Install nova launcher, add the widget activities and scroll down to system ui. Its pretty neat
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
This is actually the Jelly Bean easter egg, although I didn't know that you could create a shortcut to it. If you go to Settings -> About Tablet, and then keep tapping the Android Version, you'll end up with a big jelly bean, and if you hold your finger on it, you'll end up in this bean bag.

Anyone got any ideas where to start looking at how the App drawer is sorted now we have root?
The only thing I hate about this phone, is the way it arranges the Apps, with system ones at the front and downloaded ones after.
I want them all alphabetical, but I don't want to spend ages moving them by hand...
I just switched to Apex launcher. Now with root, it can also move widgts from the drawer, and it sorts alphabetically by default. Don't know if this can also be achieved with the stock launcher, but i don't see that much advantages in stock either.
Yeah I would switch to nova launcher, but I want the weather widget

OK, that's a point... dind't notice that because i was using Beautiful Widgets all the time.
I hate that every time I open the drawer it says Loading.... freaking annoying for a quad core phone to have to do that

Yeah the Launcher from LG is crap. Just install the Jellybean Launcher from the market it rocks and its so much faster.
I really like the LG Launcher, for everything BUT the app sorting.
Does anyone know how I can remove the shadow behind the application icons?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It depends on your launcher I think. With that said, not many launcher has the shadow effect as an option. Launcher 7 doesn't have shadow if I remember correctly, but that's a bit extreme.
I flashed the Beta 6 by elitemovil.
It is a stock rom port of the nexus.
So i think i have to install an other launcher. But THX for your fast answer. :thumbup:

ADWLauncher or AWDLauncherEx looks like stock in and out with a bunch of awesome features and you can make tabs in the app drawer
Yeah, I use adw ex, its really good, and has tabs, don't know if the free version does also, but is well worth the small price.

AW: Launcher help?
Nova can create folders in the app drawer but apex can create custom tabs. So I recommend you apex launcher.

Nova Prime does both tabs and folders. It's my go to launcher these days. I formerly used GOex, it's the best free option for folder function. Apex is also very good.

Go is too much of a RAM hog.

Totally. Go uses a ridiculous amount of system resources.
I like ADW because its not a system hog, has loads of neat effects, has the tabs in app drawer, let's you change the size of dock icons and app drawer icons. I see it as what the stock launcher should have been.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I've used both Nova and Apex, and stuck with Apex. Just personal preference as they both work well, and you can keep the stock look with a lot of great customizations in functionality.

I guess it is, but I used it for nearly two years without any issue and really loved all the supporting apps. That said, I haven't seen a bad recommendation here yet. I've used most launchers going back to the G1 and pretty much each of those mentioned thus far has been great to use. Comes down to personal preferences like most things Android.

I've just discovered Nemus Launcher and I guess it will replace Go on my devices!

you could use nova launcher, it has settings for how many columns and rows you want
I tried nova but it couldn't make folders. I wanted 5 icons across.

should be able to make folders just by dragging an app on top of another app. should also be able to configure it to have 5 icons across under desktop > desktop grid
I'll give it another try. .thanks.

NOVA is the bomb. Thats one of the first things I install when I get a new phone. That along with WidgetLocker, which is buggy on the Note 3 unfortunately.
But yeah, you can set up the home screens however you want with Nova.

Check the T-Mobile side:
[MOD] SecLauncher Modifications | For Galaxy Note 3
I copied over the 5x5 version and it works well, aside from the Touchwiz widgets. Backup the original version and the odex file, then remove both and copy over the new version, then set permissions (644). You may want to set another launcher as the default beforehand in case anything goes wrong.

Too big.
I have someone working on one for me. 5x6 homescreen with a 6x6 app drawer.
I just don't know how to set up the dip values in dimens.xml in for the note 3 (I'm not a developer or anything)
This is for the note 2 but could be used as good reference I guess.

the apk you need to decompile is Seclauncher4.
Yes and yes. On a side note, I actually switched launchers to Nova launcher. Personally I'm not missing anything from the touchwiz launcher.
