Are all launchers and themes for rooted devices only?
I believe you can use them without root, you may be missing some features though

You don't need root to switch launcher. Just install a launcher, and press the home-button. You'll get a popup-question that asks which launcher to use, choose the one you want, and select the "Use always" option.
It's resetable of course.
But often you'll get more options with root.

Thanks for the help. Most launchers are at the play store?

Hi,
I was trying to make a folder with all my games by dragging and dropping on one another, but for some reason it says its full.. maybe 30 apps or so. My galaxy s2 on ICS can have over 100 apps in a folder. What's wrong?
Thanks

Or is the unlimited apps a touch wiz thing?

Likely a TouchWiz only option.

It's a custom launcher thing.
Nova Launcher will allow you to have unlimited apps in folders.

Welcome to XDA! Best way and stay stock is to use an alternate launcher...search Play for Nova and Apex Launchers.

Which launcher are you using? Maybe it could be a randomly occurring bug in the Note 3.

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. I haven't had that issue myself. Maybe it could be some sort of bug.

Yea, Nova Prime works awesome.
I used to use apex, but switched to nova and never looked back.

Can you hide apps you don't use in the app drawer with Nova? Thanx
Yes, you can
Got a question.
On the Nexus five you can swipe to the left to get google now to come up. Is there anyway that can be added to an s4?

I'll have to try that all I want to do is even swipe up and google now appears. I use Google now allot and its a pain to have to open the app would be good to just do a gesture and it opens.
I use Nova launcher and have set double tap on screen to be google now. Very handy.
This thread has the launcher you're looking and some other 4.4 goodies.

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
