I understand you can rename icons with a custom launcher ie nova apex etc.. but I dont want to lose my splanner widgets which you do.... I am running cleanrom 1.5 att with tw launcher and would love to shorten some of the icon text names... any ideas? I use to use an app called app renamer in play store but it doesnt work on jellybean... you lose your settings on reboot.

Nova does folders in app drawer (Nova settings, Drawer, drawer groups) - yeah, you have to pay for it, but it's worth it
BTW Go launcher works fine.
Really tried to give new TW a fair shake finally relented back to Zeam from the 'ol SlimICS on Captivate. That ROM had just changed to Lightning launcher which looked interesting and was as speedy as it's name implied. Still found myself back at Zeam there too.

Is there a mod for the TW Launcher that can put the correct badge counter on the gmail app and chompsms? They only work on the stock apps...
I am using Apex Launcher and it works perfectly for this.
I have seen that TW Launcher has been modded before for this purpose.
I like Apex but TW Launcher is much smoother and visually appealing (at least for me). I would love to go back to TW Launcher but this is the only issue that keeps me from going back.
On Apex Launcher I can choose which App to show the badge counter....
Same thing with the lockscreen. I wish to change the shortcuts for the lockscreen and their badges.
Thanks
Have you tried nova? With Tesla unread add on?

No... will do now...

Nova is looking nice!!!! super smooth... much more than apex... even flipboard is now smoother!!!!!
How can I disable wallpaper scrolling? Do I just need to download the stock tw launcher and replace the current one with that? Since the rom is odexed I would need to delete the .odex files as well correct?
Thanks in advance!

wallpaper scrolling is dependent on the launcher used. It can be disabled inside the launcher settings. No need to delete anything.HTH
There are no launcher settings for the touchwiz launcher

It depends on the wallpaper. I use a live wallpaper called Water Drop. It gives you a ripple effect similar to the stock unlock screen when you touch it. In the settings for it you can choose whether or not to scroll along with a bunch of other options. You can also use it with whatever picture you want as the background so it looks like you want it to.
I think it's ROM specific. Mine won't wallpaper scroll unless I select the option in AROMA during install. I use FreeGS.
It is launcher dependent, for example apex launcher supports it. I do believe there is a modified tw launcher that supports it, but I couldn't tell you where.

TW comes in different variations, which are ROM specific.
Is there a mod to move app drawer to the middle on tw launcher sorry if I missed it some were else have looked till my eyes hurt

Unfortunately no , please correct me if im wrong.
Nova Launcher Prime, with Jorte (calender app) & Transparent clock & weather are the replacement TW widgets
Ive been to note 1 and theres no famous mod for this untill now. You can use launchers in the playstore but then you loose touchwiz

I'm a new XDA user and new to rooting so please bear with me. I am simply looking for a TouchWiz launcher mod (I think mod) that allows me to use a 5x5 app format. I have the SGH-I317 with build: JZO54K.I317UCAMH3. Can anyone help me out?
You just need a different launcher...
Give Nova launcher a try from the play store..
No root required ...and it gives you the options to grid up to 6x6 I believe ...
Otherwise ...to get TW launchers with grid changes you would need root and a custom rom most likely ...g

I haven't had the best experience with launchers from the play store. Had a go launcher before and it was just too much. I went with the root because I figured I could just mod the touch wiz or flash a better touch wiz Rom.

Never mind. I gave up looking for a mod and downloaded the Nova Launcher. VERY easy to use, customizable the way I like and very smooth.
Now the only question I have about having multiple launchers is... How do I prevent them both from running at the same time? I already set the default that when I press the home button, it goes to the Nova Launcher. And then in Nova Launcher settings "swiped away" the touchwiz launcher. But is it still running in the background? Do I even still need it? If I don't, how do I remove it? And no worries, I have a backup from before I installed Nova.

Once you swipe away the tw launcher you have set nova as default. Only the default launcher will run. I would not remove the old tw launcher as it can be a backup in case nova acts up. In other words, its good to have multiple launchers installed. Only one launcher is active at a time.
