[Q] Mini apps tray modification, removal - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I find mini apps tray (show / hide dock at bottom), with apps showed that I couldn't modify, quite annoying. Searched internet for solution - modifying it or removing it fully, but no success...
Does anybody have an idea how to remove or modify this tray?
Thanks.

I've no clue what you are referring to. "Mini Apps Tray" is a feature of Touchwiz UX 4.0 though.

Hehe, what you see is the apps you have used recently. Do some search on YouTube on Honeycomb and watch so you can see how honeycomb work and how you use it

Sorry, I obviously didn't explain it good. I'm not referring to left side pop-up bar that shows recent apps, but the downside one with taskbar, calendar, clock, mini music...

On the bottom in that pic? That is touchwiz.... hasn't been released yet. So unless you are sleeping with somebody at Samsung who hooked you up, I'm confused.

How do you have mini apps tray when its not released yet?

To the direct left of the time display on the bottom bar, sometimes little notification app icons are shown there - kinda like in windows task tray. For instance, someone at bestbuy installed some speedometer app on the tab and it showed a little icon in that area. When you tapped it it said, enable gps for speedo to work (well I'm getting a little off topic) Anyway, I could not figure out how to get it out of there and it started to annoy me because it was a really ugly icon...
EDIT: Now that I reread the original post, it does seem like he is talking about the touchwiz app tray...

Am interested to know if there has been any progress with modifiying the Touchwiz Mini Apps tray. Is it possible to add Apps to it as I can't find a way to do it at the moment?
Thanks

you can get them to run because it is just more then adding an app to make it work. Samsung has kept this source to themselves. so we cant change those apps until they do.

[Q] [SOLVED] Gaps in App Drawer

My girlfriend has the X10 mini and when she removes an app from the phone, the icon is removed from the app drawer as expected but it leaves a space where the icon used to be which is never reused whn a new app is installed
she has several of these gaps now, has anybody else had this problem or know how to fix it or refresh the list maybe?

You should get a launcher like ADW. It has a much better drawer. There's no comparison between it and Sony's one.
The x10 mini's launcher tray is different from the trays of other launchers that just list the apps in alphabetical order - you can reorder them yourself - press the menu button, then select "Arrange icons" and you can drag the icons into a new order (so you can drag other apps to fill your spaces, or organise the apps by type, etc)

I think LauncherPro only works on Android version 2 and up.
Yeh i found the gaps that were left behind a bit annoying... but i also found scrolling through each page at a time and remembering where each app was annoying as well as i started to rack up quite a few pages and the app drawer always loads at the page u were last on.
But now i use helix launcher which puts it all in alphabetical order which i did found annoying at first as i wasnt used to it but getting familiar with what apps u have and what they're called as well as being able to see more apps on the screen and scrolling down to the bottom with 1 swipe makes it a winner!
If your gf doesnt regularly download lots of apps and uninstall them i'd suggest to just rearrange/shift the apps into the gaps for her or get her to herself.

[REQ] The New Home and Car Dock Apps

It looks like that Samsung has released a new version of the Samsung Car Home and Dock Home Apps that would not work after the 2.2 Upgrade. The problem, for me, is that the Google Market reads my carrier at AT&T and thus won't let me install because it is "Not Available for my Carrier."

I will not start begin a tirade into why this single requirement is a determinate for what apps I can and cannot download on my device. Anyone who uses XDA has, more or less, decided that freedom > control. If anyone can post up the APK's I would really appreciate it -- I don't know any other way to get these apps. Thanks all!

@ferhanmm
Thank you sooo much - wasn't getting anywhere with finding these or the Google Car Home app (AppBrain has Google Car Home listed in it's market, but if you try to download it re-directs to the Google Market & gives a not found message).
Now off to mod a USB lead to trigger the Car Dock automatically...
I managed to download these from Samsung Apps, but the Desk Home keeps force closing when i try to select the city. Is this happening for anyone else?
I have the same problem

None at all but these aren't on cm7 do I installed em lol.
They look same and on the car dock there's more than just 3-4 apps now its like 6
Oh ok thanks... I'll attempt to install later.
Force closes add city for me too on darkys 10.1 jvh - firmware 2.2.3
Wow, Google's Car Home is much better. This one you can't add any custom icons to the launcher AT ALL. Unfortunately neither this one nor the Google one shows up in the market for me, and I have no idea why (on T-Mobile, and they don't even show up when using an official ROM)...
Attached to this post is the Google CarHome app version 2.2.1.4. Both files need to be pushed to /system/apk to work.
If anyone, of course, has a NEWER version, that would be awesome.

Music control Notification bar/Multitask

Hi there guys,
With days of use with our "very nice" Xperia S.
Ive been waiting few features to be added at this section.
Does somebody know an music control "add-on" for this phone?
For notification bar or even better, for the multitasking menu.
Like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Its really anoying to switch everytime...
Thanks in advance

- I think , it's impossible if you want to add Music widget / controller to "multi-tasking menu"
- If you want music widget / controller add to "notification bar" , u need android 4.0 ics library to make it possible.
I'm almost 100% sure Sony would add this in 4.0 update. Samsung has done it with even their gingerbread roms, just need someone with the skills to do it. But I can wait.
Nothing is impossible.
Look the iphone
Hmm then we must wait and hope!
Thx for your response guys

yes, nothing is impossible, just dig in inside play store and look for widgetsoid,
once u downloaded it, open it and check Play/Pause,Previous and Next on sound tab, then go to advanced tab, check on Notification and Widget Invisible, plus u can customize the look of your notification widget on theme tab.
ps - for some reason (i dont know) the widget will not play/pause, next or previous, but once u hit the button, a popup will appear in order to response.
a
here is mine. Sorry for the screenshot (not yet root)
i think it is possible also with GB libs...
i remember Samsung did that also in Eclair roms...
you should modify SystemUI.apk and framework.jar, the same way it has been modified for adding "notification toggles", calling the fw methods called by the widget...
You should be root of course to do that...

Thanks krabappel, yeah my old LG O2x had music built into the notifications bar, was a cool idea similar to widgetsoid but better.
The O2x has it in gingerbread and had it on froyo.

Thx for yiur posts guys!
Ive checked that app but its rare, its shows an popup.. Im sure i saw somewhere to turn that off.. I couldnt find it anymore...
With modding we can do everything ...

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a built in music widget on the notification bar.
Maybe there is a way to replace or port it from the Galaxy S2 or search there in the treaths

Question regarding spacing between icons

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.

Apps supporting the multi-window mode

Hello fellow note 2 owners. I noticed that some non-samsung and non-google apps such as facebook and twitter appear in the multiwindow list. Did anyone find any other third party apps working there as well ?

drag the app to screen, the first one will take full screen but when drag (not click only, drag and drop) any other apps well split the screen.
or
press 'edit' button, the screen will split then you can select the apps.

thanks
Pull down the notification area and slide the quick buttons left should be the last one
