[Q] Launcher With No App Drawer?

I love the simplicity of having no app drawer and integrated folders with the MIUI rom, but now that we have more gingerbread (thanks developers), I wanna try some other roms. I always lose apps in the app drawer and I know it bloats up my phone. If possible, is there any way to install the MIUI launcher in another rom (or just remove the app drawer from another launcher)? Or is it too deeply integrated to simply install the same way as something like launcher pro? I don't care about the ability to theme or whatever, I just want an app-drawer-free launcher.

Bump!
Isn't there any good launcher for CM7 without an app drawer? I find it annoying to the extreme like the MIUI launcher or ifone *blasphemy*

Here's a dark horse - "Simple Home" from LG!
I couldn't believe it myself...
After months of loving MIUI, and hating the drawer again after upgrading to Evervolv 4.1.2, I found Simple Home, a iOS-like drawer-less app launcher developed by LG, with an install footprint of only 2-3 Mb (versus MIHome's 20Mb payload).
LG? Really?!?!?

[Q] any way to change the number of 'home' screens??

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!

Better Launcher for Z3C?

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

And how did you "mod" the stock launcher? And what feature(s) did you mod?

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.

PIE Update Suitable Launcher

Can someone suggest the best launcher suitable for Nokia 8 for PIE? As Stock launcher does not provide customization.

I use Nova prime beta, it's the best for me.
You may also try lawnchair 2 as its free.

i only use "evie"

Nova Prime... no doubt!!

Switched to this after unboxing the phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher

Microsoft animation is sluggish not so smooth in pie. Although beautiful in Oreo. Thanks for the suggestion, Evie is cleaner but still not smooth animations . Didn't try Nova Prime.

try Flick Launcher. it has many cool features and with it you get the ability to restrict access to certain apps using your fingerprint scanner.

I don't care for it, so I can't vouch for these but have you searched XDA for Pixel 3 Launcher? I know several people here have released a version very close to it. I can't post a link with this app but a search should give you something.

Thank you! I was having issues installing pixel launcher on it (google play said it was incompatable with my device) So I just downloaded lawnchair and the lawnfeed addon and its essentially the pixel launcher with google now. Runs fast, no issues.

I have it working after downloading it somewhere on XDA, just search for it. Everything works as you'd expect except sometimes I find the google assistant news feed to the left of the homescreen a little jerky sometimes. Other than that it's exactly like on my pixel 2XL.

I'm using Lawnchair V2. It's even better and includes Google Feed.
