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

Change home screens?

Is there no way to change the number of home screens with the stock launcher?

Replace the Default Launcher

How many of you have replaced the default launcher on your S4? What launcher are you currently using?

I switched from the TouchWiz launcher to Nova Launcher. It now has the ability to utilize the "Transparent Status Bar." If you are using one of the stock wallpapers, your status bar can be transparent while you are in the launcher, just like TouchWiz.

I've used go launcher for a long time. I'm thinking about switching to nova though. It seems like it has a lot of cool features.

Buzz Launcher ftw.

I've tried both Nova and Go on my S4. I liked both but am staying with Go for now. No big reason why. I just like some of the Go widgets better.

I use to use Nova all the time on my EVOs, but I didn't know if anyone noticed a performance degredation by switching launchers or not. I know until rolled Nova into my ROM on the EVO that it would chew down memory and slow down the device.

I use Nova.

I guess I'm in the minority but I use Apex launcher.
Hey nivron, or anyone using nova. Does that transparent nav bar feature only work on stock wallpaper? Or does user wallpaper show thru too? I'm willing to give Nova a run if so. I hate not having a transparent bar. And just confirming its the top bar with the clock/wif etc.?
Thanks

I just tested it with one of my other wallpapers and it seemed to work for me.

Apex and Nova are the most popular, but I use ADW Ex for some of the options that the others don't have. Consensus is usually Apex is smoothest.

I use nova as well. Try to make it look like touchwiz tho

use luncher pro all the time.

I use nova launcher prime. The best launcher to date in my opinion. Im not a fan of spending money but this one was worth it for the gestures, unread count, extra dock pages, and other features.

I've been using Apex since my e4gt, don't see myself using anything either.

No offense to you or either of those launchers, but that is just not true. Go has between 50 and 100 million downloads. The other two are between 1 and 5 million downloads. Heck, Go has over 1.2 million reviews! So I'd say Go is, by far, the most popular.

My question to you all that have replaced your default launcher with the launcher of your choice is this:
Do you notice a higher memory consumption or an increase/decrease in lag vs the default / Touchwiz

For me, Nova is as fast, if not faster than TouchWiz. I didn't really think TouchWiz was really laggy though.

Icon Size on home screen

So I have the new phone and it's nice and fast but what I'd like is to have 5x5 icon size as opposed to 4x5. Other than using a launcher is there any other ways to do this?

I think you'll have to use another launcher to do that.

you can unlock the bootloader and root the phone. Install xposed and use gravity box. that will change the icon to 4x5 without changing the launcher.

True, but for some reason I thought if you didn't want to change the launcher someone wouldn't be likely to root but if you like the Google launcher that makes sense.

I want 5x6.

Gravity Box has the option, I'm not sure that it's currently working right now though.

Use nova or action launcher 3

OP said "other than using another launcher".
Does changing the DPI change the Icon size?

I am using Nova since I paid for that in the past. So far so good. I didn't want to use another launcher but I'm actually liking it

How do you change the grid size?

I can't figure out how to change it to 5x5

Lg launcher is already 5 x 5
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Stinks that you can't change grid size on the "Home and App Drawer" option only on "Home"

Oopss indeed, with small Icons I think there is enough space for 6x6 sorry for the typo.
