There still isnt a Q&A section... well at least according to the xda app so here are a few questions maybe you old samsung touchwiz owners can answer:
Is it possible to change the apps in the bottom dock?
Can I calibrate the colors of the screen?
What is the best stock gingerbread keyboard?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Open the app drawer, hit menu>edit, drag the apps you want to the dock, then save.
2nd question idk
3rd question, I used this one personally on my Epic 4G

Make sure that you have the customizable grid selected in order to change the bottom icons.

*Mods if I'm posting in the wrong section my bad just move it*
I've been searching for twgtg launcher that works for the epic 4g . It comes pre installed in the Androea Galaxy theme (my bad if I spelled it wrong) which I think looks great but I. Like to flash different themes and want to keep using that launcher . Can anyone link the post for that launcher in the epic 4g forum. TIA
Just pull the API out of that theme and put it in whatever rom you want. Probably called twlauncher30.apk or something similar.

Ok but the thing is that the launchers dock background is also themed to go with the rest of the theme and I want to have a clear background on the dock
Anyone else know where I might find the launcher
Sorry if this is already out there but I can't seem to find it or find out how to do this.
But is there a way to get gestures or even a gesture search/app shortcut on the actual desktop of android without clicking on any widget or shortcut. Or even a multitouch gesture app that when three fingers are on the screen it opens a program.
or am I just comply a wall here?
Any thoughts or ideas on this ?
I think it would be pretty sweet and easy access to programs this way
This is not the area to be posting this, but I don't see why it couldn't be.
ADWLauncher (at least in CyanogenMod) already has a couple basic gestures you can use. Swiping up and down can be modified to perform nearly any action (including opening an app). I have swiping up open the app list.
This belongs in q&a. Also u prolly get more answers there.
But like the other Guy said. Adw does gestures but i don't think that stock aosp or sense launchers do this.

I used LCD resoloution and it worked...kind of...
It changed the resoloution but i couldnt move the apps out of a certain boundary.
Anyone know how i can get it to work? i'd love to put more apps on one page.
That's controlled by you launcher not lcd density. Go into your launcher settings if on one that has options and find where it says rows and columns. Up the number for more columns(sideways) or more rows(up and down).

quick question about adw launcher though, does it randomly hide your status bar too? (the bar on top withh the time / battery life.
That should be an option in ADW. On a home screen, press Menu -> Preferences. Then it should be pretty clear, if i remember.

May have a swipe gesture set to hide/show status bar and if you slide finger will hide status bar swipe up or down worth a try..also in launchr settings...

For future reference, this is a limitation of using a custom resolution with the Market. There's certain resolutions that work, and most market apps will only install with these resolutions. LDPI(120), MDPI(160), HDPI(240), XHDPI(320). Anything else will give you "This app is incompatible with your device". Sometimes you can get around it, other times you cant.

Yeah its adw sometimes it will drain it but go into your running services. Settings>Applications>Running Services. And turn off some things that are running like DRM Services, Sns (if you don't use facebook), .com.samsung.info. android core apps, google services. Etc when your not using your phone these things don't need to be running but will reappear when you need them.
Also quit turning your phone on to look at the battery it won't sleep right if your constantly waking it up....

I read the forum rules and online gambling isn't mentioned. Any good guesses on when we will be getting 4.0? I am betting $5.00 on 3/30/12.
I'll take the end of February for $0.00... They have to add all the unneeded bloatware.
Way too optimistic dates above me ^
Id say about a month after the sgs3 is released
as soon as bubby finishes cm7 they can do ics, lmao
$5 we won't see it until August

What I really want to know is when if ever we will have a fully functional AOSP ICS ROM? I'm sure TW will make ICS look and feel like crap.
What about never. Lol. Who knows maybe Sammy will surprise us and drop it on us soon.

Okay, then you just throw on the Trebuchet launcher from CM9, or even the vanilla ICS launcher, and your problems are solved.
Dang, you wouldn't even have to have Root for that. Just like when I bought this phone: Touchwiz 4.0 didn't even make it out of the Best Buy parking lot before I had ADWEX running. (and Touchwiz 4 actually had a slim chance of survival, because it's the best version they've made so far, to be sure.....)
However, ADW won out merely because of the sheer speed factor.
(And yes, I know that Touchwiz is still there, lurking underneath, but it's really almost transparent compared to HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur thing....)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, the pool for "official" release: February 21st.
I think you should make the launcher look more in favor of the new flavor. The people app is royally renovated and I am looking the look. Any idea if you can make the theme of the whole phone look like that?
1. Making the status bar transparent
2. Vertical scrolling of the apps menu. Scroll horizontally to go to widgets menu.
3. Changing the whole background to white (pearl white) with black roboto font, or at least an option to do so.
4.to make apps on the dock bar run continuously so that there a no lag when trying to open them.(everyone I try to open the people app, it takes sometime to load and it's irritating)
5 instead of grey background on every pop up menu, a blue white themed menu options would be great. I am new to xda, so if this is in a wrong forum, please feel free to post the same in the right forum.
I greatly appreciate the work your are doing. Good luck!

Official ICS? I'm guessing April or May probably.
Unofficial? January is looking pretty likely so far.

that's more like it! 6-9 months for me as well. gentleman's bet of course though.
My request was not exactly a theme. the status bar becoming transparent can be viewed as hiding the status bar. scrolling options is definitely launcher. and keeping the dock icons in homescreen running use definitely launcher again. and yeah dude you missed something. And as long as you don't do anything productive there's no need to lol. And this is me being polite.

Is there a touchwiz rom that is essentially stock but is unlocked so I can move my app drawer button and the number of rows and columns of icons? These are really the only things I want to change. Thanks in advanced community.
i remember for my gs2 there was a modded tw launcher that u could fully customize, even had themes.vit was called i believe "twiz launcher 4.5" I'm pretty sure it runs on our device. just do a forum search for tw 4.5 or similar to that and ull find it. it was very cool.

Search TweakWiz. Puts the app drawer in the middle and changes the grid layout to utilize more of the screen real estate.
Edit: I was feeling nice, so I searched for you, as I remembered it being linked in the Wicked ROM thread. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30471519
Just a side note about searching, for those who use the app, you can open any thread in the browser using the menu or tapping a post, and the search feature once in the browser view works great. You can search the thread itself, or "breadcrumbs" at the top of the page to go back and search a specific forum(like Q&A, Development etc). I know the app's search feature isn't very good, so just thought I'd share.
