[Q] Strongsteve odex blue with tw launcher

I love this Strongsteve odex blue ROM and have been tweaking it for a couple of weeks.
Is it possible to keep the 5 icon dock but switch the app drawer to 4X4? The app drawer just looks a little too busy to me with a 5X5 setup.
Thank in advance to anyone who might know how to do this.

Not that I have seen. Its one or the other. Sorry.!

The workaround I found was to use launcher pro (This preserves all of the blue icons in Strongsteves ROM) and the only difference is the app drawer scrolls vertically. But I keep the 5 icon dock and get a 4X4 app drawer.
I am happy with this workarpound. Life is good

I use launcher pro and my drawer scrolls horizontally. check your setting, i dont prefer vertical anymore lol

There is a zip linked in the original post on the ROM thread that will switch the TW back to the regular method.
That should do exactly what you need!

Launcher for GN2!

Well I just came from rooted mytouch 4g and loved the endless possibilities of being rooted! But I don't want to root this GN2 yet because of warranty but enough said I want to change my dpi or just change the size of things and love a good launcher with lots of themes but not any launcher IV tried has abilities to change icon size or dpi...
Any one found a good launcher besides nova prime, or go launcher

I hate Go Launcher. It used to be great. Then they switched over to GetJar to download themes, and they have Free to download but pay to use themes. It's a huge mess. I personally like Nova or Apex. Although now that ADW has updated their app, I've been using that. I have to say it works pretty well, though each time I reboot I have to reset it as the default launcher.

I love the stock launcher with a few exceptions; I don't understand why they made the pages a 4x4 grid. The Note fully justifies a 5x5 grid. I wish that the other launchers gave you the ability to quick-scroll between pages in the homescreen and in the dock like the stock touchwiz launcher does.

I changed my DPI to 280 and use Go Launcher with a 6x6 grid and works very well. Now the stock Samsung keyboard and dialer did not scale correctly, but I use Swipe and the Go Dialer.

Adw has gotten as lot better and after a haitus from it I'm back and it's better than it had ever been

Lovin this LauncherWP8. Very neat and customizable. This phone is otherworldly.

Not finding that on the play store. Are you referring to a theme or an actual launcher?

Still stuck on Nova launcher. Fast, stable and the backup feature is in the free version. $4 for the pro, gives you message and email counts on the icons, just like TW.

You could simply use one of the toolkits. And if something happens you can use it revert back to complete stock.

Well, I finally invested the time in learning enough about Lightning Launcher. It's really COMPLETELY different than other launchers I've tried, which is what I like about it. I've tried Apex, ADW, Nova and briefly touched GO -- they're all pretty much the same -- all pretty good. Lightning is kind of a big pain to figure out and it doesn't give the option for a scrollable dock, but you can pin, resize, rotate and arrange all icons, widgets and folder labels in whatever way you want, all on a zoomable, scrollable page. You can't really apply themes, but you can make up whatever you want. Your screen is really like a window onto an infinite desktop that you have full control over. It doesn't have the fancy animation options that the others do, so there's not a lot of "Wow" factor for others to see, but I have everything accessible from a single screen that doesn't feel too cluttered with icons. Lightning is free from Play and doesn't require root.
FWIW, here's a screen shot of my home page -- The two rows of icons at the bottom are pinned as well as the Google search widget at the top. Everything else moves and zooms in or out behind the pinned stuff. If I want, I can place other items above, below, or to the sides and just scroll to them. Lightning does support other pages that you can switch to with a two-finger swipe, and I use them as sort of a sandbox for trying things out, but everything I want is on my main home page.

I've been using atom launcher for a while first on my s2 and now on my note2. It will let you create folders which is nothing new but you can scroll with your finger or with the S Pen. Also you can vary the opacity of the icons on the home screen if you want to keep some what of a clean look. I'll post pics to better explain.

I use nova AND circle launcher.

I am using Apex. Great launcher. Fast scrolling and screen transitions. You can install some nice themes and change the icon packs.

I'm pretty sure I've tried them all, and seem to always revert back to Nova Pro. Its fast, stable, has nice features without be gimmicky like Go and some of the others. Bottom line I want something that works that isn't at burden on system resource, Nova fits that bill.

Root modifies your devices's firmware, so...no :/

1.6 Theme?

Okay, this is going to sound so stupid. Is there anyway to get the UI and launcher from 1.6 on our Nexus 4's? I just personally love the look. Is it possible?

check out the retro ui theme in the general themes section. you will need to be running a rom that supports themes...like CM10.1 or PA.

Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17319469#post17319469
Probably won't worth but worth a try.
There was a CM10 theme, not sure if it'll work. You could edit the grey app drawer dock/icon onto a wallpaper and use a upwards gesture from the bottom of the screen to launch the app drawer which is set to vertical.

Just tried them and it wasn't pretty, the notification bar icons were misaligned, and the notification draw was the standard black one from 4.2, such a shame.

bump, anyone know of any better themes?

That ui was made for hvga/wvga or something around that range, upscaling those graphics to 720p is just asking for trouble. Someone would need to actually recreate everything from donut.

[Q]make app icons transparent? (other than transparent launcher)

I bought Transparent Launcher Premium, thinking that it would do it for me. Unfortunately though, it lacks many basic features that I think the developer should have implemented. There is no way to search for an application by name to make it a transparent widget (you have to scroll through all your apps in non alphabetical order), and you cannot make multiple transparent widgets for your app icons (has to be 1 by 1). Lastly, with my Note 2 I can't even have a 1x1 transparent widget, only 2x2. So please guys, any other viable options out there? I like to have a nice wallpaper to look at with most of the apps that I use still on my homescreen.
PS sorry for the rant :silly:

Lightning launcher has the ability to make icons and widgets transparent.

Thanks for the reply. I do not want to switch my home lunched though. I'm a firm believer that most big things on a phone should be stock... runs smoother.

REQUEST: Adjust this ported launcher from SGS4 for our Nexus?

Hello, can somebody port this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236937&page=3 to our devices as well ? when i flash it the dock icons are all out of order ;\

It is working great for me, you have to flash the xhdpi version. The only "issue" is the page indicator in homescreen, the dock icons overlap the page indicator but thats ok. You can also enable pie and expanded desktop and it will look beautiful.

Its working great when the dock icons overlap the page indicator ???
I don't know what your phones look like but for me its looking absolutely ugly !!
I also really hope that one of our genius devs here can take a look into it and ADJUST it so that it is working fine ( without the need of pie ).

The launcher is nice. I found another issue. If you set it on list view and have folder created, then you can't open it.

I think i found out why its happening... unlike other XHDPI phones the nexus has onscreen buttons right? so the launcher gives space from the bottom for the nav bar compressing the contents of the launcher together causing the overlaps. I guessed this since i tried this on Paranoid Android and when i put the nav bar size to 0%, and used Pie Navigation, the overlapping was gone. But bring back the nav bar though.... the icons overlap again.
Im still using it along with pie right now and havnt found any other issues with the launcher except for some lags.

Here's a screen shot... :good:

I will post a flashable zip on the launcher later
