Extended desktop - Moto X Q&A

So I was just wondering if there was any way to get extended desktop without rooting... I know I can get the pie controls which I live using with the extended desktop... Also has anybody found a way to delete some unused pages on your desktop.... I don't use all five I'm actually just using three... It's no big deal I was just wondering if I'm missing something... Thanks

I'm going to have to look into it... It's a launcher right? I never used a launcher like that... Would it slow down the phone?

Yes, it's a launcher. No, it won't slow down your phone.

Just downloaded and ran it, I really like it so far too it's awesome that recent apps works and when you disable softkeys it's a nice look although the screen seems a little small

Wow there, I'm not that good, I'm still a beginner, and plus the building from source didn't go well, so I'm gonna ask Apant for more help.
A fully working Miui Gingerbread would be cool.
Toasted marshmallow ROM would be nice
You could always try a Sense rom. LOL.

All the devs did, but weren't successful because of compatibility issues with the hardware. :L
I know, I saw that too. That's why I laughed. I agree with a fully working g GB Miui.

Lol great minds think alike. some features like tilt scrolling, floating windows or maybe a spit screen browser, and the video player like in cams last rootbox build, add a playstore opion on the launcher, add the new s-voice, leave Google search optional and not an system app since I find useless via bluetooth at the moment does the same thing as voice dialer, an alarm clock widget, and that cell broadcast feature. would be awsome.

I heard liquidsmooth is really good and with a matr1x kernel it is amazing. I've also heard (if you want kernel suggestions) that franco kernels are legit.
Yea but franco doesn't make kernels for this phone

Android 4.4 launcher DPI

Anyone find a way to change the dpi of Google's new 4.4 kit kat launcher?
I tried changing the dpi of the launcher's app with no success. Also trying to change the dpi of the app drawer.
I was able to change novas dpi easily but this new launcher isn't quite as easy to change.

I'm interested in this as well now that I have a stable 4.4 running on my N4 but I suppose we should be patient. I know the crew at PA are working feverishly...
Pretty easy actually. First download app settings for xposed, then scroll down to google search and click dpi, then change to what you want

That's actually how I changed the dpi on Nova. Unfortunately, This method does NOT work with this launcher. Any other ideas?

These are my settings, but No matter what I change the dpi to, it doesn't change.

This works! !! Thank you, that was driving me crazy. I first tried changing the launcher settings and as everyone knows that doesn't work, then I tried changing the screen density in the build prop and that screws everything up. This worked!

When did this come out for our device?
400 dpi worked pretty good except the app drawer button was off center to the left.

You can change the dpi with Rom Toolbox Pro also.

The problem is..my Trebuchet launcher is perfect. But the icons on the N5 launcher are big and hideous. Even the App Drawer looks ugly compared to Trebuchet. Any help with this..? Thanks!

How stable is the launcher for you? I was getting FC on Hangouts and Search everytime I tried to use it. is MMS working in the Hangouts App?
If yes, any thread you can link us to that shows the stable version and install instructions for this?

For the google search fc you just need the place this lib in, system/lib. Dont change permissions. Of course extract first.

The only way you can upgrade to the kit kat on a att is to be rooted. They have not rolled out the unrooted way.:crying: The knox notification is driving me nuts.

I think for that you need Pie control. Sorry I don't exactly know where you would be able to find it though.... Pretty sure it's included in most Paranoid Android ROMs (sorry it's been a while since I flashed anything so I might be incorrect).
There is an app in the play store as well and I don't think it requires root, but I would say that having it built into a ROM would work better.

what about locked rooted
What about if your not unlocked boot loader...how can u change soft keys locked n just rooted? Without the paid app I'm poor
