When I had an iphone you could get a Cydia tweak called Cascade which would make your dock icons have a little bit of a twist or tilt to them and was wondering if there is any app that I Could do that with?

mihome or go launcher ex mihome for a more iphone like ui
and they both should have transition effects under settings
Thanks, not really a transition effect but more just effects the docked icons to give them just a little tilted look. Google Cascade effect for iphone and you can see what I'm talking about

If you find anything post it here please.. I always been curious about giving icons a different aspect but just didn't know how to

This should be easy to do with custom icons that are created to look tilted.

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here

How do I get the home screen wallpaper to pan when I change screens? I thought all android phones can do this?
Samsung turned it off.
If you're rooted and used an use Deodexed ROM you can flash a mod to enable it again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960039
I think Samsung must be disabling this awesome feature due to some kind of lawsuit probably with apple. I love the scrolling wallpaper. And that is unfortunate. It started making it way out when Gingerbread was getting some updates.
I never liked nor understood the meaning of scrolling walls, anyway, if you want that just use another launcher.
Get nova launcher prime
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
I am also wondering why they disabled this feature. Also Asus did the same. There must be a good reason for this.
Can't be apple since they don't have panning wallpaper. Or do they now? I am quite sure android had it first.

Hey guys, so I changed my LCD density, but touchwiz doesn't traditionally play nice with it, does anyone know if there's a way to alter touchwiz to change as well? If you can see in the picture there's a huge gap between my apps and dock. I cannot move apps below the line they're currently on.

Oh yeah.just looked at it closer didn't zoom in before.I noticed it shows the home screen dots right below that widget.I would think your only option is to try that other apk. I could try missing the layouts of the stock one but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what that other one has.

Thanks for the heads up man. Very cool launcher. Anyone figure out how to add additional screens though? Most themes only come with 1 or 2 screens and I like more than that for my widgets.
I just found this launcher today. Still figuring it out. But I think it is using quite a bit if memory. Pretty cool easy theming though without relying on uccw. I did add screens but it was by accident so I do know it is possible.

If you bring up the launcher settings, click on upload. That will bring up a "normal" home screen manager" that also lets you upload your homescreen
