Hey all, I have a few Touchwiz questions that I'm hoping someone can help me answer:
I'm using apex launcher, and I'm trying to match my apex wallpaper to the lockscreen wallpaper. But when I go to the lockscreen wallpaper in settings, it only allows me to choose a few OEM wallpapers. How can I get the apex wallpaper onto the lock screen?
This is a minor annoyance, but is there a way I can theme the top of my phone where it tells me the time/cell signal to look like stock ICS? The touchwiz icons are really big and don't look that great, while taking up a lot of space.
In the very least, is there a way for me to leave nfc, but not have the icon show up?
Thanks! I'm trying to give tochwiz a chance, but I'm really missing stock!

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.
First of all i want to say thank you to all the people here who develop all the things to make us customize our phone in any way possible!!
Well.. My question. sorry if it is a stupid question.
After trying different themes and launchers i just want the original stock os/theme but to be able to change the icons, menu's, dock (and so on) to my wishes. Al of that i can do except for the icons (app icons) and the homescreen dock. (without using a launcher app)
So in my search I found xposed hoping to find an answer to the annoying homescreen dock on the samsung.. But i'm stuck with the original homescreen dock. I don't want the dock.. It's to big.. Don't like the (big) icons.
In my original samsung menu i can't seem to find a way to change the grid size, app size or to remove the dock whole.. Am i missing something?
Anyone have a solution for me?
Help would be truly appreciated!!
thanks and for all a very nice weekend!

Hi is there a way to use nova laucher icons for the lockscreen shortcuts?it always uses stock icons instead and it really bugs me lol
You can use unicon to set icon pack as default ... But it doesn't allow you the ability to set individual apps
Are you wanting to do this with AOSP or the stock ROM? With AOSP you could extract icons from whatever pack you wish to use. Make a new folder in SDcard/Pictures. And paste them there. After a reboot or two they'll show up. Then select them from the Gallery when choosing your custom lock screen icons. You can get really fancy and change the actual lock icon to match your other icons too. That requires a little more work though.
Not to be that guy but it is best practice to read thread stickies before posting.
If you can give us more info on your current setup, it would be helpful.
Thanks unicon did it ...thanks danial.aw and i was stock kk using nova just to be more precise

Unicon is amazing. If you're in the beta there's new features that are super sweet. Custom Icon assignment is flat out awesome.
Hi, got a question. And no, i didn`t do an extensive search, because lock and icons shows me a billion loockscreen threads.
I got my father an S4(9505) currently running Samsungs Lolipop. He, being not "tech savy" to put it polite, sometimes moves icons or widgets accidently on the homescreen and then wonders where they went.
I already cleared out none useful icons, only the most needed remain. However, is there any way to lock the icons in place on the stock Samsung TouchWiz homescreen?
Thanks in advance

Launchers like Nova and Apex have a "Lock homescreen" or "lock desktop" feature that prevents any modifications to the homescreen. I think this is what you're looking for, but I don't know if the touchwiz launcher has such an option. You will have to dig through its settings.
If not, get Nova, or Apex, or even Holo launcher. They are basically the same and all 3 have that feature.
I got this device for my parents. So I'm not going through trouble of rooting and flashing custom roms.
So I thought to debloat all the miui stuff.
By far I've pretty much been successful, disabling apps through adb.
What I can't get around is the fact that there is a custom mechanism through which lock screen is being shown. This app called Theme manager (com.android.thememanager) is enabling something called wallpaper crousel.
Now I've disabled both, but doing so sets a default static wallpaper. I want it to be same as home screen (rotating Goohle wallpapers). But there seems no way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated, just want to get to stock lock screen or at least set same home screen / lock screen wallpapers.
I have a rick that worked. go themes than go to live wallpapers set any one live wallpaper from the themes app on both homescreen and lockscreen now go to google wallpaper app and set a wallpaper on homescreen and lockscreen this will work on recent miui 10 roms.
