Grid Size - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Good morning all!
Anyone now how to increase the grid size to 6 x 6, 7 x 6, 7 x 7, or anything larger than what the phone currently has?
I'm on Verizon and rooted with xposed installed.
Thanks in advance and have a blessed day!

I think you will have to install a different launcher. I didn't mess around with touchwiz much. I use NOVA and you can set it to whatever you want.

I think you will have to install a custom launcher. NOVA allows a lot of option including what you are looking for. I don't know if touchwiz has this option.

Thanks. I used to have some zip files for my Note 4 that would change the size on Touchwiz. Hopefully someone will do the same for the S8.
Otherwise I'll have to go with another launcher like you recommended.

Many, the most popular are NOVA Launcher and APEX Laucher, very customizable too And yes, you can remove rosie.
Ok,thank you,i will download that zip and flash it,hope it works on stock ROM.Doesn't matter if is odexed right?
I am using Go Launcher but i hate the fact that the notification bar cannot be modified,i hate the sense notification bar and i love the way the new bar looks on galaxy nexus.
Sorry for slow reply but I think the only way to get a different notification bar is custom rom are you on jellybean or ics?

You don't actually remove Rosie launcher just use a different one you can easily swap back by using the app reset preferences!

Hi all, by "Rosie" do you mean Sense? Just grab the ROM CLEANER 3.0 and flash from CWM. Then go thru the simple Aroma affair selecting "No Sense" and select an alternative launcher rom the list. Easy peasy. :laugh: I used this about a month ago been on HoloLauncher HD aiming for as much AOSP as possible. Very very happy with ROMCLEANER even lets u deactivate the Sense Lockscreen! AOSP all the way for me!

Also you can pick any lockscreen or none without root and there's no advantage to remove it IMO it's just asking for trouble you may as well keep it but definatly backup!!!

Cool,i have one question since you've tried the ROM CLEANER.After you used the ROM cleaner,did the Status Bar(Notifications Bar) remained Sense?
Yes actually u r correct the status bar never alters, today I updated to Jellybean (3uk h3g) and after unlocking bootloader and flashing touch recovery and JBsuperSU, I am now running ROMcleaner3.0 NO SENSE again and I would say the sense bar this time was more transparent whereas now it is black. Maybe something to do with Holo Launcher theme.

REQUEST: Transparent Nav bar mod

I guess that everyone agrees that the black nav bar is irritating and no aesthetically appealling
thus it would be great if we could change the color or transparency of the default black navigation bar.
Currently AOKP and other custom roms have these functions but is it possible to have these functions as well with the stock rom and without installing custom roms?
Maybe just a simple zip file, flash and forget? Possible?
Oh well

Ok Guys!
After searching there and here didnt help. So you have to be on Paranoid Android and on the system settings go to customization - Hybrid properties - swipe right and got to interface. scroll down to Global Color and check the ENABLE per app color. G back to Apps Which is Under Interface and find your launcher - press on it and there you go!!!!

Me Too for stock 4.2.1
You can't have this and a stock ROM. Android apps don't draw underneath the navigation bar. Custom firmware like paranoid android modify the launcher to draw underneath so transparent navigation bar actually shows something.

GEL Launcher for Moto G

EDIT: Google Now Launcher is official on Google Play! Unfortunately, you need GPE Moto G to get it. Otherwise you can simply download the .APK, it will still work on standard Moto G. According to XDA you need 4.4.2 to actually get it to work though, but maybe it does work on 4.3? I'm not sure. Here it is!

Hi everybody! This is the Google Experience Launcher from nexus devices and i found an APK that works with our Moto G.
I posted this because i read around the 4.4 ota threads and some people didn't like the regular stock launcher and they wanted the google experience launcher instead.
Well, here it is! :good:
Works on KitKat AND Jellybean! Though i'd use it on KitKat so the experience feels better :good:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/
Here is the link! All you need to do is to download it and then just install the APK! Works perfectly on the Moto G.
Also saying "Ok Google" works perfectly.
All credit goes to android police for the APK and Google for the launcher. :good:
An addendum to your post: It will also work on Android 4.3. I used it on my HTC One with CM 10.2 and CM 11 and my Moto G with stock 4.3 and 4.4 and it works perfectly on both versions.

Done
Thanks for uploading this! Interestingly, and sadly, I noticed the dialer doesn't include the KitKat "busines search" feature. This is something I would have used a lot, so I'm sad to see it not included. It's evidently a problem on the MotoX as well, so Motorola must be leaving the feature out of its KitKat builds for whatever reason.
GEL is great, I like how I get to choose how many home screens & choosing widgets/wallpaper the old school way. One thing I do miss is having the perm shortcut to the Google play store visible in the appdrawer

One thing however, how do you switch back to the original launcher if you want to. Short of uninstalling GEL

If anyone is interested, the touchless control "hotword" feature does work. I can say "ok google" on home and speak a command. Under Google Settings > Voice, Language must be set as English (US) - English (UK) does not work. The 'Hotword detection' option should be available there.
I habe the problem that the icons are not really sharp when I use the Google experience launcher.
Has anyone the same problem or a solution?

From my understanding that's because it was made for nexus 5 with a bigger screen and better pixel density. Since our screens are smaller, it makes the icons larger and not as sharp.

Anyway to keep the GEL and get the icons smaller and sharper? Kinda ruins it for me .. Although the main reason I wanted this was for the improved dialer.

Confirmed working on Moto G running GEL. As mentioned in the video, only certain themes are compatible. Stark works fine and free theme Black.
There is an article on Forbes.com suggesting GEL will be officially available for all devices at some point in the future:
While the hack to apply GEL to your device is simple, the fact Google keeps updating it to work increasingly smoothly on an ever wider variety of devices indicates it will soon become an official option for all Android handset owners.
Should this happen it will be a key moment for the future of Android. It gives users who want the stock Android experience the option to have it without being forced to buy a Nexus or ‘Google Play Edition’ device yet it should not alienate manufacturers who can still sell their devices with their own skins as differentiators. In fact GEL may even see manufacturers up their game as many third party skins for Android are poorly coded and slow down the user experience. With an option to dump them for a stock Android experience at any moment this tardiness is unlikely to continue for long.

you should be able to replace it with one in the note edge forums.. I used one on the vzw s5 but can't remember which one..

Is it possible only to keep the swipe up action to open the app list and remove the drawer icon?
