How can I configure the settings for the moto launcher? I want to add more apps to the dock. The limit right now is 5. I want to add a 6th or 7th to the dock. When I drag and drop it says "no more room in favorites tray"
I want these on my dock:
1. Phone
2. Txt
3. Chrome
4. Photos
5. Camera
6. Bluemail
I briefly tried Microsoft and Nova launcher and didn't like them.
Thanks!

Lawnchair, Hyperion Launcher, CPL, there's a bunch of them. And what part did you not like about Nova? Most likely you just didn't want to take your time and configure it to your liking, that's all.

I only tried it for a few minutes. Im happy with the basic launcher besides for its lack of adding more than 4X5 and 5X5 grid.

Is there a way to get the Tab to display downloaded apps in alphabetical order? My other Android devices all mange to do it.
Ive noticed that if you delete a app, and then download a new one it, that app will get placed in that "empty" spot in alpha order, also there should be a search function like the htc's
If you're talking about the Launcher Tray, TouchWiz (the Samsung Launcher) just plain doesn't do this. You can use a replacement launcher like ADW, ADW EX, Launcher Pro, Home+, Open Home, et cetera. Most Launcher's do, with reason, alphabetize, but Samsung's does not, and has no setting to make it sort.
... or you can manually rearrange the icons. Applications>Soft Menu Button>Edit ... Drag&Drop
just cls cache in apps management
Jarez - could you walk me through the steps to do that? thanks
Mike
The best option is to throw touchwiz away and install LauncherPro, ADW or so... it will make your life happier in the end...

hi, can somebody elaborate on the steps to do this. many thanks.
This works: Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All tab->Samsung Home and click on Clear cache.
Note: This will clear your widgets and desktop settings too.

When you say clear do you mean remove them? I only want to have them in order not removed completely.

This really is the best advice. You're better off getting used to a more advanced launcher replacement early on, than regularly butting up against the limitations of the stock or Samsusng ones until you finally give in and use one. YMMV, but if you use your Tab a lot, you'll appreciate the added features. There are plenty out there, but LP and ADW are the most popular and certainly the easiest ones to find help/info on on the forums.
I would suggest you get ADW Launcher or ADW Launcher Ex (seems to be a tad faster than ADW) if you want to retain the horizontal pagination style of the app drawer. It also sorts alphabetically and has catalogs which let you create icon groups.
I find ADW Launcher Ex is the closest to TouchWiz when configured correctly. It also has the option of coloring the icons' backgrounds similar to what TouchWiz does if a bit off from the original. Then again no launcher is perfect.
I've actually recently fallen in love with the "4D" vertical in ADW Ex. The little flow at the top and bottom is nice, but in general the verticals with the smooth unpaginated view seems to make it faster for me to get where I want to go, especially as an app junkie. It seems like the paginated ones in any launcher are just a bit slower to load too (maybe determining the page breaks, I don't know). I also agree that none is perfect, but ADW is getting there
How to disable the google search on the Nexus 4 screen.. I dont generally use that for any search and want to disable it..
use a different launcher like Nova or Apex.

Exactly.
I enjoyed using Nova to change icon size and enlarge the grid to fit more icons in the row. Even if you don't make any changes other than getting rid of the Google search widget, I'd recommend giving Nova a try.

chekit out

I don't find any reason for accessing internet with a time gap even when the recommended apps list is off. And by killing the background apps completely you can boost any launcher. So nothing special.
I switched to it. Had to turn app recommend off. Was using nova prime like everyone bit fed up with tinkering and the space all those custom packs take up
Y would you want to make your phone like an iPhone?

Why*
This is an ignorant statement.
Why would you make your phone like Ubuntu?
Why would you make your phone like Firefox?
Why would you make your phone like Windows?
Why would you make your phone like ChromeOS?
Because Android. That's why.
We can ultimately customize our phone to whatever degree we wish, why not take advantage of it?
Hi. Does anyone know how to uninstall the apus launcher? There is no uninstall option in the playstore, es file explorer deletes the file but the app generates it again and deactivating it from the settings doesnt work aswell it activates on its own. I would like to use the normal google launcher and delete all apps that i dont need.
Many thanks

Uninstall it under settings.
I tried this launcher. Didn't look light and small. I still haven' find better launchers as apex or nova.
@Mario thanks but tried it all...wont work.
APUS
Cool!
Tried it, it was fast and snappy but I just couldn't get past the bloat,
Feedback,themes, wallpapers of Asian girls, and the other icons in the app draw, I removed many features in the settings to help.
If it was light without that stuff it would be great, I like nova and apex too much

Try the Nokia one. No bloat. Takes widget and icons. No app draw. Learns to prioritise the apps You use. Just saying...

I see you've come to learn how to change the Amazon Fire HD 6/ Amazon Fire HD 7 Wallpaper with no root required! Now before we begin, I must explain something. There are two methods that I've discovered and they both have their pros and cons so please don't complain. Let's begin!
Method 1:
Now this method applies only to certain launchers, for example the only launchers that have worked for me that I've tried so far are: Jolla Launcher and Buzz Launcher. You just have to set your wallpaper and it just works. I do think that this works by using an overlay effect but I'm not completely sure.
Method 2:
Now this has some disadvantages: You can't have apps over the image and the image doesn't cover the whole screen but most of it.
Download the apk from here: "apkgames.apk.onl/app/com.billyfrancisco.photogallerywidget.html" and install it.
Next on a launcher you want to use this on, app a widget and choose the 5x5 widget choose the picture you want to set and there you go. You can also scale the widget to make the image bigger or smaller.
Thanks for checking this thread out and I hope I helped!
yes i used buzz launcher and thanks to powerpoint45 for gapps and default launcher tutorial. Now i love HD 6 even more bc of the 6" size lol. The only thing that I really need is root and adaway, otherwise it's awesome no complaint.
Do widgets work with buzzlauncher ?
I think they do I'll have to check.
yes widgets work
Installed buzz launcher, disabled stock launcher via ADB but can't add widgets to homescreens. Just end up in the Fire HD Settings Menu, same issue as I had with Nova Launcher when trying to add widgets.

Can you tell me how you are adding the widget(s)? Are you tapping them? Dragging them out? Also, try adding a different widget if one isn't working.
just go to app draw then hit widget tab, from there just hold any widget to the homescreen .
Here is the sample: spotify, flipboard, weather, youtube.

long press on homescreen, add, choose widget.
Only one that worked was the googel search bar, pretty much everything else ends up in the Fire HDs settings menu.
*edit* Tried dragging the widgets out of the app drawer, same result.
Maybe it's related to blocking all the Amazon processes as per this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58360063&postcount=5
So I tried unblocking everything except com.amazon.kindle.otter(the native Fire HD launcher) and rebooted the device.
Tried to add widgets again but nope, none except the fire HDs natives internet search bar works. Not even the buzz widgets.

Are you using the built-in Buzz Launcher Widgets? It could be those. Try installing other widgets and let me know if that works because it's probably just the Buzz Launcher Widgets. Also, try applying a different theme as for some themes may not allow certain widgets.

Yes I've tried loads.
VLC, 1Weather, google now, google calendar, calculator,email, tapatalk, google play music, ....
Another theme is a good idea...which one you're using in your screenshot ?
I've tried 2 or 3 random themes but with those adding widgets also doesn't work(pops up system Settings menu)
It works
By doing what as you told, it seems like works, good job for you!
Thanks so much Works for me.

For anyone wanting to make the stock ASUS Launcher look a bit more like stock Lollipop, I found an icon pack called LolliPop Colored on the Play Store. Applied via the icon packs setting in the launcher, it doesn't do anything other than change the wallpaper and app drawer icon. I then use the standard Nexus blue wallpaper.
You can get the same result by using the Google Now launcher. Plus it's an official app. You'll also get the "Okay google" function from any screen using this launcher instead.

Sure you can use google now, or nova or apex. That's not the point. For various reasons some people, myself included, want to use the stock Asus launcher. This is just a way to have it slightly nearer in appearance to stock lollipop's material design. Oh, and "OK Google" from any screen is available in the stock launcher too - it's an option in Google settings.

Sorry, I don't know how to share links for google play store apps (there's no sharing option like there is on apple app store). But if you search "LolliPop Colored theme" it will be top of the search results (it's by Alper Selzer)
I installed xposed framework yesterday. Using gravitybox module to activate softkeys (and expanded desktop so that can hide them again easily). Then used Xstana module to change the ASUS softkeys and status bar icons to Lollipop style. With WM Density changed to 270 (on my 550) I now have the stock ASUS Launcher just how I want it
Im still not root but i envy those navigation bars
guess have to get one too hehe
iphone
Now we can easily get iphone looks without any file, in latest ASUS launcher.

Because you have ASUS Apps on your ZenFone 2, not Google Apps.
Nova launcher with glim icon pack
I have all Google app installed I think.
What do you mean by Google App ?
Asus say me to see whith Google but Google says me to see whith ASUS.
Thnaks for your help.
What apps' icons are you talking about? If you mean things like settings, dialer and downloads, then you have ASUS versions instead of Google/AOSP, so the icons are different. Using Google Now launcher won't change those icons.
