[Q] [LAUNCHER] ssLauncher - Lable Problem - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
I just wanted to customize my Homescreen, but ssLauncher won't let me place Widgets in the top of the screen..
I thought i just had to find that "Hide Labels" Setting, but it doesn't exist in my version.. Don't know why.
(When tapping at the Samsung-Menu-Key, it shows all available pages/labels with the options on the bottom: "Theme" and "Settings"..but theres nothing like "Hide Labels")
Do you know how to enable that space, so I can place widgets there?
(Because I'm a new member I can't post a ScreenshotLink, but you could try this photo upload)

Use different launcher like apex and nova. They will let you do anything

Bottom dock problem?

I feel like an idiot asking this, but I tried looking on my phone left and right...
On the bottom of the home screen with the 3 apps, the middle one directs you to all of the apps on the phone..But I lost that, and now its just a star..How do I restore it? Thanks!
PS-Any settings for this?
What rom are you running? Im going to guess cm6. If i recall from memory you just need to hit menu on the home screen then select settings. On that list goto launcher or something like that its been a while since i ran cm. Anyway there is options for the launcher and soft keys there.

I recently ran into this problem while using ADW. At your home screen long click and add a custom shortcut. then select adw launcher actions, then chose open/close app drawer.. once thats on your home screen click and drag the icon to the drawer... you should be all set, of course that is if you are using ADW
I would of never figured this out. Thanks so much my friends!

[Q] Remove ADW Dock?

I'm on CM7 and figured out if I close the dock bar on the bottom I can still pin icons down there and it has a cool reflective effect. When I reboot I have to close the dockbar everytime. How can I make the settings stay?
I'm using the shortcut from longpressing homescreen- launcher actions- open close dockbar and keeping it on my homescreen.
Gone through adwsettings still nothing.

Good question...I was wondering the same.
And does anyone know whether CM7 has ADW or ADW Ex and can I install ADW Ex without causing problems?
@TonyArmstrong
Cm7 does not use ex, but you can install ex and use it if you like. Well, I can so you SHOULD be able to anyway

The second dockbar is considered the "hidden dockbar", and is hidden by default whenever ADW launches. I'm pretty sure there's no way to use it over the main dock, you have to "close" the main one.
I use both. You can also close the dock by swiping up on the middle icon (app drawer by default). I've actually got rid of my app drawer icon altogether. With gestures on the homescreens, swipe up opens app drawer, swipe down open/closes the dock. You can set your gestures to do whatever.

Yes you can install ADW EX without any problems, it's well worth it. I use EX and it is way faster and smoother. Just be sure to uninstall the regular ADW launcher AFTER you install ADW EX so you can save memory.
Thank you for the input. I do prefer the hidden dock. Too bad there is no way to make it default. oh well still cool as hell. You can get lost in those adw settings...
Wow I wasn't aware you could put other apps in there ... hah, thanks! Looks cool, indeed unfortunate can't make it default.

are u on ADW ex? theres kind of a way to do it not exactly sure what your settings are but in ADW ex settings/ui settings/main dock/main dock style/none(expanded desktop) you wont have a launcher. then enable hidden dockbar.
someone else also mentioned you can swipe gesture appear or disappear hidden dock. i have mine swype up to do that but u can command whichever u like.
adw settings/general behavior/gestures...then choose your actions.
-hope that helps! adw ex is cool..
Hmm I'm not using ex and I can set it to none (expanded desktop) however I don't see an option for hidden dock
Thank you though I will give ex a try out.
Will I still be able to use adw settings from menu->settings-> adw settings?

Instead of menu > settings > ADW settings you will have menu > settings and menu > ADW settings separately. You can rearrange the order of the menu in ADW Ex by going to ADW settings > general behavior > system preferences > customize menu. This will put whatever you put at the end under "more".
I also don't think you can choose "none" for the main dock but keep the hidden one. I'll try & let you know if I can.
EDIT: You can choose none for the main dock bit still use the hidden dockbar. However, I think that when it launches (ie after a reboot) the dock will be hidden by default. Unless you just don't like the main dock, you might as well keep it. This is probably something only available in Ex. Another cool Ex only feature is that you can change the background for both docks separately. I love ADW Ex

[Q] shortcuts on the home screens?

Been playing with my new phone for less that 24 hours. Something has been bothering me and I don't know if I am going crazy or not. Where did the shortcuts go? on gingerbread when you long pressed on the home screen you had the option to do widgets, and also application shortcuts... I don't know where those are now since widgets are now in the app drawer. Did they kill the shortcut in ICS?
they did, but somehow you can still do it since people have said they have desktop visualizer and folder organizer working.
If anyone knows how to do it please share.
Hold down on app icons in the main app directory. Widgets are also in this directory by using the widget tab at the top of the directory or swiping right beyond the apps.

That will just add a shortcut to the app on the main screen. I am looking for info on how to activate the shortcuts that some apps have. IE with touchdown email you can have a shortcut to your inbox... I can't find that functionality in ICS.
EDIT: Nevermind, misunderstood. No delete function here?
Most of the shortcuts seem to now be classified under Widgets. If a third party app is missing a shortcut it should have then that app will probably need to be updated for ICS.

Please post questions in Q&A

I am on JB 4.2.1 and I have just downloaded "Touchdown" software to understand your problem because I never used this software
Anyway, maybe what you want to do can be accomplished by a Widget called "Touchdown for Smartphone" (1x1). I have selected it, placed it on the main screen then it asked me to "Select the shortcut you want to add".
I hope this solves your issue

[Q] Organizing Widgets - How to ?

Hi All,
I have installed the " Minimalistic Text " app which added 13 widgets to the widgets page.. Actually I am using only one of these widgets.
Is there a way to remove all the widgets of this app except the one I am using ?
or maybe a way to put all of them in one folder ?
Thanks in advance,
To remove them long press and drag them to the "remove" bin that appears at the top of the screen.
I don't think you can put widgets in folders, though I've not tried; you could try long press and drag one on top of another to see what happens...

Go into Minimalistic Text setting > Global settings > Widget sizes and untick the ones you don't want to be shown.
To hide the widgets totally in your app draw you will need to install a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex.

[Q] Changing Lock Screen Wallpaper on T999

I recently rooted my phone and am using the Stockorama ROM. I'm also using Nova Launcher.
I've been wanting to change the wallpaper for my Lock screen, but when I get to the point of choosing which folder to get the picture from
all I get is the "Wallpaper" folder. Now I've looked around many threads/forums and I can't seem to find the answer.
Please help,
Thanks in advance
are you trying to set it from the home screen, or settings?
If you've replaced the launcher it won't give you access to TW gallery from home screen and maybe not settings.
Install quickpic and try it again.

Thanks for the reply, but Quickpic didn't help me.
Is un-rooting my phone the only way to change my lock screen through the Gallery (or anything other than the "Wallpaper" folder) ?
I've seen other rooted phone users online who have this option available to them. It's really frustrating because I feel like
I can't change the settings for something I paid for
I'm running nova launcher and I can change lockscreen wallpaper fine.. it doesn't give you a "set as" option in gallery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Nova should have nothing to do with the LockScreen. Look under Settings>Security options for it, it is hidden. (I'm on CM10.1 or I'd post exactly where it is.)
Its Settings, Lockscreen actually. You can customize it there, but to set wallpaper go to Settings, Display, Wallpaper, Lockscreen.

Thanks Doc, I knew it was in a weird place, but couldn't remember exactly.
The phone won't let me change the lockscreen image AT ALL. When choosing a picture and selecting "Set As" I get the following options: Contact Photo, Nova Wallpaper, QuickPic wallpaper, Wallpaper.
When I go to Settings -> Display -> -> Wallpaper -> Lockscreen The only "Select wallpaper from" option I get is: Wallpaper (The wallpaper folder of course). Could I have done something wrong when I rooted the phone? I'm pretty new to this after all (A friend rooted my last phone for me).
Are you using the Touchwiz gallery when you do this, or a different gallery like quickpic?

I'm using the Touchwiz gallery, but the same goes for QuickPic.
+1 to the "wallpaper [app??]" ONLY choice, for the lock screen
Any luck with finding the solution? Rooted quite a few devices, so far, but the combo s3+rooted stock kills me - regardless how many picture manipulation apps I tried installing/uninstalling/making defaults (gallery, quickpic among others), when going into settings -> display -> wallpaper -> lockscreen, the only available "app" to use to choose the wallpaper is ... well ... wallpaper. Trying to set up the lockscreen from one of the picture manipulation apps, via "save as", does not work with lockscreen either.
I scanned the device for the string "wallpaper", and there are some folders obscurely placed in /data/data/com.samsung.....wallpaper/.... Maybe I should try to create my own and place them in one of those wallpaper folders??? But there ought to be an easier method, otherwise why would they offer the one mentioned in the paragraph above???
