Hi
Im looking for a tw launcher with smaller margins at the top.
I have tried the 4x5 and larger but they still have a huge gap at the top of widgets.
Any others

Earlier today my TW launcher somehow moved the app icon from furthest right to 2nd from right, and after some fiddling on my end, to the middle. I backed up my apps on TB and full phone on TWRP and after reboot the app icon was back to its original spot. Also back on the same spot after restoring my backup, clearing cache, etc. So it seems though that this is plausible.... is anyone able to decipher how to make this permanent to TW?

This and having the app drawer scroll through widgets and apps together like the stock launcher would be nice

Apex
You could always switch to something like Apex Launcher... Much more customizable in those respects.
I actually like touchwiz...I used nova before and the smoothnes just doesn't match with stock.

Yeah I'm glad i'm not the only one that likes touchwiz. I love it. It so smooth
But this mod would be very nice I'll try to see if I can figure out something
EDIT: There is a way but it's a lot more complicated then it's worth..
Is anyone using a different launcher? What S pen features work and what do you lose....?

I'm using Apex, haven't lost a thing.

Using Nova, no loss at all.
Using Nova, everything works. The only thing I can note is that the S Pen app doesn't automatically launch after removing the pen any longer. Not sure if that can be restored, but I have not investigated that since I actually like it better this way.
Apex. Only loss is when the Spen is removed the Page Buddy doesnt open automatically and the Spen icon is not displayed in the status bar.

So Apex and Nova, you lose certain S Pen features. And I believe multiview will not work with 3rd party launchers as well.

Incorrect...multiview works perfectly on Nova and I would assume for Apex as well. Pagebuddy doesn't open on 3rd party launchers, but all the apps within Pagebuddy work fine, you just have to open them individually instead of the page automatically opening. No big deal and the advantages of the launchers far outweight that one negative. In my opinion anyway.

That's a shame to hear that Page buddy gets broken.

Just put the s pen widget on a screen and problem solved

Totally agree while page buddy doesnt pop up automatically all the functionality is there just put Snote on your desktop and its ready to go. The Soen itself works fine under these launchers

Same thing with Holo. Another mildly annoying thing with Holo is that the exposé-like animation (which shows all your screens and allows you to switch to any one of them without cycling) is slow and choppy.

In my experience nova and apex aren't as smooth as the stock touchwhiz launcher is on this phone. Not saying they are laggy or anything but it is noticeable. I have the paid versions of nova and apex because in general I prefer them, but I've been using touchwhiz with 4x5 mod and perseus kernel and loving it.

TW on this phone is the first stock launcher that I would consider as smooth as Nova...however, the lack of scrolling dock kills it for me. If TW had that, I would definitely stick with it.

I could live with out the scrolling dock, I just want a fully customizable dock..... But still want s pen features... I'm sure there will be ROMs to fix this...

I doubt it since you lose no s pen features with Apex or Nova...those are the two launchers most used by devs when making ROMs.

It works fine for me using The Hybrid ROM. I haven't experienced any trouble with it at all
I'm loving Apex! Everything seems to work fine so far. But why can't I re-size my icons in Apex, even though the option to re-size any icon is selected?

Hit the QuickMemo button. Make sure nothing's written on it. If it is, tap "Clear All." Then tap the Save icon, save it to the gallery, then come back in here with the app and attach the picture.
I can't find the file for it. I can't get a preview for the image without other items on the screen.

Thank you, I'm self-critical, I'm very bad.
Where is the exit?
Again thank you for this little trick.
:fingers-crossed:
I love the Samsung themes and touchwiz but I want a bigger grid like 5x6 or higher I know there is something out there that can give me that option.
I have searched high and low. Anyone know of one. It's greatly appreciated.
