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.

Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the homescreen has 4x4 icons only!!!?? What they thinking !!?? On such a large screen a 4x4 icon only!!!??
I know you can add another launcher, but then you loose functionality like pop-up notes when you pull out the pen, probably multi-screen too etc.
This really SUCKS!!
Is there some Touchwiz setting for this?//
Well i can say multiscreen works perfectly with the Nova launcher, i've had that launcher on the Note 2 since i bought it, and it runs perfectly...
Haven't noticed any problems with the pen or system using Nova, though i'll admit that it doesn't pop up with Notes when you take the pen out, not a massive compremise for having a better launcher though, haven't tried using it with ADW or any other launcher though

Thanks but don't you think this needs to be rectified by Samsung? What must have been their logic behind this ridiculous 4x4 icons on the Homescreen?
I am using the Nova launcher too. But it just bugs me that I cant use all the functionality with my phone.
There was already a topic about this subject!

The original note has 5x5... but u cant resize third party widgets so they look horrible. . So I guess 4x4 is better

Use Nova Launcher.
Hey Guys,
I have been using Go launcher since its launch, but have been thinking about venturing outside of my comfort zone and trying something new. I've always liked randomizing transition effects, and being able to change the grid layout... as well as having folders in the app menu (which is a great thing I love about the stock touchwhiz experience)
I have heard a lot of mention about Nova launcher, and Apex Launcher, but no actual reasons as to why these are better than what I already use.
Can you tell me the differences between them, and why you use the launcher that you use?
Thanks all:silly:
I know Nova and Apex were built for ICS so they ran better at one time. I'm not sure since ADW and Go were updated if that is still the case. I have been using Apex but the last couple months its not running as smooth as it used to so I switched to Nova. I'm impressed with Nova so far. Lots of options and great performance. Best thing is just try the free versions and buy the one you like best.
i've stayed with stock tw because i like the extra screen that pops up when i use the s-pen

Agreed... I installed Nova since that was my choice of launcher but with all the new feats on the TW, i quickly switched back.
Coming from my S2, I do miss the profile option I had on that rom
Stock so far!

ADW EX
I like making the icons smaller so they aren't so big and cartoonish on my Note II, as well as all the other various customizations.
Have yet to try my nova prime (run that on my atrix, OG note and touchpad). Leaving things stock atm...and its very hard to do.
Honestly...the only annoyance I have with the TW launcher is no option for 5x5 or 6x6. Thats why I will probably switch it

I've used ADW, Go, and Nova... Nova has been the best experience for me performance and options-wise but so far I'm using the stock launcher.
Would rather replace the navigation indicator with an extra row of icons but other than that, I'm quite content!
The power to choose between power and/or simplicity is the beauty of Android.

That was my biggest gripe. I need to be able to have more icons on my home screen than TW allows, so much wasted space!

I can't deal with TW. Maybe it's improved but Nova and others have so many useful features. Extra dock icons, grid sizes, gestures, drawer folders, etc.
What TW features are you guys attached to? With Nova I can still double click the screen with the pen to pop up a note at any time.
Apex baby FTW
You can still always push your S pen and double tap for a note
Apex, but it's not as smooth as it could be, and you can't use the stock Weather widget with it.
I tried Apex launcher since I had it on my s2, but it's super choppy compared to the stock launcher so I switched back. Unless they optimize Apex launcher for jelly bean ill stock with stock.

+1. It feels the same as TW on GS2 with Gingerbread. I'm giving Go Launcher EX another shot (this time on GN2) because its features but I hate the toyish feel/icons and BS it loads as well.
Apex will be next.
Anyway to get the lock screen to look/act like AOSP? I dont mind the ripple effect but the look (TW) is
I'm using TW but have applied this MOD that allows you to have 5X5 rows and columns. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990801
Nova largely because of it's backup of layouts which makes it much faster to setup new ROMs etc. Apex I know does the same thing and I don't really have a preference between the two. I had switched to Apex when they were the first to update to 4.1 source which made it smoother than Nova, but switched back after Nova updated.
I like ssLauncher (the original). It's in the play store. It has the most customizable home screen I've ever seen. No more restraining yourself to grids or default icons. It has a bit of a learning curve but so, so much you can do! Send me questions if you're curious & I'll try and answer them.

The reason I'm asking is that I've tried this phone in the store as well as watched the video reviews and yes, the UI is really, really fast and smooth.
I'm curious if anyone has installed a 3rd party Launcher, like Nova or something without being rooted and noticed how the speed is after they did that?
Just try any, non of them require root l. I think your phone will handle them perfectly

It depends on the settings you use, but I am using nova and it is very fast and very smooth. The only reason I am using it instead of stock is so I can double press the home key and have the notification bar drop down. Saves me having to try to reach for it all the time
I use Go Launcher Ex with most of the bells and whistles enabled, and it's buttery smooth on stock 4.0.4, stock 4.1.2, and CM 10.1 (4.2.1).
Switched to Go to get more than 4 columns of icons, nicer icons, nicer themes, nicer animations.
I use holo launcher and its just as smooth as the stock ics launcher.

I'm using Nova on the AOSP Rom and it is extremely fast.
Nova Launcher on stock 4.1.2 ROM, smooth, fast, and responsive.
i sry to maybe hijack ur thread omnius1, but i also got some questions about launchers.
i got my E975 some days ago and i am thinking about trying another launcher than LG's own, but how to u set it them up and how to disable the stock one and which have the best options for modding the hell out of the homescreen?

Most launchers will allow you a degree pf modding the homescreen but it depends what you wish to do..
If youre looking to change stuff like fonts then the launcher wont allow this at least I havent seen it, however you can change animations, the dock, folders, icons and general theme..
I currently use a combo of apex launcher (which works with some of the existing stock widgets, unlike adw launcher for instance) and rom toolbox pro which allows for a whole bunch of customization such as boot screens, font, et
Oh and I should also mention that the speed amd performance overall using apex launcher is every bit as fast as stock if not a bit faster.
I am rooted too fyi.
Hi, I have a new Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4, and I would like to keep touchwiz at first. But I don't find where I could change or adding app launchers to dock. It only has the google bar and I would like to approach it a little more.
Thanks.

I don't know if I get it... You can install any launcher like Apex, Nova, Go Launcher etc. from the play store and keep your touchwiz rom.
But I'm sure that's nothing new to you...
Thanks, I usually use Nova, but with this new tablet I wanted to give an opportunity to Touchwiz.

I use Nova Launcher on a debloated touchwiz rom, too. I don't like samsung's magazine ui and touchwiz surface is not that customizable as I want it to be. Nova works also very smoothly!
Thanks, I think finally I will move to Nova. But I use this tablet mainly for work and I didn't want to modify it very much.
Hello all,
I am about to get the new moto z play as the seller has not shipped it yet, and in moto z play after coming from htc one m8 with its good sense ui and classic/freestlye layout themes, i will not want to use/keep the stock feel. So I want experts kind help, to tell me some great and importantly lag free launchers/ui paid or free for Moto Z Play ?
Just want to also tell that I will never root it. So no answers on custom roms, etc needed.
Will highly appreciate the answers. It may help many more too!
I love you XDA !!

Some say it is not as good (as it was,) on Marshmallow.
Edit, sadly I just realized wallpapers do not work.
No so, on our phone, albeit has one minor issue not showing all of the bottom row of app drawer icons. So the labels get chopped. For this I have a work around. Folders work, backup and restore and everything else.

Action Launcher 3 Pro is love <3
Stock launcher is actually fairly nice with little to no bloat. That being said I loaded Nova Prime since I had it already and love the tweaks it allows.
I personally use T-UI (called Shell launcher on the Play Store). It is completely different from the stock launcher and is lag free, but unless you like using a linux terminal you will not like it.
Action Launcher 3 Pro, Nova Launcher.
I have paid Nova with a live wallpaper and a white line icon pack to go with my black theme, and even with animations at stock speed and using the transition animations in Nova, it's super smooth.
I've been using Smart Launcher for awhile now.. find it to be really smooth and unbloated

Please forgive me for quoting myself.
I do not think most of you realize what a great launcher this is.
Let me count the ways...
Instantly sort apps by date, most used or name
Migrate browser favs which I have saved to many home pages, in various folders, after a FDR or to others phones. This is part of it's backup feature.
It is fast.
You do have to put up with a black only wallpaper and an app drawer that hides some of is bottom row. Which you can work around by touching the icon to see the whole row.
See pics.
Snip rant...
Action Launcher 3 Pro. Without a doubt one of the best launchers I've used and loaded with features. It makes it easy to replicate a Nougat look too.
Commented about lag in another thread on stock rom. Glad I'm not the only one.
If there is any way to make software fast instead of smooth please lmk. Every animation is off and it still chokes on a single factory widget.

Evie Launcher is the best. I think
Evie Launcher is free and adfree.
No lags... light weight with lot of features. better than default Oreo UI
Nova launcher here for the past 5 years fast smooth and very customisable.
