I'm wondering if there is a way to add more home screens to the launcher2.apk with out having to use helix launcher. I do realize i will probably have to edit the apk file which im fine with if someone can point me in the correct direction on how to do that.

Launcher2 > helix Launcher
helix Launcher 2 is what your looking for..

i know there is an option in helix to to add and remove home screens but what i want to know is if there is a way to edit launcher2 to add more home screens like how kmobs edited launcher2 to make it a 5 column instead of 4

You can't just edit the APK file, you will have to modify and build from the source.
I use home++ and it works really well.
I am happy with helix launcher2 on my n1, it force closes sometimes but not with auto orientation turned off.

Helix Launcher so far for me has had 0 force closes since I completely replaced Launcher2.apk in system/app...dunno if you did this but I suggest it to anyone.

Hey guys,
A couple of questions. I have already fully rooted my Nook using z4root although I cannot find an update apk for astro. I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find one. Thanks in advanced.
Also, I am confused on how to enable multitouch if someone can clear that up too.
The Astro apk is attached
Go http://www.nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor for all your nooks rooting need, including how to enable multitouch.
Also, I am having trouble with launcher pro. I cannot change any of the dock applications. Any thoughts?
You can't change the dock icons in Launcher Pro, that's why I use Zeam instead.
The only thing with Zeam is that the "home" icon is not centered. But at least you can change the dock icons and add shortcuts and widgets to your screens.

You can move the home icon and change the order of the apps by long pressing on them.

Not meaning to hijack this thread but does anyone know where I could download Zeam that is not the android market? My market app is not working correct for now for some reason.

is there any home screen apps that make unlimited continuous scrolling?
I am not clear on what you are asking, but I think the newest LauncherPro (0.8.6) has homescreen looping.
If you mean continuous cycling between home screens from start to finsh then try GO Launcher or ADW.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
yup, i meant continous looping left and right, usually when you hit far left/right, you have to reverse. Im using ADW launcher, dont have it, maybe it is older version..
And any similar apps can let you see all the home screen in 1 continuing piece?
now each home screen has its own section, and stop at predefined space.
Which means i want to see all desktop linked in 1 piece and continuously left/right. that would be cool.
thanks.

The first guy to answer is correct, the latest LauncherPro does what you are asking for.
Launcher Pro - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher
just added this feature in one of the recent updates and can have different transition effects too.
Continuous Looping 1-2-3-1-2-3-ect.-ect. (or rev.)
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Homescreen Looping>REAL
Effects while switching screens; Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effects
the latest adwlauncher ex has this feature
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher&feature=search_result
ADW EX would be the first, every other launcher just kanged it.

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob
To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience
if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Launcher pro + customer launcher icons.

Excellent. Gives the phone a new look at any time.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.
Sup everyone? Is there a way to get the wallpaper to scroll across the different home screens? Is a mod needed? I used a 3rd party launcher (ApexPro) and it doesn't scroll either. All my HD wallpapers are cropped into tiny columns
atm i don't see any mod about this.
However, you can use another launcher like nova if you want this

If you have Xposed, you can use XGels to accomplish that.

I dont want root the phone.. buy may be is the only way
You can try downloading Nova Launcher from the play store (or another launcher if you prefer, but Nova is often regarded as the best). It's not the stock launcher but it is very feature rich and runs like a charm. The only thing you'd be missing from the stock launcher is swiping left to Google Now, but there's a million and a half other ways to use a shortcut for Google Now. I personally don't miss it much.
Anyway, now that I've gone off on a tangent, yeah Nova Launcher let's you customize the grid layout of your home screen. I use 5 columns (like the 6P) and it really is great.
As the rest mentioned your only two possibilities are to root your phone and install xposed then use something like XGels or GravityBox or Install a custom launcher. Your best bet for custom launcher would have to be Nova Launcher as it's the closest to stock. You can even set up vertical scrolling. I'm rooted and my launcher of choice is Nova Launcher. Trust me Google Now is not as good as you might think.

Did you update the Google launcher? I seem to have it, not sure if its a feature of the ROM I am on or not which is why I am asking if you updated your Google launcher app.
yes, i have the last version, but no 5 icons in a row...
nice clock/weather widget, what is it?

I even changed roms, and I still have 5 icon rows...so I guess it could be the rom
Go Weather Ex, I am not a fan of them usually (due to their ads) but I couldn't pass it up...and its free.
I use Apex Launcher and can customize it many different ways.

What number are you on? I'm on 560 DPI
Not sure how many places i've answered this question, but anyway...
- Remove LauncherConfig, which is locking rows to 4 icons from /system/app
- Reboot
- Wipe data on Google App
- Go to home screen
- You now have 5 icons per row
No need to use another launcher or Xposed apps or DPI changes if you're rooted and want to use GNL with 5 icon rows, as it should be.
It's incredibly dumb how Motorola is setting Google's launcher up that way with a phone that has a large display.
This works on Marshmallow too.
Thanks. This worked with out an issue.
Omg have hey still not changed this by default yet ?

You rock. This info should be in the FAQs at the top.
CAVEAT to the rest: This will reset all your screens to the default. Now's your chance to clean up all those friggin icons all over the place.

I checked on system/app but I don't see launcherconfig. Is it inside of a folder? I'm using root explorer
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you're rooted, why not just use this command in terminal?
pm disable com.motorola.launcherconfig
I haven't used it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Also avoids any modification to system partition.
