[Q] More Rows And Columns - Stock Launcher - Moto X Q&A

Hi guys, I was wanting to add more rows and columns on the home screens and the app drawer on the stock launcher. I know that I can use Nova Launcher to do it but I like the stock launcher more. Is there a way to do this or do I have to use a home replacement launcher? I'm already rooted if that helps.
Thanks in advanced.

I think Gravity Box might work. If not, GEL with Xposed GEL settings is by far my favorite launcher right now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I totally forgot about GEL. Unfortunately I still like the Moto X's launcher a little better but GEL will suffice for now. Thanks heaps

[Q] Launchers

Can someone tell me what the best launcher is to use? And does anyone know if someone is working on making a Galaxy Tab launcher? Because that'd be amazing!

Honestly Launchers are like cars, what works for me may not work for you... Personally I use, and love, ADW EX. That being said people swear by Launcher Pro.
Zeam has been great for me.

I rather enjoy ADW myself. But I've got Zeam and LauncherPro that I use from time to time just for a change of pace.
I seem to be having trouble with shortccuts (adding) on launcherpro an dean,
I just get a quick black screen and then i'm dumped bcack to my main screen.
I do not have a crash. I uses autonooter to root my book.
Is it just a bad root and i should do it again from scratch?
Or is this a launcher/book issue?
Thanks

Still trying to find the Launcher that allows a scrollable bottom dock bar, and/or the option to change the visual effects when swiping through home screens.
Anyone know which one I'm looking for

LauncherPro does both of these excellently. I highly recommend trying it.

I'm using awd ex, and I'm very happy with it. Recommend it for everyone. Prefer it over LP (used both alot)

I personally prefer Zeam over ADW and launcher pro
ADW is the way to go. Always been happy with it...
I was using LauncherPro, then switched to ZEAM. However I recently revived an old OpenHome purchase for my old Behold 2. I dropped the Eris theme on to it and have not turned back. The bottom sliding drawer is a nice touch.
I hate the zeam app drawer. But it is the fastest one. I use adw ex
Nook Color via Xda App
I used to run Zeam, came pre-installed with one of the Auto-Nooter scripts or something, but recently switched to ADW. I use ADW EX on my Android phone and highly recommend like many otheres here (my girlfriend owns the Nook Color or would be running the EX version of it on the Nook too)
ADW EX ftw...

Best launcher poll

What's the best launcher for the N7? If other, please specify which one.
In my opinion, I enjoy using NOVA.
Nova

I should've added Go Launcher to the poll.
I've never used a bad launcher. Apex is my current favorite. My least favorite was Go.
*nvm*
Nova for me, just like how they are showing the initiative

completely stock, Jelly Bean!
When using Samsung, HTC phones you become so jealous of the stock android launcher that it becomes an obsession.
Whilst touchwiz and sense offer some things that are better, as a past/current user of these phones, we just want to speed and compatibility that nexus devices can offer.
I don't think I'll ever root & install a custom rom on my Nexus 7, it's sexy, super fast & smooth & just what I wanted.
Enough to make me also consider a Nexus phone as my next phone too.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I use go launcher ex, not the HD tablet version. The one for the phone just works better for me.
I like the paid version of Nova the best, but if I wanted a free replacement I'd go with Apex.
At the moment I like the stock launcher the best. I can't really seem to get either Nova or Apex to look the way I want them to.
Apex for some reason I can't have 6 rows in landscape mode, because the gap between the icons and the labels is larger than normal that the labels end up vanishing with more than 5 rows in landscape.
Also I don't like how the dock bar rotates with the screen.
Nova launcher seems to have gotten better after the recent update, I can move icons easier now. One cosmetic issue that bugs me though is I've turned off the google search bar, however in landscape mode it still shows the divider bar between where the search bar was and the rest of the screen on the left side. I really wish that could be removed.

Nova is amazing, and blazingly fast. Very clear difference from Apex, which I used for a few days. Sticking with Nova Pro.
I like sslauncher. Different and loved it on my note as well. Just wished had more themes
From the Note to Nexus 7
Stock is great, using Nova to hide apps and sort apps into folders though, and is just as good
Using Nova Prime. Mimics 4.1 quite well and adds more function. No regrets. The reason I purchased Prime is because I already own Widget Locker and I chose to continue my support for the developer.

Should also add Stock as well Not everybody uses a 3rd-party launcher

[Q] Change the number of homescreens?

Is it possible, on the stock launcher, to change the number of homescreens? I have no use for 5, I normally only have 2 or 3. Can I delete some? The old pinch-to-edit function doesn't seem to work (maybe that's a TouchWiz feature). I know you can use Nova/Apex/etc. to do this, but I'd really rather stay with the stock setup for now. Anyone know a hidden trick?
Not that I know of. You should check out Nova launcher. They have a great beta version that keeps the transparent top and bottom bar and lots of features.

Maybe try your menu button, look in your setting for launcher preferences, and or hold the screen down on the homescreen. If not, perhaps try a new launcher.
You can't with the stock launcher. Download the launcher from Nexus 5 aka GEL launcher, there you can just have the number of screens you need. Can also use various third party launchers which does this. Nova is my favorite among the third party ones.

Nope that's why I use nova. It even has settings for kit kat that makes it look like GEL.

Nothing fancy, just keeping it simple. Some of my mostly used apps are on this home screen, as well as others on the second one. Last one's reserved for a task list widget. Running stock with either Google Now Launcher or Action Launcher Pro (I keep switching between them).

Gravity box may work or wanam
6 icons just doesn't look clean on the homepage, that might just be me but it looks cluttered with more than 4 icons + app drawer.

Did you find anything? I'm coming from the G3 as well. Used G3 Tweaks. Would like to add an extra row and column (5x5) to my home screens without having to switch launchers. Wanam doesn't have the option and I believe Gravity box is for AOSP only.
Launchers like ADW and others allow you to specify the number of columns and rows to display. I use ADW, but maybe Nova or Apex do this.

No. Everything works normally. Think of launchers as highly-customizable window dressing. They don't affect application functioning and they are not custom ROMs.

One thing I noticed about using a different launcher like ADW EX. status bar transperency disappears. I want pretty much everything going transparent. Any work around for you guys that you have found? I'll go as far into the rabbit hole as I can with this.love transparent ui.

Also if you are like me and use action memo a lot, you won't be able to pin them to a home screen as a widget. That feature only works with TouchWiz.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Premium HD app
You can get the status bar transparent with an xposed module or Nova has this ability built in. I don't remember if you need prime with Nova or not tho.
