I've rooted, thanks to Chainfire!!!, and I would love to get rid of the "Magazine" home screen, but going through Titanium Backup, I found it and froze Magazine Widget 1.0, My Magazine 2.0.0 & My Magazine Here and Now but it's still there. Any ideas?
Thanks a million,
Shon
You need to use a different launcher.
Errr finally able to post here lol kept force closing.
Thats what I was going to say was get different launcher like Nova from play store.

Thanks, very much. I figured that this was the ultimate possibility, but was hoping for a way to rid it internally. Launcher, here I come!
You can always try Google Now Launcher like the nexus devices..

Ok, I have scoured many sites (including this one) and have found no solid answer
so, can someone please tell me, does the home screen on the ET4G rotate?
I understand that it doesn't need to rotate, but I don't get why it wouldn't
everything else rotates on the phone except the home screen. I don't like that
gotta use a launcher like go or adw or launcher pro
FINALLY! someone replies
thanks so much
Yep rotates with go launcher for sure

just wondering, how do I access my apps in GO launcher? :/
So one thing thats kept me from really using ICS daily is the fact that I can't restore Launcher pro from titanium backup. It just says restoring and nothing every happens and I have to kill TB. I've had this across any version of ICS that I try. I can download it and re setup my home screens but thats annoying. If I install from market and do a restore from inside launcher pro it will work, but if I reboot then it goes back to default launcher pro. Any ideas?

Being a long time launcher pro fan I was pissed when I realized I could not get launcher pro to work correctly on ics. I bounced between nova and apex for a while before landing on nova prime. I have been happy with it. Might wanna give it a spin.

I think the problem with laucherpro and ICS is the LP Widgets. To get around this I've started using the "Android Pro Widgets" available in the play store with the "Modern ICS APW theme" which are just as good if not better than the LP Widgets.
edit: I forgot to actually state that I am using LauncherPro on ICS and had the same trouble. Just restore the app without the data and it should work fine. Take my advice above if you need the LP style widgets
I'm still waiting note 2 to arrive to Turkey. I'd like to ask has anyone tried GN2 with other launchers like nova or apex. If than, what do u lose?
I think it's hard to pull down notification bar one handedly and gestures included in nova and apex are helpful in this situation.
I think you lose PageBuddy, which is helpful when you pull out the Spen.

I think you got me wrong; I'm talking about pulling down the notification bar with your thumb of right hand when holding phone in your right hand.
In nova you have gestures, swiping down anywhere on the screen is enough.
I use Go Launcher and it runs extremely well. No problems found. Gesture support is included so pulling the notification bar down with a gesture is very useful on this big screen.
I tried Nova but 'Go' is better as it has a lot of extra 'bolt on' apps.

Hi...I am also using go launcher..everything is working fine except for 1 thing. With go launcher, when I remove the s pen it dosent pop up the s note page automatically. When I go back to touchwiz this feature works fine. Does this happen on your device too?

I just tried it and can confirm the pop up S-Note does appear without any issue on Go Launcher, when the pen is removed.
I take it you've enabled this feature in the S-Pen settings?

My apologies...what i really meant was the page buddy feature was not available when extracting the s-pen with go launcher..the pop up s note works fine when selected in the s pen settings on either launcher.
Thanks.
I was asking the question (on another forum) about "what we loose" if we use another launcher.
So you can confirm everything works ? (except Samsung widgets I imagine)
What about default gestures like Covering the screen, sweeping for a screenshot, shaking for updates, moving the hand over the GN II to wake up
Anyone else having the "shadow bug" on Apex? How can it be fixed please?

Do you know what bothers me on Go launcher Ex? Indeed, it IS the best launcher I´ve seen so far as well, but what still makes me using another launcher (Nova) is the App Drawer. It doesn´t matter which theme I´ve tested...the drawer always looks cheap or is lagging on Go launcher Ex.

The gestures all work including those you mentioned and split screen, so do all features with the S-Pen. Anything that's a Touch Wiz feature such as Samsung Widgets, Page Buddy don't. There's little that don't and you get more pros than cons using another launcher.

Salut!
Yes I had the problem using APEX either on stock or omega 3 ROM. Was very obvious with transparent widget i.e. APW and very annoying.
There is a fix for the S3 saw that from another thread were a member stated that fix should work for our NOTE 2.
So I gave it a try...
The fix is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894633
Somehow using CWM and that s3 fix ZIP did not work for me. So I used root explorer extracted the libhwui.so renamed the original one in /system/lib and copied the extracted one
And voila indeed fixed after rebooting
There might be some side effect i.e.: in EMAIL when scrolling there can be flickering flashing on some mail with HTML/images but it seems only if DEVELOPER option force GPU rendering is checked...I'm not 100% sure on that one but noticed it on some mail
So I confirm the statement of the XDA member the S3 FIX is functional on the NOTE 2 but possibly with some side effects....
Cheers
Jean-Marc
Hmm I'd better stay away from side effects and wait to see how it goes with a later fix maybe
Using Nova Prime. Good.

Hello All....I cannot get any of my Page Buddys to come up. For example, the S Pen Page Buddy does not come on when I remove the S Pen, and the Earphones Page Buddy does not display when I plug headphones in.
I went to Settings - Display - Page buddy, and I ensured it was turned on and checkmarked, yet nothing happens when I plug in head phones or remove the S Pen. Has anyone seen this happen before?
I'm running the stock unrooted ATT android version 4.1.2. Everything else is working perfect on this phone.
Thanks for any help and advice.

Not making any assumptions here, are you using Touchwiz, or have you installed a 3rd party launcher like nova or apex?

I need to find a way to undo my page buddy because it launches a default player now that I no longer want to use. I can't get it turned off.

Next launcher
TSF Shell launcher
Tried both of those and went back to Go Launcher...
Next Launcher is still too BETA to me and lacking a lot of stuff that Go has, you'd think they'd combined the two... Hopefully they do eventually.
Tried TSF Once and it felt too much like SPB with SPB Features taken outta it.

Go Launcher to me IDK Seems like it isn't meant for ICS or JB.

LoL! The only reasons I drew back away from them was cause of the lack of a better app drawer. I'm stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place! Grrr
I liked that they had the widgets panel on the app draw but they didn't have the recent apps and running apps panel like Go does.
Same could be said said for ADW.

On a side note Go's Next Launcher 3D is looking a lil better since I last used it. I could prolly see paying that much for it, only thing I dislike is that stupid ugly OS X looking dock bar, if they had a way to rid of that then I'd pay for it most certainly. Still a lil room left for improvement, also I WISHED They'd incorporate Go Launcher Widgets into Next Launcher. Those are still my only 2 draw backs about it.
try holo launcher
try adw ex. Using with JB 4.1.2 now
hahahh. You will see all suggestions from all launchers in the market
ADW Ex and Holo have the unorganized app drawer, where gotta create ya own individual labels and how would have a go about creating labels/tabs for "running" and "recent" if it was possible?
^---I sent this with my voice and TouchPal from my Samsung Note 2 i317 using Tapatalk 2
Went ahead and bought neXt Launcher 3D.
I'll prolly keep it installed in the background, so I can keep updated on it. But it's still not worth 16 bucks IMO.
They've still gotta long ways to go with it.
Hey n1nj4Lo, Leland from the Atom Launcher team here. How did you like Atom?
We are aiming to get absolute cutting-edge-screaming speed out of the launcher while keeping the customization and easy theming/usability. Would love your feedback and comments here and on our Facebook community (Atom Launcher search should bring you there - I cannot post a link as a new user).
Try NoLauncher.

Well the only thing that bugged me was I couldn't find a way to change the Atom Bar (I think it's called) font color, maybe I'm missing an option somewhere IDK but I think thats really important to me due to wallpapers. Everything else was really nice and I liked the App Drawer second to Go Launchers, it was very customizable and organized, didn't really have any other problems with the whole launcher itself. If I didn't use Go Launcher a lot I could see substituting this for it.
Ohh and in Transition effect if ya added a random or shuffled option of all transitions.

Found Atom launcher because of this thread. Been using it ever since. Great on ram and battery. Very smooth, never had lag or stutter. Options are good, would love to see more added. Overall the best I've used so far. Love how it is still simple yet has all the things I need, along side good speed.
