How change the grid size and number of home screens?

Don't tell me to use a different launcher because I want to remain stock... But I just can't figure this out. I have looked through settings and everything but can't find any launcher settings. Thanks. I know its a stupid question but im confused!

You can not complete such a task on stock. You MUST use a different launcher like Nova or Apex just as a couple of examples. Google doesn't allow you to modify grids in the settings. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry.

I use Nova Launcher. It is based on the stock launcher & has that same look & feel. It gives you options like changing the number of rows & columns, hide apps from the drawer, and remove the persistent search bar.

I also use Nova. It's built from the stock launcher, plus it has LOTS of extra customization features. Seriously, just get it.

Honestly the only reason I was trying to avoid it was because I didn't feel like setting it up. But its done now and works well! Thanks

RootBox Support thread

RootBox Support Thread​
This thread is for the support of RootBox users. I am not affiliated with Bajee in any way. I am just doing this to prevent any further conflicts between our amazing developer and the people have questions and need support for RootBox. I will do my best to answer any questions, but I do not know all the answers.
Please be helpful to others and only constructive criticism. EVERYONE started somewhere, just because they have a question does not give you the right to insult or criticize anyone. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has those days.
Thank you for your cooperation

I have a question and my question is: why not lock all the dev threads afterall, and simply have one post in them where devs just upload link of their rom this way, you and those that think dev threads cannot be used to ask questions, become a happy family?

I believe that Dev threads can be used to question, I just know that Bajee perfers a support thread and a Development thread. All I'm trying to do is make his life easy as he works extremly hard on our Rom.

This is great! It's better this way. We can report bugs here instead of discussing there. Just make sure bajee checks this thread!

Personally I have no longer been having an issue with cLock not showing on my lock-screen. They appear to have updated it and I no longer have problems with it showing. Also in the newest source it was updated again so you may not have problems then.
Could try doing a full wipe and installing the latest nightly or wait for the next one.
Ps I compile my own rootbox so when I talk about the new update it should be in Bajees next nightly or release

Just to make clear i know how to change dpi and stuff. I simply do not know which apk i select to change the dpi? Logic tells me i should fins lockscreen and changw dpi but when i go to xposed app i do not see a lockscreen apk to change dpi like for example i see a facebook.apk or some other apk

Lockscreen is not an apk. It's not possible to specifically change your lockscreen dpi in this rom.

this rom looks so awesome, looks the best one (all the best roms in one) !
what about :
1. battery
2. performance
3. sweetness
4. translations
5. colours
6. suggestions/requests
7. what is worse than PA ?
?
thanks, i'm looking for the most customisable rom

Can I specify the lockscreen to stay on portrait view?
Hi all.
I have been using this ROM for about 3 weeks now, and I love every single thing about it
Thanks bajee11 to have developed such a great ROM
I run it with Faux123 kernel and it runs smoothly.
One thing I have to ask in this thread and hopefully get a reply is this
Is it possible to keep my lockscreen on a portrait view when I enabled auto rotate?
Or is there any way to make my LINE(chat) to be auto rotate when the screen orientation locked?
I enabled the "Normal Rotation" on Youtube and works fine, but with LINE it can't be done and I am eager to do the same with my LINE.
Hopefully someone will have an answer to this. thanks very much.
Regards, Evan Hendra

In the new nightly the option to have the screen shot in one of the nav keys is gone, (or I'm overlooking it)..... anyway I can add it back in myself? Thanks.
@Bajee.... will there be an option for it again in the future? I know it's in 3.8 but just wondering if it's going to be taken out all together in the next stable release.

Is the CRT Screen ON now working ?

Bootloop with faux kernel
Anyone using faux kernel here? I must be doing something wrong because I can't get the phone to boot when I flash the kernel. (I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference).

[Q] Drawer transparancy

Hey there, i've recently gotten myself an I9505 and managed to install CyanogenMod 10.1 which uses the Trebuchet 1.0 launcher. As i can't post in dev forum yet i will just post it here, but i've been looking to get the drawer transparancy to around 50% for a while now. As i remember on my I9300 there was an option in the drawer options from which you could simply set the transparancy yourself, but this seem to have been removed in the version i'm currently using.. Is there anyway to make this work? All i could find so far were some random codes to make it completely transparant but i'd only want it for about 50-60ish %.
Thanks for reading.

Again only 4 columns home screen

OMG I was shocked to see the Note 3, just like the Note 2, only has a 4x5 grid on the homescreen. What I don't understand is how Samsung can develop a device with a huge screen, and then totally forget that they can make use of the extra room to place more icons. Even the original Note had 5 columns in the home screen by default (I owned the original Note, the Note 2 and now the Note 3).
I wanted to fix this using something like Assassin tools just like I did when I got my Note 2 a few months ago. Then I read about the Knox warranty void 0x1 on the Note 3. I don't want to void my warranty, although I find it completely rediculous that a user can loose warranty cause he wants to install another (modified) operating system to his device. Suppose Microsoft forbid me to install Linux on my PC!
But okay, we have to deal with it and we probably can't fix this problem (making Samsung change it's strategy) easily. So now it's becoming a challange to solve the wish for a more customizable home screen. How can we do that without root? Yes you could use a custom launcher, but I really like the Touchwiz launcher and it's widgets. Does anybody have ideas how to create a customizable grid on the Touchwiz homescreen to place icons and widgets, without the need to get the phone rooted?
Also: why can't we set the dpi per app? Same goes here, we have such nice devices with big screens, I'd love to have control over the per app dpi in Touchwiz! Is that possible without root? Anybody have a solution for that?
Or do I have to issue a ticket to the Samsung development team and clearify my wishes? And if so, will they listen?

I don't understand how you could be shocked by it, You must of already known this before buying the phone? the Samsung launcher had always been the same just like the xperia launcher etc
As for customising it if you don't want to root your phone right now when it is possible, im afraid you will have to wait it out. Try some other launchers at the moment besides I'm pretty sure most of the widgets work on different launchers

Ok I was not shocked in that kind of way (I love the Note series enough to keep buying each increment), but I can imagine that I'm not the only user with such a big screen who wished there was more room to place icons and use apps optimized for big screens. So the shock is that apparentely I am the only one complaining about this, or Samsung doesn't listen....

Fair enough that's just the Samsung launcher though, it's not the "Note3 launcher" I suggest installing nova launcher or apex and replicating the touchwiz look with themes or icon packs for now, just be patient it was only released a few days a go ^^

Samsung just says "if you want more options, install another launcher. We're not stopping you."
That's the point of Android. Don't like it, change it.
I got rid of the Stock launcher within the first 30 minutes of purchasing my first Android phone (S3.) Haven't left Apex Pro since.

From my experience I strongly recommend to not use the default oxygen os launcher.
The default launcher has two big problems with it
1) The launcher is extremely slow, when you tap an app icon there is a big delay before the app actually launches. Compare with any launcher on play store
2) The icons are two big for a 5.5 inch screen.
Please use Nova Launcher or google launcher. I use Action Launcher though

Well, I didn't close, shutdown or explode xda servers by giving my slight advice here did I mate .
Ofcourse the OP didn't ask for feedback, that doesnt mean its wrong to help out a fellow one plus two owner, People around can still help OP with the OS Launcher I am not stopping them. I am just giving my 2 piece of advice, to the OP and other OP2 mates Rajat, making them realize what they are missing of the expensive phone we all bought. Wasn't discussing and helping out each other the whole point of having an openly accessible internet and the foundation of XDA Forums. There is a reason why this is not StackOverflow like, question and answer site.
Now coming to the actual topic in discussion, I have a right to defend myself. I am not forcing anyone to use any specific launcher here, I am just Recommending . If you have actually used the Oxygen OS Launcher, you would know Rajat, that its not very well designed and is inherently flawed. It almost takes 2 seconds to launch a app after clicking on the icon. I don't want the many users of OPT to think that their device is at fault here, the launcher is the culprit and it took me 5 months to realize this, I just don't want other people go through the same.
Sorry I have to quote you here :
"Sorry to say but nobody asked feedback which " forum reply should go to which thread. Or is it so that new member can be bullied on XDA, I am just new here Rajat, I dont know how things run around here,
PS: Sorry OP I apologize on behalf of rajat339 and myself for ruining your thread. But you know we gota stand up for our self .

@magicstick5 I got the following from the system after I extracted file_contexts from boot.img using AndroidKitchen:
framework.jar; framework-res.apk oxygen-framework-res.apk; libs, Launcher3 and LauncherLayout (Don't know what it is).
How should we approach this? Do we decompile the apk and go from there, because Launcher3 is the name of the Google Launcher app I think. Here are all the items we need (I hope):
