ive tried almost all the launchers available in the play store and the problem is that the icons get rearranges in automatically when any new launcher is installed is there a way by which the launcher can adopt the deafult set of placements of the icons which are placed originally???

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.
Im not usein be launcher its the deafult i want the launcher 2 adopt my deafult icon set

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

Okay so I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the DPI for the S4. What does everyone consider to be the best DPI for the S4? Is there an easy way to change the DPI in cyanogenmod? I am currently using Infamous v5 with 340 DPI. I like the the fact there are more icons on the screena and such but it does look a bit off. Also is there a way to change the DPI per app, to fix some of the apps issues that come up?

1) I like 360, but some apps I will go down to 340.
2) In CyanogenMod you can still use the Xposed Framework and Per-App DPI settings using the App Settings module.
3) As for the icons, in your launcher make your grid larger, I use 7 columns and 6 rows at 360 DPI with 95% icon size and it looks amazing. All in Apex Launcher for me.

I have heard of issues for certain apps not showing up in the Play Store, is that a recurring problem?
Kinda dumb question, I have been trying to find a clear and easy way to install Xposed Framework on The Cyanogenmod Nightly on my S4, any suggestions or links you could send my way?

Nova launcher and Flatro icons. I haven't figured out how to make the navigation bar transparent yet. The status bar is made transparent and KitKat icons used in place of the stock ones using gravitybox.

Scrap that, I've sorted the navigation bar transparency, there's a small glitch in gravitybox, the navigation bar won't go transparent until you have pulled down the notification bar once.

dpi back to 240
Dpi set to 240 and xposed framework app setting module fixed to make some apps display in tablet mode, like here in the settings app
also the home screen grid is 7x6 and perfectly comfortable to view.

How have you been able to change dpi settings? Is root necessary ?

Yes you do need root. Easiest way of doing it is by using an app like Texdroider DPI, available through the Play Store.
@terminal 7 good idea, changing the dpi.
root .. yep

yes root is required, various apps then deal with full system dpi change ie- ROM TOOLBOX which has an array of tools and is suited to newer roms, some older apps mess up jelly bean build.prop and cause boot loop so take care with the app you use.
for more control over individual app dpi just install the XPOSED FRAMEWORK and once installed go through the list of available modules that are downloadable from the main xposed app and look for APP SETTINGS module, you get a much better level of control similar to the way paranoid android roms let you change individual apps.
enjoy.

This is what I did currently.
I modded the lockscreen, so that music widget is transparent and (more important) those annoying white grips at the side, when you turn on the screen, are gone.
The Launcher is Nova 2.3beta with semi-transparent navbar, plus I modded the SystemUI.apk for semi-transparent status bar and swapped Back/Recent buttons.
Widgets are Anton's Kalender Widget, Gotasks (with heavily modded app and transparent widget) and Eye in sky weather.
Setup of Nova is no-Dock and 7x5 grid. Background is FiveWallpapers from market with 4 different pictures for 4 homescreens.

Thanks a lot. I am a kind of a newbie with all those things. Im a bit scared of rooting my moto G ans loose my warranty. I've already done this with my nexus 10, but idk, i need tout try... Haha
I was playing around with several icon sets, but they never support ALL icons which looks odd, so I keep the default icons.
Launcher: Action Launcher Pro

Hi All
I am new here, recently rooted and installed the CM11 ROM
So far so good. Just wondering however.
The Icons and overall feel of the OS seems very large to me, and in some icons even pixalated (Instagram app)
Is this normal?
Also when I rotate the tab into landscape the text from the apps are cut off, its like it doesnt fit onto the page.
Do i need to install a launcher such as Apex?or GPE?
Thanks

hi, when you rotate into landscape the letters are indeed cut off, this is a bug of cyanogen and i believe that they ll fix it sometime. If you want smaller icons long press on desktop screen, select settings and change the number of rows and columns. If you select bigger number the icons will become smaller and i managed to see the whole text of icons with a particular number of rows and columns.

Do you mind me asking which row and columns you have?
I installed KK launcher just to see if there would be a difference.
And there is a massive difference. The icons are much more crisp and smooth and smaller.
Not sure if its just my ROM.

yeah I forgot to tell you to install a different launcher, cyanogen launcher is bugged, it's not just your rom. I use 7 rows and 6 columns and I use it mostly on portrait mode, if I put 8 rows then the icons look really messed up

Great thanks for this!
Any recommendations on a good Launcher?
Do I have to remove the current CM11 launcher or do they both run at the same time?
Cheers

if you install a custom launcher it will replace the stock, no need to uninstall cyanogens launcher. Unfortunately i havent found much time to experiment with the launchers, although i want sometime to change cyanogen's launcher. The most popular launchers by far are go launcher ex and nova launcher. I want to try someday next launcher 3d, it's created from the development team of go launcher ex and it has some really cool 3d effects.
if you are more technically inclined try changing ro.sf.lcd_density= in your build.prop to something lower like 270, I believe it's set at 320 or something like that ala nexus.
in setting you can choose between launcher3 and the Google Experince Launcher (It's simply called launcher). the Google Experience Launcher works great.
I installed nova launcher and the desktop looks way much better than in cyanogen's launcher. Nova launcher is a simple launcher though, with few options available for customise. But it works really great and it does the job.
Hi,
I have a big issue with the fact that I can't change the app icons to the ones i want. If I try to use apps like Icon changer, i am warned that "Your launcher may not support creating shortcut via Icon changer ", hence I am not allowed to do so. How can i fix this ? I don't want to install icons from certain icon packs, I want to change them with specific pngs.
Thank you in advance,
Liviu
Use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova. Or wait for the developer to update Icon Changer. The phone has only been available for a few days, and I suspect a number of apps will need to be updated to support it.
I am surprised about the small icon size when you put a few icons in a folder. I change the resolution to HD+ but that makes them no much bigger.
Pixel 2 launcher show's much bigger icons using folders but I like somehow the stock launcher.
Any ideas how to make the icons in folder look bigger?

At first I was not that happy with Nova but.....
I found a backup for the S9 and did import and hat to tweak it a bit.
Here a screenshot of the touchwiz and one of the Nova launcher.
Touchwiz is the first thing I dump on a tablet or phone and I've used Nova since it first came out. Lately though I've been using Microsoft Launcher (formally Arrow) and like a lot if it's features.
