Hey guys!
I'm using a german tabpro 8.4 and i'm a little bit disappointed but thats not the point.
Is it possible to disable the magazine function in tw launcher like on galaxy s5?
I tried the tw launcher from new tab s, which works without problems. Its now possible for me to hide apps in app drawer
Yeah i know there tons of different launchers out there but thats not what i'm looking for...
thx in advance
Es tut mir leid. I know you don't want to hear about launchers, but I used the plain "Google Now Launcher" from the Playstore to specifically get that Magazine UX off the Tab Pro 8.4 Homescreen. At least its a more naked Android experience. I just didn't install Google Now, so Google Now doesn't open on the Homescreen like Magazine UX did. Also, if you have apps moved to the SD card, reviewers say that sometimes their Homescreen shortcuts rearrange/disappear upon reboot. I have no apps on SD card so I don't know if its true.

Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the homescreen has 4x4 icons only!!!?? What they thinking !!?? On such a large screen a 4x4 icon only!!!??
I know you can add another launcher, but then you loose functionality like pop-up notes when you pull out the pen, probably multi-screen too etc.
This really SUCKS!!
Is there some Touchwiz setting for this?//
Well i can say multiscreen works perfectly with the Nova launcher, i've had that launcher on the Note 2 since i bought it, and it runs perfectly...
Haven't noticed any problems with the pen or system using Nova, though i'll admit that it doesn't pop up with Notes when you take the pen out, not a massive compremise for having a better launcher though, haven't tried using it with ADW or any other launcher though

Thanks but don't you think this needs to be rectified by Samsung? What must have been their logic behind this ridiculous 4x4 icons on the Homescreen?
I am using the Nova launcher too. But it just bugs me that I cant use all the functionality with my phone.
There was already a topic about this subject!

The original note has 5x5... but u cant resize third party widgets so they look horrible. . So I guess 4x4 is better

Instead of complaining, have patience. These things have a way of getting fixed.

Use Nova Launcher.
Hello guys. I noticed that there is no option to hide apps in apps drawer after upgrading to kitkat. Any solution for this problem? No other launchers I just want default touchwiz. Thanks

You can probably create a folder and banish icons to it. Or see if the Galaxy Launcher on Google Play is close enough.
I found this link that will allow flashing of the GS5 Touchwiz launcher and Accuweather widget for non-TW Roms. I'm test driving now with SlimKat 4.4.3. Two things to note:
There are separate downloads on separate posts on that thread for the launcher and the weather widget.
I had to use this process to remove the error "Not installed with permissions needed for binding widgets" when trying to put the Aqua Mail counter on my home screen.
Be sure to thank the developers on those sites.
Probably goes without saying, but make sure you do a Nandroid backup before flashing. I saw where one person got stuck in bootloader after flashing.
The one issue I've found is that the menu function doesn't seem to work with this launcher -- can't change number of screens or which one is the home screen...unless I'm missing something.
There is a launcher in play store called Galaxy launcher which is basically what you are talking about. It gives you a lot of customization options and its pretty cool. I have used it for a while and I can say its pretty good.

Yeah, there are a few out there. The one drawback is that the GS5 accuweather widget linked above requires an actual Touchwiz launcher. The S5 launcher above is a little buggy. Some S4 launchers and widgets are available here. The S4 launchers will support the S5 widget.
Friend i could not put in my rom based stock 4.4.2.....you will know why
I am currently having a dilemma,
Just bought the 10.1 yesterday t520, and like the widgets, but want to have less Samsung stuff on,
wanting to install C11 on but I want to keep the stock launcher due to the widgets (magazine) etc.
is this possible and how? or am I only able to root and delete manually instead?

Search for "Galaxy Launcher", use that and CM11, it will give you the same look of the home screen.
Hi, I have a new Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4, and I would like to keep touchwiz at first. But I don't find where I could change or adding app launchers to dock. It only has the google bar and I would like to approach it a little more.
Thanks.

I don't know if I get it... You can install any launcher like Apex, Nova, Go Launcher etc. from the play store and keep your touchwiz rom.
But I'm sure that's nothing new to you...
Thanks, I usually use Nova, but with this new tablet I wanted to give an opportunity to Touchwiz.

I use Nova Launcher on a debloated touchwiz rom, too. I don't like samsung's magazine ui and touchwiz surface is not that customizable as I want it to be. Nova works also very smoothly!
Thanks, I think finally I will move to Nova. But I use this tablet mainly for work and I didn't want to modify it very much.
