Can someone write simple app to just go to default home screen, not just home.
Or to go home two times when activated?

If you use launcher pro you can resize it. Just long press on the widget and drag it to resize

Panoramic Wallpaper

-Is there a way to get panoramic wallpaper on the home screen like how the Galaxy S II has it?
-Also, how do I delete pages on my home screen?
You have to use a different launcher other then sense launcher is the only way for scrolling wallpaper

Is it possible to swap home launchers in a rom?

I have the speedrom version 6.0 and it uses trebuchet as the default launcher. I like apex launcher better and was wondering can I push the apex launcher apk to system/apps and delete the trebuchet apk, restart my phone and have Apex as the default launcher? Thank you in advance to anyone for their help.

Of course you can, go to play store and download apex, when finished, press home, and you will be able to select between apex and trebuchet, select set as default, and select apex and done, apex is your default launcher. No need to delete trebuchet though

Btw, apex has a feature that even if its not installed to system/app, it will allow you to select widgets from the app drawer

I always use root explorer to push nova launcher and its paid version unlock key to /system/app and change permissions. Then I reboot and delete previous launcher
I prefer nova over apex... just my opinion

You can use any launcher, not just the ones mentioned.

Alternatives to stock launcher or stock apps?

Hi...just interested to know if people are using any alternative launchers or alternative apps such as the messaging app as opposed to the stock stuff and WHY?
Sent from my U8815 using Tapatalk 2
I use QuickPic instead of Gallery. Because you can hide folders and you don't get the network folders showing up.

Nova launcher is the best launcher for me

Is that the paid version as i miss vertical grid scrolling option?
What about messaging apps...don't think the stock app offers privacy mode!

I switch from back and forth from stock to the Xperia s launcher. It runs smooth on this phone and looks great too.

Launcher app

Hey, I was wondering how do you add apps to the launcher at the bottom by the app drawer buttons the home screen? I took out messaging and internet by accident and now I don't know how to add it back, thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just drop and drop when you are in home screen, so make sure the apps are on current home screen (I'm pretty sure I don't use TW launcher)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
If you are still using the stock launcher, I would highly recommend to change it. You won't have to root just download it of the market. Best launcher for SIII is Nova. Try it, it will let you have 6 icons vertically on the screen and so much more.
Good luck
