Is there a way to change the grid size with the stock TW launcher? I'm not rooted yet but I would root to get this done. I don't want to install a custom recovery and trip knox though. So much screen size and a 4x4 grid is absurd.
Also, is there a way to get rid of the "page indicator" that takes up as much space as a 4x1 widget? Also a waste of space.
If I go to a different launcher what features, apps or widgets would I loose access to? I know the S-pen and its apps/features will still work.
Maybe TW just isn't for me after being on CM for so long.

Not without rooting. Domt know if there is an xposed module for that or not. You may have to decompile the launcher apk to change it.
Different launchers would just lose Samsung specific widgets like weather and memo and such.

I can't find the exact one I used but it was basically the same thing as this. Must be rooted.

Edit- This is the one I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579686
Even before I rooted, I switched to the Nova Launcher. I put a TW Launcher button on one of the secondary screens so I could switch back for any Specific TW launcher type items, but never use it.

Hello,
I'm thinking about changinch touchwiz on my samsung, I was thinking about nova launcher or Apex. I have several questions:
a) how about performance? Is it better with different launcher?
b) will some of feature of touchwizz remians, for example Smart Stay, SMS/Dial swipe or taskmanager?
c) will it be possible to revert to touchwizz without flashing rom?
regards

Just download and install each launcher, you can have all 3 installed at the same time. Just make sure you don't select "Always" when you click the home button before you have made a decision of which homescreen you want to use.
I like Apex, it works awesome has ICS look like screen, has transitions so you can cube in and out between homescreens .. adds some pizazz and makes iphone users jealous
set them all up, play between them, decide which one you like the best and stick with it.
I personally use Apex (free version still) and have removed Trebuchet completely. In Apex holding down on the icons you can rename them move them, easy to create/add widgets and resize.
I've used Nova before but just like Apex better overall.
How about samsung stock applications and features? Like muting after flipping phone etc? I won't lie, the only thing I'm missing is the possibility of resizing widgets and customization of status bar. If only it was available on stock firmware

Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/themes-apps/4x5-touchwiz-home-t2910243
The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible
I've searched all over the place and can't seem to find a solid answer.
Is there any way to hide the icon text on the home screen in the stock launcher without using a 3rd party launcher? I've seen some modded TW launchers that change grid size, but nothing regarding the icon labels on the home screen.
I did see that someone here on XDA made an Xposed module that can accomplish this but it didn't work unfortunately. I also checked Wanam Xposed and didn't see an option there either.
Thanks!
I suppose this isn't possible then?
Sorry if this has been asked. I've looked high and low found them on other carrier note 4 forums and even tried them with our verizon note 4. But I can't find any made for our note 4. I'm looking to change my grid size from stock 4x4 to 5x5 or 6x6 anything other then stock. I know I can use Nova or some other 3rd party launcher but that's not what I'm trying to get here. I have a retail note 4 converted to a developer edition and flashed every rom that we have in our forum I always find my way back to jasmine rom. it's all but stock then I add my xposed and tweet it to my liking but now I would like to get more use of my 5.7 inch screen other then what samsung wants me to use. I just hate 4x4 gid so much valuable room wasted. Like I said I tried the other grid packs from sprint and t-mobile but once there in they bug out so I'm hoping someone has made them for our verizon note 4. Any help would be great and thanks for taking the time to try and help..

I'm looking for this as well, has anyone found a 5x5? 6x6?
I could be wrong, but I believe that you can accomplish this by changing the default DPI to something different, while also changing the launcher to something like Google Now. When I flashed CM13, my DPI was different and I got rows of 5 apps by default with the Google Now Launcher.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you would like this feature with the stock launcher. Not sure then.

Thanks for the reply, but yeah, looking for this in TouchWiz. I currently use Nova which is a great launcher, but I miss having a few of the TW only widgets.

Try Next launcher 3D shell. Google it or get it off blackmart. It works with stock widgets. It's what I use and I like it. just don't use there widgets or turn on the 3D part.

Would it be possible to do something like that? The 4x4 grid is what I hate the most about Sense Home, and one of the only things that I dislike about it. Apparently, you can now get something like 6x5 if you change the display size to small.. but that's way too small for me to use.
Would changing the DPI work? I mean, I just can't understand. Many other launchers work with larger grids from default. And the U11 does have a larger grid by default. It's rather frustrating.

wherever you got that from i recommend you go ask them. otherwise the only way I am away is either a 3rd party launcher like nova, which i use all the time! or using a custom ROM that has a modded sense home
