Stock launcher editing - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
I don't have 10 posts yet and because I don't want to spam I just ask this question here in the general section.
I'm on Paranoid Android 3 and the Rom is known for alot customization options but where can I find the launcher settings? I couldn't find any way to edit the row number or space between icons etc.
With expanded Desktop everything looks kinda mixed up (in my opinion) and not that well designed.
I would appreciate it if you could answer my questions or show me how I can solve the problem myself.
I will upload a screenshot of my homescreen too and I hope you can image what I'm trying to say
Cheers

Sure, use a different launcher.
If you are looking for general info... READ... there are lots of threads and if you are waiting for your device to show up, what else do you have to do with your time.
Then when it arrives, you will have all that info you already gleamed out of the forums and hit the road running.
OR, you can wait until you get your device and then ask a ton of questions which have already been answered be you now need the info right away.

I mean the bar with the back home and recent button...
The nav bar as gnex users call it
Thanks

different launcher or custom rom.
Many custom ROMs have a setting for this

Noob theming using AOSP

Hey all I'm new to the Nexus phones, but not new to android.
Previously I would put my own icons into roms that I liked (ie custom icons in CM10). I got the nexus because I wanted vanilla android, but I also want to be able to use my own icons.
Is there a way to do this while staying off of a rom?
Sorry for the noobness...
Thanks in advance!
This does not go in android development & to answer your question, use a launcher like nova to customize icons.

RootBox Support thread

RootBox Support Thread​
This thread is for the support of RootBox users. I am not affiliated with Bajee in any way. I am just doing this to prevent any further conflicts between our amazing developer and the people have questions and need support for RootBox. I will do my best to answer any questions, but I do not know all the answers.
Please be helpful to others and only constructive criticism. EVERYONE started somewhere, just because they have a question does not give you the right to insult or criticize anyone. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has those days.
Thank you for your cooperation
I have a question and my question is: why not lock all the dev threads afterall, and simply have one post in them where devs just upload link of their rom this way, you and those that think dev threads cannot be used to ask questions, become a happy family?

I believe that Dev threads can be used to question, I just know that Bajee perfers a support thread and a Development thread. All I'm trying to do is make his life easy as he works extremly hard on our Rom.
This is great! It's better this way. We can report bugs here instead of discussing there. Just make sure bajee checks this thread!

There's a video tutorial on the root box site. Follow that. Just remember to use 250 dpi instead of 300

Personally I have no longer been having an issue with cLock not showing on my lock-screen. They appear to have updated it and I no longer have problems with it showing. Also in the newest source it was updated again so you may not have problems then.
Could try doing a full wipe and installing the latest nightly or wait for the next one.
Ps I compile my own rootbox so when I talk about the new update it should be in Bajees next nightly or release
Just to make clear i know how to change dpi and stuff. I simply do not know which apk i select to change the dpi? Logic tells me i should fins lockscreen and changw dpi but when i go to xposed app i do not see a lockscreen apk to change dpi like for example i see a facebook.apk or some other apk

Within the app you need to enable the annoying persistent notification so it doesnt get killed.

You need to change the DPI on the cLock app. Bajee posted a video on the main thread or the root box website

Lockscreen is not an apk. It's not possible to specifically change your lockscreen dpi in this rom.
this rom looks so awesome, looks the best one (all the best roms in one) !
what about :
1. battery
2. performance
3. sweetness
4. translations
5. colours
6. suggestions/requests
7. what is worse than PA ?
?
thanks, i'm looking for the most customisable rom
Can I specify the lockscreen to stay on portrait view?
Hi all.
I have been using this ROM for about 3 weeks now, and I love every single thing about it
Thanks bajee11 to have developed such a great ROM
I run it with Faux123 kernel and it runs smoothly.
One thing I have to ask in this thread and hopefully get a reply is this
Is it possible to keep my lockscreen on a portrait view when I enabled auto rotate?
Or is there any way to make my LINE(chat) to be auto rotate when the screen orientation locked?
I enabled the "Normal Rotation" on Youtube and works fine, but with LINE it can't be done and I am eager to do the same with my LINE.
Hopefully someone will have an answer to this. thanks very much.
Regards, Evan Hendra
In the new nightly the option to have the screen shot in one of the nav keys is gone, (or I'm overlooking it)..... anyway I can add it back in myself? Thanks.
@Bajee.... will there be an option for it again in the future? I know it's in 3.8 but just wondering if it's going to be taken out all together in the next stable release.

Is the CRT Screen ON now working ?
Bootloop with faux kernel
Anyone using faux kernel here? I must be doing something wrong because I can't get the phone to boot when I flash the kernel. (I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference).

[Q] Nexus 4 on Kitkat: no new UI or Google Now

Hello everyone!
I just updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.4, but it seems there has changed as good as nothing. (I was running Nova Launcher when I was updating, if that is relevant).
I don't find any of the new functions of the new android version: normally you can just swipe from the left to acces google now, but not on my Nexus. Everything seems to be just like android 4.3: the appdrawer, the homescreens, ... There are only a few things that have actually changed: the icons, the settings menu and the lockscreen.
I thought the problem could have been that I was running Nova Launcher while installing the update.
Does someone know what I can do to have the full Kitkat experience? I've already deleted Nova Launcher by now and the stock Launcher is set as default.
Could a clean install help me out?
PS: I can post some screenshots later if my explanation here isn't clear.
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure you updated? And are you sure you set Google search as your launcher in the launcher settings?
Sent from my N4, wanna know what I am doing? Check http://team-fun.eu
Search for and install Googlehome.apk
Nexus 4 KitKat update is different from Nexus 5. For example 4 is missing the new Google Experience launcher, transparent lockscreen. For GEL just install Google Home. For full transparent lockscreen flash this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527525.
Also if you like Nova launcher, join Nova launcher beta group on Google+ and became a tester. Nova beta supports transparent bars (you need enable it in settings).

Which will direct then to all of the threads with the same content, of which they will choose the wrong one to use. This will result in endless..... Never mind. I don't know why I'm even bothering.

I'm not sure why you bothered ether since we are both technically in the right.
Forget search it's lately almost always at the top of general (excluding sticky threads). If you can find how to post a new thread I'm sure you can find a highly active thread in general.

It's just that the constant “use the search” type of replies are about as effective as the war on drugs. You can take a dealer or user off the streets, but that will not do anything to actually impact the level of drug use or distribution. Likewise, there will always be people who don't use the search, so why not just ignore them so the thread dies, or actually offer a helpful response.
I'm more in the right. But that's probably because I'm awesome.

Installing Google Home did the job for me.
And excuse me for not searching the forums first, I'll keep it in mind for the next times.

[Q] [QUESTION] Is there a way to move or re-arrange the statusbar elements???

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to move the statusbar elements, i wanna move the signal and WiFi icons to the left side (like on iOS), is there an xposed module or a tweak to achieve this???
Thanks in advance!!!
Hey can I just say it's kinda weird that this question is asked almost exactly the same way and verbiage on this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604483
Is there some weird trolling thing going on around the themes and apps section? Also I answered the question in that thread.

I think you have to decompile the system ui and edit it then push it back to system. There is a mod though for galaxy s4 that coverts the icons to ios style.
