2 Options.
1: Install Nova Launcher (or other 3rd party launchers)
2: Root and flash a custom modded TW Launcher that somebody posted in the forum last week.

sliding screens

Hi experts,
the A100 have by default "5 Screens" you can put your applications or widgets on
My question is if there is a way to reduce the number to 1 or 2 ?
Thanks,

Depends on the launcher in use if that can be done or not.

Not sure about the default launcher, it's been a long time since I've used it but I know you can with other launchers like Nova plus you get many other options. Just install it and let it export everything from your default launcher. You can then change the number of screens in the settings or by pressing the home button from the center home screen.

Pixel Launcher DP2 Not Showing New Home Button

I normally use Nova Launcher as my default launcher but wanted to try Pixel launcher. As you can see in screenshot, I am not getting the Pixel home button, but the one from Nova Launcher.
Settings > system > Gestures > "swipe up on home button"
The new nav bar is not tied to the launcher. I use the new pill navigation on Nova launcher
Thats also the one from the Pixel and not from the nova launcher, as the nova launcher hasn't softkeys intgrated. I assume you mean the gesture-controll button, you have to activate it in Settings/system/gestures/"swipe from homebutton" (or so)

D'OH I thought I had activated that. Working now. Thanks
has anyone using Nova noticed that the back button shows even on the home screen? I believe it should show only when there is a need for it right? I switched to the stock launcher and it doesn't show there.

Yup lol. I got the same response. And something as silly as the back button always showing is keeping me from using it. For now I'm using pixel launcher.

Is One UI Home modding possible ?

Hi,
I'm a bit upset because at some point samsung reduced the icon size on their one ui home app,
I liked them bigger and would like to mod the app if it was possible,
I'd found my way in the code but I'm not sure if and how it's possible to install a rebuilt version of the APK as we can't uninstall the original one,
Could someone tell if it can be or has already been done ?
Thanks
Just get nova launcher prime and call it a day. You wont be disappointed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en_US
50 million cant be wrong. Anything can be done then.
Not what I was asking for but thanks ^^, I just need info about apk repacking / refactoring, I'm not interested in other launchers

I was able to mod the OneUI launcher...its not perfect though.
I have modded it to have the app drawer as 6 columns and 8 rows.
However, the setting of changing the grid in the launcher setting is goofed up, it only still shows 4x5, 4x6. 5x5 and 5x6. if i choose any of these, i do not have any way of getting it back to 6x8 unless i reset the app....
i am not sure if my mod will work on every phone...i can probably prepare a guide on how to mod it.
Good day.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here goes a sugestion anyway.
Samsung has an app called Home Up, that can change some paremeters of One UI launcher, like app drawer grid, folder presentation and backup your layout.
If you are interested, here is the link, and some screenshots

ATV Launcher thread

ATV Launcher is (as far as I know) the only one Launcher for android tV which has such lot of customization options.
Would like to see if there are other users of this launcher.
Would like to know which apps widgets works on this Launcher.
I am using it on my Android TV, excellent launcher, a few widgets working.
I got only weather widget working (beside the included ones).
Would like to have:
-calendar widget
-network speed widget

TV TCL 50P8M 50" 4K - Android TV 9
I'm using it on my Nokia TV without any widgets for now, I'd say ATV and HAL launchers are best for now available on play store. I heard Wolf Launcher also good one, I'm thinkig to try it once.
But I have one problem in my TV, there's no settings to make ATV or any other launcher as default launcher. Clicking on home button also not asking to make it default. ATV launcher is working as any other app instead of a launcher.

That is so impressive! Respect. Is it possible to make a script that will take a standard ATV launcher install and grant the binding for using widgets and include a collection of useable widgets?

I used launcher manager, a app routinely used with Wolf launcher to get the system prompt when you push home button for which launcher do you want to use. However when I picked ATV and set always, all the application icons on ATV turned to ghosted rectangles with no labels. Used launcher manager to get back to system launcher but home button was screwy to the point I uninstalled both ATV and launcher manager. Back to square zero.

That's happened to me but rebooting the device resolved it, only seems to happen when first setting it with launcher manager.
Does anyone have ATV pro? I purchased it for the additional features which seem good, but I have issues that the free version doesn't have. I set widgets off on both versions and with the free version if I press up when on the top row of apps, no app is selected, which I like. But with the pro version, it stays stuck on the top row. Also there is an issue with selecting files despite giving permissions. So if I want to customise an app icon with my own image, the file picker shows up blank with nowhere to navigate to. The same issue happens when trying to set a wallpaper. These issues don't happen with the free version. I tried contacting the developer via Google Play listing, but looks like my email is bouncing back. It's the same on both my devices - Chromecast with Google TV and MeCool KM9 Pro.

Question How to change home screen position?

Hello, I'm back on Google device. So I like vanila Android. But I'm confused with some things. I have 3 pages with some most important apps and widgets. I want to add one more page with must have widgets but I want to move from last page to first and set second pages as home. Is it possible to get it? I know this is possible with 3rd party launchers. But how to do it with default google launcher? I have latest version Android 12 Security Patch July 5.
I see what you mean I couldn't pinch to see more pages and couldn't add another page

I agree with you. Maybe someone know answer.
I use nova launcher so I'm not that bothered
I know if you want a new page you need to drag an app and it's creates a new page
To add to that, you should be able to drag a widget to create a new page as well, while it's true that I don't use the Pixel Launcher (I use Nova), so I don't know for certain, but that's what I remember.
which launcher best work with Pixel and gestures?
