some awesome widgets while ADW EX gives some awesome new 3D homescreen scrolling and customization options.
You have to check out the new adw ex which is optimized for tablets. It is simply awesome especially the main dock

Yes it can.
Cool ...i run into my market !
Liking it...mostly.
Adds a new dimension to wallpaper wonkiness, unfortunately.
My wallpaper (via wizardrii) is not properly centered in landscape mode. Have not fiddled with it yet.
Anyone have any tips?
I will definitely be purchasing this for my girlfriend's 10.1.. thanks for the tip, it looks great!
Am loving it just make sure if your rubbish bin bar is located at the bottom you enable auto scaling of desktop when bin bar is used, otherwise you won't be able to add icons to the docking bar !

Mine works well for an hour or so, then takes an age for an app to return to the launcher. Only way to fix is to reboot the tab. Anyone else seen this?
Is there a light or trial version that I can try for free? I can't find one in the market.

Buy it from android market and you will have 15 mts to refund. I know not much you can do in 15 mts, but something better than nothing.

Wallpapers aren't rendered properly, and my dock bar just disappeared on mine. Still has a ways to go on tablets.
Dock bar going away is a common "problem" with ADW. Turn off hidden dockbar in the settings, turn off gestures.
I went ahead and set mine up without a dockbar, and with just the ADW settings menu item in the top right. Removed the trash bin as well (long-press then Remove from the desktop works just fine).
"Endless" page scrolling, page-turn animation of Tilt, 350 turn speed, 15 desktop bounce, and a theme that has a transparent top menu bar. Desktop has 9x7 columns/rows, icons scaled to 95%, density hack off. App drawer is 6x6, in 4D vertical scroll.
Basically, it looks pretty much like Honeycomb at a glance, but without the one-inch "tap space" wasted on the left and right screen edges. It's much faster and smoother. About the only performance issue I've had is that it doesn't handle "card" widgets like YouTube, Market or News360 as smoothly as stock, when you go to "fling" a card away.
Maybe I'm just getting old and simple, but I don't really see the point of having the excessive customization of ADW on a Honeycomb tab. I have my homescreen setup with two widgets and about 12 regular icons, then the next screen over has some lesser used stuff. If I need any other apps I just open the app drawer and easily locate them. I mean, it's neat to make things whiz-bang and all, but from a usability perspective there's already so much overkill built in to Honeycomb that ADW doesn't seem worth the time.
On my phone, ADW is great, however. Now get off my lawn.

You don't have to use the power of ADW, it's just there waiting to be harnessed if you want it.
In fact, you can use ADW to simplify it, for example you can delete unused home screens, unlike stock Honeycomb. Doing things like adding widgets or changing wallpapers is also cleaner and quicker than the flashy Honeycomb interface. It's simpler.

So... You are saying that you need adw
I like simple too, and adw help me doing that.
I mean, I do not need the 3d cubic scrolling effects, neither than the futuristic widget selection screen, or the quick search bar at the top.
I didn't choose to display the dock too in adw.
And it is so fast, close to the ipad smoothness.

It is not a problem but a feature hehe. If you slide one the dock, it disappear. I you slide again it appears. I think you can disable somewhere that movement.
ADW still sucks on the Tab..not only are the card/live widgets like Youtube slow to flick like someone said, but the worst thing is that for certain widget, like the Digital Clock stock Tab one...it looks fine when using the Tab landscape at first, then every single time I rotate to portrait view, the widget re-draws for new orientation and both left and right sides of the widget are not cut off. This does not adjust/fix itself instantly like stock launcher does and the only way to really fix it is to re-add widget or sometimes turn screen off and on.
I like the smoothness of the launcher/drawer but I aint dealing with this **** where a widget gets screwed up every single time....too annoying to deal with. Why is this such a hard thing to get right?? Is there a fix for this or no? I am not resizing the widget to begin with btw...just adding it as normal size. The homescreen size I use is 8 columns and 7 rows btw, just like stock.
Oh and why in the app drawer, the the top still unmatching/not dimmed like the rest of the drawer below it? Looks so stupid. They should dim it too and still keep the buttons in the top right corner, ughh.
EDIT: Here, compare landscape to portrait when flipped. Not only does that Digital Clock widget get cut off, but also look at the Wireless Widget..it looks ridiculous now.
EDIT2: I unchecked the ADW option for resizing widgets to fit blah blah but the same thing still happens where the Clock widget, for example, gets cut off after going vertical.. although the Wifi Widget looks a little less ridiculous now when turning. Anyone know about the widget issue though??

The 15 minute refund policy really sucks, especially for apps like ADW EX where you really need some time to get a feel for how you like it and check out all the customizations. To get around it you can always buy it, pull the apk from /data/apps (requires root), refund it, and re-install the program using the pulled apk file. This way you can take your time to play around with the app before deciding if you want to keep it. If you do go ahead and re-buy it from market. If you decide not to buy it do the honest thing and uninstall the program.

Alright. First is A.D.W.Launcher ex. Mainly because of the customization. Then Honeybar and Adw gives you the option to hide the top bar. Add button savior. I like on my bottom right thumb but you can place it anywhere you want. I end up with 100% of my screen accesable by a tiny little icon that you can adjust. I spend more time changing and tweaking my tab more than anything besides checking this site for more ways to customize. I have had other tabs but this just has it all. Fast and clean. Oh yeah the 4d scrolling app drawer really shows off android nicely. Add the multiple screen wallpaper and its just awesome.
Use the multiple screen wallpaper app and cube transitions and be amazed at how cool just changing screens is.
Absolute system root tools is another app that does everything from changing fonts to boot animations and other cool things so try it out.
Whats everyones favorite home screen for the rooted nook? I like ADW but when i shift around icons it studders quite a bit. I tried zeam but i cannot get the text in the launcher to display black to help it stand out.
Just trying to see some other suggestions that people have liked. Feel free to supply screen shots, please!
I really don't see the launcher that often since I launch my 4 most-used apps straight from the QuickMenu:
I've kept it simple with ADW icons and text enlarged when I need it:
Launcher 7
Big icons of home screen are just perfect.
Hi...
I am test driving the Neutrino ROM on my Atrix 4G. So far I find it to be a very nice ROM but I have run into a small dilema...
Because of the fact that this ROM seems to be pretty stripped down on some features (one of the main reasons I choose to test it) it seems like the home/drawers screen sizes can not be re-sized. t seems to have a standard 4x4 grid size and the re-sizing seems to have been stripped out. I use MInimalistic Text to set up my home screen and the 4x4 grid limits what and how I can set my widgets up.
Is there any way to add this feature back into the ROM? It seems to be a Cyanogenmod display feature.
Thanks...

You have to change the launcher for that. No other way to do it. Holo launcher is very good for pre-ics.

Thanks el_venga... I did switch launchers but the same issue. It is a new launcher to me that does state that it can re-size the grid (Nemus Launcher) and such but I have not been able to find the option anywhere. I may switch to Holo if I can not find the proper solution shortly.
Ok... found it. The option under the Nemus Launcher was tucked away under an option called "HomeSettings". In my all mighty "noobiness", I was looking for "Display Settings" or something like that as I have become used to seeing.
