[Q] Launcher name - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently installed the moto x kitkat launcher for this xda site which I guess was the original launcher of the moto x, I downloaded the apk directly to my phone and tried installing when it told me that the name of the moto x launcher and my original nexus 4 launcher was the same, is there any way in which I could change the name of the moto x launcher to something else, or could you make a apk with another name of the moto x launcher for it to work on my nexus 4??

The only thing I can think of is to install another launcher (Nova or Apex), set the new one to default, uninstall the other launcher, install the launcher you want, set it as default, uninstall the other one. (Nova or Apex)

[Q] Nexus 4 Cyanogen Mod Icon Help!

Phone : Nexus 4
ROM: Cyanogen Mod 10.1
I've seen numerous apps such as "Launcher Pro" and "ADW Launcher" which allow you to change the stock icons on cyanogen mod, i have a icon.apk which is installed however i would like to use these icons using the default cyanogen mod launcher trebuchet rather than having to use a third party launcher such as ADW is this possible if so how??
Will i need to replace each icon individually? Surely this is built into cyanogen mod via the themes section but i cant seem to fiqure out how!?

no this is not possible on the stock launcher unless you download and apply a full theme, just search "CM10 themes" in the play store. also, you could use a different 3rd party launcher like apex or nova, each look exactly like the stock launcher except they have way more customization. both of these are available on the play store as well
Is it possible to add these icons to the Cyanogen Mod zip then update the os?

[REQ] Optimus G Pro stock launcher & widgets for S4

I've managed to get the stock deodexed apk's from the Optimus G Pro from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272177. I tried using the stock launcher (LGHome3a.apk) on my S4(i9505), and it works. But, the launcher is not fit/compatible with the S4's screen due to the fact that its DPI is different from the G Pro. Is there a way to change the DPI on the stock launcher/widgets of the G Pro to make it compatible with the S4?
thanks

Not too sure about changing the dpi of a launcher but you can on your device...

Sense 6 font for nexus 7

I installed sense 6 on my htc one and really like the default font, is there a way to find out which font sense 6 uses, rip it from my htc one and flash it to my nexus?
Thanks.
You can, take the font off the rom, should be somewhere within the rom then copy it over to the N7, you can use something like iFont to flash the font. I did the same on my S4, took the font from the Nokia X and used iFont to flash it.
Once you find the font, you can also use PerAppFonts for xposed.

Either your device is not able to run pixel launcher properly or you are using damaged file. What you can do is try the pixel launcher given on this thread. This one has no problems.

Just flash it using any custom recovery like twrp.And then tell us the result.
hmm... ill try it later... gonna flash stock rom again >.<

Try Nova launcher. It's literally the best you can get.

This is the preview version. Latest pixel launcher from 7.1 system dump allows only 4 icons in dock (at least in our g4).
Just google Nexus launcher.
Open the Android Authority website link.
Download the .apk file.
Install the launcher. That's it !
Post that , go to setting- ( personal ) Home - Set Nexus 3 launcher as default ( enable it ).
I have done and currently using the same.
Date doesn't change in the homescreen
It's 12:00 AM now, and the date hasn't changed yet. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!!
