This launcher looks horrible, but there is one feature that works better than on the galaxy s:
Try zooming out with 2 fingers in app drawer... scrolling lags like hell on galaxy s, but it is sometimes smooth here

What launchers?

Using the default at the mo.
Any one using anything else?
Apex? etc?

Curious if the default has all the pinch-zoom capabilities of Xscope. I can zoom any mobile page with Xscope, the only browser I found that does that on all sites (like FB).

He meant launcher, not browser lol.
OP, I started apex, but realized what a pita it would be to set up, and said "I'm out" and uninstalled. It works though.

I stuck with the default one since "My Library" doesn't show your library in Apex.

I don't think it does right now. I tried configuring it and, unless I'm missing something, it's stuck in tablet mode. It won't let me get rid of the Tablet app launcher in the top right and the search bar in the top left. Also, all of the icons don't scale right, so they're tiny compared to the stock launcher.
I'm going to roll with stock until Apex updates for JB.

I use Apex. Its really fast and fluid on jellybean!

The vertical and horizontal margin options will fix this. Just change it to small or none.

GoLauncher EX. I know there are newer ones, but it works, runs great, and is consistent with what's on my SGS2. Just never saw a reason to change.

+1 for go launcher. Smoothest and most functional on jelly bean yet. Apex lags with a few icons on screen and nova has a few bugs that need to be ironed out for jelly bean. Go launcher never lags at all 6x10 grid. Plus themes work awesome And effects. Plus it has full features and its free.

I've tried both nova and apex. Apex has some rescaling issues when redrawing icons in tablet mode. Nova is ok but it seems as if many of its features are reserved for the pay version.

Nova launcher side bar

In landscape I can't seem to get rid of this bar, even after hiding the search bar. Anyone had any luck removing it? On beta 4.

Looks really good, but the app drawer in portrait only has four columns. Any way to make it five?

There's a setting to get rid of the divider bar(s) under "Dock".

:good: Excellent. I assumed it was for the dock only, but this does remove the left hand side bar in landscape. Clearly an option for each bar is needed as I would like to keep the one for the dock.

I've tried doing this, the bar has gone, but I still can't use the extra space! I really want to use the extra space so it's not wasted. How can I do this? I'm on Nova Prime latest....

[email protected] dpi

Hi guys
changed the dpi on my n5100 to 160 by accident and got a whole new version of interface.
Is it remnants from another device?
I like it a lot but worried about compatibility with apps. Anyone tried it?

You've got Nova launcher or Apex on there haven't you?

yeah but look at the bottom bar. Very similar to stock android but Samsung modded. Also notifications screen has changed to the same as my Note2. most thingswork apart from the dialer.
Touchwiz will not load at 160dpi is the reasn i 'pushed' Apex from the Play store.

Nah, that's what's supposed to happen, it's gone "Full Tablet mode" lol.
If you clear the data on the launcher, it should sort itself out and display in a tablet form.
Like this... screenshot to follow...

You only need to do it on the app itself, if clearing doesn't work, install another launcher then, remove and install the one you originally installed. But make sure you have at least one other Launcher than the default TouchWiz one or you could find yourself in a whole world of headache.
And no, the file that gets edited to change the dpi can only be done once rooted.

Which android version you use? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?

Faster TouchWiz?

So is there any improvement in the latest touchwiz? Any opinion from S5 users? And maybe for those who had the chance to see a Note 4 from close ?
Im in S3 and I dont like the touchwiz laggy and problematic as hell. I have a fear to buy samsung device again. I am thinking of the note 4 just because of the feature to capture images and transform them in editable text.
But im worried about the touchwiz..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app

Have you considered trying a different launcher? Touchwiz is very resource-intensive, but many of the third-party launchers are very quick. I'm using Google Now launcher on my Note 2, and it still flies. It will make your S3 much faster, anyway.
You could do the same thing with the Note 4, but you'd likely lose some of the S-Pen functionality.

Ahh, gotcha. Unless you're married to them for some reason, you should try replacement apps in the Play store.

True. I was thinking of dialer replacements, but I guess you're still stuck with the same phone app. There are many messaging replacements, though I actually really like hangouts.

Fighting with myself over TouchWiz
I've been using alternate launchers for a long time. Was on Go Launcher for most time, but relatively recently I've moved to Noval Launcher, as it has caught up with Go Launcher features, and it seems that Go was a bit buggy in more recent releases.
All that being said, I am presuming at this point that I may want to actually utilize some of the features that TW offers, and won't be ther on other launchers. On the other hand, I too fear lag/performance issues, and loss of features in Nova that I am so accustomed to.
Of course, I suppose I need to get the phone in my hands first before worrying about TW.

You can replace the dialer by simply installing another one from the store. But when someone calls you, you will be faced with a lag followed by a black screen with status bar at top and then BOOM! The laggy samsung phone app (Don't worry your phone didn't blow up
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------
About the improved TW on S5, I have a S3 phone rooted with QS ROM installed and Boeffla 6.1 beta4 linaro installed and a S5 transformation pack supported by QS.
I think finally Samsh*t thought about locking the launcher, phone app in memory. That makes TW a bit faster. Opening the phone app now is faster and the lag is gone. Also switching to contacts from the phone app is lagless. But there are still some micro lags in launching an app.
Hope that I helped you with that.

I like the search bar, but it can be removed with the GELS xposed module.

I am new to android- If I use a new launcher on the note 4 (Nova or Google Now) would I lose functionality of the S Pen or the fingerprint scanner? Thanks

Thanks! Does using a new launcher reduce some of the TW bloat/memory usage or does it go over TW and just mask it?
