Wallpaper Scrolling

Hi Guys, I can't seem to find no option to allow my wall paper to scroll. I use Zedge to download some nice backgrounds and get it changed every day but the pics don't scroll? Have they removed that option?
Ta
As in S3, there is no option for wallpaper scrolling in Touchwiz. You can download third party launchers like Nova or Apex for this feature.

Or you can edit the seclauncher3.apk and enable it

[Q] Hide app icon but keep the app enabled and launch-able?

Is there any app / way to achieve this? There are two many apps that I do not launch on a regular basis which I do not want to appear in the App Menu but keep the app available to launch when required using Swapp or any other Gesture App Launcher like GMD. My Nexus 4 is rooted. I have tried few apps to hide but I am unable to launch them while hidden.

Many third-party launchers have the ability to hide apps (nova, apex, action) from the app drawer. If you wish to run one of these hidden apps, simply search for it-either in the launcher's search or with Google now.

Sorry, forgot to mention.. If possible I would like to avoid third party launchers. I am happy with the stock launcher.

Stock launcher doesn't have this option. If you want to hide icons, you have to get a third party one. Sorry.

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.
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app
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.

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

Launchers

I am coming from Samsung devices and I really got used to seeing the stock icons with notifications on them. Are there any launchers that will do this without needing root?

Nova with the Tesla Unread plug in gives you icon notification badges.
Nova ftw! I have their paid app with gestures and other goodies...
I have used nova in the past and liked it but I don't like it on my 6p. I use the Gmd immersive app to hide my soft keys and when I use it on the stock launcher the screen becomes larger. When I use it with nova the screen stays the same size and when the soft keys hide nova just leaves a large black box instead of expanding the screen.

Samsung? Noooooooo!!!
But Nova launcher probably ha some icon set for you.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

which launcher everyone using with LG v 20 ?

In your opinion Popular/Best launcher to use with this phone ?
I like Apex or Nova Launcher. Super customizable and stable. They have gestures which let you put all that screen real estate to good use.
The best for me!
The best for me is BuzzLauncher. I have been using it for 2 years already
i use Nova Launcher Prime...well worth it.
Pixel launcher
Action launcher 3. Looks and works great and has all kinds of shortcuts.

Action Launcher 3 skinned to work mostly like the pixel launcher... But with swipe from the left edge to open Google now in absence of assistant, and with double tap of the home screen to open the camera.
Nova Prime is my dd!
+1 Nova Prime. I'm going to experience the V20 as it is when I get it, perhaps for a few days. Then, time to customize!

Nova Prime FTW

Do any of these launchers allow you to keep the double tap screen on/off?

I dont know the others but Buzz Launcher does. Also Next launcher, TSF Launcher, and Go launcher do too. (TSF is not being updated anymore, so you will probably discard it, although it is REALLY GOOD TOO)

The stock one is pretty cool, like an iPhone basically. I will probably use Nova Prime though.
