From what I understand, Launcher is the stock GEL (Google Experience Launcher) and Launcher3 is CM's variant of the same.

Request - Launcher 5X5, no search bar and 1 home screen for JB

I have looked and found many custom home screen launchers for JB, but none matching what I would like.
I am looking for a 5X5, no search bar and 1 home screen for JB. If someone could make this for me I would be thankful. Thanks in advance.

I know they both work, but tend to not be as fast as the stock launcher.

Just make sure in apex that the app drawer is not transparent and all lag goes away

If someone can direct me how to remove the search bar in the xml file ill do it. I still havent figured out how to do it successfully.
And i agree, the stock launcher in JB is much smoother/nicer than nova/apex

Nova Launcher vs Apex Launcher

For those of you who have tried both, which one is faster, smoother and more responsive?
Nova seems to be the fastest if you change the scroll and animation speed but unlike Nova, Apex offers some basic swipe gestures without needing to pay for the pro version.

Thanks. I'm willing to shell out $4 for the pro version of either launcher.

Thanks. Btw, if you install a 3rd party launcher, do you lose the "Motion" functions in Touchwiz and the swipe to text or call in contacts?

No... If I am guessing we are thinking same features... Nova prime is really good stuff. You can change theme colors and has tons of swipe features....

Anyone know how to get the stock TouchWiz clock with weather back with Nova?

the latest nova beta is based off the jellybean launcher and is fantastic. on cm10, it's absolutely the fastest and most fluid launcher i've ever used. i bought the pro version and have not regretted it. there are more gesture options than Apex the last time i checked.
i've had both and i find nova to be smoother than apex. too bad i paid for the pro version of apex which i loved on the GS2.
This may have been answered elsewhere, so I apologize if it has.
Do y'all know if icon packs for Apex (specifically the flat icon pack) work in Nova? I'm willing to hand over the $1 for an icon pack, but only if I know it will work with my launcher.

Icons made specifically for Apex won't work...such as the flat icons by mitchs.co
I know this because I have the same set. The only option is to get the ADW or Go Theme set but those aren't as up to date like the Apex one

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll just buy the .zip straight from mitchs.
Gonna have to side with Apex. Best launcher available.
Another vote here for Nova Prime.

Also, Nova supports icon packs from multiple launchers. I've had zero problems with Lustre.
Nova.... You can theme it too.

Theme Icons On Lockscreen

Is there a way to theme the icons on the lockscreen without root? Couldn't find much on Google but I hate the stock icons

Sorry dude.. the only way you change icons is if you use a 3rd party launcher that allows you to change. Check out Google Launcher, Apex and or Nova :good:

If you change the icons on your apps menu and use those shortcuts on your lockscreen.. won't that work? What icons on the lockscreen do you want to change?

Anyone running Nova Primeyet?

How is it running on ze Pixel?
On mine is running great. I had no problems since day 1.

Works like a champ.

So far so good with me. I tried the Pixel launcher for a bit, but reverted back to Nova.

But you still lose the home screen icon long-press shortcuts right? I'd also imagine you lose the weather widget.

It's like that with any launcher specific features. I personally use Beautiful Widgets with Nova Prime.

Nova still have a google widget although it doesn't have the weather... Not a huge issue tbh. Long press shortcuts are missing which is a pity but I reckon they'll implement them soon anyway.
