recently installed cyanogenmod onto my note ii but now i see applications are aligned in 4 column as opposed to 5 column it used to be. Is there a way to configure it so that it is 5 columns? THanks
Depends on your launcher. Cyanogen mod's stock is called trebuchet and to change it go to settings/homescreen/grid size
Thanks so much. It works at least for home screen now. Made it 5 column. Apps area still figured it out yet.

do i miss some thing ? the options to get - 7 and even more will be nice...
There are enough launchers in the market that will let you have as many homescreens as you like.
And with API 14 all of them should have hardware acceleration.

i know, but still its really Disappoint
BTW: hi Friend, long time no see (its you?)
Why is it so disappointing? Android launcher has never had more than 5 screens.
For me personally, i have a hard enough time filling 5 screens with functionality. 7 would be insane haha.
And how can you really need 7? i myself use 2 HS

I only use 4 homescreens myself too. Still, once the ICS source is released, I'm sure many launcher replacements based on the ICS launcher will pop up with added features. It happened with Launcher Pro and ADW launcher, after all.
I use 7 screens as well.
If the 3rd party launchers do not work to my liking with ICS, I will learn to adjust.

2 is plenty for me, I like clean an minimal. 2 weather Widgets on one screen and Google search and music widget on the other then my regularly used apps go into folders in adw dock. I hope we can reduce the amount of screens if anything to continue this set up on my nexus when it arrives.

I use 4 homescreens but I'll probably only need 3 with ICS since I'll be using a few folders which I didn't do with gingerbread. I realized that when I was shortly on a miui rom and the folders were really helpful to categorize apps and the miui folders worked and looked like they supposed to, just like in ICS now.
I only use 3 but I can use 5 but the widgets to fill them up aren't as useful as if I just had 3
Between the click of the light and the start of a dream.

You won't even need a Google search widget anymore
I use between 3 and 5 homescreens, depending on the ROM (power buttons included/not included in notification area for example) and my current theme. So 5 screens on ICS launcher will be perfect for me, although I'll probably get tired of the launcher and switch to a more customizable eventually
I only use 3 homescreen, enough for me.
Why do you want 7 when you (probably) wont use the 2 on each side much?
5 screens is more than enough, I have been fine with just 3 screens the last couple of years, going to 4th or 5th screen it too far away in my opinion, just easier to use the app drawer at that point.

Don't forget u can just drag like apps or whatever u want on top of each other and it automatically creates very functional folders!

I only use 1 homescreen.

I use 3 homescreens, and even with those 3 I don't even use 1/2 of the apps on a regular basis. With the new improved folder UI, I see myself being just fine with 2 or 3 homescreens.
I must admit I actually use 4 1/2 screens on my HD2. 2 of those screens are used by full screen widgets for twitter and facebook, my Homescreen is packed with various calendar, notes widgets and shortcuts adn the other 2 are just filled with junk.
With the new widgets that ICS brings I can condense all my calendar widgets into a single smaller widget and the new folder function will tidy ALOT of my various shortcuts into accessible groups.
5 screens is more than enough unless you have several full screen widgets you wish to use and even then with the pixel density and resizable widget function of ICS im sure you will cope
Just remember that the more widgets you have running on the Homescreen the more it will slow up the scrolling and overall speed, Why do you think apple never introduced widgets into IOS and look how smoothly that flows.
Mark.
by the time you get to the 7th screen it would have been faster to just open the app drawer.
Is there a way to add more widges on the home screen? I want a google search widget between my clock and my app icons. There is definitely room but it wont let me add it.Thanks
The only way is to switch to another launcher (like Nova) that allows you to increase the vertical&horizontal grid size.

Like zmore said, try nova(my personal fav) or apex.

I've been an avid lover of "Go Launcher EX". With a screen this big, adding an extra row and going 5 wide helps out. Just take a solid hour and try out all the different launchers. IMHO I was never sold sold on touchwiz, dumped it the very first five minutes I owned the SGS1.
Try running 'Multicon' widget. It allows you to display 4 icons in the space 1 icon normally uses. Seems to work great for me.

Does anyone know of a launcher without home screens (just the app drawer) that is compatible with the nexus 7?
I`ve used mihome on my galaxy Ace and somehow it is incompatible. I'm not an apple fanboy but i just like my devices to go to the app drawer immediately.
Any tips? Thanks.

Like iLauncher? iOS clone.

Why don't you just add the apps to your homescreen? Using Apex and setting your columns and rows to 10X10 you should be able to fit a bunch on your homescreen.

Have a large grid and put everything on the home screen. And when you install apps from the play store they'll just be added to the home screen.

Why Didn't I Think of That? lol. Thanks for the tips!:highfive:
ssLauncher. Put anything on your home scrreen. Has an "app drawer" page that can be list or grid. Can hide any apps in app drawer. Can delete all your other screens. Can place icons anywhere (no grid) with auto align feature. Got it "free" with my play money, but well worth $3.69, try the free version first.
I shifted from Note to Note II, The display grid of N7000 is much better than N7100 where you have the liberty to add 5 icons in a row where are Note 2 has a room for standard 4 icons. The space on the screen seems under utilized since the icons are far apart. 5 icons can be easily kept on the screen. It will give better look as well as greater usability.

well do a bit of search there are lot of mods all around which can help you to do that search for touchwiz launcher modded by balagamer or find launcher changer in assasins rom thread or try out the custom rom phoenix with 240dpi and see what beast u have in your hand u can even use nova launcher if you wish to sacrifice touchwiz
What's up everyone! Hope yall love your note 4 as much as I do. I'm curious about how your setting up your homescreen. I really don't know where to begin as I want to take advantage of this screen and have something great to look at. Post your homescreen here.
Here's my home screen for now. I use nova launcher and ultimately I'll be changing the amount of rows and columns but I don't know what else to put on there yet!

Dude, that almost looks 3D.
Simplicity. Smart Launcher Pro and some wallpaper I found online.
I got nothing on my home home screen but the time. I like things simple. With my guitar too

I much rather wait for root too be enabled before this phone really is optimized. It's really missing this. Badly, i had root with my note 3,fully awesome. I had all the best of the note 4 apps, the s5 and the other apk files, I had hooked up. No custom rom. It's just lacking at the moment. The note 4 is super besides that. I'm running GO LAUNCHER EX, cherry g pro icon Pack. Its dry up awesomely. Yes I paid the 20 bucks to unlock all the features, even for the GO LOCKER.
