Already been covered a while back but today I got an update for home 5.0 see pic.
Much smoother than home 4.0

Good to see they brought the app drawer back. Did they also bring back the ability to re-arrange your home screens? That was a bigger annoyance to me and the main reason I installed another launcher.

Is there anything compelling here that would make it worth using over Nova?

Wallpaper scroll on ICS

Hello all...
How I can enable my wallpaper scrolling on my ICS..??
Regards...
You can't. Samsung removed that ability. Rumor has it Apple invented scrolling wallpaper shortly after they developed Fire and The Wheel.

CM9 has it though if you ever go down that road.
What about wallpaper wizardry @ the play store?

Was waiting to see someone say that, next suggestion will be to use Apex, Nova or any of the new launchers. Unless one of them very recently added it back in somehow, none of these suggestion will work anymore. At first the initial removal of the feature was still working using Wallpaper Wizardry. Somewhere along the lines they got rid of it altogether. Even using Apex/Nova and setting a scrolling wallpaper through WW did nothing.

i was going to mention go launcher too. it is easy to use, and a lot you can do with it. i never see anyone mention it here though
I didn't think of Go... I usually avoid Go products because of the bloat and battery drain.
LauncherPro looks like it's working for scrolling wallpaper. It's just fairly long in the tooth these days...

Lmao, I was wondering why my wallpaper wouldn't scroll. Alot of people are fine with LauncherPro still, even on ICS. If you don't mind it, give it a go.

Full Home?

I noticed a lot of specific settings aren't in the areas you would think, like lock screen is security for quick apps and stuff.
Anyways, is there a setting where when you press your home button it brings you to your home screen page? Instead of the page you where previously on for you stuff? Like your center page (home) or what ever you set, instead of 2nd page to the right where you may have opened an app?
mine takes me to my home page every time.

I just noticed that mine does not go to give with one press. But a second press does. Guess I just got use to it lol.
Btw I'm using nova prime, it a lot snappier then stock launcher. And you can customize pretty much any icon you want. Setting Swype gestures for different things is worth it.

Pinch your screen, from any screen in TW, and you'll have the option of removing, adding, and rearranging screens. Each screen also will have a home icon on it, which you can long-press to activate. This will designate any screen of your choice ce as your home screen.

it is similar to the one we have now, just that it has like a multiple page support type of lock screen with widgets. so the main lockscreen page is there and if you swipe left or right, there is another page with widgets from what i have seen

That sounds really cool. I hope we can get this. I miss having widgets on my lockscreen without using a third party app.

Launchers

What Launcher are you guys using? I personally use Nova, paired with the G3 stock ui is a pretty sweet combination and improves performance.
Apex, pretty much the same
Nova all the way.
But I'm wondering how Nokia's zLauncher is. And/Or will the 18k plus laying off of jobs by Microsoft will affect zLauncher?
I use Nova too but original LG widgets are unable to load on Nova. Anyway workarounds?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm using LG Home for the LG widgets. I really like their calendar widget. I wish the left panel was a bit more useful, though. I'll probably eventually switch back to Nova.

Tried both LG launcher and Nova Prime. Nova is significantly snappier than the LG launcher so I went that route.

I usually always use Nova, but since day one I've used LG. Sure I'll end up using Nova but once you go there....your there! I'm trying to hold out and give stock a chance. Makes my phone still feel new instead of the same themes I've used on my S5, on my Note3 on my Nexus, Etc etc etc.......
I'm still optimistic about getting my LG Smart World themes to work.
I wonder if I can port Touchwiz Themes from my S5?????

The way I have it now is;
Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then set double tap in Gestures (Nova Settings) to launch Screen Off. Works perfect, however I would love to find a solution without the use of a third party screen off app.
Thanks, that works great!

I'm using the G3 TweaksBox exposed module and there is an option for a double tap of the notification bar to turn the screen off. It doesn't work on the whole screen, but just the notification bar, so you have to have good aim. Lol. But it does work well.
Nova is working flawless for me

Double tapping the status bar works by default on stock to turn the screen off.

Just waiting until Nova releases Pixel-style search and app drawer options. Stock until then.

The current beta of Nova (5.0.0b6) can do this now. I swipe up from the dock to reveal the app drawer, which I've configured to be a box with the most recently used apps on top.
Lockscreen is boring. Nearly pure black besides notifications.

What lock screen are you using? Since Ambient Display doesn't ever turn back on after the notification comes in, I'm looking for an alternative. I miss moto display already.
