Have fun, looking forward to seeing everyone's screenshots!

Almost a year on and I upgraded to 4g with SD card. Awesome phone still.
Just added themer and these were templates I downloaded via the app. Pretty cool though. Top work to the creators.

Nova launcher and Flatro icons. I haven't figured out how to make the navigation bar transparent yet. The status bar is made transparent and KitKat icons used in place of the stock ones using gravitybox.

Scrap that, I've sorted the navigation bar transparency, there's a small glitch in gravitybox, the navigation bar won't go transparent until you have pulled down the notification bar once.

How have you been able to change dpi settings? Is root necessary ?

Yes you do need root. Easiest way of doing it is by using an app like Texdroider DPI, available through the Play Store.
@terminal 7 good idea, changing the dpi.
root .. yep

yes root is required, various apps then deal with full system dpi change ie- ROM TOOLBOX which has an array of tools and is suited to newer roms, some older apps mess up jelly bean build.prop and cause boot loop so take care with the app you use.
for more control over individual app dpi just install the XPOSED FRAMEWORK and once installed go through the list of available modules that are downloadable from the main xposed app and look for APP SETTINGS module, you get a much better level of control similar to the way paranoid android roms let you change individual apps.
enjoy.

This is what I did currently.
I modded the lockscreen, so that music widget is transparent and (more important) those annoying white grips at the side, when you turn on the screen, are gone.
The Launcher is Nova 2.3beta with semi-transparent navbar, plus I modded the SystemUI.apk for semi-transparent status bar and swapped Back/Recent buttons.
Widgets are Anton's Kalender Widget, Gotasks (with heavily modded app and transparent widget) and Eye in sky weather.
Setup of Nova is no-Dock and 7x5 grid. Background is FiveWallpapers from market with 4 different pictures for 4 homescreens.

Thanks a lot. I am a kind of a newbie with all those things. Im a bit scared of rooting my moto G ans loose my warranty. I've already done this with my nexus 10, but idk, i need tout try... Haha
I was playing around with several icon sets, but they never support ALL icons which looks odd, so I keep the default icons.
Launcher: Action Launcher Pro

Okay so I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the DPI for the S4. What does everyone consider to be the best DPI for the S4? Is there an easy way to change the DPI in cyanogenmod? I am currently using Infamous v5 with 340 DPI. I like the the fact there are more icons on the screena and such but it does look a bit off. Also is there a way to change the DPI per app, to fix some of the apps issues that come up?

1) I like 360, but some apps I will go down to 340.
2) In CyanogenMod you can still use the Xposed Framework and Per-App DPI settings using the App Settings module.
3) As for the icons, in your launcher make your grid larger, I use 7 columns and 6 rows at 360 DPI with 95% icon size and it looks amazing. All in Apex Launcher for me.

I have heard of issues for certain apps not showing up in the Play Store, is that a recurring problem?
Kinda dumb question, I have been trying to find a clear and easy way to install Xposed Framework on The Cyanogenmod Nightly on my S4, any suggestions or links you could send my way?

This is 4.4 KitKat Launcher without Google Now integration. Extracted from Paranoid Android AOSP 4.4 Rom. You can install as normal APK.
This Launcher will be helpful who don't want to use hotword detection and Gnow integration as they are increase battery usage so much.
Also there is no need to change LCD density for 5x5 app drawer layout.
Works great for me thanks.
Do we need to replace & install it with root explorer adding premissions, or just like normal apk?

You don't need to flash modified framework zip as Google already did for Nexus4 on 4.4.1. Just flash latest 4.4.1 OTA and install Launcher3 as normal apk. You will have translucent nav and status bar on both Lock Screen and Home screen.
Will this launcher replace original one or just be installed like nova for example?
Installed it like any other apk. transparecy is cool but icons are too big, thanx anyway.

The icons looks little blurred when the dpi is set to 180. Do we have any workaround to correct it? The icons are displayed properly with Nova, but not with Google Now Launcher and Launcher3.
Works great for me thanks.
I'm recreating the apk file with material design. I'll make a download link available if it works.

Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.
On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?
I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies
The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.
I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

currently we just can set the lockscreen wallpaper only. Even using the 3rd party launcher, we cannot set the wallpapers...
I really don't get this from amazon, this is 2014 , and we still cannot just customize the wallpaper ? ha ha
Use Vire Launcher.

Vire launcher does not let you change wallpapers... You can change the theme and the background will change with it, but you can't change to custom backgrounds...
Unless someone else found a way to do so?

Buzz launcher offers full custom background support, and makes it feel more like an android device. Also, if you haven't already, get the playstore... None of this requires a root. Instructions are here:

Still better than the terrible stock Fire Launcher though... And all the launchers that DO support widgets are stuck with an UGLY plain black background! At the moment, buzz launcher is the best option, until someone either develops a new launcher, or updates an existing one to make the "background" to not be dependent on the system background, but rather be an image placed ON TOP of said background. This would in effect bypass the whole "No background" problem.

Once I installed the Google Launcher and playstore I didn't feel held back anymore from the phone and switched back to the Amazon Launcher. It's my preferred launcher now. I recommend everyone give it a true shot. I just wish they gave us an option out of the box as I feel more people would have tried it out then.
Default wallpaper is cool, i think its not necesary to change it

You can change your background now if you have updated to version 4.6.1 You can choose from some wallpapers or your own photo. If not, then try Buzz Launcher, which is the only launcher that i've found so far that has a customizable background. Hope this helps!
I am using nova launcher prime 4.0.1 I think and I have wallpapers/widgets working.
Google Now launch lets you change wallpapers and most widgets seem to work fine.

The 5x5 or 4x4 grid is DPI-related and currently works functionally identical to the Pixel. If you want to change it, change your own DPI.
