If you turn on developer mode you can set dark/night mode to always on but it doesn't chamge things much.
You can install Nova Launcher and install the Google companion apk for nova launcher. In the setting of Nova, it will let you make the feed dark. I like nova launcher over LG's stock so I'm rocking nova.

That's the thing I like this launcher & Google feed comes included in it it's just weird that you can't apply a dark mode when lg went out it's way to include it in the launcher
I'm wondering when LG is going to put the choice between white and dark mode for the complete UI.
Maybe with Android Q as it's supposed to have the option natively ?

As questioned, is there away to remove or change the app draw icon on the homescreen on stock launcher, i was hoping tweakbox would have an option to remove/change this.
I know i could use visualizer and make another one - but thats no use when the icons still there
I prefer a 3rd party launcher, but when using the Home launcher I use ThemeX to extract icons and/or wallpapers from my apex/Nova themes and icon zip files.
I've found some LG home themes with app drawer icons I could stomach and would apply it and then change my other icons. Not a solution, just sharing.
Is that an iPhone 6 ?......."LMFAO!!!!"… said my G3
Yea i usually use a 3rd party launcher, namely Holo - but i noticed it runs like poo on the G3 - stock was far better.
However i tried Nova today - much MUCH better, ill be sticking with that for a while, its much faster than stock for me anyways.
and i can ditch that icon
I also was wondering how to change some icons out with the stock launcher. I don't want to lose the knock knock on/off functionality, so I'd prefer not to switch launchers.

Do I lose anything else by switching from the stock launcher?
I think the stock weather, But you can switch back to the stock launcher back and forward.

if you use xposed you can use unicon to change the icons with stock launcher and you dont lose knock on/off.
the unicon beta which works without problems on my d855 can you get from here... you have to join the unicon g+ community and beta program on google play, then you can download the unicon beta but the procedure how to get the beta is there explained
Awesome, I'll check that out, thanks!

currently we just can set the lockscreen wallpaper only. Even using the 3rd party launcher, we cannot set the wallpapers...
I really don't get this from amazon, this is 2014 , and we still cannot just customize the wallpaper ? ha ha
Use Vire Launcher.

Vire
Vire launcher does not let you change wallpapers... You can change the theme and the background will change with it, but you can't change to custom backgrounds...
Unless someone else found a way to do so?

Buzz launcher offers full custom background support, and makes it feel more like an android device. Also, if you haven't already, get the playstore... None of this requires a root. Instructions are here:

Still better than the terrible stock Fire Launcher though... And all the launchers that DO support widgets are stuck with an UGLY plain black background! At the moment, buzz launcher is the best option, until someone either develops a new launcher, or updates an existing one to make the "background" to not be dependent on the system background, but rather be an image placed ON TOP of said background. This would in effect bypass the whole "No background" problem.

Once I installed the Google Launcher and playstore I didn't feel held back anymore from the phone and switched back to the Amazon Launcher. It's my preferred launcher now. I recommend everyone give it a true shot. I just wish they gave us an option out of the box as I feel more people would have tried it out then.
Default wallpaper is cool, i think its not necesary to change it

Lightning launcher extreme allows for custom wallpapers (with advanced settings option turned on) AND widgets. Works beautifully!

Launcher Lab
You can only use built in widgets but launcher lab works great and has many themes like themer, have been using it for a month with no forced closes.
Buzz has been the most stable for me themer crashed a lot I'm stock unlocked also glove box dock is really nice on here

You can change your background now if you have updated to version 4.6.1 You can choose from some wallpapers or your own photo. If not, then try Buzz Launcher, which is the only launcher that i've found so far that has a customizable background. Hope this helps!
I am using nova launcher prime 4.0.1 I think and I have wallpapers/widgets working.
Google Now launch lets you change wallpapers and most widgets seem to work fine.
Hello together, i need your help
I use nova launcher with OP3. The only thing i do not linke is the look of the folders.
I am looking for an Theme, Launcher or what ever, which shows the folder in the middle of the screen with rounded corners
(similar to EMUI or iphone).
Do you have an idea how I could get this?
Here an example: at the bottom of the site (http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/honor-5x-1314381/review/3)
I tried EMUI Launcher but it is not as in the previews (it is more like nova standard)

I know you said you have tried emui but have you tried MIUI actual rom and not the launcher tbh it looks very similar to miui.
is this what you tried?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apps-devices-t3305103
Hi egren58
no I installed the "emui launcher" from the playstore. also the full version.
unfortunately the downloadlinks in the thread are away.
I will try to find them somewhere. Thanks for your help
@all

Hola Launcher or Solo Launcher

Nova launcher can do this...
Just set the folder preview as "grid" and set a custom folder background.
Yesterday I installed Pixel Launcher on my OP3.
I'm running Freedom OS 3.5.5, Stock kernel, root & xposed.
Whenever I make a New tab next to my homescreen my homescreen turns blurry, restarting doesn't fix it Unfortunately.

Change your wallpaper
The blurry wallpaper is due to the stock launcher, that blurs the left page to the assistant and the effects remain in the rest of launchers (I was about 1 month to realise of it lol), my solution was to apply the wallpaper from the wallpaper chooser of the app (in my case the nova launcher), hope it helps you to solve the problem!!

Hmm... Try disabling the oneplus launcher throught titanium or something... Cant say much more
I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
