I found that Nova launcher for me is much quicker than Apex launcher. I would like to use Nova but it seems that you can not hide app drawer labels, or is it just me?
Go to Nova settings -> Desktop -> uncheck "Label Icons"
me too NOVA Launcher is faster .
I recently found the light too!
Nova launcher is the way forward! Not going back to sense anytime soon

It seems it's still unavailable, or it's just me too...

No, that hides labels on Desktop, not on Drawer, that was his question (and mine BTW)...
If you increase the number of rows enough, the labels disappear.
modify one by one the app label with an empty string
Yeah, can't believe it's missing a simple thing that all other launchers have. You need to edit each app one by one!
remove icon label nova

you can try column 8 row 5 in nova setting-drawer
it works for me, the label is gone now
Increasing number of rows will remove the app label in the drawer

If you enable small tabs, than you also need to increase the icon size to 130%. Only then the labels will not be shown.
But thanks for the tip!
Nova settings < App and widget drawers < icon layout and then untick labels

Hi all
Is it possible to change the home screen grid of the Galaxy S to more than 4x4 items? with changing the DPI setting, everything is smaller but the grid stays the same! All widgets look very stupid! Small OK, but really far away from one another! Can this be changed somewhere?
change the launcher...
with the launcherpro (or ADWlauncher?) you can choose a 5x5 grid, for example
Or try out "Mulitcon Widget" free in the market...

Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling
Hello,
I am using the nova launcher. I am using 4 dock pages. The drawer icon is automatically added on the 1st 3 dock pages.
The 4th dock page dosn't have the drawer icon added. I can't figure out how to add a drawer icon on the 4th dock page.
How do I do this?
thanks
I just long press on the desktop until I get the Add to Home screen menu. Select Nova Actions. Then App Drawer. Then I drag it to the dock.
thank you,
that worked!
Hello!
I'm using nova launcher and...it would really be grate, if i could define the transparency of all the icons on all my homescreens.

I can only think of a couple options for this. Either find a compatible icon theme with transparency in playstore (nova, apex, adw icon packs should all work), or make your own icons and and edit your shortcuts one by one.
Of course you could always request this as a feature to be added by the dev. Here is the nova thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
edit: Here are round transparent icons - the closest I can find to what you are looking for
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...contheme.slowproduction&feature=search_result
Is there an app or setting that'd allow the editing of the row and column numbers - as well as the ability to hide the icon text - on the homescreen? I know I can use Nova to do this but was curious if there were a way to do it with the stock launcher...
Thanks!
