Someone said that double tapping is not working on sgs but im gonna try it

Just tried works,
How to:
Once downloaded from market, in your app draw open up itching thumb and configure it then press the home button and select it a your default launcher and on a double tap it will launch the task manager

Double tapping options really doesn't work well on the SGS.
But!
Single tapping options works perfectly, and I find it's actually more useful. Go into options for Itching Thumb, and set:
Double Click for Activation to OFF
Inertia to Medium
Make sure High Quality Previews is on
Then you can bring it up with just a single tap on home. To get to your normal home screen, just tap home a second time. The card layout works really well, and you can put shortcuts on the bottom bar - just hold down on it and it will pop up.
This is now my 'homescreen' of choice - really efficient!

Does it work if you have Launcher Pro ?

with launcher pro works not very well when press the home button

Anybody notice that it's not quite as responsive as, say, TouchWiz?
Like there's a tiny delay when sliding screens..

How can I add an application into the home screen folder? I cannot seem to drag it directly into the folder.

Yeah I haven't really found a launcher that's as responsive as touchwiz... MAYBE launcher pro but I think touchwiz is the smoothest and most responsive. If only it had all those other features =\

Touch the app in the apps drawer, then drag it to the bottom of the page all the homes screens open, simply drop to required screen.
To change dock apps, touch and drag them off the dock drag new app on.
Apps in the dock, can have a second app added by long touching one and selecting change gesture, this enables your choice of app when you (not touch) slide your finger up the icon.

Open the apps drawer, touch the menu button, choose settings, choose scrolling orientation, choose horizontal loop..

Can Golauncher create shortcuts to specific Settings screens etc like LauncherPro+?

doesn't work. To clarify, the screen is already packed, with 16 folders. If I just drop the app onto the page, it says operation failed becoz the page is full. I need to drop the app into a specific folder but it doesn't allow me to.

That wouldnt work as that would only be for horizontal orientation, cylinder doesn't show when using vertical orientation

Move the folder to an empty screen, then drop the app where you want it and then put it into the folder you want. Yes?

I have a couple of questions (sorry, new to GO Launcher) -
Can you boot straight into GO Launcher..???
Also, is there anyway of stopping the main menu button going back to the default Samsung menu..?

Start home switcher, in the bottom left corner click 'clear default' it will take you to another screen, at the right hand side of the screen look for 'Clear defaults' click it.
Now when you press the home button you will get the choice, before selecting check the 'Set as default' box then select Go launcher EX.
Note; to return another launcher as default repeat above...

Can I remove the 4 icons at the bottom of my phone?

Hello,
I'm not sure if it is a Samsung thing or not (I'm coming from Sense on a 3D). Can I remove the 4 icons that are always at the bottom or change them?

Yes you can remove them, and yes you can change the "Phone", "Contacts", and "Messaging". You cannot remove the applications icon to my knowledge.
1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Find the icon you want in your dock, press and hold as you drag it over the icon you wish to replace (in the dock).
5) Press the back capacitive button
If you want to remove them totally (except the app drawer icon)...
1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Press and hold the icon you wish to remove, and drag it up into the list of apps
5) Press the back capacitive button

Or for ultimate modification, to satisfy your craving for customization try an alternate Launcher.
Launcher Pro
Go Launcher
ADW Launcher
Etc.
Search the Market for these...so much fun to set your phone up the way you want to!

Thanks for the info. I've never rooted an Android before but I think this phone will be sweet once it is rooted.

Good thing about the alternative launchers is that there's no need to root to use them! And you can go back to original state very easily. This is THE SAFEST way to mess with the look of your phone!

Sweet once it's rooted? Ha! This phone is the first android of the 4 i've owned that I don't even feel like I 'need' root. It's that good.
However, as soon as they lose the wifi issue ill be a rooting fool.

or for the minimal in customization and modification try Launcher7.
...I actually paid for that one. I found that I spend so much time customizing my home screens and launchers to make everything 'just right', but, once I have it set up I never use any of it. So I go with Launcher7 because the WP7 interface is bloated, in your way and clunky but the most basic and most essential things are right there...and I actually rarely use anything but that during my day (at work).
Though I've gotta admit that if TW had a 4D app drawer and a few more home-screen transitions (or _any_ other) I don't think i'd bother changing launchers.

Took me forever to figure this out but you have to select "customizable grid" for the view type to be able to change the dock. Then when you're done you can change back and have them sorted alphabetically. That's also where you can put apps in folders and add home pages.

I should have written back that I don't know what the app drawer is or I'm doing something wrong. I have applications always sitting in the bottom right of my screen. I want to move that to the center of page 2 and put my flashlight where applications is always visible now.
Or perhaps there is a way to remove all four or have it pop up like a task bar so it isn't always wasting the bottom portion of any page?

Shortcut on the lock screen

Hello.
Is there some way to change the shortcuts on the lock screen? I would to change Voice Assistent shortcut.
Thanks a lot

Step 1: Head to Settings menu and then choose Apps.
Step 2: Press the gear icon in the top right-hand corner and choose Default Apps > Assist & voice input.
Step 3: Tap the Assist option and choose None from the pop-up menu.
The current selection is Google, which means that the Google Now shortcut on the lock screen will be replaced. And now for that caveat: Changing this setting also disables long-pressing the Home button to open Google Now on Tap.
If you change your mind, you can always switch the Assist app back to Google.

Thanks you very very much.
I solve the problem.
Happy new week

Power button far to Reach? Try Bixby Button Instead

If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!

Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision

Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)

Thanks, I'm using this now ?

Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.

If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...

Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.

Here's how I have mine set up...

you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

GoodLock is not globally available. NiceLock is an alternative though.
