Is there a Touchwiz shortcut/icon? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi,
I am currently switching back and forth from touchwiz and nova and I was wondering if there is a touchwiz icon/shortcut that I could add to my nova main screen? I remember I was able to get the touchwiz icon to show up in the past but now, no matter where I looked, I can't seem to find the icon (apps, widget, shortcut...etc.). Does anybody know any place or where to get the shortcut icon for touchwiz. Thanks!

Shortcut to TW? Didnt know about that. But you can try Home Switcher from Play.

Yeah I have Home Switcher currently but I thought it would be nice to have an icon/shortcut for Touchwiz. I was able to get it previously but now I can't figure for the life of me on how to get the shortcut for it

oops!
Thought I'd bump this- in the same Situation now. Had a shortcut working perfectly up to 10 minutes ago when I Accidentally deleted mine!
It's definitely possible though - I can tell you that Much!
EDIT: Another 10 Minutes Later and I've found the answer!
from Nova, long press on home screen then pick Shortcuts> activities> Toucwiz Home> Touchwiz Home (first in the TW dropdown, sub-titled com.android.Launcher2.launcher)

Question about ADW Launcher

I searched some but could not find. I've been using LauncherPro so I'm kind of new to ADW and I've got two questions:
1) With the app drawer open, I made the icon to launch my app drawer disappear after I returned to the homescreen. How do I get it to re-appear? I know it had something to do with the arrows but I can't make it come back for the life of me.
2) Is there a way to keep the wallpaper from moving as I slide homescreens? That option is available in LauncherPro but I can't find it in ADW. If not, then is there a way to customize what part of my wallpaper appears on each homescreen?
I like the fact that ADW has themes. That's why I want to try and stick with it but I don't feel like I've mastered it at all yet. If there's a tutorial you could point out, that would help.
Thanks.
1) Put your finger in the area where your launcher icon should be and swipe down. Swiping up hides it.
Don't know about number 2

thanks, that worked. I could've sworn I tried that before, but oh well.

[Q]Calendar widget?

I just got ADW launcher and I need a calendar widget to replace the stock one.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I'd like one similar to the stock month calendar widget. One that shows the whole month, some kind of bullet or marker on days that have an event, and some kind of text box showing the event for the day you touch.
Thanks.

I second that question/request. I wonder if theres a way to use the stock one with other launchers, it seems to be the only stock widget thats missing if i remember correctly.

Actually there's a couple more I need to find replacements for too.
The task manager widget that displays the number of active apps and takes you to the task manager if pressed.
And the double clock widget that will let you display two different clocks, with time zone and location of your choosing displayed.
Try jorte on the market? I love it!!

Thanks! I'm trying it out right now. There's still a few things from the stock one I miss though. It doesn't have a widget with a text box on the bottom that can show the whole event. Instead it shows small text in the day box that gets cut off, and you have to click on that day to see the whole event title. The tasks seem to be a little limited too. Like you can't add a location that you can navigate to later. I'm gonna keep playing with it though. Thanks.
i use the Go Launcher EX Calendar widget, it's simply the best available out there

yeah I saw Go launcher yesterday during my search and told myself I gotta try that one. Looks like a lot of good stuff on that one. I especially like that task manager widget that they have.
Thanks for the recommendation AllGamer! I'm using Go Launcher now and loving it.
lilant510, if you're still missing stuff from the stock, I suggest you try that one. Has everything I was missing from stock and more. Better than ADW IMO.
AllGamer,
Do you use the Go launcher toggle widget? Does it work ok for you?
When I press the GPS toggle, it goes to the GPS settings menu, instead of just automatically toggling it off/on.
The 4g toggle sometimes does and sometimes doesn't work also. Seems to depend on if the wifi is toggled on with it or not.
Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
i do not use the Go Toggle
because the ROM already has all the on/off switches i need build in

they also have a Transparent skin for the Go Calendar Widget, it makes it really elegant
I've used literally ever launcher available to date and imho Go launcher is the absolute best! And all the Widgets that come along with it put it over the top. There are so many skins fir the Widgets and I use the calander widget which is my favorite.

Screen rotation animation?

Can anybody post a screen rotation animation, one that works?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I have one for you!!!
get the ADW Launcher. The easiest way that I have found since I can't post links is to go to 4shared website then in the search window type in adw launcher.apk the first on on the list works perfectly. or you can do it on your phone and that saves you a step.
install it
press the home button on your phone. It's going to give you two options one is going to be like TWLauncher and the other will be the ADWLauncher. At the bottom make sure you check the set as default and then select adw launcher.
Press the menu>more>ADWsetting>UIsetting>General Behavior>Animation and Effects>Screen transition effect>Rotate
there are several different transitional effects on that menu so just play with it until you find the one that you love.
Works on Rooted or non rooted phones
I have used this with my phone since I had the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and pretty much know the ins and outs of this launcher. It's very customizable.
Try it out... I hope it's exactly what you are looking for.

Anyone having problems with Nova Launcher?

Very difficult to move icons on the home screen
Don't wait for the icons to "let go". Just long press and move Em. If you wait too long it will act like you let go.. Kinda hard to explain.

Noticed this. The only way i've found is to flick it away from the original position super fast and only then it lets me move it around and between homescreens.

This is due to nova launchers speed to be honest. The trick is to watch as soon as the icon begins to glow and then move it quickly. takes a little practice but its a learnable skill

That should be it.
Hahaha the little things that make a difference eh? It's easy to tell when we can move this on our phones because of the haptic feedback. I came to google the issue (thought perhaps my digitizer was defective, but it was okay everywhere else) glad to find this and the beta apk, cheers!
In nova settings there is an option to update which fixes all problems with nova. Just download and install apk for the win!!!
I am trying Nova.... I can't seem to get icons to show up "in the center" of the "icon area". I have screen set to 7 x 7 (I sure wish Nova had more rows), and when an app icon appears in it's space it is top justified, but widgets seem to be centered, so nothing lines up. I also like no margins, but the icon area also covers the dock, leading to problems. Does buying Pro fix this? Back to GO for me.

How do you get rid of this widget?!

Hi all.
I am at a loss. Running AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova Launcher. Out of nowhere yesterday, this Power control widget decided to add itself to the notification area. I dont even know how it got there and sure as hell dont know how to get it off of there. I know you can add it to one of the screens but did not know it can be added in that area. Does anyone have any idea where this setting is if it exists? I would like to know how to get rid of it before reflashing the ROM.
I know there is another set of toggles you can add which I had but then I was stuck with 2 power control widgets in the notification area. Thanks.
Try touching the settings button in your notification area
I did but then it adds or deleted another set of toggles on top of that one lol

In your app drawer find "Power Controls" and Uncheck the checkmark in the Notifications widget box, and press the pin button to turn it off in the accessibility menu.
Or
Uninstall the entire app

Thanks, man. That did it. I realized that I hid the app. Once I unhid it and unchecked that checkmark, it went away.
