Change screen grid size - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Tearing my hair out - I have read everywhere under the sun that there is a setting for 4x4, 4x5, or 5x5 screen grid with the default launcher. Mine is 4x5 and there is no such setting to be found.
Long press on home screen brings up Wallpapers, Widgets, and Settings. Nothing about grid size.
The Settings option has App Suggestions and Allow Rotation toggles. Nothing about grid size.
PE1 stock rooted ROM at the moment if that matters.
Help!

This is the options I get on stock launcher after long pressing on home screen. When you select screen grid then you can select from the options you listed above. Currently running 5×5 myself, have been since I bought the phone

Right, I know that's what I'm supposed to see. But as I said in my original post, that's not what I see. See attached-- no Screen grid option! And there's not one under Settings, either.

OK my hair is mostly gone but I did figure this out!
When I was setting up the phone I did the back-to-back restore settings with my Moto X Pure. This automatically installed and applied the Google Now Launcher! TouchWiz has the 5x5 grid launcher but Google Now does not.
So, I switched it to the TouchWiz launcher. Unfortunately all the screens that had been so cleverly duplicated from my other phone were lost. So I switched back to Google Now Launcher and I guess I'll live without 5x5!

That sucks but glad you figured it out.2

Been using Nova ever since Apex kinda went to crap on my GNexus back in 2012 or so. Still using it to this day. With 1080p/QHD on 5-inch or larger screen, 6x5 is the way to go if you ask me. I cringe at my wife and other Note users with their default layout and 4x4 grid on such a huge screen, and using the default icons and widgets that Samsung puts there. So they get 8 icons on their main screen beneath the weather widget, with a ton of wasted space. Reminds me of my frustrations with iPad.....4x5 grid and no options to change it, including in the 12" iPad Pro that my wife has. With jailbrake, my Air 2 was set to 8x6 grid and it still had plenty of white space. Stupid iOS anyway, hehe.

I used Nova a couple time on different devices several years ago and liked the feature set, but each time found it had a negative impact on stability, so I quit using it. How is that aspect these days?
I now expect my phone to go a week or three without ever being shut down or having an unexplained reboot. Can I expect that with Nova?

LauncherPro FTW!

I just switched from sense to Launcher Pro Beta, and I must say that it is amazing... It's just so much more predictable and useful, not to mention faster and smoother. On top of that, from what I have heard, it is great for battery life, just switched so I haven't had a chance to test that out yet.
If you haven't given it a shot yet, download it from the market and try it out, I promise you will not regret it. Its MUCH better than sense. I never had a problem with sense, but I just figured Id try something new, and it paid off...
P.S Does anybody know if the new software patch that came out today will be included in any of the developers roms? I'm not to sure how that stuff works.
ADW.Launcher is also a worthy alternative, imo. Very customizable.

There should be an updated DamageControl out tonight built off the OTA.
And yes, LauncherPro is definitely the best launcher that I've used! I love it!
I downloaded this from the market to try it out but it doesn't look like anything has changed. How do I switch to it and possibly back?

Press the Home key, and you should get an option to select between HTC Sense, Launcher, and LauncherPro. If that doesn't work, just download Home Switcher from the Market.

There we go, thank you.
I loved the extra speed and how the shortcuts were laid out. I also liked that you didnt have to have the writing under each icon. BUT I missed my full screen calendar, toggle widgets, etc. So Im back to sense. I dont have access to these when using a different launcher. Am I doing something wrong?

You can't use HTC widgets outside of the Sense launcher. However, there are replacement widgets in the Market for almost everything you are missing. For example, Pure Grid Calendar Widget and Weather & Toggle Widgets.

I played around with it after that post, but just couldnt get it how I wanted it AGAIN. So Im back to sense haha. I really need 6 icons on the dock at the bottom to avoid extra icons on my home screen. I also wanted a 4G toggle to match the rest, and that doesnt seem to be out. The only one out (that I could find) is a light bulb..

You know with LauncherPro you can change it to 5 rows of icons (20 total) on the screen at once, right? You can potentially have 28 more slots than with Sense.

Im talking about JUST the dock at the bottom. Not shortcuts added to the screen itself. Right now I have the rosie bar at the bottom that launches my app drawer/phone/etc. Then I have 4 icons above it. Handcent, Gmail, Internet and People. With LauncherPro I can have all 4 of those on the dock, but then the 5th spot is taken by either the app drawer or phone. I want both. I know you can do the scroll thing, but its not the same. I just like a simple look and wanted everything I have now on my HOME screen.
Here is the setup now. I want all of the same access on the home screen, and it cant be done with LauncerPro. 5 short cuts on the dock and then a random widget on the screen just wouldnt look as clean.

ADW.Launcher works pretty good.
A few things I like:
- You can make as many columns and rows of Icons as you want per screen (up to 8 x 8, so that would be 64 icons per screen).
- Swipe down anywhere on a screen to make the top bar come down

ADW or LauncherPro

Been looking a ADW over @ modaco!
Now we've got 2.1, anyone here tried Launcherpro?
I've tried both.
Launcher Pro is very slick however you are stuck with 4 x 4 icons as far as I can tell.
ADW you can put more icons on the screen and can also lock it into portrait by using the persistence option, so that's what I use now (even though I'd previously paid for Launcher Pro on my last phone, d'oh).
Been messing with ADW over the last hour, I've got so much more screen space, i'm not sure what to do with it all
Also sorted my fancy widget, which 2.1 really screwed up.

Can you guys export your adw settings regards to icons nd widgets? I've been trying but cant seem to get it right. Looks aweful.

I've tried ADW after reading this and it looks like it has real potential but I have a daft question. How do you add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the drawer as per the stock launcher but they just disappear and I've tried creating shortcuts but that just seems to launch the app.
Toute, if holding your finger on the screen and choosing shortcut -then application-then choose app- launches the app then some thing is wrong and I recommend reinstalling adw
It should work in the same way as the standard launcher, except dragging from the app menu-which has never worked for me

When in ADW in landscape look to the right side of screen you should see a vertical bar with two shortcut icons and what looks like a grid.
Tap the grid this will launch the ADW app drawer (black backround etc) scroll to the app you want then just tap it.
This is an awesome bit of kit, it's like have two phones, trying to set it up so i've got the Dell launcher for work and ADW for play. Sought of 'SPAS-12' with pump or auto.

Thanks Checkbox, that's pretty much the same as the drop down drawer, neither is too convenient when you have loads of apps. Besides, I've got 5 screens to play with, it would be criminal not to fill them all up with my most used apps. I can separate them by type this way too, general/work/games/photography/technical etc.
If you want the look of ADW in 'Streak Launcher' try Multicon Widget http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon
Awesome
Running launcher pro and its awesome. I thought it was possible to change the location of the of the dock to one of the four sides of the screen (top, bottm, left, and right). Has this feature been removed or am I missing something?
thanks cheers.
launcher pro or go launcher if u want resizeable widgets
launcher pro if u want 6 x 8 icons
go launch if u want 30 desktops

Not so awesome under Stage UI. The icons are not spaced correctly. The icons show up in groups of four and don't look like it flows like the Multicon homepage shows. Also there's wasted space between Fancy Widget and the Multicon icons.

Instal ADW with Gingerbread theme (the backround looks fantastic on Streak)
Instal Launcherpro and use that, you then have Launcherpro with a backround that i can't find or replicate properly, looks awesome.

Tried LLP and it works better, but I can't remove the dock on LP. And can't

Guess I'll have to write to ADW and ask for a option to remove it.
I have been writingsoftware for ages and that is why I stay away from UX. Cannot please everyone (including me LOL)

This kinda stopped me from using ADW too...it would be nice if 'lock desktop' could be replaced with 'Apps' or any option we like.
I did email the dev about this a while ago when the Transformer came out but the reply sounded like it won't be updated.
Is there another launcher that removes the top row, enable swipe up/down and without or capable to hide the dock?

Try GO Launcher, it has swipe up/down also.
Only thing is it's not in the Market but you can side load it plus it's jsut not as good as ADW EX but that's just my opinion.
On the plus side it has gestures and you can resize widgets like the default launcher

Only if we could have ADW + Stock top (with the My Apps and + button)
that would be PERFECT.
From what I've read on the adw thread in the theme forum, the developer is working on being able to get rid of that top adw button and quite possibly even getting rid of that whole upper section too.
I tried Launcher pro and even optimized it but it still didn't feel as smooth and responsive as adw. I honestly think adw is perfect except for that top icon section.

Yeah,
Latest ADW launcher EX updates just made a complete mess of my 'hubs' style homescreens setup. I'm really pissed off.
Even if they have reverted the option to disable the now-unified dock bar with the .56 update, I still have my vertically arranged 'simple text' icons shifted-off to the right (leaving a wastelando of screen realstate to the left of the tab) and the ones I had on the right hand side are completely gone! Damn!
To top that, I had a toggle icon on my homescreen linked to the "Show/Hide ActionBar" ADW action ...and that option is now completely gone! My icon does nothing and I don't find a way to hide the top action bar where the access to the ADW settings is, for example.

Bind the Show/Hide to swipe up our down and you should be good. Also, you can readd the shortcut as a custom shortcut to launcher actions.
After you do all that just to get back to the way it used to work what benefit do you get from updating to the latest version?

Wow, I didn't realize ADW made the wallpaper look so different. Maybe try setting the wallpaper with another gallery app like quickpic? There's also a non-market app that's designed to set the Tab's wallpaper without hacking off the edges like the stock gallery does, but I forget what it's called.

Nova Launcher Redraws

It seems I'm having problems with Nova launcher with redraws and widgets crashing. This is the same as happened on LGG3 2gb version but I thought the extra RAM would on the N4 would stop this.Anyone else having this problem? I haven't had long enough try stock yet but Nova seems a mess.

Nova launcher is running smooth on my Note 4 as well as my G3, never had any problems.
No issues here either. Perhaps give the latest beta a try and see....

I may have sorted it. The touch wiz launcher was also running in the background so that may have been using a lot of RAM as well as Nova. Seems OK now I think.

Hi, you can use this : http://https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncedsynapse.eventflowwidget it's good
I've been using Nova for long long time and nothing happened to me at all, I restored the backup from my M7 to Note 4 with TB, everything runs smooth and fast~
I switched to Nova on the first day because of the lag with the Google Keep widget (that displays actual notes) . It would stutter a bit when I would scroll to the page where the widget was present. Even with fancy animations enabled, Nova is running without slowdown or lag.
edem84, I also miss the monthly calendar widget, but found Month: Calendar Widget to be a good replacement. It does not display names of daily events, but you can tap the days and the event appears very smoothly. It also has a nice, free Google Now theme.

This is a major showstopper for me, too. I love attaching memos to the screen more than I hate TouchWiz (and I hate it a lot).
I can't get my app animation to actually slide up lollipop style, has anyone gotten this to work? I enabled it in the settings but it's not working.

You can however still see the memo preview in the bigger S-note widgets
