Show how you rock with your new device with different LAUNCHERS and ICONS
Post the screenshots of your new setup for your device...
Let's see how you Rock...
Not a screen shot but was able to make the wallpaper for it ending out icons ect here we go
Simple, minimal and N.
Matches the mint green robin nicely
Just got the phone yesterday, loving the size! Not done yet but here are 2 screenshots, one is the stock launcher and the other is nova. Nova is plain I know but I hate change and have been using this layout for years.
I really like the stock launcher I wish I could theme the other icons to match. I like the mint green.

Is there any way to get a clean desktop on the Robin without changing launchers? I like to use photos of my family and pets as wallpaper but am stumped by the lack of an app drawer on the stock launcher.
Nova Launcher screenshot attached.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that on the stock launcher.
It's difficult for me to use the stock launcher thoughtfully.
Nova Launcher
Praos Icon Pack
Chronus Forecast with Marshmallow Weather Icons
Nova Search Widget
Sleep as Android Alarm and Sleep Tracking Widget
Each icon on the desktop and dock is a folder matching a folder in the app drawer; each one corresponds to a category of app. A tap opens the first, or most used, app in each folder, and all other apps are available with a swipe.

How did you get those icons next to Google search/Weather? Sleep Tracking widget?

They're from Sleep as Android. One displays the next alarm time, and the other activates the app's sleep tracking features. All I did to get them there was I enabled widget overlap in Nova Launcher, and then I placed them. You have to kind of finagle the widget sizes to get that spacing, but it's not hard.

Hi all,
I am looking to customise my Google Nexus 7 theme but one thing I find very frustrating is the widgets push one another about.
Is anyone able to advise of an app that allows them to overlap/be put where I want?
Thanks
Try Nova launcher
+1, Nova Launcher allow this to ahppen, even allows you too place them onto when your adding a widget to homescreens.

I use ssLauncher as it allows complete control over placement and lots more.

Can this be done? Is it on in ROMS other than stock? Why would it ever be disabled anyway.
Use apex or Nova launchers. No idea why anyone would stick with the touch wiz launcher
There is a mod in theme/mod section, but it may not work with ota.

Worked!!! It's called "Ultimate rotation control"
I like the Nova launcher too...it's very fast. But I somehow lost the Accuweather time widget when I went to Nova. I tried to get it form the market but it doesn't look the same. Wife's phone so I can't justify changing the appearance that much for rotations sake. Otherwise, if I could have put the same exact Accuweather widget back on, I think I would have left Nova on.
Edit: Spoke to soon. Ultimate is only free for 7 days.
2nd Edit: Found another one called "Rotation locker"
I like Holo Launcher HD. No lag, customizable, more options (like auto rotate) plus you can still use the Note 2 touchwiz widgets if you want.

I tried the Holo launcher and still couldn't find that stupid accuweather widget. Sigh.
I ended up going with Novo launcher and finding a different weather widget from the Playstore.

That's what I did. I changed over to Nova Launcher and also Fancy Widgets to use a weather clock/widget.
I did like the Weather clock on Touchwiz but what bothered me was , having used HTC Sense for quite a while, I am used to touching the time and going to the alarm, but with Touch Wiz, no matter where I touched, I'd goto weather.
I used Apex launcher on stock. It helped until I got a phone call in my car with the phone docked. The Phone app doesn't want to rotate! :/
If you're rooted....check out the MOD TW 360 rotation
I'm running rooted deoxed TW with multi view and the MOD worked fine.

I have another widget I found which is very very nice. I don't think it let's you go to alarm by touching the time though.

Fancy Widgets let you set what program got called depending on what you pressed but I couldn't find a widget that I was happy with.
I ended up using HD Widgets and and used one of their weather clocks. While it doesn't let you specify the programs for where you touch, it has a very nice weather page built in(even allows you to select int weather ino provider) that works when you touch any of the weather and goes to the alarm when you touch the time.
So I'm using Nova Launcher, HD Widgets and also Android Pro Widgets for things like a Timeline widget(I was using APW on Touchwiz too).

Nice. I will take a look.
I have the Go Launcher Weather Widget running on Nova but it seems I always have to update the app manually. I have checked my settings and it updates the location just not the temperature.. is it because Im not using the correct launcher? I like Go Launcher because it is really simple and clean.
Any suggestions?

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.

Do you have a custom launcher enabled? I know trying to set those options disappear for some reason on a custom launcher, so try using the default launcher if so.

Yeah, nova doesn't display themed icons or grid size, I'm assuming because you can do both of those within the app itself.

I've only ever used nova. It has a plethora of options and even allows you to use a notification count as an icon badge the way apple does instead of just a dot.
My only critique is, when using gestures to go back to the home screen, the icons don't bounce the way the default launcher does.

I was referring to in the past about that. Currently on Android 12 it doesn't, unfortunately.
