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..?

I installed home switcher, set GO as the default and then rebooted and it booted into the default launcher ?
Also when I go into Go Launcher press the main menu button it still goes back to the main samsung launcher?

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...

Is it possible to change the delay on the home button long press to bring up the task manager more quickly in touchwiz? By default it feels frustratingly slow!
I want to keep the S-apps so I am not interested in a different home manager.
Thanks
Here the little known solution.

Please here me out as this involves installing Nove launcher. Something you stated you do not wish to do.
Install Nova launcher but after pressing the home button choose TouchWiz "always".
If you now long press the screen and choose "apps & widgets". In there somewhere is a widget called Nova launcher. Long pressing this to place it on the screen invokes a menu that actually belongs to the Nova launcher where you can choose "Recent apps". This places a recent apps shortcut on your screen which open instantly.
This obviously does not help if you are not on the home screen and will jump back to a previous app. In such situations you should use the best app on the market for multitasking which is called SwipePad. You need to purchase the "recent apps" add on ftbut it's worth it.
Hope this helps.
I wish S-apps (especially the S-Planner widget) worked with third party launchers. Touchwiz is smooth and fast but the grid is simply to limited and no full screen annoys me.
download taskmanager app from samsung appstore...put it on homescreen
Disable double press of the home button in S voice.
Whenever you press the home button it waits to see if you double press it before deciding that you only intended to press it once.

Thanks for these tips, swipepad looks very interesting!
Also I didn't realize that the pop-up S-Note still worked with Nova Launcher, so I may keep Nova anyway (I think I can live without S-Planner...)
Hi,
I have had my Tab S 10.5 for a couple of weeks now and cannot seem to find out how to move/rearrange icons on the home screen or create folders and move icons into them.
I have a Note 3 that has a soft menu button for the Home Screen but I cannot find how to display this when on the Home Screen of the Tab S.
If I long hold on the home screen I get a highlighted home screen and Wallpaper and Widgets option at the bottom.
If I long press on an icon on the home screen I get the usual 'Tap Edit to resize widgets, and reposition widgets, shortcuts, and folders.
I have searched this forum and Googled for this issue but cannot find anything, please help?
Thanks
One way I know to create folders on my Tab S 8.4 is to create them in the Apps list, then drag it onto the Home Screen. Then you can hold-drag your Home Screen icons to move/rearrange the icons and organise into the folder as usual. The 10.5 can't be that different to 8.4?

I can create a folder in the Apps list and drag it to the home screen, but when I hold-drag on an icon I just get the message 'Tap Edit to resize widget etc etc ....'
I contacted Samsung live chat and they got me to to try a few things and advised a long hold on the home screen should display the menu but I don't see it, so they then told me to take it to the Samsung store in Sydney or a repair centre in Granville which are not close to where I live at all.
If I cannot find a fix I will have to take it back to JB HiFi for a replacement, only 2 weeks old so shouldn't be a problem.

Samsung Australia is forced to remove the behaviour from TW, due to patent lawsuit that Apple won in Australia.
If you wish to fix it, you can flash a non Australian firmware with Odin to return the functionality.
Of course a simpler and better suggestion is to load a better launcher like Nova, which is faster and far more functional & customizable than TW anyway.
Please can you tell me what functions have been removed as I get a similar message on my Note 3 but can press the Menu button to access Edit and Create a folder etc?
The Tab S doesn't have a Menu Button, is there a long press to get the Menu option to appear?
Thanks

Possibly your device need a Factory Reset, sounds like it's behaving unusually, because tap and hold an icon intuitively should allow you to move the icons around that page or to the other pages. You said you have researched throughout the forums (and that I haven't seen anyone else with this issue), it may be it's an isolated issue on your tab.
Although, long hold on home screen also does not give me that option on this Tab S and I think on the Tab PRO as well. Same thing when I press and hold the left capacitive button (the task manager button), all I got are Wallpaper, Widgets, and "Remove" trash can.
My suggestion is still Factory Reset before you return the device, unless you still prefer in doing so.

Oh wow, didn't know about that. So silly that Apple.
Anyway, the Task Manager button (left capacitive button, left side of the fingerprint scanner / Home button), which where the usual Menu button used to be, if you tap and hold it, it will behave like a Menu button. See if it's working or whether Australia's firmware is forced to remove that as well, lol.

I believe 3 changes exist on Australian firmware, you cannot edit or change the dock icons, the Samsung Gallery Autorotate doesn't work (the grey rotate icon is greyed out), and It's often been said that camera shutter sounds cannot be disabled, although that may be a global thing.
It was recently mentioned that an update to the Samsung Galaxy S5, had recently again enabled the dock icons to be edited, but I haven't seen any other devices mentioned with a similar update.

So no mention of the Edit menu being taken away from the Home Screen then, or not being able to move icons on the Home Screen.
I have tried doing a factory reset and still have the same issue, is there nobody else in Auz who has seen this issue?
If I long press on the left button next Home all I get is Wallpapers and Widgets at the bottom, no menu to creature a folder etc.
I don't mind using a launcher but I am sure I should be able to move icons and create folders on the Home Screen with the Samsung setup on the Tab S.
Should I be take it back for a replacement?

Alright, I have tapped and hold on a icon on Home Screen, the page shrinks a bit, you can move the icon around, AND you get the 3 option on the top, Create New Folder, App Info, and Remove.
When you do this, you don't get these options?

It seems to be expecting you to access the Menu option to select Edit, but I just cannot find the Menu anywhere.
If I long press on the soft button to the left of the Home button it goes to the home screen add or remove screen, and I get Wallapaers and Widgets at the bottom and Remove at the top.

Well, I also get the Wallpaper and Widgets at the bottom and Remove on the top when I long press the left soft button.
Another thing I would suggest is visiting a store that has tab on display that you can play around with, testing the missing "Create Folder" selection when long pressing the Home Screen.
If they behave the same, then TW is broken for Australia ROM
Not much can be suggested other than what's already been suggested... flashing other stock ROM from different region... or wait till Samsung workaround that ban... which could be never. Sorry, Man.

I have the same issue. Unable to create folders on home screen. When I press and hold any icon on home screen no option to create folder appears. I can create folders in the apps folder but that's of no help on homesceeen
I'm in the UK and had the same issue. I bought my tab from a retailer on ebay. I checked my firmware and it was for Hong Kong. So I downloaded Uk firmware from sammobile, flashed with odin and bingo! TW working with all options avaiable.

figured it out!
I had the same problem but have figured it out. If you go into your apps screen there's a list of options on the top right represented by 3 verticle dots. Click on the dots and one option is to create a folder. The folder will open in the apps section but you can then drag it to your home screen and use as normal. If you delete the folder from your apps page it will still stay on your home screen. Good luck!
Hi,
I'm using on my Tab Pro 8.4 CyanogenMod11 M9.
I configured the recents buton as "open/close menu" for short press and the home button as recent app switcher for long press.
But the open menu action doesn't work in any app. I tried each other possible action. But no configuration works to open the menu. That's very bad for Firefox. Firefox don't offer me a settings button in the app. So I can't open the settings.
Does someone know the problem? Maybe it is fixed in a nighly build.
Can someone reports its expierence?
Thanks!
Dominik
Hey,
I deactivated for all buttons the open menu action. Now, Firefox offers me the settings button. This is a workaround. But I guess that there is a bug somewhere in the software?
What do you thing about it?
Thanks
Dominik
Try changing ur DPI in build prop to a higher # like 320, 340, etc. I use 400 cuz I like it big. That did the trick for me.
Uff, where do I find the DPI option? I looked in the developer options but nothing found. Is the a further hidden option?
Thanks for help
Dominik
Use ES File Explorer. Must have root access switched to RW on all columns in the tools menu. Navigate to device at the top/ then system/ build prop. Select ES note editor to open. You'll see a list of ur build prop. Then select menu, edit. Scroll down to lcd_density, and change to desired #. Save and exit. Careful not to mess with any other settings. Reset tablet, profit.

Try 380. That's a nice size for this screen.
Great! :good:
The settings menu in Firefox and other apps is back for values > 356
Now I will find out the best resolution for me.
Is this fixed in later nightlies? I'm working on cm11 for t800 (chagallwifi) and face exactly this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57791664&postcount=657 and some of the following postings.
Just picked up my Note 4! With the replacement of the settings button with the Multi-Tasking button (which I love) how is everyone getting into their settings? Wondering if there was another quick settings option outside of placing a shortcut on the home screen. Loving the phone!!
Long press the multitasking button.
this did not work on mine, i have since installed nova yet again and not long pressing the open apps button works.
There are quite a few things they took away from this note that was on the note 3.
I decided not to install Nova yet, but he is right long pressing works. Looking forward to some blogs putting up guides and screenshots of all the new and "hidden" features.
Just pull down the notification shade...there's a settings button. Lol.
I think they mean the per-app settings button rather than the main device settings app.
I too love the multitasking button. Long hold press on home button was making me die a little bit every time on the note 3. This is much better.
Now, if I could stop accidentally invoking multitasking thinking I am going to get an app settings menu to drop down! Doh

Well, long-pressing the multitask button works for me to get access to the overflow/menu....
App specific options/settings menu? I dunno how else to explain it. Not all apps have them and the functionality is app-dependent. I.e. in chrome it pops up a menu with options like <- and -> and find in page etc. Now you have to long press the bottom left softkey to get to that instead of a single tap.
Main phone settings app you get to by tapping the gear button in the notification screen- which hasn't changed. Seems like that is what you were referring to. There has never been a softkey to get to that- that I know of

Overflow menu, yeah. Sorry didn't know what the heck to call that thing. Sorry for the confusion
