On Scott's stock 4.2 ROM with Apex launcher. But I can run Nova if that is the solution.
It's there a way to have a different wallpaper from the home screen on the lock screen? Or do I need to wait for some custom ROMS to get this. I've never tried two different backgrounds but I happened to come across a background that I really like on the lock screen but not so much on the desktop.
TIA

I was able to do it by using wallpaper wizzidri and Go locker (which meant go launcher)
I hope there is a different solution. I'm not much of a fan of go launcher especially on the tab.

Hi, I was just wondering why there is color banding in Widgets (like power control and music) on the stock android launcher but when u use launcher pro there isn't any? Can this be fixed?

It's to do with the way the launchers render widgets. Without a rewrite of the stock launcher it will always have this problem.
Just stick with Launcher Pro. It's much better than the stock one anyway!
Thanks for the reply. I wanted a completely stock look but I guess ill just use launcher pro. It's much smoother any ways.

Hi,
I have three home screens that I don't use, is it possible to remove them?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Install a launcher like Apex, etc and you can pick how many screens you want. You can't change the stock without modification.

I'm working on a custom launcher based on the JB launcher and it will have this feature (already does).
4.2.1 here. Anyone that figured out how to delete unnecessary home screens?
You can't with the stock launcher. As stated above, you can install apex or nova launcher (or any other custom launcher), or just ignore those extra screens, google decided 5 screens is the way to go, and there's not much we can do about that.

Well, that's what I was afraid of. I use on my mobile Go Launcher Ex and I am pretty happy with it. However here I was wondering if I can get a 3 panel screen in stock without any other additional software. Hope someone will figure it out someday.
Is there an app or setting that will allow me to have a different wallpaper on my lock screen and home screen like on the iPad?
I tried an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It allowed me to have a picture for my lock screen, and a separate picture for my home screens. The problem was that the picture I was using for my home screens would take a second or two to load after I unlocked the device.
Perhaps there's another app that can yield better results, or some tweaks I can do with that particular app.

If you're willing to flash it, AOKP has that functionality

Widget Locker will do it. Amazing app over all.

Doesn't just changing your wall paper change the lock screen?!

What about it?
He was on about using another app : Multi.....
I am saying doesn't just changing your background internally, (holding the homescreen and choosing gallery) also change the lock screen image?
Or does he want 2 images -
One for homescreen
One for lockscreen
If so my bad
I wonder why trebuchet always sets my wallpaper with a bigger image than stock, its soo annoying I wish I could use all these tablet mode mods more often but I don't like how trebuchet always makes the wallpaper bigger and depending on the image size blurry as well, I tried replacing with apex but that launcher does rotate smooth in app drawer it stays black for a couple seconds then shows the apps, so does anyone know why trebuchet does that?

Try Nova Launcher. I don't know why Trebuchet is doing that. It never happened on my N7.

Nova but there are some nice 3d launchers too, though nothing is as nice to use as nova

Notices any better performance with nova? Less lag, do the apps open any faster?

The launcher is silky smooth but the phone runs exactly the same on nexus 4
On the Int s3 with 1gb ram though yes apps launched faster and the phone performed better as nova uses far less ram than touch wiz and you can lock the launcher in memory for fewer redraws on low ram devices.

I've always been a fan of apex launcher. Is there any reason to pick one over the other? I like Apex's ability to make the status bar transparent and auto hide plus tablet mode with hidden dock.
Themer, Nova, apex, tsf shell, spb shell.

I use Action Launcher for it's nice static "action menu" on the home screen and also a built in one tap search button and side slide menu for alphabetical app list(no app drawer needed)

I like Nova since it comes with the AOSP icon set and easy to change any ones you dont like, close enough to vanilla launcher for me
I like smart launcher. Very simple and organized. Looks great in tablet mode on PA ROM.

Go launcher EX for me, tons of themes.
I use TSf. After using nova, apex, and a variety of others along the way. This is best to me. Costly at $15. But it is great. No more grid pattern. No more 4x4 or whatever. It's free form like a desktop on a computer. Place icons and widgets wherever you want. Stack em on top of each other if you want. Doesn't matter. No limitation on placement. It's great.

Nova Launcher Prime! I love the gestures and tons of customization options!
I just got the full version of apex and love it. I'm in to theming and tablet mode looks awesome and goes along quite nicely with themed search bars.

Apex for me. I like being able to customize grid size and folder icons. It's also compact and fast.
