you can MAKE that happen. use this app.
so basically you will need to
1) install the framework from here:
2) then the app itself from here
3) then click launcher
4) then check "use small icons and larger grid"
profit.
That works but isn't what I'm looking for.. I would like the 4x5..

What is it that you find breaks the TW experience with the launchers? To me, the look and feel is almost the same. Slightly different app/widget drawers and menu on the main screen, but that's about it.
Damn nova Launcher is amazing! Ha. Never thought I would like another Launcher..

I know there was one floating around for the E4GT, but I'm guessing it's not compatible with the S4.
Would anyone with experience modifying apps and/or theming be willing to teach me how to make the Accuweather Widget transparent?

I don't think you can but today I used the 1weather app and after you add the widget you can customize the Opacity making it very transparent at 0%.

I'm watching this with great interest. I too want a transparent weather widget and I wonder why it's not an option? when you select a folder on the home screen the widget DOES go transparent. See the attached screenshot. So it seems that there should be somewhere within the XML to turn this on all the time?
You guys still want a transparent weather widget lol? Just cause I love u guys
Gimme a few seconds and i'll upload it
Here you go guys, Finally lol!
Doeasnt matter what ROM or SYstemUI your on, This is Universal, so it will work anywhere, store & save it. MOre to come!!!!!!

Have you tried clearing the cache?
But i don't think this is a problem. I think it's a new 4.4.2 feature that cannot be disabled. Maybe I didn't describe my problem right. When someone calls me and I don't pick up you can see the missed call in a big notification rectangle in the lock screen. This means that someone can just take your phone and see who called you even if you don't want to. I try to find any setting to disable this but it looks like it's a widget in the lock screen.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
If you can't disable it in the settings and the developer didn't include an option for that there is no way to hide it.

I guess you are right but this is crazy not being able to hide this. We should have control over our privacy.

That is one of many reasons why I am not using TouchWiz.
You think if I use another launcher it will not do that?

I think what you have on your lockscreen is a lockcreen widget. Have you tried disabling Lockscreen widgets?
Maybe if it is a standalone widget it can be removed from the screen. Try and report back.

Has anyone found a launcher mod to make it 4x5 (4 wide x 5 high) for touchwiz? I found a couple that claim to work but I can only find 4 high x 5 wide.

Does anyone have any information on HOW to mod the launcher? If I was pointed in the right direction I'd be willing to take a crack at it. Can't really find anything online about it.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that makes you guys like TouchWiz launcher over apex or Nova?

Just the nice look, feel and simplicity. Apex is the closest to that but it doesn't play nice the widgets I like.
Status update...I was able to make the change and recompile the apk but when I try replacing the file it just removes the launcher from my system and I can't use it. And when I try just installing the apk it fails. My guess is that it's some kind of signing issue but this is my first time trying to mod so I'm not sure.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Agreed. I do like that most of the widgets work with TW. Especially the stock weather widget. When I use Nova I don't get all the options with in.
After countless trial & error and help getting the correct compile procedure from @tdunham here's what I made:

Good deal.
Plus anyone looking for some decent guides, keep an eye on the Unified Development thread. I've already post around 8 or 9 of them there. Probably going to consolidate all of them into one to make it easier eventually.
In your opinion Popular/Best launcher to use with this phone ?
I like Apex or Nova Launcher. Super customizable and stable. They have gestures which let you put all that screen real estate to good use.
The best for me!
The best for me is BuzzLauncher. I have been using it for 2 years already
i use Nova Launcher Prime...well worth it.

I dont know the others but Buzz Launcher does. Also Next launcher, TSF Launcher, and Go launcher do too. (TSF is not being updated anymore, so you will probably discard it, although it is REALLY GOOD TOO)

The stock one is pretty cool, like an iPhone basically. I will probably use Nova Prime though.
