Could you show me which one one I click in wanma shot.,.. Also in gravity screen shot please

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.

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.

I'm sorry to ask such a basic question...but once you have Pie or UDN installed how do you lock the UCCW widget? Is it in the UCCW app or is it on the homescreen when you're looking at the widget? I really appreciate everyone's help!
I have 2 different screens set up in Nova and I change between them depending on if I'm at work or not. The one I use at work has Simple Calendar widget to show me my schedule as well as the time above it using Minimalistic Text widget.
The one I use when not at work is more minimal/stylish and just has a battery bar up the top and time in the middle. Both are Minimalistic Text widgets.
I also use LMT to give me a menu, home and back button when I swipe up from the bottom edge. I set the swipe zone to 1 pixel so you can't see it and you don't accidentally tap it when tapping icons in the dock.
I also set up the home button to toggle the dock in Nova. Before I did that, I found I would often accidentally turn the watch on with a motion and tap one of the dock icons if I was standing with my hands behind my back or arms crossed or something.

How do you get the Minimalistic Text widget setup on your Gear? I created a widget on my phone, then exported it, then moved it to my Gear, but can't get Minimalistic Text on my Gear to recognize it. Can't figure out how to her to the menu to Import it.
Any help appreciated.

I think you have to create/add a widget on your home screen first, then go into the Minimalistic Text preferences from the app drawer.
Select the widget you created, then from the menu options select import.

to be honest regarding Prime, I'm not really sure what it adds. I purchased that many years ago so I just am used to having it. I do use a gesture to swipe up on the app drawer icon in order to launch Google Now.
Here's an update, I changed my Desktop Grid to be 8 rows by 5 columns so I could do a 3x3 grid in the middle...
EDIT: I also found a font I really like in the Play Store... called Husser in the "Neat Fonts" package

yea i have my Google Now launching when i press the Home button when it's already on the home screen, i love nova it's so good. yea i don't see the benefit of Prime so i'll just stick to free
As far as I can tell, the only benefit with prime (for my needs) are the app drawer additions, such as hiding apps, tabs, tab groups, etc...and maybe icon size. I haven't upgraded to Prime yet, but seriously considering it just for those features.
I constantly use nova prime. Mostly with the swipe gestures to open apps or for dialing shortcuts.

Prime is well worth it in my opinion, especially for the gestures alone. I see myself using the feature all the time, for example I have the "Double Tap" set to the status bar; so when I double tap my screen the status bar dissapears/or reappears. Helps a lot with screen space (that status bar can be annoying).
The icon size is great if you're looking for something less in size, I tend to think the stock icon size is a bit over whelming.

Unfortunately you can't adjust transparency unless you're using the TW launcher. Even if you do adjust it in TW, it doesn't stick when you switch to another launcher like nova.

The widget does work on my S5 running Solo launcher. Not transparent, but it does work. On mine I have to re-size it, not sure why. Gonna try the default launcher to see if I can get transparency.
Edit: Tried the default TW launcher and the widget was indeed transparent.
It's a shame that only works on the one launcher.

Home button question..

Does anyone know how or if we can change it to where when I hold down the home button I get the recents instead of Google Now? Im coming from a GS4 and I liked it that way. I have tried Wanam and Gravity Box and I still can't get it to work . Thanks
Yes with nova launcher. Under settings, then gestures, then home button actions.

Nova launcher.. I don't see what all the fuss it?

So I'm trying nova launcher instead of Touchwiz. I honestly do not see what the fuss is. The only thing I like is the ability to move the app drawer button to the center of the dock. After that, I see no speed difference or awesome features.
I know most people seem to like it, but I just dont see it. Am I missing something?
LOTS of customizations.
Resizing of all third party apps
Resizing of the desktop and drawer
Font customization
Lollipop animations
Custom Google search widget
Custom animation speed
Forced landscape mode
And many more. ..

there is no questions any custom launcher bring added functionality. I personally can't live without a 5x5 grid, badge notification on almost any app and a vertical scroll drawer. The lollipop animations are also pretty cool
You my friend must be using a different version then all of us. So many features. Blows tw away by miles.

So there is a bit of a learning curve to using a launcher if you are new to them. For Nova I would focus on the items I starred in the screen shots below. Play around with it. You will see the benefits, trust us.

Changing icons individually or as a pack, multiple docks, transition effects, size of icons can be changed, swipe action for individual icons, folders can be changed, several add ons suchs as unread counts, now comes the final question - did you use the pay or the free version. A lot of the really cool stuff is only available in a paid version and trust me it is lightning fast compared to touchwiz.
I'm using nova prime. I'm still learning, this is the first time I've ever used anything other than what was baked into whatever Rom I was using. My last phone was the s3 and Darth stalker had the Xperia launcher I think... I've been using touchwiz was the last month, I just didn't like the menu (app draw) key on the right side.

OP you may want to try "Go Launcher EX" its more user friendly in my opinion. I love it because the them options and whatnot with it are endless.
I seriously love Nova launcher it's always been my go to and I've tried quite a few. I wish it was possible to pin action memos as a widget though. It's not enough to get me to stop using Nova, but damn that would be perfect if it was possible.
