Does anyone know if there's a modified launcher for the Note 4 that supports 5x6 homepage and apps grid?

Nova launcher can be set up like that.

Yes sorry, I meant if there was a modified TW-launcher that supports 5x6 grid.
There's one modded launcher available now, it's for the Sprint model but since it's just the launcher it works excellent on the international model (N910F) as well.

Cant you just... make nova... look like the basic one? Whats the difference?

does anyone know if there is an app that changes the layout of the homescreen? like 5x5 for icons, 6x6 (instead of the stock 4x4).
ADW Ex. (Free ADW may work too, I'm not sure.)
You can have up to 10x10 and icon size is adjustable too.
Adw ex is awesome. Well worth the money, trust me.

Is there an actual app instead of a custom launcher?
Launcher Pro also is a good choice

It would require a modified version of TouchWiz Launcher. There may be some floating around on XDA. Google search something like
"site:xda-developers.com touchwiz launcher modified"
How many of you have replaced the default launcher on your S4? What launcher are you currently using?
I switched from the TouchWiz launcher to Nova Launcher. It now has the ability to utilize the "Transparent Status Bar." If you are using one of the stock wallpapers, your status bar can be transparent while you are in the launcher, just like TouchWiz.

I've used go launcher for a long time. I'm thinking about switching to nova though. It seems like it has a lot of cool features.
Buzz Launcher ftw.
I've tried both Nova and Go on my S4. I liked both but am staying with Go for now. No big reason why. I just like some of the Go widgets better.
I use to use Nova all the time on my EVOs, but I didn't know if anyone noticed a performance degredation by switching launchers or not. I know until rolled Nova into my ROM on the EVO that it would chew down memory and slow down the device.
I use Nova.

I guess I'm in the minority but I use Apex launcher.
Hey nivron, or anyone using nova. Does that transparent nav bar feature only work on stock wallpaper? Or does user wallpaper show thru too? I'm willing to give Nova a run if so. I hate not having a transparent bar. And just confirming its the top bar with the clock/wif etc.?
Thanks

I just tested it with one of my other wallpapers and it seemed to work for me.

Apex and Nova are the most popular, but I use ADW Ex for some of the options that the others don't have. Consensus is usually Apex is smoothest.

I use nova as well. Try to make it look like touchwiz tho
use luncher pro all the time.
I use nova launcher prime. The best launcher to date in my opinion. Im not a fan of spending money but this one was worth it for the gestures, unread count, extra dock pages, and other features.

I've been using Apex since my e4gt, don't see myself using anything either.

No offense to you or either of those launchers, but that is just not true. Go has between 50 and 100 million downloads. The other two are between 1 and 5 million downloads. Heck, Go has over 1.2 million reviews! So I'd say Go is, by far, the most popular.
My question to you all that have replaced your default launcher with the launcher of your choice is this:
Do you notice a higher memory consumption or an increase/decrease in lag vs the default / Touchwiz
For me, Nova is as fast, if not faster than TouchWiz. I didn't really think TouchWiz was really laggy though.

Does anyone have the 5x6 launcher for tis S4 ???
Check out Nova Launcher - it will do 5x6 and much more.......
Most 3rd party launchers allow custom grid sizes in both the home screen and app drawer. But I agree, a version of TW which increases the grid size in the homescreen would be nice. It would effect widgets though, as there would be no resize option.

Nova allows resizing of widgets - it's a really good, snappy launcher that isn't a battery hog.

Again, the majority of 3rd party launchers allow widget resizing. The problem with a hacked version of TW to allow changes in homescreen gridsize is that it there is no widget resize option natively, which will cause widgets to sit off center or simply look wrong.

+1 for me. Similar to this mod for S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848582.
Love to fit more icons in 5" screen. Some apps provide widgets in different sizes (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, etc).
Hello,
I'm looking to buy this Note 3, does someone know if split-screen features work with alternative launchers (especially with nova launcher) ?
Thx for your answers.

Yes they do. I am only answering for Nova & Action Launcher.
Split-screen works on Aviate launcher also Don't think the split-screen has anything to do with what kind of launcher you have. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Works just fine with Apex launcher

work find with next launcher.
Thx a lot for your answers !
I am getting a little tired of saying this. This question and many like it have all been asked dozens of times before:
None of the additional features are part of Touchwiz. They are their own apps that are put on top of whatever launcher is in use.
They work in ANY launcher.
I find AOSP plain and boring so i try new homscreen replacement now and then and have compiled a list of top 5 android homescreen replacements and they are
1] Next launcher
2] Go launcher
3] themer
4] Buzz launcher
5] Nova launcher
here is the blog post i wrote about it Top 5 android theming apps

Also Apex Launcher (similar to Nova but some slight differences).
I tend to use either Nova or Apex (currently Nova since they were the first to add in KitKat's transparent status bar) but Themer is on track to be very cool for people who want something a little less like an extended version of the stock launcher. It's still in beta but it's from the folks at mycolorscreen who have become the best source for custom theming on Android.
My number 1 spot would go to Themer. Liked it from my old phone. Since I'm not that keen on customizing anymore, and I want to have Google Now with just 1 swipe away on my homescreen, I don't use it currently. But from all the launchers I have tried so far, themer is my favorite one. The second place goes to Action Launcher.
Good information sharing..
Where is the Mi Launcher?

about the launchers, my favorite atm is holo launcher...
cos all i need from a launcher is gesture swipes.. up & down for notification & app drawer..
nova & apex have these only in paid version..
i wish GEL would incorporate gestures..
along with access for google now & LMT, that would be perfect

I was always a nova user since i had a galaxy nexus. Since getting the nexus 5 though, i discovered more customization tools for themes and widgets, and ive been using Go launcher just because it works with the aesthetic/homescreen setup im currently using.
If nova launcher had a few more tweaks to it like icons not clipping/cropping, id probably go back to using it.

Yeah they updated it to work on their website but the play store version wasn't updated yet. I had a thread on it. The only thing I don't like about it is non transparent nav bar. The notification bar is transparent but not the nav bar. In the broken version it was transparent. Not sure why it was removed unless that's what caused the issues
