Just bought a Nexus 7 2013, but I am unable to delete extra screen. Does anyone know how to delete screens?
I have been an Android user for awhile and I always had option to manage my screen, this is the first time Im unable to manage my screen.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
If you are referring to the new KitKat launcher, then you have to remove all of the content from the screen. Annoying....very.

I have the same problem, I have removed all icons on the extra page and it is still there, anyone know a solution for that?

Give me a minute...
Edit: Strange...I removed all of the icons and the widgets from the page, and it is deleted instantly. Are you trying to remove the screen on the far right, or is it one in between?
Edit: The position of the screen doesn't seem to matter. Not sure what to problem is, guys...

There are five by default screens and you cannot remove any of them.

My bad. I never asked which launcher. I assumed that this was in reference to the GEL Launcher.
To the OP, why not use Apex or Nova launcher? It looks EXACTLY the same until you customize it, and it allows you to manage your screens. For that matter, I don't recall if the default launcher ever mellowed you to manage your screens since it's introduction in ICS.

Soooo is there a way besides getting an after market launcher like adw or launcher pro to minimize screens on the stock launcher? I know it comes with like 7, but is there a way to maybe edit the file or am I just stuck with 7 or another launcher?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think so, I know this has been asked in many places around xda and I don't think anyone has but I might be wrong. Infact I'm bored so I'm going to try and prove my self wrong and find a stock launcher mod with less than 7 home screens.
Back soon

Here Launcher.apk pulled from nexus s, stock gb launcher with 5 home screens. Works with desire z/G I tried it.
Just checked this out, BRD launcher, 7 x 6 grid with resizable widgets and modded pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390935
Just wondering if anyone could mod the stock launcher to have a 10x10 layout and resizable widgets, possibly with and without the Google search. (or 9x10 if necessary). This is really the only thing I'm looking to change with the stock launcher.. Is anyone willing to give this a shot?
edit:
Yes I know this can be done easily with a home replacement, just wondering if anyone would be interested with the stock launcher. I've used LauncherPro religiously on previous phones, but I'm really liking the stock launcher on this phone..
Bump, because I don't even see this in the forum

Nova launcher and home launcher are basically the stock launcher and can do this

I'm on stock 4.1.1 and am wondering if there's a patch to change the number of home screens? I appreciate this is not part of stock and that I should use a launcher for better control, but I just happen to like stock.
Thanks
You're stuck with 5 screens unless you wanna use another launcher.

Thought as much. I'll try to manage the horror that is 5 screens.
Does anyone know if someone has brought the "swipe left-google now" feature from the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 7. i was playing around with the nexus 5 at BB and noticed when i swipe left from the main homescreen it opens now full screen, kinda like how the iphone goes to the search screen.

Lol why replace the ROM when its just a launcher. Kinda over kill
Check out this thread. The second link has the latest version.
Download Epic Launcher on Play Store. I'm using it now , it can use the icon pack for Apex/Nova Launcher.
Great! Something new to check out.

Installed Google Search= v 3.1.24.941712 on my Nexus 7 (2013).
Minor bug: There is one less row and one less column, so stuff disappears.
Major bug: The rightmost shortcut on bottom dock will disappear after restart or stopping the Google Search service.

Is this any different than the GEL that I've been running on my N7 for the last month?!

Bug fixes, better preformamce, code cleaned, new cards, those are on the search app, the home app just call GEL from search app but may have some changes too.

I installed the GEL launcher then I added a google now widget to the desktop. When I click on the widget, it prompted me to install google now. After that I had the swipe-left google now. After I got it working, I removed the google now widget.
this feature works perfectly with Google Experience Launcher on my Nexus 7, i'm only worried about the "OKAY GOOGLE" listening thing......it might kill my battery
I am typically a big Nova Prime Launcher guy. But trying a launcher on this M8 didn't feel right for some reason. It took away the beauty of the One or something.
I am running a custom ROM with tweaks, as well as Sense 6 Alpha toolbox xposed framework.
But think I'll hold off on a launcher for awhile, and enjoy Sense.
Anyone else ?

I thought the same thing, was a adw ex user on my evo. Probably won't use a launcher until I get sick of sense when cm variations come into the game with stability.

I don't enjoy really anything about sense. Using the Google now launcher.
How do I install the Google Now Launcher ? When I look it up, says my device is not compatible.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So far I'm sticking with the stock Sense, but will likely go back to using Apex at some point.
Does motion gestures still work to unlock screen with Google launcher?

I completely agree about wanting to use sense...the issues for me are:
-hard to back up and restore the homescreen for sense
-not as many customization and gestures
-doesnt show notifications on custom apps like nova does.
I do think that sense has really upped their game in design
Using apex with a shortcut to blinkfeed. Like it a lot.

Sense is a lot better than some of the other OEM options, but still the first thing I installed when I got my One was Nova Prime. I've just gotten so used to all of the customisations I can (and want to) do with Nova that the experience without it just feels off.
For starters, I lose my swipe/tap gestures on the homescreen which I've now developed muscle memory for.

It's not hard to backup and restore the homescreens for sense. I use titanium backup for that and backup BlinkFeed (homescreens). This will backup your homescreens the way you have them.

I used Nova Prime on my EVO 4G LTE and EVO 3D before that... but am still using Sense 6 on my M8. Although I absolutely love Nova and got really comfortable with all the gestures and other customizations I had set up, I decided I'd run Sense 6 until I get bored of it. Another thing is that I actually like the Sense widgets and was always a bit bummed that I had to download alternatives to use in Nova.
Used the Google experience launcher on note 3 but haven't felt the need with the m8
