TouchWiz Launcher without Root? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone has the TouchWiz launcher working in their Nexus 4?
I'm just after the launcher nothing else. I've tried extracting it from other sources, I've tried three so far, and they all install but then crash.
Now you can get the Sony Xperia launcher so what's stopping the TouchWiz?

It's just normal with stock launcher. You would have to install any other launcher in wich you can enable homescreen rotation or a custom ROM I guess...

Remove home screens

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.

TSF Launcher Crashes

TSF Launcher keeps crashing on my nexus 7 Device, I really don't understand why it keeps crashing it won't even boot up? I am on android 4.2, the reason I want this app is because a YouTuber Amando or Armando something will be releasing a Ubuntu theme for this launcher.

This was a problem with TSF, but latest version fixed this. You should upgrade to latest version.

Remove search bar?

I would like to remove the google search bar; I haven't found a solution as freezing/removing Google Search also removes voice search, and I'd like to keep it. Any help, please?
Install a custom launcher from the play store; apex adw etc. You can't unless your rooted with a custom rom or deodexed

Nova launcher is highly recommended. I honestly doubt you'll go back.
I'd like to stay on stock launcher...

Then you'll be keeping the search bar I'm afraid.

KitKat + GEL launcher = slow piece of crap

I'm running unrooted, stock KitKat with GEL launcher and it's slow as hell.
Screen transitions, any changes to icons, Google now everything is slow as hell.

You might want to check other possibilities. I am using GEL launcher without significant slowing, a hitch here or there, but nothing too horrible.

Then don't use gel launcher. Use the stock one or nova beta which is themed like gel. There already threads about this. No reason to make a new one just to say it sucks. Anyways it's not meant for the nexus 10 so unless someone or Google optimizes it for our tablet it won't work well because of all the transparency

Well, you have nexus 5, you should know how fast it is running. Nexus 10 is not even close to that. It actually reminds me Samsung device bloated with touchwiz.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Think about it this way. The device has to draw the entire screen 2 times one of those being a transparent layer while animating it... that will task any device... wouldn't be surprised to see the new N10 come out with 1080p just for this issue.. I don't think any SOC that can handle this resolution with transparency

Use Nova Launcher beta with transculent. Working great and smooooth
I take my words back. After "S" update the tablet seems to back being responsive again, even with GEL launcher.
I've recently tried Note 10.1 2014 and even though it runs on latest hardware its dead slow 'cause of touchwiz overkill.
