Simply wondering if anyone can get the Touchwiz or LG Launcher on their Nexus 6. Specifically looking for one from the Note 4 or G3, seeing that they're both 1440 launchers.
That, or a simple launcher that gives you the ability to change grids in the drawers and add folders in the drawers. Thank you! (hopefully no one has posted about this, I couldn't find anything close.)
BTW: Simply installing the TouchWiz does not work. Have not tried with the G3 launcher.

I really like the sense launcher from the leaked gingerbread rom, having the app list sorted out , also the scrolling is pretty nice so i dont want to give it and install launcherpro or adw launcher, all i want is :
1. Replace the customize launcher on the dock and instead get a sms launcher or whatsapp launcher, also the phone launcher takes too much space, the ideal thing would be having 5 launchers in the dock
2. Chose the number of screens, how can stock android have this and not sense? i just use 5 homescreens of 7
I don't think this is possible tjr parts you want to change is the Rosie.apk launcher that is proprietary HTC stuff. There's a thread on here in this forum called Rosie remaps. You should look there for answers.

Does anybody know what is the Theme/Launcher the guys is using?

It's the last video from the review and you can see his Homescreen at about 0:33
I've been looking all over the internet for 3 days. XDA is my last hope to find out.
Thanks!
From the looks of it, it looks like a regular stock SGS2 launcher. I compared it against other reviews and it looks similar. I watched the video some more and noticed a few things that reminds me a lot of ADW launcher. Like for instance, when he swiped up, it opened the app drawer. ADW Launcher has that feature. When I looked at his dock bar, it didn't look like a regular dock bar and possibly had a hidden one. ADW Launcher has that feature as well.
But, my conclusion is it is a regular stock SGS2 launcher. You can still find similarities to it by using ADW Launcher.

Still I don't know how to make my SGSII look like that (I love those thin icons in the homescreen, thats what I want)
Mine is a Spanish 1.2Ghz SGSII
Any ideas?

Oh, you just want the thin icons like in the video? Have you checked through your Settings menu for anything relating to home docks and launcher?
My co-worker has a SGS2 and I could probably check his phone and see if such feature like that exist.
If not, then I don't know what will allow you to have thin icons like that and whatnot. Best thing to do is check through all your settings.

Yes I checked all settings. I'm think thats not the stock launcher.
Hope someone can recognize it
I guess you mean the clustered homescreen? Its ADW. And it looks like there isn't a theme applied. They're all stock icons, but tgeyre cut off because there's so many columns.

Just installed ADW and it works setting columns to maximum which is 8.

I've been a LauncherPro user for many years now, and as such I've stuck with it on my Note. However, due to the "laggy" app-drawer opening animation, I've had to disable that completely (so that the drawer opens immediately).
I believe that pretty much ALL third-party launchers suffer from stuttering in some way or another. Does anyone actually know WHY this is the case on the Note? Its not ROM specific.
The alternative is to just use TouchWiz, which I am 100% keen on doing, except for ONE little problem. 90% of Android widgets are 4 columns wide, and there is no way to resize widgets with TouchWiz.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I get the feeling that most people stick with TouchWiz, so I'd love to know what you do about the 4 column limitation.

No problem
I have tried most of the available launchers. The one i am most happy with at the moment is spb shell 3d, its not cheap. But when in tablet mode, looks great on the note. The widgets really make use of the screen resolution.
The only issue is there is no ability to alter the row/column count. Which in tablet mode has a count of 8. Which is a little high for the screen size of the note.
I have emailed the Developers of spb shell 3d and they have told me a update will be available soon.
Just my opinion
Thanks. I wish there was a way to test SPB before buying.
Are you able to resize widgets with SPB?

Yeah, you can resize all the widgets. It is a shame there is no trial

what ROM/kernel are you using? or maybe it's because I use too many widgets?

There is, but not one that I could ever recommend
I admit I tried it and found it very wanting. I only did it for the trial, because the cost was so high. I am glad I did, as I found it very wanting on my device. Others seem faster to me.
I use ssLancher. It has a very different approach, and everything is customisable. I also use a separate app launcher and Folder Organiser, leaving me 'free' from the app organisation that most launchers pin on you. That allows me to play with more with less effort.
go launcher is good because you can use ICS theme.
But this stupid launcher removes ICS animation ! (returns Gingerbread stock)
I hope new update (4.0) will bring for us more then just a nice shell.

No matter what Kernel/ROM I use, every single launcher lags noticeably. I never had this problem with my previous phones (Atrix, Defy+, SGS2). And yes, I'm and advanced user so I know how to optimize the OS.
I just stuck to ADW EX, selecting the Fast interface and setting drawing cache to low quality. It lags but it's way less than Launcher Pro, GO and SS Launcher.
Hope this gets fixed on ICS.

ADW Launcher EX rly nice low on memory and alot of customizations possibilities.
Mmhhnnnnnn
I agree, I tried lots of launchers and IMO ADW EX is the best one!
It should be amazing one day to get anything equal to the Sense interface as Launcher (NO SPB Shell is not as good as Sense), don't you think so? I love it on HTC
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
I used to use Launcher Pro back in the day, but TBH, I consider it to be dead now; the developer hasn't made any changes to ver 0.8.6 for almost a year now... I think it's abandoned.
I use ADW EX, and it's pretty decent!
I just got my new, customized Moto X in the mail and so far I love it with a few exceptions. Most notable of these is the fact that I appear to be stuck with the stock 5 screens. I prefer a very streamlined UI with my phone and so in my past Android phones I've only had a home screen and one extra.
Is there any possible way to change the number of screens in the stock operating system? I have flashed different roms in the past with other phones but I think I am going to avoid that with this phone at all costs because I have almost all of the features I would want in a custom ROM already.
any help would be appreciated! And yes, I have already tried searching for this issue and I can't seem to find any solutions. I feel like this is a pretty standard feature that I have seen in almost all other newer Android phones.
Do yourself a favor and use Nova launcher or Apex launcher.

I guess I'll have to check one of these out. I had GOlauncher ex and then ADW launcher on my previous phone but it was android 2.Xxx (or rather, a custom ROM based on android 2.4something) so I assume there are much cleaner, more advanced launchers out by now. I just wanted to make sure the stock UI couldn't be modified in any way by a setting that was hiding from me before I ventured out into launchers and/or ROMs.
Thanks!
I am getting tired of annoying features of the Sony launcher, like "suggested apps" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/how-to-remove-search-bar-xperia-home-t3355603).
I'd love to get some opinions about alternative launchers with the following attributes:
* simple, uncluttered, minimalist appearance
* customizable, to make it even simpler
* esthetically clean and elegant (no graphic or color overload)
You get the idea!
Thanks,
JM
I have installed Nova launcher from October 1, 2014 in the Z3C.

+1 on nova launcher, been using it for years now.
Another vote for Nova.
Nova is nice, but Apex launcher has nearly identical features without requiring upgrades to the paid app. Plus, I think it's just a hair lighter on system resources.

Thank you all for chiming in! I installed Nova, but will try Apex as well and report back.

the launcher itself is great, only a few things, which are editable ( Disappear for example ) are needed. Tried the google now launcher and apex and were disappointed so i decided to mod the stock launcher to my wish
Nova launcher :3

Actually, when you dont know how to edit apks its the easiest way to use serjars xposed module ( Dont got the link right know, have to look it up and edit it in ) Requires root and a working recovery
Makes the whole appearence editable ( Icon Numbers in the Home Dock, Grid sizes and dont know what else.
Even the app suggestions are stuck in the past.
