[Q] Touchwiz settings - Epic 4G General

Ok, I give up. I have Googled for 3 days and read that **** manual cover to cover.
How in the world do you edit the Touchwiz settings? I remember the first day I went to the settings and changed the Show Windows from 5 to 7.
I for the LIFE of me cannot remember how in the WORLD I did that...
So, please, please do not flame me...first Samsung phone and clueless...
Thanks

For some reason, I thought it was under the MENU, then on some i have seen EDIT , but its not there...grrr....

Hi I don't think you can change touchwiz setting short of rooting your phone and editing a few text files. The Epic comes with 7 homescreens and can't be changed from it unless a new launcher is installed. You can however disable the touchwiz launcher if you want the vanilla android look and you can also install an aditional launcher such as launcher pro, which is what I did. Installing a new launcher means you cannot use the touchwiz widgets such as the friend update widget or the taskmanager widget or any of the touchwiz clocks. However the comm manager in the notifications bar is still there as well as the task manager button on long home press.

See read here:

-To edit order of homescreens or # of homescreens, go home, press menu and then edit

So that option is not available on our phones? Or is this a "modded" Touchwiz...

We have a gimp version of touchwiz until Froyo comes. Many of us use Launcher Pro or ADW because Touchwiz mostly sucks and the widgets do the same.

Froyo is making nice progress it seems, but I am not sure if you can put applications in there on your own. My guess, those icons are hardcoded in there.
As seen in this video @ 6:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7XJI4NN7k
It would be awful if they were hard coded. I'm ok with the phone button but maybe i wanna put something else in stead of the browser.
you should perhaps do a search before posting. this exact video is about 8 threads down, here
Interesting, a drop down icon below the google icon in the search widget... does that mean you can change your search engine?
Seems like they let you change orientation how you want in froyo Like cyangoen, or whoever did that mod did
Nice find. Anything can be changed
thats cool, I can roll with that.
maybe it's just me, but i don't find that launcher very attractive; i like the helixlauncher's ability to add 4 shortcuts, which looks much better than this

I'm guessing it's so you can choose options like Image search, local search, books etc.
That makes more sense to me, but who knows.
I love this since helixlauncher2 FC alot!
More home pages please
I liked the previous one better...
The update isn't launched yet and it can be anything....
Fingers crossed...
wish they would add the ability to turn the notification bar from white to black. I also like helixlauncher2's ability to remove the notification bar entirely from the homescreen.

No it doesn't. I haven't had a single crash in over a month. Maybe you should unbreak your phone.

Why not just download apex launcher? The tabs don't have those points on them.
If I'm not mistaken, those tabs are there because you have something set where it has your system apps then downloaded apps and favourite apps separately. Try going to Nova settings and checking if there's an option like that somewhere and disabling it, that should hopefully get rid of the tabs. The alternative is to get a different launcher because Apex isn't really much different to Nova and as the person above said it doesn't have those.
There is no option to remove those tabs, Only difference in the pro version is there blue instead of grey.
Stick with Apex more customizable then Nova

[APP/Launcher] Apex Launcher Widgets

Good afternoon XDA,
My issue is the following. I love Apex and I love working with it but I have several widgets (including my mails and N7player etc..) and every now and again they resize to way outside the current screen.
Is this a known issue and anyone have any idea how to permanently fix it?
PS: I have found a way to temporarily fix it which is holding tap on the widget so that "remove" / "resize" / "app info" & "share" become visible. When I release the widget takes his pre-defined size again and it's all fine (temporarily that is...)

I admit I don't know the answer but may I suggest you to ask on its thread ?
sent from my Darkside of Nexus 4
Thanks for the reply. I searched all over the Nexus 4 forums and didn't find it so I posted this because it could be some Nexus 4 issue or whatnot.
Noticed that it was in the android where Apex has posted (durr )
I have posted this in their official topic too. See if I get any valuable responses,
It's a very weird workaround apparantly.
1) Change your home screen to 10x10
2) Then place the widgets on there (without resizing). Preferably put em in the top left corner else they won't be counted in the next action.
3) change home screen to 5x4 (or whatever prefered)
4) resize widgets, they now stick.... weird shizzle :/ (well I hope this works, used to be 5times+ per day, if it lasts a day it's "fixed" )
-----
If prefered this topic can be deleted or locked or marked fixed of course.

Finally! Get 5 (or even more) columns in the MiUI launcher (MIUI V9.x)

I have been searching all over the way for a way to change that in MiUI launcher, but never found a solution anymore. :crying:
It's a feature that we had in older MiUI versions but it somehow disappeared in V9.
if you're looking for the same thing, you're at the right place!
1- If you have the Themes app, skip to step 2. if you don't, just change your region ( temporarily ) to India.
2- open themes and search for 5x ( or 8x) and chose the first result and install it
Tadaa! now you have 5 ( or 8 ) columns on your home screen. if you don't like the theme (because i didn't):
3- just click on the right button down there and chose "customize theme" and change whatever you want (for me i changed the Icons) to the original or Limitless theme.
This way you will have the old theme but with more icons on home screen.
Sorry for being to detailed but just to make sure nobody does it wrong.
Enjoy your new launcher!
I'm on revolution rom and this feature is build in:

I know. Most custon ROMs have this option.
But i meant people who don't want to root or unlock their Bootloader
Could you please post the name of the theme? I don't get a bit if I put in 5x in the search bar.
Thanks

Issues with new Android Head Unit

Hi
I'm trying to customise my head unit that' I've just received. I want to use Nova and KLWP for the interface. The problems are as follows:
KLWP uses wallpaper as it's way of theming. Everytime I change it, after a while, it will reset to the original
There is a floating home button overlay that is not able to be removed, it doesn't have a touch assistant app but in the original launcher settings there is a setting to disable it, but even though I've turned it off, it still reappears. How can I disable?
I don't mind doing anything via adb etc but just need to know what pointers to look for.
Thanks

To help you, please post a picture of your system info. Depending on the unit, it can look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
or maybe like this:
