I'm searching for an option (App, Mod, deleting a file with Root Explorer, ...) to sort the apps in Touchwiz Application Drawer in grid view alphabetically.
Sort Apps on Touchwiz App Drawer alphabetically
- Thread starter Bierfreund
- Start date
just go to settings / Applications / manage installed applications (or something like this), set applications filter to "show all" and wipe application data of samsung "Home" application.. btw, doing so you'll lose all your home screen settings (widgets, shortcuts..)
I already know that, i should have mentioned that i don't want to loose my home screen settings.
I like my apps sorted alphabetically in the app launcher, but i don't want to reset my home screen settings each time i install / deinstall one or more apps.

Because its a pain in the ass when you got 50+ apps.

Any ideas which files are deleted if i delete the application data of the Home Application (as mentioned above)?
The app order ist saved in /dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/launcher.db. If you delete the file and restart the phone (i think restarting the TW UI should also be enough) the apps are sorted alphabetically but unfortunatelly it also deletes the Homescreen settings.
So it would be necessary to sort the entries in the database file, which i can't do

I have looked at the db. It should be easy to backup the favorites table (home screen) and restore. Thus a simple workaround would be:
1. Export favorites table (home screen)
2. Delete the db file
Restart system/TW
3. Import the table
Restart system/TW
Maybe someone could write an app for Android, to directly sort the apps table (all application screens). However some apps are only referenced there (for example com.aldiko.android.samsung/com.aldiko.android.samsung.ui.Bookshelf) without full names. There must be a way to find the app name and sort alphabetically. It's doable.

IIRC you go into the settings and view as a list, then you can sort alphabetically. then just change the view back to grid and it sorts it.
think thats how i used to do it. got the TouchwizGTG now so cant test my thoery.
hope this helps, Matt

Not being able to auto sort the grid view is so stupid. I just switched the list view which isn't nearly as pretty. Oh well I don't go in there often anyways but at least when I do I can find something in fairly short and predictable amount of time.
