[Q] Lockscreen Widgets

How do you remove the digital clock on the lockscreen? It keeps returning after I delete it. Also, can you add other widgets besides the four shown?

I was able to use uccw on the lock screen

Try to replace it with another widget. Then go back later and delete that one.

Tried that. The clock came back.

Is there at least a way to make it look decent, without the stupid bold hour digit? I wouldn't mind having the clock on the lock screen if it didn't look so bad.

Download Fixed Clock from the Market/Play Store and use that widget in place of the stock one.

HD Widgets is very nice option as well. It gives you many configuration options for the lockscreen

Can you add more without installing other apps?

Use third party Launcher, such as Apex or Nova

those launcher are crap and sluggish. i've already used them. tried many launchers already, they all suck and waste battery life. there's no way to do this without installing any apps or custom roms?

Nope

I am afraid I have to answer that stock launcher can't have 6 icons on the dock.
Either third party launcher or a system mod.

Pretty sure if you feel lag on those launchers it's something with your phone not the launchers. And calm down man, so hostile for no reason

I'm a total novice but my Nexus 7 has 6 icons and is the same OS.
Might there be a way to fiddle the settings? (eg screen resolution)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Because the Nexus 7 has a bigger screen so its stock ROM was designed with more room for icons.
Yes, you can play with the system settings.... but why would you want to do so if there are ROMs/apps out there that do those thing perfectly fine?
I won't stop you from playing with your phone or developing your own ROM though
Edit: And Apex is fantastic. I used it from version 0.3, never lagged or slow (well, except for a few beta builds)

Thats like saying you should be able to fit the same amount of words onto an A4 that you did using an A3 paper.
While using the same size font.

As I said, I know nothing of the technical aspects of this.
However, I have changed buildprop to alter icon sizes , so it seemed at least a bit plausible...

nothing about nova or apex is going to slow you down. you will never know its there. promise. and you get mad customizing from them. i dont use apex, but with nova you can speed up the animations and screen swipes. these arent go launchers by the way. these are launchers that some devs will pack in their roms because they run so seamlessly.

There's a way to reduce the amount of homescreen pages on stock launcher?

It has 5 but I only use 3, so I was wondering if there is a way to reduce that number. Like Xposed Framework or something like that.
And please, don't suggest me to download third-party launchers.
For some reason, I like most the stock one.
Thanks-in advance. ?

Nope. Launcher2.apk is not customizable.

[Q] What features do you lose if you don't use S-Home launcher?

I'm new to the Galaxy Note 3 and S-Pen. What features do you lose if you don't use S-Home launcher?

as written in different threads, you don't loose and S-Pen functionality if you move from standard launcher to any other.

None. I use Nova Launcher. You only lose the features if you root and install another ROM that doesn't have the Samsung apps/features.

Same thing everything works same with or without stock Launcher as long as you remain unrooted.

If we root but keep the stock ROM, will everything still work as well? I don't really need a custom ROM but need to use Titanium Backup to copy my Smurfs game over to my new phone. I spent almost two years playing Smurfs and I'm really far on it.

Idk depends on who created the stock ROM and what system files/apps are left intact.

Most of samsung widgets does not work in other launchers. So S planner widgets also wont be working.

If you have taken back up of smurf game app folder under internal sdcard/android/ data+obb folders from your previous Android device you can copy it to your new device. It should work from your last status until unless the newly installed smurf creates new folder structure.

You lose the swipe up gesture to get the My Magazine function with an alternate launcher, don't you?

Yea but you can just put app on your home screen or better yet dl Flipboard.

With Nova, can you still use the gestures to reduce the screen size for one-handed operation? I could not seem to do that.

5x4 Stock TouchWiz Launcher?

The xposed module isn't working for me. Anyone get a 5x4 STOCK launcher working?

Try this, use odexed version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462912

Ah. Well thank you, but that failed gloriously. Replaced the stock launcher with root explorer, changed to original's permissions. still resulted in a continuous force close cycle. thank god this phone comes with a second launcher (easy mode) that i could switch to to restore the old launcher apk.

Any luck getting this working? I'm not

i had setup all my widgets and app in folders etc... in TW and when i launched Nova it asked if i waned to import settings i choose yes and then i had the option to choose TW and so all my apps and folders were there. some of the widgets may not populate but being root all mine did except accuweather
