LG Launcher ?? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got this phone yesterday. Love it and the launcher. Only thing that bugs me is the bouncy effect on homescreen. Anyway to get rid of that?

If you are referring to the animation that happens when swiping from one screen to the next then you can change it. Settings, display, home screen, screen swipe effect.

Thanks, I did that. But it happens as your swiping. There is a small bounce effect on all animations. Reminds me of Gingerbread. I would like it to just fade instead of bounce. I hope I am making sense. Remember Launcher Pro and ADW? You could choose to have a bouncy effect or fade in etc as you rotate the screens?

If you tried everything and still don't want it, try downloading launcher applications, i.e. Launcher Pro and ADW.

You know, I picked up my wifes Flex today and even though I still noticed a slight overshoot while scrolling screens. The overshoot was not nearly as bad. Plus the transition seemed smoother.

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.

I had issues with Nova but the Apex launcher was sweet and no side bar issue.

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....

Trebuchet question

I wonder why trebuchet always sets my wallpaper with a bigger image than stock, its soo annoying I wish I could use all these tablet mode mods more often but I don't like how trebuchet always makes the wallpaper bigger and depending on the image size blurry as well, I tried replacing with apex but that launcher does rotate smooth in app drawer it stays black for a couple seconds then shows the apps, so does anyone know why trebuchet does that?

Try Nova Launcher. I don't know why Trebuchet is doing that. It never happened on my N7.

Light Grid Live Wallpaper Lag

Hi everyone, I just got my N4 today and was pretty excited to run the light grid live wallpaper, when I did, my homescreen (apex) lags between transitions
Is that normal? Any way to get rid of it?
Thank you very much

There shouldn't be any lag. Try using a simpler animation, maybe (or turn off any complex animations). Does the wallpaper lag on stock launcher?

The lag persists on any launcher, I was wondering if it doesn't happen to anyone else since it's a popular live wallpaper

Is this normal for Nova Launcher Prime to do this?

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.
