I was wondering what other launchers there were out there that can sort the app drawer by install date (descending, system apps first) other than apex. Ive used apex for a while now and switched the holo launcher HD because I noticed it was much smoother and snappier. The only thing I dislike about holo launcher is no option to sort app drawer (other than alpha asc). I've been searching around Google but I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I noticed trebuchet (packaged with cm10) will sort by install date descending but when I backed it up via tb and tried it on my ROM (aokp) it would only sort by install date ascending (putting system apps last). Anyone know why this is?

And are there any other launchers that are small, light, and fast like holo launcher that will sort drawer by install date descending?

Edit: I know this sounds picky but the aosp based ROMs are becoming extremely smooth and I'd like to actually have a launcher that takes advantage of it.

there is no known launcher to this day exept from apex and go that can sort the app drawer by date. i'm guessing holo or nova might be the first ones apart from apex and go to introduce it. i would suggest checking out holo regularly because its great and it's fast as crap too
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasir.t.mohmand:
Dear All,

I just came to notice that the serial number in the battery compartment of my SGS3 (GT-I9300) is different from that of the Settings>About Device>Status>Serial number. How come? Also when I tried to enter the serial number taken from Settings >About Device>Status>Serial number and typed it into firmware upgrade and initialization of Kies, it works, but when I input the one from the battery compartment of my SGS3, it says "Please check the serial number and enter it again". My first guess is that somehow the mobile I have is some kind of cheat or something (I bought it in China but is not for the Chinese market, it is kind of smuggled to China). May be the chinese just paste the sticker in the battery compartment or whatever. Any thoughts on it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
If your phone was branded by any carrier than it could have two different serial numbers. One encoded in efs partition (showed in about phone status menu) and it has 11 chars. Second one is Samsung's device factory service number and it has 16 chars (hex format).

Both are correct. First is used to initialize your phone as you said. You can also register your phone in Samsung service center with this one.

If you like you can use some tools (Network Signal Info or similar) which will show you the second one which should be the same as number under battery.

Don't worry. I suppose that serial number changing is hard to do operation. All you need is correct IMEI number which should be the same as this on phone's box.

I have a very similar issue. I am with T-Mobile USA, so I have a slightly different variant of the SGS3. I am running a custom ROM. Now when I flash a factory stock ROM, my serial Number matches that which is under my battery. When I flash cyanogen mod 10 based Roms it changes. The factory Stock Is 11 digits and the new one is only 8 digits. I guess my question is why are my numbers 8 and 11 digits? Is the because of my carrier?

[HTC Wildfire S] 99Aaron99:
If you download a custom launcher from the market you can change the names to whatever you like. GO Launcher EX will allow you to change the names however due to GO Launcher being a RAM hog your phones performance will slip a little. I'm unsure if other less-RAMhogging launchers will let you do that but you can look on the market.
[HTC Wildfire S] GUImess:
Does that work in the app drawer? I only ask cause I'm using sense.
[HTC Wildfire S] 99Aaron99:
Yes. It's been a while since I used GO Launcher so I've forgotten how you get the menu up to change it, but it definitely works.

Hi there,am running BEASTSense ROM on HTC Hero. When am trying download from the market it doesn't download. It says your app will be download and that's it. Does anybody knows the answer of that annoying thing ? Reflash the rom doesn't help.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijnvy:
It sounds like you are trying to download the app from the Play Store Webpage..

If that is the case, then after a new flash you need to download at least one app through the market on your phone in order to "link" your phone and the play store account, after which you can close and reopen the play store twice in order for the app to update itself to the latest version.

when it reopens as Play Store and you agree the terms and conditions, it should then work online on the webpage .. or try download another app to link it and try again

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijnvy:
Have you tried to wipe market data and cache in Manage Applications. You could try to flash or push an updated market App to replace your current app if you feel the app is broken.. Paraphrasing Icebox from his thread..

You will need to find the market apk you want to push (i guess that's from Froyo version) and copy/paste it into /system/app by using a file manager that has root access - Es File Explorer is great for this but you'll need to grant root access from Settings (Es File Explorer settings that is) and then perform the copy/paste action in /system/app.

The market is named Vending.apk and the one you'll copy should need to have the same name.. ..

Good luck, or try a different Rom.. etc

You may have a null imei in your phone. You will probably have to flash back to stock and redo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Go to your about phone and see if you have an imie number there first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
My imei is there. I backed it up to the Samsung and took a backup with the synergy way. I'm charging ATM so will double check the number showing up on the about phone to the one behind the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
OK imei is good. Still matches. I have a feeling it has to do with data left on the card bug I did a factory reset and wiped cache. Then the devlech. Installed and wiped cache and devlech again. I'm stumped. Does fixing the permisions mess things up?

The only two ROMs I've used is cm10m1 and paranoid android hybrid ui.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
No fixing permissions wont mess anything up. Try reprovisioning your phone. It's a dialer code, but can't think of it at the moment I googled it. I had a data problem and that fixed me right up.

It will factory rest your phone so just a heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
I went to go re-provision and dialed *2767*3855# and nothing happened. Is this the correct method? I even hit the phone and got a msg call cannot be completed as dialect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
OK this sounds stupid. And yes I'm an idiot. I never got an activation screen on this flash. My bars are grey but they say 4g and I have mobile data. Sorry to freak out. Thought it was supposed to be blue with mobile data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
I just rebooted after installing the gapps and my bars are blue and says 4g. I swear I didn't get a successful activation this flash. I was freaking cause I started and restarted several times. Sorry everyone.

I still would like to know how to reprovision for the wiping it does. I can already see my internal SD getting cluttered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
It's all good, but that it's how you reprovision. It should have done it a soon add you entered the last #. But maybe it only works on stock based. I thought it worked in them all though.

[Acer Iconia A500] bobiscool07:
Short Story: I need a very Stable & Capable ICS or JB ROM

Long Story: I have yet to flash my first custom ROM on the Acer a500. I updated to the official ICS then rooted and installed a custom recovery. The problem is that there are so many bugs in the stock ROM that get quite annoying. i.e. the screen flickers from time to time in apps, and the tablet has to be restarted. To fix them, I'd have to do a factory reset, but if Im going to lose my data, might as well Flash a new ROM.

I need it to be able to run the top games like Nova 3 Gta 3 Modern Combat 3, Shadow-Gun etc. as well as be able to run Office Applications. I understand you guys can't guarantee that they will work, but please let me know which ROM you found capable of running most apps smoothly. I use this tablet for work and entertainment, thus stability is important.

Thanks. :laugh::good:
[Acer Iconia A500] meduza:
Look in my signature, there is the most stable JB ROM but it is stll in testing!

The best ICS ROM is here:

MOD EDIT: Link Removed. Providing direct links to roms containing non-GPL kernels are against XDA rules.

In that forum you will find also Civato`s ICS ROM, it is also to find here on xda:)

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Just some info;

Posting links to roms containing non-GPL kernels are prohibited as per XDA rules. This is something most people know about already.

XDA has stable roms. However, if one chooses to install a non-hosted rom, one can't expect much support in the forums. Support would be better served at the authors site.

Cheers.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
First off, I would suggest installing the Unlocked V8 bootloader along with the most recent Recovery. This makes it easier for a lot of things.

Civato's ICS roms seem to be the most popular as far as ICS for the A500.

Waydownsouth's CM10 also seems to be okay as well, but is still inwork as with most CM10 roms.

Both roms will use the Godwarrior OC/UV kernel, so if you need more framerate, it's there.

Also, you can flash one of the stock rooted/deodexed versions and OC/UV kernel.

EZTerry also has an OC/UV kernel as well which runs good.

It all boils down to how the rom runs on "your" tablet. Contrary to popular belief, not all A500's are created equal. Some have different revision hardware.

My advice is to try a couple. See how they run.

@moscow desire,

" XDA has stable roms. However, if one chooses to install a non-hosted rom, one can't expect much support in the forums. Support would be better served at the authors site. "

So why do you think, I posted the link from the authors side??

Definitely not to make you angry!

Diversity can only exist if you don't use only one information source!! Diversity and variety are necessery for free decelopment... .

m.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
It's OK Mate. Sent you a PM.

The problem with doing support with a "non-hosted" rom, is that, due to the fact Thor uses non-GPL kernels, And some other encrypted things, a lot of people are unfamiliar with what issue it's been known to cause. Whereas most users here, use what XDA hosts, or they compile from GPL and Apache sources. Especially when it comes to kernels.

Which is why, if you run Thors rom, you will get better support at Thors site. Plain and simple. It's not that some people here will not try and help. I've done it myself, and quite successful depending on the issue. It's just that his roms are a bit different.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdelponte:
THE FIX IS BELOW (it's the quote)

My description of my problem is below but, first off I want to say that I have made several searches on google, androidcentral, and xda about this issue and have found no solution. I have also attempted to trouble shoot the problem myself by fixing permissions, wipes, flashing backups, deleting really old backups, etc. I even purchased SD Maid Premium and deleted duplicates and ran the appcleaner.

I am running CM10. I use Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery Mod to backup my system and apps regularly. I was running CM10 with KT Kernel (and used KTweeker to undervolt my processor) but recently flashed a new CM10 nightly (with a fully factory data, cache, and davilk cache wipe) and kept the "baked-in" Cyanogen Kernel.

I got a notification that my internal storage was close to full (this happened right after making a backup using CWM, I was running CM10 and KT kernel at the time and had 4 additional older nandroid backups). So I went through my apps, pictures, videos, old backups etc and deleted a bunch of stuff. But I still had the storage full notification. I then wiped data, cache, and davilk cache, and flashed the latest CM10 d2att nightly and gapps4.1. Before installing any apps I went to check my storage in Storage Settings, Apps Settings, and SD Maid . In App Settings and SD Maid it showed 7.5gb used and 4.5gb free, but in Storage Settings it showed 0.4gb used and 11.6gb free. (In my research I found that this may be because my ROM (CM10) is odexed). I have done some exploring using Root Explorer and found that my /data file is 7.5gb, i have a file /storeage/sdcard0 that is also 7.5gb and a /storage/sdcard1 that is 2.3gb.

I have come to the point where I just want to fully wipe my phone and start over; i think it is called a hard reset. It would be more than a Factory Data Wipe, which I have done several times in Clockwork Recovery Mod and it always leaves behind 7.5gb of data in my storage. I dont mind loosing all my data, media, etc. It would be nice if there was a solution that did not require a "hard reset" but I am willing to do it if that is my only option. I am familiar with download mode and odin in case that needed for the hard reset.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

It's an issue between our GSIII and rom manager, go to settings, then storage, then miscellaneous, wait for it to load, select rom manager, hit the delete key. This will not un install the program it will however delete your nandroids backups.

From now on only make your nandroids while in recovery and always choose ext-sd for output.

You're on cyanogenmod 10 right.

0 is the phones internal storage and 1 is the ext-sd

Btw why are you should probably ditch rom manager in favor of rom toolbox pro-if you do you'll get rid of those pesky blob files

I love rom manager for its ease of use but had to ditch it because it's blobs take up so much space on my gs3, at least until they update it to allow backups to be sent to the ext-sd. again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdelponte:
Fixed.

First I took all my media and files I wanted to save and transferred them over to my external sd card. Then I downloaded the zip files for the latest CM10(any rom will do) , gapps, and ktoonz kernel and transferred those over to my external sd card.

Then I rebooted into recovery. I went to mounts and storage and formated /system /data /cache and /sdcard

After that I flashed the zip files I downloaded earlier from my external sd card.

Rebooted and took this screen shot.

Copy what you want to keep from internal sd to external sd

Get zip of your current rom and copy to external sd

Nandroid to external sd

Remove external sd from phone

Boot into recovery

Wipe everything, data, cache, dalvik 3x for good measure

Insert external sd

Reboot recovery (ignore no OS warning)

Flash rom (creates a clean file system and installs rom)

Reboot into rom and let it load

Reboot into recovery

Factory wipe, cache, dalvik

Restore your Nandroid backup

Reboot

I can confirm that the TF700 will fit into the keyboard dock with a Zagg screen protector and a Skinomi decal applied. The decal got a small tear in it but I did NOT have to FORCE the tablet into the dock (it's covered up when the dock is attached anyway). I think it just found a weak spot in my decal. You will notice that after having it shut for a while, the screen protector will have imprints of the grooves in the decal. Not a huge deal. Those are the only 2 things I experienced when docking with these applied. Hope this helps whoever is looking for this answer.
