[Q] Any other launcher that allows dot-press to apps page?

I was wondering if there was a launcher out there that does the same thing that TWL does where you can bring up your apps, then just press one of the overhead dots to quickly go to that particular page (column) of apps? I was told that LP doesn't have the functionality, & I played with ADW today for a bit, but couldn't find a setting...
Bottom line: me no likey da scroll-y.

If you install SGS Tools there are different variations of Touchwiz. Just go to upgrade stock apps and then upgrade tw launcher.

Yeah, I've already got the updated version installed; was just wondering if there was another launcher out there w/the same functionality. le sigh.

EDIT: Do you want that feature in the app drawer?

If by "app drawer," you mean the screens/columns that you see when you hit the button to bring you to all of your apps, then yes. I'm referring to the dots @ the top of this image:
{
"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"
}
But you aren't the first person to suggest Zeam. Maybe I'll see if that's got what I'm looking for today...
*Edit - tried Zeam, & unless I missed it, it doesn't have it, either.

[DEV]Sense 2.1 possible notifications menu modification.(seeking help)

Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away
{
"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"
}
The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
Any one interested?
also My current method an apk that opens and closes each app seems to cause issues (obviously) so I'm seeking help in doing the proper system edit to get this Modification up and running.

Different Contact Shortcut Icons??

Alright, I've changed this before but I just can't remember how...
I have a page that is full of contacts that I access most often. I just recently changed the picture of a contact and, in order to update the pic on the contact shortcut that I made, I had to erase the old shortcut and add a new one after updating the contact pic. When I did this, however, it added a different type of contact icon than what I have set as all the others.
Here's a pic:
{
"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"
}
As you can see, the contact icon in the top middle is completely different than the rest. They used to all pop up like that but I've been able to change it in the past.
I'm running CM7 with Luncher Pro if that helps. I just want all the icons to look the same and I don't like the style that has popped up on there (I believe it's the default Android icon).
Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I'd also like to note that nothing else on my phone has changed since updating to CM7 several months ago and adding Launcher Pro....I was able to create all of the other contact shortcut icons with exactly the same phone setup as I still have.

Any help with my emoji issue would be greatly appreciated

I have a Note 3 running rooted stock 4.4.2 and my emojis are all jacked up. Some of them show as black and white (see screenshot 1); the ones with different skin tones show up as if they are two separate emojis (which is pretty mind-boggling, see screenshot 2). I've tried the Emoji Switcher app, I've tried manually replacing AndroidEmoji.ttf, SamsungEmoji.tff, and NotoColorEmoji.ttf, all to no avail.
It seems to be trying to load emojis from another source (like the main font, maybe) but I don't really understand how that is possible. I've tried to research but all I can dig up is 'Use the Emoji Switcher app' which isn't helpful in my situation. That app will change some of the stock emojis but it doesn't touch any of the newer emojis.
I do know that Samsung devices like mine basically run with two separate fonts in parallel (the font in the system folder, and the one installed by APK) which I've always thought is really stupid. I dunno if maybe that's contributing to the problem, as I use Noto Serif as my font in the settings, but FreeFont in the system folder (so IPA, other alphabets, etc. will render properly).
So I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same phone. G998B. No way to see hidden settings. I only see the following.
Spoiler: Screen shot

Works for me SM-G998B Gallary 12.1.07.5

It works on my SM-G9960.
I also found out the same developer's options are present in the Bixby app, you can enable it the same way by quickly tapping the version number. There's only one setting you can enable, which requires to register in Developer's program, and it also asks for "Revision ID". I entered some random number and it worked.

If you'd like to try it out, enabling it is rather simple: Head over to settings within the Gallery app and open About Gallery. Now repeatedly tap on the version number until you see a toast that reads [Labs] Gallery labs is enabled. You'll now find the now-not-so-secret menu in the app's settings menu
