Hi K10 Community ?
I want to talk about "the best" launcher for our device
So if you have some idea post your HomeScreen
And let's talk about it
Google Pixel Launcher…
This is my HomeScreen
Nova Launcher
MinoS ROM 6.0.1 V1. NOVA LAUNCHER
This is my homescreen
And my app drawer
Yes, all used Launchers…
Seems like almost People are using Some Launchers, that I not used…
But after Pixel Launcher, I like Very Very Much Next Launcher, or Next Launcher 3D…

What is name of launcher, and name of widget app, is it stock one?
My homescreen. Pretty basic for now. As you can probably tell, I really like the pixel's frosted look.
Search bar is a custom KWGT widget. Pretty basic. I'd like to expand on it to have a drop down window with music controls and calendar, but I've been busy.
Phone and Messaging icons are from Whicons icon pack
Other icons are Retrorika icon pack
Launcher is Nova Launcher Prime
Rounded corners using Cornerfly....
Wallpaper changes with every unlock using Wallpaper Changer
What else...
Pie controls are from LMT Launcher, themed to match pixel style dock as best I could. Didn't spend too much time doing so, so it still looks clunky.
Hidden navbar by using adb shell to run
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
Modified LGSystemUI.apk to hide clock in status bar.
Other status bar icons hidden using adb shell
Code:
settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,alarm_clock,rotate,nfc
Umm... I think that's it. A ton of gestures with both Nova Launcher and LMT Launcher to open everything I use daily, as well as run tasker tasks, pull down notification screen, and lock screen.
Cool screeshots!! Here are mines.
Pic 1 -> Main Screen
Pic 2 -> Secondary Screen (possible widgets)
Pic 3 -> App Drawer
Pic 4 -> LockScreen
As I recently re-installed the system, specifically Android 6, I'm already testing it so I didn't focused on fully customize it for me yet. I just have all I need day by day on there.
JoeMoDo, I recommend to you to use the build.prop line (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1/0) to hide the navbar. Why? Using it insted of the shell command you use, you won't see remainder navbar on some apps, like stock camera, as other custom cams (Snap Camera), some games, etc.

I'm aware of the build.prop line, but prefer the immersive option. The only time I see the nav keys is when using the keyboard, and... I don't think any other time. Does not appear in camera. I prefer this option so the navbar can be swiped into view, and as a fallback in case the LMT service is killed (which hasn't happened, but I've experienced that on past devices).
I just reffered to that, sorry the misunderstanding.
You will solve the keyboard desappearing issue by doing that. And also I attached you 2 screenshots about what I was talking about before.

I use nova with two icon packs GUX Icons and galaxy S8 icon pack
The widget is from XWidget
Is not with stock camera, stock camera hides buttons by itself. I forgot to mention that.

I would like to have the notification bar off the (top of the) screen so I can have a full screen. If I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anyone could direct me how to do this on my own or with an already available application I would be very grateful.
Im on stock (rooted) G2 Tmobile Rom.
Yo I know you said you didn't want to change your launcher BUT if your using LauncherPro like 90% of the rest of the android community give Go Launcher a shot, it has the almost the EXACT same features as LP but it also includes the ADW ability to set actions for swipe up and down on the home screen (not just the dock) so you can hide the bar and then set down swipe on the home screen to pull down notifications, that's what I do
I just use ADW Launcher, it works very well, i don't care to change launcher.
LOL you don't wanna change your Launcher hmm ur a tuff cookie guy. Joking but for real Launcher Pro is the Best well in my opinion.
I like adw, more customizability. You can do it on lots of launchers but as far as I know you can't do it outside of the launcher. What launcher are you using now? Stock?

I will not take sides, but adw ex have more options in settings than LP. and can I ask where you read that 90% of users use android LP?
Yea it seems that I needed to replace my rom to fix it as it was a rom based feature.. thank you for all your assistance.
Anyone else not a big fan of the boring circular google icons on the Pixel?
How can I go back to the Marshmallow icons instead? I've searched the GPS and just find icons that you have to use with specific launchers. I don't want to change the stock Pixel launcher as I've grown to like it. Used to be a die hard Nova prime user on my Nexus 6.
Any recommendations for just swapping out the Google application icons to Marshmallow?

Just tried it - it not quite the same thing. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll have to figure out a different way to replace the ugly icons.
Another happy new Mix owner here. Given that the main feature of this phone is the bezel-less screen, this makes the home screen layout and wallpaper choice particularly significant to the overall effect.
I usually go for something dark but in this case I have gone for bright and minimalist to bring out the edges of the screen.
What are others doing?
Love the Clock, Is it part of a theme or standalone?
It's a zooper widget from King Rollo collection.

I'm using the icon pack Clix, you should find it on the playstore
Here's mine - Using TSF launcher, shame it no longer seems to be supported, but it's an awesome super smooth launcher with Elun icon pack. The clock is a TSF animated widget.

Wall paper is a live wallpaper I set up for water ripple effect.
Home bottom got cut off a bit when I took screen shot, it's should be full screen. And should be no notification bar on top also.
...i need a better way to snap screenshot
Hi,
here is my homescreen ... I am awaiting xiaomi code for root my device and setup some details with xposed...
Futuristic
it took some time but it works, took the screen shot but the notification bar should be hidden
I'm new to android modding (its been 2 tough years with a company phone being an iphone 6 and 6s+) can I use an icon pack without using the entire launcher? I like miui - I just hate that they round the icons and I have no idea how to turn that off without an icon pack
Hi,
I have a big issue with the fact that I can't change the app icons to the ones i want. If I try to use apps like Icon changer, i am warned that "Your launcher may not support creating shortcut via Icon changer ", hence I am not allowed to do so. How can i fix this ? I don't want to install icons from certain icon packs, I want to change them with specific pngs.
Thank you in advance,
Liviu
Use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova. Or wait for the developer to update Icon Changer. The phone has only been available for a few days, and I suspect a number of apps will need to be updated to support it.
I am surprised about the small icon size when you put a few icons in a folder. I change the resolution to HD+ but that makes them no much bigger.
Pixel 2 launcher show's much bigger icons using folders but I like somehow the stock launcher.
Any ideas how to make the icons in folder look bigger?

At first I was not that happy with Nova but.....
I found a backup for the S9 and did import and hat to tweak it a bit.
Here a screenshot of the touchwiz and one of the Nova launcher.
Touchwiz is the first thing I dump on a tablet or phone and I've used Nova since it first came out. Lately though I've been using Microsoft Launcher (formally Arrow) and like a lot if it's features.
Brought Nova Launcher but we love the Pixels stock launcher too much to default it. Is there any method/upcoming method for hiding it's icons? Root or nonroot welcome.

Just icons you wouldn't want to see/don't use. I'm referring to the hide launcher icons, like in Nova

If you press and hold an icon on the home screen to drag it, there's a "remove" option in the upper left. Drag the icon to that and it goes away. If you want it back, go to your apps drawer, press and hold and drag it back to the home screen.

I'd assume it's drawer icons of unused apps he wishes to hide not those on the home screen.
There's lawnchair that currently has alpha builds out for the Android 12 launcher.

Apart from having the ability to hide icons, you can install an icon pack. Keep in mind it's in alpha and they're still working on implementing new features and whatnot.
Works a lot better if rooted in conjunction with QuickSwitch.

True, my bad for the rough explanation!
Yep, with Nova, you can add/remove/customize completely at will. You now have so much power with Nova, you probably won't realize just what to do with it all until you happen to find out everything you can do. It's awesome!

Nova was my main launcher on the OP7T for the last 2 years, and while I know I've never used all the features I'd say I'm pretty proficient with it. I just prefer to use the Pixels default launcher honestly! Guess I'll be using Nova again tho, until someone cooks up icon hiding and customization
