need a app that reverts the app tray to 4 rows

I want to see if anyone else finds the app trays too crowded. Can this be edited on the prop build or something

You can download another launcher and change it there.

I recommend Holo Launcher. It's exactly the same as the stock launcher, but it has much more options and customisability.. including app drawer options and transitions and stuff.
It looks way too empty with 4x4 rows though in my opinion:

Nova launcher let's you do this. I switched it down too as I also felt it was too crowded.

nova, apex, go, I think almost any third party launcher will let you do it.

Pretty much what everybody else said. If recommend nova or apex.

Launchers and themes

What does everyone use for launchers? Any one have a good minimalistic theme? I'm running xylon11

Only "stock" launcher I use on GNex

I really really like nova. I know some have mixed opinions about it but it serves Me well. Also I just started making custom wallpapers for xylon . I go pretty minimal. One screen and folders with circle click widget and Bob click and nice wallpaper. That's about all I can say on that topic.

I use Nova Launcher Prime. the customization level is very high and I like a lot the gesture function toghether with the ROM actions ..
Maybe the negative thing is the ram occupation.

I'm using silky smooth Xperia launcher. But usually ADW Ex. It is amazing. He just updated maybe 2 months ago. Very tablety.

Poll: which launcher do you use for the Optimus G Pro

This phone is a beast! And it has many features that other phones lack. So, a particular launcher for one phone might not be best for our phone.
So, which is it? Which one are you using?
(in no particular order)
GO
Nova
Apex
ADW
Smart
Action
NEXT
None
Unsure
Other: please list which one...
If you have a strong feeling for or against one or more, please tell why. And yes, I have read that one of those named above is possibly a spyware program for a non-US entity.

I have used NEXT, Apex and Nova but I keep going back to the stock launcher. Not a ton of extra features but has always been nice and snappy for me.

I like Nova. It's smooth and has great features. It's lacking in the scrolling effects though.

Stock launcher. Haven't felt a need to convert since it has all the features I used on other launchers. Normally I'm switching between apex and nova launcher. Holo launcher used to be in the mix as well.

Stock. I'll try an aftermarket launcher every once and awhile but always go back to stock. It just feels. Snappier.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Stock...snappier and cleaner

Stock
Smooth, cool, rich

Nova Prime-I prefer the Vanilla Android look. It's also very responsive and lets me hide apps in the app drawer.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have the paid (Prime) version. Thanks @natienn for reminding me.

Nova Prime!!!!!!

Nova Prime. I like downloadable icons packs and a vertically scrolling app drawer.

I've always used the Apex launcher but the stock is so much better with this phone.

I use the Stock Launcher. While I do own both Apex and Nova paid versions, I really like the Stock widgets and that I can change the icons to whatever I want.

Nova launcher Prime works flawlessy on this phone. Love that I can make the notification bar disappear along with shadow up top. Very customizable. Never any slowdown. I have everything set to lightning fast transitions.

[APP][Launcher] Solo Launcher

Hi (EG4T?) community, I like to share possibility the best launcher out there, especially the features it has and the price point.... FREE. Solo Launcher basically has all the features of Apex and Nova Pro but it improves on some of them.

Thanks again for pointing this out, bro.
Can it handle large grid sizes like Nova (>10 x 10)? Also, wondering if you can overlap widgets, and have the option to have the dock as overlay. Those are must haves on my list. I couldn't tell from the vid.
Looks like I might have hijacked your posts. Let me know if you want me to move this and delete the original.

They openly take requests in the app reviews (or I think you can email the dev), but I don't think its in there for the most part.
As for the grid size....
Edit: they do have dock as overlay option, but they don't have overlapping widgets yet

Nice. With all the apps I buy, it'll be nice to see a free one do the job well.
Edit: Is that green, beveled border in the screenshot integrated in the launcher, or is that the glass mod from jellyverse? If the latter, that's a huge plus, as it does not work with Apex or Nova. If the former, then that's just frickin awesome.

[Launcher] Discussion thread

Hey guys, i haven't seen a launcher thread, but everybody is using launchers
So let's discuss which launchers you use, and tell us why.
Say something about the costumization options, the performance and, if there is a big battery drain because of it, tell us that to
Also you can post your homescreens (but remember that there is a homescreen-thread too!)

I went with gel launcher as I find it easier to spot big icons.
Also Google now is something I use all the time.

I'm using too

Action launcher 3 here. Love it.

I always go back to Nova.

Apex Launcher. Fast. Smooth. Plenty of customization.

Unconventional but for me Lollipop Launcher wins because of it's small footprint (both size and memory).

for me is nova launcher also for my phone/tablet. fast (ish on galaxy tab 2 when switching from portait to landscape due to widgets) but tone of customization. also love the backup to drive option(good when playing with different roms). for my android box (cheap oem Chinese android box) i use action launcher. in my opinion is the best and fastest way to find an app of the app drawer on the left using mouse scroll. i wouldn't change it for anything else, except maybe something tv ready??? and light/smooth. if someone has any recommendation for tv box launchers i am very intersted to hear it

Nova launcher my favorite!
