I am trying to adjust the margins on both launchers...I have both set to none yet there is still a noticeable margin on either side of the screen...and I need my widget to hit the very edge of the screen.
Any idea what the issue may be?

On Apex take a look at the widget padding setting - Apex Settings\Advanced Settings\Widget Settings\Widget Padding - set to None.

Did so..did improve it but still shows a small gap. Any setting like that for nova to try?
Really sucks.

Sorry, I've never used Nova....
Which widget are you using? Most likely the widget has its own little gap on the side... Kinda like the some of the analog clock widget s where they have wasted space and all.

Is there a way to change the amount of home screens that appear on the launcher without using launcher pro or adw? I've been trying to find a way to change it to 5 screens, but I can't seem to figure itt out. Thanks in advance for any help,

No there isn't.
But out of curiosity... why no love for the better launchers?

I have been using ADW for awhile now. I just like the look of the stock launcher and app drawer. Also the transition to landscape is rediculously smoothe in comparison. I just don't like that I can't change the number of screens and use 4 quick keys at the bottom instead of the page dots.
Try Launcher Pro, its the only one I found very similar to the stock launcher and has tons of options (set number of home screens).
^ I agree with you, but the OP was pretty clear about the fact that he didn't want to use Launcher Pro.

I used launcher pro on my vibrant but spacing seemed a bit off. I'll give it a whirl on the G2. Thanks,

I had a Vibrant for a while and used Launcher Pro with it. Because of its larger screen size and relatively different aspect ratio, I had to increase the number of home screen columns to 5. LP allows you to do this, as well as auto-stretch certain widgets to fit the column change. You may try to do this with the G2. I've used both LP and ADW and found LP to be a bit more to my liking. Bummer about no setting to change the # of screens on stock. Reminds me of how the Vibrant locked screen 4 as the default no matter what.

I was hoping someone could help me sizing widgets for the nexus screen.
I wanted to make a grid that fit together with no spaces in between like on that market screenshot for the app.
My plan uses 4x1 and 2x1 widgets so I wont need the other sizes.
I had it set up pretty good on my lg but with the different screen sizes it doesnt match on the nexus.
I have my screen set to 5 rows and 4 columns so I was looking to do a 4x1 at the top then 6 2x1s and then a 4x1 at the bottom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are those tiles or just hotspots? if the lines aren't visible you can just set it as your wallpaper and use DVR to create invisible icons using a "blank picture".
if not, find out what your phone resolution is and your gonna have to edit the picture to find the proper alignment to match the widget sizes...i have made a bunch of custom homescreens (its a pain to get the alignment right sometimes)..but if it looks good in the end, its worth it
it shouldnt be too difficult though, that set up isn't complicated

Thats a good idea, so your saying create it all as one picture and then set it to wallpaper then use invisible icons for widgets right?
The only problem I can see for that is what about the wallpaper for the rest of my screens?

1. yes
2. are you using scrolling wallpaper or is it static?
either way the concept will still work...just that scrolling wallpaper may take you longer to figure out the alignment
if you can post the picture you are going to use and an idea of what you want i can help you with more specific questions

I did something like that when I was using multiple wallpaper but I much prefer the scrolling wallpaper so I stopped using it.
How would this work with a scrollable wallpaper when you see the same part of the wallpaper on 2 separate screens?
This was the screen I had with multiple wallpaper.
The thats the wallpaper Im currently using.

ive actually never seen someone use a "tile" setup with scrolling wallpaper...it can be done but obviously there will be overlapping points..the icons would be on separate screens and with blank images so it would just be the wallpaper shifting not the icons (since they arent visible)
in my opinion, if you are going to use a tile set up it would be best to use static wallpaper...i know you posted a picture of the wallpaper but it doesnt really give me a clear idea as to what you are doing

What Im doing or trying to do is just what that screen shot is. Have a check list type screen to launch apps from.
I found a desktop visualizer addon called dvrimageslicer that I thought was the answer I was looking for but for some reason it only crops images with no gaps on the top and bottom. So it looks exactly how I want it to when I only use 4x1 widgets but when I use more than one widget on the same row it leaves a gap on the left and right sides of each widget.

sorry for the late response...by gap do you mean visual gap or space that you cant click? (like a blank unused icon space)
that setup is very simple
use an app like photoshop to design the layout as a background...then use blank icons as mentioned previously
the most difficult part of the entire thing is going to be getting the spacing right...but that you can done in a matter of minutes
Is this at all possible?
I really like the 4.1.2 lockscreen however i want to see the live wallpaper i'm using on my homescreen, without the use of 3rd party lockers. Can this be done?
It is possible to put a transparent wall paper, but I dont think you will see through it to the next layer like ur prolly thinking.

If you set both lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper at the same time (3rd option in the settings when you long press on the home screen) the option to use live wallpaper is offered. It will show on the lockscreen.

feeling a little better now LOL my only gripe is that the ripple doesn't work in combo with lwp. oh well.
Another happy new Mix owner here. Given that the main feature of this phone is the bezel-less screen, this makes the home screen layout and wallpaper choice particularly significant to the overall effect.
I usually go for something dark but in this case I have gone for bright and minimalist to bring out the edges of the screen.
What are others doing?
Love the Clock, Is it part of a theme or standalone?
It's a zooper widget from King Rollo collection.

I'm using the icon pack Clix, you should find it on the playstore
Here's mine - Using TSF launcher, shame it no longer seems to be supported, but it's an awesome super smooth launcher with Elun icon pack. The clock is a TSF animated widget.

Some of my screens, using c locker for my lock screen and it has my personal info so not sharing that.
Wall paper is a live wallpaper I set up for water ripple effect.
Home bottom got cut off a bit when I took screen shot, it's should be full screen. And should be no notification bar on top also.
...i need a better way to snap screenshot
Hi,

it took some time but it works, took the screen shot but the notification bar should be hidden
I'm new to android modding (its been 2 tough years with a company phone being an iphone 6 and 6s+) can I use an icon pack without using the entire launcher? I like miui - I just hate that they round the icons and I have no idea how to turn that off without an icon pack
Does anyone know if it's possible to fit more icons on the Pixel XL home screen or on the dock. Changing dpi doesn't do it for me, nor does changing the font size
Thanks

Use a different launcher like nova. There you can change the grid and the dock.

How many do you want? Any more than 4 + the app drawer is too many for me anyway.

At least 5 on the home screen, and 6 on the dock. I want to avoid using another launcher, I quite like the flow of the Pixel launcher

Fair enough, but I think you're out of options. Nothing's as intuitive as Nova for me anyway and the ton of custom options are always nice.

That's weeks. Changing the dpi allows me to have more icons on my home screen with pixel launcher. I'm on stock system with some of my own mods. See picture below. I didn't change anything with the launcher. Only the dpi.

I tried changing it 700 and still couldn't get it done. Even if it worked it'll come at an expense of smaller fonts and requires a magnifying glass.

Wrong direction with the numbers lol. That's why it won't work for you. You need to change you're dpi to something like 493 or 500. That will get you the desired effect. You can also go into display setting and pick the smallest screen size option and that will lower the dpi to roughly 500.
Wallpaper
Where did you find a that wallpaper? It's so good.
