Thank goodness for Widget Locker
My App Shortcuts aren't always showing by the way, only when you press against the Lock in the middle.
My very bottom "lock" unlocks the screen, if you slide right to left, sliding left to right changes the ringer settings..

yea man, the lockscreen looks very nice and rather useful. Haha. Ive tried cm10 a lot of time, but i miss the stock touchwiz features like wifidirect and a few other things way too much to switch to an AOSP or vanilla android rom. Been trying the new jellybean leaks, but now im on wanamlite and enjoying it very well.
oh well, i guess ill have to find a third party unlocker app that will allow me to have all of those shortcuts on my lock screen.

Messaging themes

I know within the stock Samsung messaging app you can change the text bubbles and the background. My question today is...it's it possible to use custom message bubbles and background?
If so where's would I have to place those files for them to be usable within the app?
Thanks

I do not believe this is possible as of right now. I have not seen any other threads indicating it's possible. I too would like to see this happen though.

Wow do I actually get to contribute something for once?? LoL I'm so used to absorbing all the knowledge here being the noob I am.
Aside from what the others recommended, I haven't seen any easy ways to add custom bubbles but I did recently notice that you can easily change the background to a custom picture.
If you go into your messaging settings and choose to change the background, there's an option to add your own picture whether it be from your gallery or directly from your camera. The one and only downside is that you're limited to one custom background at a time... if you change it, your new choice will overwrite the old. No big, tho.
I remember looking for this option back on ICS but never found it so I'm assuming it was added with the JB update.
(I'm running on rooted stock ROM, btw.)

[Q] Stock keypad

Does anyone have or know where to get the stock keypad apk for messaging? I like to have the numbers at the top like it had from the factory...the skynote rom also had the same keypad, so maybe i can pull the apk from it and push it to any other rom that i am using? Where would it be located at if so? The system folder is where the apk's are for the apps but i dont see anything for mms or messaging...

It wont run on a non Touchwiz rom since it is dependent upon the framework. You can try it if you like, check out the link in my sig.

There is a way to make AOSP keyboard show numbers on top. Under advanced setting in keyboard add Custom input style English (PC). There is step by step instructions some where here on XDA, just do a search.

This is a handy workaround. Thanks. However, this setting also has punctuation keys on the right, making all the keys smaller. My perference would be for a true Note 2 type keyboard, though as of yet it's not available for 4.2. I'll use this in the meantime, though. The info is appreciated.

Move icons around like iOS ?

I like to arrange my apps by alphabetical order, and it's a real pain in the ass that when I add a new app it doesn't just push all the icons over a space it pushes sone down some sideways.
Any way to tweak it so it reacts like iOS when I'm adding / removing /moving icons?
Thanks.

Man press menu button while app drawer open...view type...alphabetical grid...bam done.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

First off I'm not talking app drawer. I'm talking desktop pages. Second off, when pressing menu button in the app drawer there is no such option as you speak of. Thirdly the app drawer is already in alphabetical order. So no need to even do what you suggest.
Anyone else have an actual answer to my question?

I can't directly answer your question but I will give a suggestion. You can the ROM in the link and maybe this can be more like iOS for you. The apps behave like iOS sort of. Give it a look at least.

Why do you even put your apps on the home screen instead of just leaving them in the drawer? I could understand a few, but not all of them.

I agree with this. The idea behind the home screen is to place widgets and app icons in such a way that is convenient for quick info access and the more commonly used apps and functions on the phone. The app drawer is the all apps view. Seems a waste to do otherwise.

And fourth seems like you don't know how to phrase a question with all the information. Next time tell people what launcher you are using and what screen you are trying to accomplish it on....so people dont waste there time giving you such unsatisfactory answers.

Why don't you use folders instead? Less clutter and probably works better for what you want.

You do realize this will lag your launcher out right? As stated above use folder for it.

I think the issue is that you see a droid like iOS. Its isn't. IOS is an app drawer and that's its when it comes to how it functions. Apple places every app on the front yet android allows you to make it your own and exercise your creativity...or the lack there of. Its how it works
I suggest maybe miui would be worth a shot to try. They are about 50 different launchers out there to try but none of the popular ones will work like you want.

That is the way the launchers are made to work. There is no changing it unless you build your own launcher and change the way it moves the icons.

What is wrong with the OP? They gave him an answer so why is he being difficult?

They gave me answers? No they shot down my question with bull**** remarks and started acting all android fanboy like because I'd like icons to move around like they do on a iPhone which is in my opinion is a lot easier to deal with then the randomness of the android icon movement.
