I like simple and clean homescreens myself and the dock bar with the indicator kind of annoys me on stock launcher. Is there any way to remove/hide it?
You can customize so many things with xposed tweaks, I can't believe I can't get rid of the dock.
I don't really want to use a different launcher, I have Nova, but the stock one seems more fluid to me, plus I like the knock knock feature (I know I could use it on the status bar, but meh).
i agree i was thinking the same thang ....hopefully xposed will add this feature. I also really like stock launcher i just want the dock to be gone...

Hello Status Bar.
Use a button to pull down the notification bar !!
Very handy with this BIG ASS screen.
Put it everywhere you want .....

Nice sharing but its not necessary to ''touch'' notification bar to pull it down.
If you ''touch'' anywhere in screen and scroll a little bit down, notification bar will be appear..

Not in widgetlockerscreen and most of the non stock launcher it also won't work !
unfortunately ....
Thats why this app is so handy ...
Another option is Go Launcher Ex.
It enables you to configure gestures for the dock icons.
One of these options is to bring down the notification bar.
Just putting it out here in case peopel wanna know...
very cool all...just put it in my dock...thanks

I've been using Go Launcher for over a year, and this is the first time I realized I could do this.

Some other launchers such as Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher Ex and Go Launcher Ex to mention a few let you set gestures for various things such as the notification bar. So no, the stock launcher isn't the only launcher for this gesture
I prefer setting ADW's swipe down on homescreen gesture for opening Notification tray myself...
I have used gestures since... forever?
I have no idea why this isnt added to the assorted skins or even vanilla Android. It makes so much sense.
I have my gestures setup so that swipe up = open app drawer, swipe down = open notification bar.
Another advantage of this is it means not having to have an app drawer icon on your dock, leaving more room for quick access icons.
Speaking of dock... another pro tip for GO Launcher EX users. Long press on an icon in the dock and hit 'gesture'. Voila - your dock icon can now perform another action by swiping up on the icon instead of just tapping it. Your 5 bar dock is now 10 actions.
I love GO Launcher.
yes, go launcher ex , use its swipe for notification. But it has alot of good functions too
Just another unneeded app running in the background? No thank you

I installed GO Launcher EX on Christmas on my EVO & it is so much faster & cooler now that I think I can wait to see the SGNote hardware in a US store as long as it's Q1 2012 (as EVO's video camera still sucks & Note does obviously have cooler abilities but would ideally like to try it in my hand first). No fan of TouchWiz here & would likely be using GO Launcher EX on Note.

Nothing is running in the background.
Very useful, thank you for sharing.
I just installed the "start" lockscreen replacement on my nexus 5, really digging it so far. My one major gripe is that the Nav Bar is present from the "start" lockscreen. Other than that, the sliders for RSS feeds, weather, etc are really slick and lag free. Dark theme is sweet, I switched the slider back to slide from middle to right to unlock.
Any modifications I can make to remove the Nav Bar from this app or other apps? I know that 4.4 has this option now where you can opt to go fullscreen for games, movies,etc , I would like to figure out if this can be done.

The dev has to enable the full screen mode.

Start Lockscreen is really nice and promising but is it just me or the apps not really optimized for 1080p resolution? The icons dont look sharp at all for me.
PS: You can try Cataclysm rom to hide the nav bar, the best rom atm imo. So many tweaks and mods.
whelp, I removed this start screen as fast as I installed it. Unfortunately it was not as reliable as I'd like when using the slider to app shortcuts. I feel like they tried to add too much functionality for its own good.
now using cataclysm w/ ART & franco r12 kernel, so far so good, thanks for the suggestion.
I'm looking for a grid mod (an extra row in height, not an extra column to increase the width) for Touchwiz on 4.4.2 (SecLauncher3.apk). I have tried the Xposed 'Stock Launcher 5x4 Modification' module but it doesn't have any effect so I assume it's for a previous version of the launcher on the S2/S3 etc. I have also tried a few modded TW launchers from 4.2.2 on the S4, not holding much hope that they would work, and they didn't.
Has anyone got something to allow this? I really like TW as a launcher (especially now Unicon on Xposed allows the icons to be changed like any other launcher) but the grid size is simply a deal breaker for me and an additional horizontal row would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance.
Use nova launcher?
I do currently. But I want dock icon labels, and for some strange bizarre reason (despite multiple requests from a lot of people), neither Nova or Apex have that as an option, despite it being a very easy thing to implement. Also, I really like the stock transparent weather widget more than any other I have tried (and I have tried them all), but it only runs under TW thanks to Samsung's framework being a requirement.
Anyone got any suggestions with this?
First of all i want to say thank you to all the people here who develop all the things to make us customize our phone in any way possible!!
Well.. My question. sorry if it is a stupid question.
After trying different themes and launchers i just want the original stock os/theme but to be able to change the icons, menu's, dock (and so on) to my wishes. Al of that i can do except for the icons (app icons) and the homescreen dock. (without using a launcher app)
So in my search I found xposed hoping to find an answer to the annoying homescreen dock on the samsung.. But i'm stuck with the original homescreen dock. I don't want the dock.. It's to big.. Don't like the (big) icons.
In my original samsung menu i can't seem to find a way to change the grid size, app size or to remove the dock whole.. Am i missing something?
Anyone have a solution for me?
Help would be truly appreciated!!
thanks and for all a very nice weekend!
Greeting from Patrick (NL)

Tried nova, Go launcher ex, Adw enz enz
hey guys, i've been looking for ages but can't find what i'm looking for, was wondering if anyone knows where i could find a mod, to replace the touchwiz home screen's carousel effect with the new s5/old icecream sandwich "card stack?" effect without using another launcher, i'm looking for a flashable zip or a xposed framwork module that can be used on touchwiz, sumthin like this must surely exist?
thanks

Wanam offers three minor tweaks to TW launcher (among many other valuable phone tweaks):
1 – infinite scrolling on/off
2 – wall paper scroll with pages on/off
3 – dock icon labels on/off

I’m not so sure. Using Xposed to tweak the stock launcher seems like unnecessary overkill (considering the huge doorway into your phone's security that you give to every dev who's module you install). People who want to customize launchers generally go with alternate launcher. Then you don't even have to reboot to try out changes (like Xposed would have to). Nova would be my recommendation. I know it’s not the recommendation you’re looking for but you got it anyway.

this is exactly what i figured, i found those options in exposed but not quite what i'm lookin for.
i used nova launcher on my s3 for a year and loved it, i just want to keep my high def lookin stock touchwiz icons since the nova launcher icons look like they belong in the 90's, i seen a stock touchwiz icon looking pack for nova launcher but they didn't have that "high def" look/feel to them (no shadows/reflections? or bad shading? on the icons, i dunno they just look bland compared to stock icons where they feel kinda 3d)
the reason i don't wanna use nova launcher is because if i do use nova launcher and go back to that stock android feeling i midaswell be on stock android itself, GPE or Cyanogenmod and it feels to bland which is why i'm on a touchwiz based rom.
i'm just kinda hopeing someone will come along with an idea of how i can impliment this without removing touchwiz launcher, ORRR maby get the real stock touchwiz icons (the acual stock ones, not just look alikes) into nova launcher.
