I am trying to finish phone setup, its a Note 3 unlocked from att and rooted. Kept having touchwiz problems and found this great launcher but it keeps crashing when trying to add widgets like a clock or sound/mute and others. When I add a widget it comes up 'nova launcher stopped working' and any earlier widgets added are corrupted or messed up.
Really want to stay with Nova prime as the grid setups are very good. Thanks for any reply.

I need a launcher that is very customizable like ADW or GoLauncher. I tried both of them and for some reason they both had the same problem; when the screen rotates to landscape it jumps to the far right screen instead of staying on the screen I'm on.
Does anyone have any good launchers that are working properly on ICS? I also tried Nova launcher but its not customizable enough. I'm going to try launcher pro now and will report back if it works.
OK so I tried LauncherPro and same problem. This led me to investigate and I beleive I narrowed it down to the calendar widget. No matter what screen I'm on, when I rotate screen it automatically jumps to the screen with the calendar widget. Annoying...
you gotta give devs some time to adjust to the screen/ics etc. I would play around with the current flashable ones and wait for a major update that brings lots of customization options
ps have you tried adw ex?
I use adw ex.works flawlessly.I prefer stock though,its awesome!

Go works fine.
Go has always been my first choice. However, now with the Gnex and having folders pop down from the Top of the screen has made accessing apps really difficult with one hand. Because of that one issue, I went to Adw Launcher. That works great too.
Been using ADW Ex since day 1. Working flawlessly
After using ADW it's impossible to go back to anything else....
Ultimately I'd like the stock ICS with rotation and that stupid Google search removed but until the mods on here have their bugs ironed out I’m using GO.
My only bad point on GO is scrollable widgets you have to pause your finger on them a sec then scroll. (Is there a setting in there to fix this?) I like the stock responsiveness where you can swing between screens and flick apps around instantly.

I started using it on day 2 . With only one home screen, one clock, one weather widget, a 5 icons dock and three folders, I'm done.
I'm using Nova launcher, it's stock with a very nice twist.
GO completely locked me up and caused reboots to the point that i had to reimage back to stock.

Zeam Launcher is the best!

Another Vote for Nova
I really like the ICS experience, and Nova allows me to keep that with options (including backup via Titanium & homescreen rotation)

Yup, been using Nova since last night. Takes something good and makes it great.
I used LPP on my OG, DX, DX2, RAZR cuz no matter what I did the stock Moto launcher was always a bit laggy. I kept the modded Rosie on my TB cuz it looked lol. And Nowthe GNex ICS launcher was almost perfect to me until Nova came along

Caveat: This is by no means meant as a disrespect to the amazing devs behind ADW, LP and Go EX.
when I got my hands on the GN, i was hooked on to the Android 4.0 look and feel. Previously alternative launchers were needed because (a) Android used to be ugly and (b) stock widgets sucked.
All that has changed now. I cannot bring myself to use anything but the stock launcher. However, I WILL like it if (a) I can utilize the space occupied by the stupid Google widget - its not a widget at all but a shortcut, a complete waste of space and (b) homescreens would be increased from 5. All those wonderful widgets need more space.
I don't want to root, although I have a feeling CM9 will have what I am asking for. In the meantime, I am testing out Nova.
I got the a note II international version 2 days back. Pretty happy about it. Rooted it. Didn't like the tw launcher. Never liked it. Installed adwex launcher latest version. Everything work fine, except I can't seem to put the accuweather widget on the home screen, cos I can't find it in the widget selections. It's therer though in the touchwiz launcher. Also the digital clock seems to be a bit cut off on the left side in portrait mode. No amount of resizing helps.
Any clue people?
I found this link that will allow flashing of the GS5 Touchwiz launcher and Accuweather widget for non-TW Roms. I'm test driving now with SlimKat 4.4.3. Two things to note:
There are separate downloads on separate posts on that thread for the launcher and the weather widget.
I had to use this process to remove the error "Not installed with permissions needed for binding widgets" when trying to put the Aqua Mail counter on my home screen.
Be sure to thank the developers on those sites.
Probably goes without saying, but make sure you do a Nandroid backup before flashing. I saw where one person got stuck in bootloader after flashing.
The one issue I've found is that the menu function doesn't seem to work with this launcher -- can't change number of screens or which one is the home screen...unless I'm missing something.
There is a launcher in play store called Galaxy launcher which is basically what you are talking about. It gives you a lot of customization options and its pretty cool. I have used it for a while and I can say its pretty good.

Yeah, there are a few out there. The one drawback is that the GS5 accuweather widget linked above requires an actual Touchwiz launcher. The S5 launcher above is a little buggy. Some S4 launchers and widgets are available here. The S4 launchers will support the S5 widget.
Friend i could not put in my rom based stock 4.4.2.....you will know why
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.

I picked up my replacement Note 7 yesterday and set it all up last night. Downloaded all my apps and set my home screen up. I use Google Now Launcher, and always have had the Weather & Clock Widget on my front screen. This worked just fine last night, and this morning after the update the widget disappeared. When I went into the widgets section, the only thing there now is just "Weather" which is a huge 5x2 widget that looks ridiculous IMO. The 5x1 Clock was so much better, and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this when they did the OTA update this morning.
I know that this used to be common to have these widgets disappear when you download a new launcher, but the Note 5, S7 Edge, and Note 7 all worked just fine with this setup. I may have to go back to touch wiz and just put the google now widget on a screen to the left of home, but I'd love to be able to keep the now launcher.
Thank you!

I got the same issue. Hope there is a fix as I prefer the 5x1
I may go back to touchwiz for a while until/if it comes back to now launcher. The one weather widget that is available is oversized and just an eyesore.
Never mind, thought you were referring to different widget..
