Just checked this out, BRD launcher, 7 x 6 grid with resizable widgets and modded pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390935
Just wondering if anyone could mod the stock launcher to have a 10x10 layout and resizable widgets, possibly with and without the Google search. (or 9x10 if necessary). This is really the only thing I'm looking to change with the stock launcher.. Is anyone willing to give this a shot?
edit:
Yes I know this can be done easily with a home replacement, just wondering if anyone would be interested with the stock launcher. I've used LauncherPro religiously on previous phones, but I'm really liking the stock launcher on this phone..
Bump, because I don't even see this in the forum

Nova launcher and home launcher are basically the stock launcher and can do this

How can I disable wallpaper scrolling? Do I just need to download the stock tw launcher and replace the current one with that? Since the rom is odexed I would need to delete the .odex files as well correct?
Thanks in advance!

wallpaper scrolling is dependent on the launcher used. It can be disabled inside the launcher settings. No need to delete anything.HTH
There are no launcher settings for the touchwiz launcher

It depends on the wallpaper. I use a live wallpaper called Water Drop. It gives you a ripple effect similar to the stock unlock screen when you touch it. In the settings for it you can choose whether or not to scroll along with a bunch of other options. You can also use it with whatever picture you want as the background so it looks like you want it to.
I think it's ROM specific. Mine won't wallpaper scroll unless I select the option in AROMA during install. I use FreeGS.
It is launcher dependent, for example apex launcher supports it. I do believe there is a modified tw launcher that supports it, but I couldn't tell you where.

TW comes in different variations, which are ROM specific.
Like the title says. I'm annoyed by the 4x4 that the Note 2 currently has. I would like to get at least 5x5 icons. Anybody know how to do this. My note 2 isn't rooted but if this features requires it then I'll go ahead and root this just for that. I'd appreciate it someone could walk m through this. I really like the stock TouchWiz so I wouldn't want to change that. I found Nova Launcher and Apex launcher so be a little laggy.
U can change the DPI thou for that
&it requires root.:thumbup:

If you look in the sprint notell forum there is a ROM called synergy. They have different tw launchers. They should work for you.

I'm a new XDA user and new to rooting so please bear with me. I am simply looking for a TouchWiz launcher mod (I think mod) that allows me to use a 5x5 app format. I have the SGH-I317 with build: JZO54K.I317UCAMH3. Can anyone help me out?
You just need a different launcher...
Give Nova launcher a try from the play store..
No root required ...and it gives you the options to grid up to 6x6 I believe ...
Otherwise ...to get TW launchers with grid changes you would need root and a custom rom most likely ...g

I haven't had the best experience with launchers from the play store. Had a go launcher before and it was just too much. I went with the root because I figured I could just mod the touch wiz or flash a better touch wiz Rom.

Never mind. I gave up looking for a mod and downloaded the Nova Launcher. VERY easy to use, customizable the way I like and very smooth.
Now the only question I have about having multiple launchers is... How do I prevent them both from running at the same time? I already set the default that when I press the home button, it goes to the Nova Launcher. And then in Nova Launcher settings "swiped away" the touchwiz launcher. But is it still running in the background? Do I even still need it? If I don't, how do I remove it? And no worries, I have a backup from before I installed Nova.

Once you swipe away the tw launcher you have set nova as default. Only the default launcher will run. I would not remove the old tw launcher as it can be a backup in case nova acts up. In other words, its good to have multiple launchers installed. Only one launcher is active at a time.

OK, I have had a lot of problems getting widgets to stick to my homescreen after adding them. the defaults stay just fine and there are several that work as well from the play store, but beautiful widgets and hd widgets and widgetsoid, none of them work at all in the note 4 touchwiz homescreens.
I figured I would add a launcher to my phone so i could get my widgets back. The very first launcher I added was themer, and just as an fyi, they do not support the note 4 yet and it is not compatible. They did say on their support page however that there is support coming soon. there is no release date as to when they are expecting it to work.
The next launcher I tried was Nova and it worked flawlessly. So did APEX and Go Launcher. I have not tried some of the others yet such as NEXT launcher an TSF shell. I'll report back if and when I get time to try them out and see what happens.
I figured I would start this thread so that if anyone else is having issues with trying to add widgets on their stock homescreen and it doesnt work, then they could find a quick alternative here until the issues get resolved.
I was able to get next launcher to work as well but im not paying 12 bucks just to see if tsf works. gonna need someone else to try that one.
Another launcher
ADW Launcher also works flawlessly on my note 4.

Thank you! I don't know why i forgot about them lol
I'm actually enjoying the stock launcher on my phone. Reason being, is it seem to do notifications very well by putting the number next to each app. On my old phone, I use to use Next and loved it. I wouldn't mind putting it on my Note just to see how much better it'd perform, but again, I'd probably miss the whole notifications experience. Can someone comment on NEXT on the Note 4 vs stock launcher?
Try Blur Launcher, it's based on GNL and has some nice customizable options for non-root

As far as I know, no third party launcher allows tw widgets... too bad, sometimes I like changing launchers and I really like the tw calendar widget...
Main reason I use stock launchers is because of the widgets. Would be nice to get the best of both.
I kinda figured it wouldn't allow tw widgets as I too especially like the calendar widget. It's all good though as for whatever reason I was suddenly able to add widgets to my tw launcher.

Nova works perfectly.
I used touchwiz for about two hours and got way to annoyed. Now I am on Nova and I have no issues at all.

I use digical for my calendar widget. If you want to have a full month you have to buy it but the free themes are really nice.

Exactly what TW widgets will Nova not allow. I've been running Nova on four different phones and now on the Note 4 without any issues what so ever.
One of the very first things I do is load up a launcher. I've used TSF, Nova, Go EX, and Next Launcher so far with this phone. My favorite for speed is Nova, for eye candy are the two Go based launchers (Go Ex and Next), and the most customizable is TSF Shell.
The reason I use launchers is to get more squeezed onto the screen at once, and then to dress things up a bit, especially on a phone that does not (yet) have root.
To the OP, so far, no widget issues at all with any of the above launchers.
using nova prime, im able to use some touchwiz widgets like weather

I'm not sure. I like the TW calendar widget and it isn't available on third party launchers. Some are available like weather, flashlight and S Note widgets

As an update, I somehow got massive scratches UNDER my screen protector on my phone. I don't have a clue how in the world something like that can even happen! However, I went back to my vzw store and did the 14 day exchange for another brand new note 4. Brought it home and instantly was able to add widgets etc to my home screen. I'm not sure why my first one gave me issues for about 3-4 days. Has anyone else at all had the widget issue when initially setting up their phone?

And btw, I appreciate everyone's feedback about their opinions on tw and what they've been running on their new note 4s!
