recommended shortcuts - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

How can I customize what apps are suggested when I plug in my headphones? The Note 2 had buddy pages that were customizable but I can't figure put the S4 options. Also when I place the S4 in the Samsung doc it a pop up menu asks what app you want to run and gives you several options.how do I add the apps that I want

I don't think you can. It automatically figures it out for you

App Launcher

I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.

TouchWiz won't stay on by default!

Randomly when I hit the home buttn I am prompted with the option touchwiz or home. I can pick either on while checking the load default and it still asks again a few min later. What am I missing?

That's a first, never had that happen.
Have you recently installed any User interface programs like ADW launcher or launcher pro?
How about any programs in general.. please be a little more specific.
Welcome to the forums!
It only happens to me when I hold the home botton and bring up the task manager. When I hit the home botton again it prompt me to choose the launcher.

Try getting home switcher from the market and tell it to set touchwiz home as you default. See if that works.
I Will try and load my appbrain list but no to launchers. Just goole stuff and a couple widgets.

Sgs tools and you go to the bottom menu and choose which launcher you want and bam! Launcher is set to default. I'm using 2.2 quantum and confirm it works.

Does my epic have to be rooted? I ran the app and set it yet still get the problem. It randomly asks when I hit home. Each time I set default then select touchwiz.

Will factory reset help with this problem? What other way can I reset clean?

Download sgs tools from market. Install. Go to bottom menu upgrade stock apps, then choose laucner you want and follow instructions from there, easy fix.

Edit: this only works on rooted phones, I'm sorry if I miss read the problem.
Bottom option is:
.prop editor

I've looked over SGS Tools, over and over again. I do not understand where the option to make this fix is.
Could you give more specific instructions? Thanks!

Same here only .prop editor do we have to be rooted? To use this correctly?

I think I got a fix. I went to manage apps and cleared defaults on touchwiz but also cleared tw data. It sucked cause my icons and everything else I took the time to setup cleared but after rebuilding it seems to be working. Been about an hour now and the menu hasn't popped up.

Sorry guys I must have been way too blazed I swear I read that you guys had the froyo beta and had this problem, as I did have this issue. But it seems some of you are dealing with this on stock, without root and this will only work if you have root.

I believe that this issue is related to the installation of a certain application. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled several applications after going on a few downloading sprees (yeah, I get bored and have money burning a hole in my PayPal account) in hopes of fixing the issue, to no avail.
Otherwise, could it possibly be related to a glitch caused by setting a certain number of icons or widgets on the homescreen, causing the launcher's data to interfere with its default settings?
Either way, I took ErlyD's advice, cleared the data, and will rebuild my homescreens in hopes it won't happen again. Or else I will figure out what causes it.

I would love to follow his advice, but TouchWiz isn't listed in my manage applications list...what the heck!
Actually, none of the stuff that came installed is listed....nascar, amazon, etc.
Where do I find these?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Okay...found it via running programs.
Cleared data.
Didn't solve my problem.
Crap.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
It failed. Sorry for the trouble it lasted longer than before though. I went a few hrs before it popped up. I am going to have to start uninstalling apps to see what happens.

Q is there a quick wsy to put apps in order ?

Just got my s2 its awesome only annoyance is when I download apps it doesn't put them in alphabetical order ... Is there a quick way to do it without moving each one individually ?
Thanks

Touchwiz AppSorter from the Market does this for you. But you have to be rooted
Thank you for the hint ... will asap look in the market for it
You can also "Clear data" of TwLauncher in manage applications in settings
but it will also reset your home screens to default
Superb thats done trick kudos to you

Even quicker:
When in application view. Press the menu key and select list view.
Problem sorted with no messing?

Clipboard question

Hi, I have a question about the clipboard, not sure if this can be controlled in any way. I find that in some apps it works and a lot of the time it does not.
When i do see the list i see things from ages ago in the list and wondered why it doesnt come up all the time when i press in a text field?
Are there any apps that can also make this work if android wont do it in all apps?
thanks
James
