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.

Sure does. I have an 900A, I just found the thread over there.
Probably a dumb question but do I have to be rooted and is this a mod for touch wiz.

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.

trying to work out a bug before i post...
Can anyone tell me what features we lose by using Nova (or any other) launcher? I know we lose the TouchWiz Widgets, but do we lose any pen features or anything else of consequence?
Thanks.

That's great to hear. I wasn't sure how much of the TouchWiz framework was tied to the launcher.

On Nova launcher you can make a swipe up on the locker icon launch flipboard, so I haven't lost that functionality.
I really miss the Simple Contacts Widget from my Note 2. Is there an apk out there for this? I have a flashable zip, but of course it can't be flashed yet....

Actually my memory is bad. It's an apk but you can't install it. You have to place it in the system folder which will require root. I am on the fence about rooting. I paid full price for this phone., so warranty is important. I've always rooted in the past
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So why would anybody else's apk work? Lol sorry just don't see much logic behind this post

you can use Android Pro Widgets to get contacts widget like HTC phones and its free.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the yahoo news lock screen widget on the note 3 like the s3 and note 2 had?

I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue? On my note 1 I use to get birthday notifications on my stock weather widget. On the note 3 I have never received birthday notifications on my weather widget. Is this an issue my phone is having or is this normal?

I never seen this on my stock weather app. Maybe they remove this feature.
