A few days ago, I started modifying my stock launcher on my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200). I've focused on the dock.
Till now I've managed to modify the launcher so far, that I can store up to 13 icons on the dock.
I also managed to remove the text from the icons. This is how my screen looks at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I want to continue modifying the dock by making it scrollable (like the homescreen or appdrawer).
And before anyone suggests me exactly, what I do not want, I'll explain briefly what is important for me.
I don't want to use a different launcher (like Nova / AWD / Apex / or something like that).
I also do not want to use any other app, which modifies my launcher.
I simply want to modify my stock launcher (TouchWiz) by modifying the code itself
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me or at least could explain to me
where the scrolling of the homescreens is defined in the code.
.
Wonder how you get 13 icons in the dock? Wish I had that option.

Well, ... I just modified SecLauncher3.apk. But I recognized that these 13 apps won't survive a reboot.
When I reboot my device, the system/launcher (or whatever it is) resets the dock, so that only 10 apps
will be shown after reboot. I still have the possibility to put up to 13 apps on the dock, but after reboot,
only 10 apps will be shown.

Oh, yeah...thanks! I had never concidered (with my limited knowledge) that the launcher is also just an apk running on android. big ah-ha moment for me there. Thanks for the eye opener.

If I understand it correctly, that's the launcher (app drawer) from Nexus One.
would like to see 5 icons across rather than four. But not sure what else it does lol

How have you had it working, i.e. in the sense that it looks and acts like a nexus one.

We have already found that you just pull the apk from a nexus1 rom and install it onto the desire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6002164&postcount=80
Then you goto applications and remove htcsense from being default and force close it. when you next go to the home screen it asks which one you want to use (htcsense or launcer2)
EDIT: You can also install Gallery3d from the nexus this way

But if you just install launcher2.apk from N1 it's not functioning properly -- icons are small, etc.

Works fine here, everything looks exactly as it should
Maybe I had the wrong APK. Can you share the one you've used?
Hello GUIse & Girls
I don't know about you, but I love the AOSP launcher from Android 2.3, it's sleek, compact and does exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing I have to fault about it is the fact that you cannot customise the dock to put an app of your choice there. So, I downloaded Launcher2 today and had a look in the PNG's & XML's and I saw that you can infact reroute it to show the app of your choice. So, I am introducing to you Launcher2 with the SMS Shortcut instead of the Browser. Below is a screenshot as an example, download link is also below just flash as normal via CWM. If you want anymore shortcuts adding to the dock, let me know and I'll do it. If you want to add this into your ROM. PM Me to let me know. Also, thanks to ReddV1 for giving me permission to modify and give me some tips on doing this.
THIS ONLY WORKS ON AOSP ROM's or with the AOSP SMS Installed.
Screenshots (this is been used on DevNull ROM)

Simi Clock Widget. Free app on the Market.
Nice work mate... Always liked Launcher2 but with the same thought that I'd like to change that second app...
After trying out TW I might have to give this a go!
Hi I was just wondering which message app this is trying to launch?
Every time I click on the icon it says application is not installed on your phone.
Thanks.

The icon looks like it could be ChompSMS, but I just figured that was the image used...
I will install chomp and see thanks for the advice.
Notice that NitrozK has updated the OP to show that its the AOSP SMS app that this works with...
Anyone that wishes to use this should head over to this thread:[APPS] 16 Aug: Google Stock bits for Galaxy S II ROMs where Paul has posted the AOSP SMS app along with all the others...
Note - You'll need to ADB push the app...
I hope iam right here with my Question.
Before i tried on the German Forum but nobody seems to respond. So i hope i find help here.
I like the ClockWidget.apk from the Galaxy Nexus and want to have it on the Galaxy Nexus. It is possible to install it but i cant see the Widget. It is not possible to set them cause they are not there.
Maybe someone can help me with that.

If you can't make the .apk work give Beautiful Widgets a try.
Many clock widget skins to choose from and quite a few very similar to what you are looking for.

Simply install it, but remember to allow installation of non-market apps trough settings > developement options >
Make sure to keep your clock on internal memory since widgets installed to sdcard are removed from your widgets selection since your homescreen would crash if you connected your phone to your pc (sdcard is unmounted on usb connect).
Please report your experience. And yes beautiful widgets is a very good alternative

I has installed it but like i say, there is no widget for me to choose. Maybe its because of Liquidsmooth, ApexLauncher or whatever. Its crazy...

I've tried to replicate 100s of layout from MyColorscreen, but this time I would really like to succeed, so hopefully with all your help, I will finally get this right!
So this is how it looks now:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is how I want it:
It's this homescreen made by Alex T
I like the nexus setup more. Now what is the problem obviously the black stuff doesn't cover the sides of the screen and the top and bottom. Why?
I set apex launcher to a 10*8 grid like he said for the gs3
Has anyone got that uccw file (the top one)?
Also how do I place widgets on top of the black uccw box? I have set the option in apex launcher to widgets overlapping.
Help please!!!

Could you not make the black bit part of the wallpaper?
Nope, it's a live wallpaper
Okay, so Alex T replied and provided the uzip files yaay. Only the gs3 ones though, like the nexus ones better.
This is what I got so far.
Next problem I can't get my icons over the uccw widgets, do I need a special program?
Will someone please help me? Thx
The icons are part of a uccw. Have a look in blackbearblanc thread in theming section you'll find everything you need and read up more on how to edit in uccw

Hello
Since the update from a11 to a12 i must say that for me it was quite a step back in many ways. I can live with most of the things but i cant get over the quick settings. Its a huge deal breaker, i wonder is there any solution out there one could completely replace this crappy big tiles altogether ideally systemwise as those pesky apps like power shade actually dont work really well. Or is there any AOSP rom that would have? I guess no? So probably OOS would be only option?
I am searching far and wide and seems there isnt anything. But if anyone would know of something give us shout!
Many thanks

the huge ones are on aosp roms
if i am not mistaking "anciet" has A11 tiles, or for A12Aosp you can try "project themer A12" on the store
... maybe also "aosp customizer" majsk module allows somethink like that, on rice it is also customizable in 2,3,4 columns per row
yes thats what i am talking about...going back to OOS if there wont be anything to fix AOSP roms
That's was one of the reasons I came back to 11. Couldn't stand 12 view and feeling.
