It's all personal preference really, depends on how you want your screens set up, how you want the device to look etc. (PS Best threads are against XDA rules, so expect this to be closed)
Oh right ok i didnt know so do i need to be rooted to change launcher

Nope, can grab Nova /Apex etc from the playstore and test them out, premium features you have to pay for, but in regards to Nova it's superb I've used it for a long time now.

Hi I got my Nexus 7 on 29 sep. A few days ago I started using Apex Launcher as its a great alternative to the default launcher. Anyways, yesterday I was just getting some general lag on everything, I was wondering if it had anything to do with Apex, I use a custom drawer interface and I only have one page. I'm new to this forum and it would be great if you replied. Thanks, Charlie

I have to admit, I used to use Apex on my S2 and found it a bit laggy at times. I decided to remove it and then everything was fine. Can't prove it but removing it worked for me. I haven't used another Launcher on a device since.

Sorry, lost the xda app and thanks anyways, apex WAS great and has amazing potential but just crashes a lot

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!
I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!
I have a nexus 4 running android 4.2.2 stock ROM and I was wondering if there was a way to add more pages to my homescreen.. Anyone know? Im new to xda BTW ?

Welcome to XDA! Best way and stay stock is to use an alternate launcher...search Play for Nova and Apex Launchers.

air command
Sorry for the noob question, I'm waiting to get my note 3. The air command from the stylus is not launcher related right? If i change launcher they are still there?
Thanks!

No it's not related to Launcher. Will work with Nova as well as any other Launcher.

You aren't using stock launcher. Transparency only works with stock launcher.
THANK YOU!
