You will have to use an alternate launcher.

I suggest you use nova launcher, not the paid version since you just want to replace the app drawer. There is a free version as well. You can still use the remaining features of touch wiz without any issues. I use nova launcher and it works without any issues with touch wiz. Cheers!
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped!

I love the home-screen of touchwhiz more then apex/nova.... SO i dont want to change launcher..
If app drawer replacement not possible then at least Samsung should give 2 options like apex/nova
1. Arrange numbers of colums and Rows according to you
2. Must have Stop full transparency option in app drawers

I just installed the stock launcher available here on XDA and it has the quick settings and also the circle widget can be used with any rom// I'm at work so cant give you a link but its on here

I might just install a new launcher, whats best? Nova, GO or ADW?

Not sure what that means, assuming we all have it with base phone, how do you access it if you change launcher?

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.

I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out

Any place to get blacked out GE contacts and dialer

Any body know or have a link to blacked out contacts and dialer for google edition roms? Or atleast blackedout backgrounds and pop ups?

Are you Rooted? If yes, then your best choice is to flash a Custom ROM. You could try a few launcher's and see if any of the themes replace the dialer and contacts, but launcher's usually make the phone slow. Try Nova Launcher or Action Launcher and install a few themes.

I dont think launchers with themes replace the dialer and contacts.

That's what I thought. I wasn't a 100% sure though.
So I guess the only way you can get a blacked out Dialer/Contacts app is to flash a ROM that has an AOSP theme?

For 4.3?

Does anyone know if there's a modified launcher for the Note 4 that supports 5x6 homepage and apps grid?

Yes sorry, I meant if there was a modified TW-launcher that supports 5x6 grid.

There's one modded launcher available now, it's for the Sprint model but since it's just the launcher it works excellent on the international model (N910F) as well.

Cant you just... make nova... look like the basic one? Whats the difference?
