I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

Something I haven't seen discussed is whether it is possible to upgrade the SGT 10.1 to Honeycomb 3.2 without putting TouchWiz on the tablet. I haven't installed the firmware update that brought TouchWiz and would like to avoid it if possible. Anyone know if this is possible?
Dont believe so. It's either you opt in to Touchwiz and the Samsung upgrade path or you do it with custom ROMs if you want to stick with pure AOSP
No, you cannot do it. If you install from Samsung, you can't avoid TW. And currently there is no 3.2 custom rom without TW.

Is it possible to somehow switch the navigation bar at the bottom back to what it used to look like before touchwiz? Changing launchers doesn't change the navigation bar, so does touchwiz have to be removed all together? If so, how? Anyone
The only way that I can think of would be to flash back to 3.1 pre TW update... I can't remember where I found the odin files for this as its been a while since I did it....
Maybe someone has a link to the odin files needed..... But you'd be back at 3.1.....
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry for opening another thread of this issue but search is out of service now on XDA. My Nexus 7 have bounce back issue. It's rooted and has custom recovery.
What is the easiest way to resolve this issue ? I love stock 4.1.2 Google rom very much but bounce back issue is killing me. I can flash new kernels and edit files if i have to.
Thanks
I'm on stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1 and I don't have a 'bounce back' issue. What does that mean? Have you tried 4.2.1? It is working perfectly for me.
I think Nova or Apex launchers both have fixes for that problem.
I'm on Nova and the latest version doesn't do that anymore.
I'm on nova running cm10.1 and it seems to have cleared it up for me. I did have it though. Sooooo annoying. With custom ROMs android would be dead IMO

Im on stock rooted 4.2.2 and the notification pull down is fixed now but still have home screen bounce back (even on nova launcher) anyone got any ideas? Its very annoying, this would likely be something to do with kernel not rom?
Did anyone ever figure out how to freeze or delete My Magazine without causing other issues? I'm on 4.4.2. Thanks
You can flash this if you are using a stocked based deodexed rom.
It has been a few months since I made it, I believe it is a 4x5 grid also.
Once you flash it, you can safely remove My Magazine. I have edited the smali to remove all calls to that app.
Custom launchers doesn't even start on my note 3 anymore after lollipop update. Anyone has such problem and possibly a working solution? Just after I start Nova launcher, i have a message "Nova Launcher is stopped". It's the same with Apex launcher as well. I'm using pro version on both launchers.

Uninstall them. Clean your phone and maybe cache too. Try again. With no restore of settings.

I've cleared cache and data of the apps and uninstalled them. Then i reinstalled them from the Play Store. It's still the same. I started thinking if nobody else is having the same problem after lollipop update maybe it's something about my rom installation.
Problems like that after an update usually require a factory reset to fix.
I've done a factory reset and flashed the lollipop rom through Odin again and it's still the same. I can't use custom launchers after lollipop update
If this is happening on Stock Lollipop ROM then you probably are on your own, cause I haven't seen a single person mentioning a problem like this. Nova Prime works flawlessly on my phone, as it should, which is on LP obviously.
Yeah I am on stock lollipop rom. I started thinking maybe the problem occurs because of memory leak issues of lollipop. Since there's no sign of Samsung to upgrade note 3 to Android 5.1 I will consider flashing a custom rom which is built on 5.1 if I can find any on xda.
I just upgraded to 5.0.1 on my S4 i337 and have Root with Xposed framework (excellent guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/guide-att-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-t3383078).
When I had 4.4.4, I used Wanam Xposed to place 5 custom app icons at the bottom of the lock screen, but with 5.0.1 it appears there can only be two app icons on the new lollipop lockscreen: Camera and Phone.
I'm ok with the camera icon, but I would like the phone icon to launch a different app - I would even be ok if the icon stayed looking like a phone icon, as long as it will launch a different app.
I tried the new Wanam Xposed for lollipop, and the feature to add custom icons doesn't seem to work with the stock AT&T i337 5.0.1 ROM.
I tried the Xposed module "Custom Stock Lollipop Lockscreen" and still NG - it seems its only designed for ASOP stock roms and wont work with Samsung Touchwiz.
So, has anyone had any luck to reassign the phone or camera app to launch a different app?
Is there some file I can modify to change what app gets launched with the phone lockscreen icon?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can't, unless you want to program your own ROM. With stock, you can either have phone and camera icons or just phone or just camera or neither.

Darn, I was hoping that since the phone is rooted, I could edit a file somewhere that would allow me to chance what app is launched when the phone icon is swiped on.
You probably could if you knew Android programming language. What you would need to edit is probably part of the ROM.
