[Q] Explicitly execute TWauncher - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi SGS adv users!
I'm planning to replace my default home app with LauncherPro or Zeam, but I'd like to keep the option to reach the standard SGS TouchWiz Application Drawer (with positionable-apps in grids and horizontal scroll)
As any other launcher has its own drawer, I couldn't do that without a link or a shortcut icon. Otherwise I should change every time the default home, which is very uncomfortable.
Thanks

[Q] Change Wallpaper while in landscape? Launcher Pro

Hi all, I'm using Launcher Pro and for the life of me I can not figure out how to change the wallpaper while in landscape. Is it possible?
Thanks!
the same way you change it in portrait:
long press on an empty space on the homescreen or hit the menu button and press wallpaper
Err...
What I'm trying to do is to have different wallpapers in portrait and in landscape
Is it possible?
No as far as I know, there is no way to have different wallpapers for landscape and vice versa.

I haven't tried it myself (just did a quick Google search), but it looks like there's an app called "Dual Wallpaper" that allows you to do this:

How to put back Program Monitor Widget in ADW Launcher in Froyo

Guys, I cannot find and add the Program Monitor Widget in my SGS after i installed ADW launcher. Its on default screen on TW running JPK. Thanks
This is one of my main issues since I wanted to change launchers.
Can anyone help?
The Program Monitor Widget (Samsung Task Manager) is disabled by default for most add on Home Launchers. This is because they show up in the list of running programs. If you then end the Launcher you wont have access to any screens without a restart.
You can open Samsung Task Manager from the App Drawer.

Thank you very much for your explanation.
I now understand why it is missing from the launchers.
Still, is there any other widget that can do the same? show the active apps?

Cannot add icons after Auto Nooter?

So I have rooted and autonootererered. I have Zeam launcher up and running. No issues.
However, when I long press and try to add a shortcut, it just jumps back to the screen. Nothing happens. I can however add icons to desktop through app list by long pressing.
Also, I would much prefer Launcher Pro as I already paid for it for my EVO. However, I cannot seem to change the icons (phone icon, etc) Want to use it for widget purposes, but dont want inactive icons such as phone and contacts sitting on the dock...
Is there a workaround for this?
These are known issues. There are multiple options that can be found by searching the forum.
1. open the app drawer press and hold on the app you want an icon on the homescreen. you will be able to drag it to the homescreen
2. edit your launcher pro settings on your phone, back up and restore on your nook. (search the forum, i think someone has a blank backup or something.

A few questions

Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks
I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.
There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.

Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)
The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.
That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.
As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.
Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.

Alternative Launcher problem - no weather animations

Hi !
So, I decided to switch to another launcher on my Idol 4. I have chosen Evie Launcher, it's really OK for me. But .....
On the stock launcher, when I pressed the BOOM key, I got those fantastic weather animations. After launcher change they are not working anymore.
Is there maybe any method/trick/magic spell that I could use to get them back, but using different launcher than the stock one ?
Or maybe there is some method how to make the stock launcher icons just smaller, as this was main reason for me to switch to another one ? (Evie allows to set smaller icons so more information fits the home screen...)
