You could create folders and have them at the bottom of the display...
But if what you want is more stand alone apps at the bottom check with another launcher ....

Thank you, its not what I was thinking about but its working for me in a similar way.

Don't want the hexagon style start menu! How to change this?

I know it's in the cpr files, but when i tried to change them, the start menu didn't work at all. I want 4 icons besides each other and 4 colums. It should be possible, but I don't know how.
Something like this?

Thanks, but this isn't what I'm searching for as this is a program which has to be opened each time and slows the phone. Despite this I'd like to have 4 columns, not 5.

This might be what you are looking for http://www.wmskins.com/thumbnails.php?album=35
I also would love this, will make a request over there. They don't have it exactly, just want (if I am reading the posts correctly) 4 icons across by however many down in a square grid, not honeycomb. Just looks silly esp. now don't have the honeycomb grid behind to give it structure.

Finding out the Android App processes???

Hey, I'm trying to change some icons on a theme and I need to know the android processes name for apps downloaded from the market and what not.
Where can I find that or see that??
For example, the icon name for maps is: com.google.android.apps.maps.png
I just take another icon and rename it that and bingo I have a new icon.
I was wondering if you guys could tell me where I can see the processes for all the apps I have???
I would really appreciate it!
Theming-wise I'm not sure, but maybe this will help?

Hmm, I didn't really find what I'm looking for there.
I'm not doing anything with theming really. I just want to change and add some different icons for a few apps.
I just need to know a way to find out the process name of the .png images!
*EDIT*
I got it all figured out.

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

Thanks, but then why does it have an EDIT button? Just curious.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.
Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.
Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time
If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....
install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

Customise S-Pen Folder?

This, I am *sure*, has been asked before, and answered. In fact I'm fairly sure I already know the answer, at least according to the official reviews... but then XDA people have a habit of changing the "official rules"
Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to customise the apps that appear in the pop-up folder, that comes up when you remove the s-pen from the holder.
Im pretty sure you can't, and that its mentioned as such in a review I read before buying the Note a couple days ago. (On ICS at least... I dont know if this has changed for Jellybean?)
But I figured, if anyone has found a way to change this, you guys would have!
I did try searching for the answer in the forums... but my problem was I didnt really know what that pop-up menu/folder thing is actually *called*, which made it difficult. I'm sorry if I missed something obvious!!
Thanks for any help
Should I take that as a no? Or at least a "not yet".
No, not the side folder however a lot of apps have been added to the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, in the themes section there's a thread with links to apps that have been modified to work in this.
Theres also a thread floating around that tells you how to alter an apk file to make it capable of this. The downside is that since you altered the apk file you can no longer update that particular app without then editing the files in the apk file to once again make it pop-up menu compatible...

Yeah I knew about the multiview menu alterations already, its a thread I've been following for a while. I was only asking because, after deleting pen physics, there is a gap in the pen folder I would have liked to make use of.
Too bad

If you go into Settings, and select under System, 'Pen', the last option is called 'Options after detaching pen'. You can pick one or more things to show up. Not sure if this is what you mean, but there you go...

Nah, I did know about that one. One of the options in that settings menu is "Open shortcuts toolbar". Thats the toolbar I am talking about.
Problem is, the toolbar has like 5 or 6 default apps in it.. only about 3 of them is any use. It would be nice to be able to change them to apps of my own choosing!!

Ah, ok, I know you can choose to have only a few or just one, but as far as I know you can only select or deselect the ones shown. As of right now you can't add any others. I think I read somewhere that possibly with 4.1 or 4.2 that may change. :fingers-crossed:

slide tab on app

Hi guys!
i'm not a dev, but a friend of mine is developing an android app we'll use together.. so i'm asking you guys hoping someone can help!!
we (he) has a problem implementing a gesture on our app: slide right.
i try to explain what the app should do:
in the main page the app shows a list of elements (so background with screenwide rectangular containing the elements, picture, name and small description). the idea is to slide the tab (the screenwide rectangular) right and pull it "out of the screen" just for 30% of the size.
ok ok i have to admit, i'm really really bad on explain myself
but i've found an IOS app is doing in very very smoothly, it's called Nixter (the one in the video)
my friend is saying that android don't "allow" this gesture and the only way to make it work is some workaround.. is it true?? can anyone help me (us) here?? it would be really really appreciated
i'm asking you guys because i don't want to upset my friend doubting his word..
forgot the video:

You CAN implement the same in Android too ... Android does ALLOW gestures .. I also once saw a small library that implements such a thing ... i'll update the libraries details once i remember it's name ..
