Touchwiz vs. November & other Launchers

Is the S-Pen or any other functionality lost when a 3rd party launcher is used? If some functionality is lost, what is last? Can you increase the number of rows or columns for icons on home pages with Touchwiz?

My keyboard is too smart for it's own good, I was trying to say "Nova" launcher, not "November". Does Touchwiz allow you to increase the number of icon tows and columns on the home screen?

using apex launcher. Everything works fine.

Does the default Touchwiz that comes with the phone allow you to alter the number of rows and columns for icons?

No its not...

Touchwiz columns and rows
The hack you are showing me is the only way to have more columns and rows with Touchwiz?

I understand that custom launchers still allow the s-pen functions to operate.
However, will a custom rom say a cm10.1 based rom allow this as well as allow the syncing between the note and the smart watch?
If not, how could I over come this, I want a cm10.1 which allows me to use all the s=pen functions and smart watch functions properly..
Appreciate any help.

You can't. S pen features are built into the tw framework.

In that case is there any two based rom or launcher that allows custom themes?

maybe what the OP meant is Nova Launcher

I have tested out Nova Launcher for a few days, found one little thing, the write with your pen function on the samsung keyboard makes nova and or the keyboard crash.

Hi,
theres an update for Note 3 keyboard.
go to Google Play and Search for "Samsung Keyboard Note 3" and click "Update"
You need to restart your phone afterwards. Try and report here after.

(REQ) live wallpaper on lockscreen

Is it possible to modify the lock screen settings to allow a live wallpaper option? I know this can be done standard on aosp/cm roms. Looking for a mod on the LG side of things.
I know there was alot of lag on my wife's g pro phone with live wallpapers in general. I wonder LG set it that way so there would be no/less lag.

On the DNA, you had the option of setting up the lockscreen with a Live Wallpaper. It wasn't a special mod or anything, it just came that way. Probably part of the Sense overlay. In any case, it was a standard available option.

I understand. LG also doesn't support root, custom recovery, and changing icons in the status bar. These options aren't impossible so why would a live wallpaper be impossible?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

First you set LWP on your homescreen.
Open build.prop file and edit this line from:
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
to
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot your device.
Now you will see same LWP on your lockscreen too.
Root is required.

How difficult is that to understand that it is not supported??!! There is no point in arguing when I know what the fact is. Maybe a REAL DEV as you call can do it, but AFAIK no one can/could till date.
and about the last comment, thats AOSP stock lockscreen not Lg..

I had high hopes that this would work, but it doesn't work on my device (Stock, rooted). Every time I edit the buildprop and reboot as it prompts, it resets value back to true...hmm. Any suggestions?

I have one question. Did you save changes? And after saving make sure you set the build.prop file permission properly.

It worked for me on stock but changed my lockscreen to the aosp lockscreen

Yeah, I paid for one as well. It's is the steampunk theme. I haven't taken a screen shot of it, but I like it rather well. I figured that I could spend $0.99 to make my Z1 more "mine".

Yup.and they're a nice way to keep.the Sony launcher and yet customise it. Which I think was great of Sony. I used to make Symbian ones for myself...can't wait till we can do these!
Here are all the ones available atm.

I have the "+" button, but I can't download any theme ): ...
Today I got the OTA update to .290. I have not locked apps at all.
I went to Settings -> Customize -> Theme, and there's the "+" button. Sony Select appears but with nothing, just the shadd black-blue background.
If I go to Sony Select directly from the launcher, it just appears the "loading" animation and after a while it says "Not net connection. Try after a while"
PD.: I'm translating what it says to english, messages appear in my language.

I get the same error after an update to 4.3 and I saw others with the same issue on the Xperia Z forums.
I have attempted a reboot and clearing the app data.
I suspect that it may be something up with Sony's servers.

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.

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 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.
