Has anyone managed to get third party apps to work with the mentioned?
I can't seem to use any thirdparty launcher apps to swipe left or right to switch applications and it's honestly bothering me alot.
I've also tried using quickswitch+lawnchair but seems like lawnchair doesn't work for our ROM, keep getting some java permission error.
At this rate I wish a custom rom would be available quick so I can just get off this horrible OS..
Been trying the same since I got mine, it only works with the nubia launcher, i kinda get used to pull the background apps and move through it when I need to switch. Definitely it’s a funny os this one
Same problem...
But I want to switch the launcher only to change the icons to the circles, maybe someone knows how to do that in nubia launcher?

Maybe with pix material you? I'm not sure if it changes the icons shape though, I think lawn chair does that for me...

I'm not going to ask which launcher or anything like that. I already have one in mind if I do decide to go that route.
What I want to know is if they are worth it or not? Do they slow the phone down at all? As it seems as an overlay to an overlay.
I see some, like nova, have a add-on for unread counts for messages and calls and things. Is this saying that without this add-on I won't have a count for missed messages or a notification at all?
Thanks you for the input

In comparison to the stock LG launcher you'll find you'll actually have a smother experience. Launchers like holo or nova are really light weight and have a smaller footprint in memory than the stock launcher. When you choose a new launcher as default the lg launcher is closed. Or at least resources are being prioritized to the default launcher. I'm a beginner when it comes to how android handles processes so maybe someone else can offer a better explanation. The addons for nova add unread counts to icons on homescreens, app drawer and folders. You'll still get all notifications through the status bar. Its just eye candy and extras you get for the paid version of the launcher.

Won't hurt to check out other launchers. If you dont like them simply uninstall and your back to where you were
ADW is old school and basic, I prefer that. Holo is decent so is Apex, but my go to is always Nova. They're all fun to play with.
It's worth it. I use Nova and it's faster and has more organization and customization options than stock LG or AOSP. Just the speed and being able to hide apps from the app drawer is worth it for me. For reference, Nova runs way faster on my Nexus 7 than the JB launcher.
lots of good options. Nova is a great one, but I like Apex and Holo.
To answer your question, if you don't install extensions, then you won't have the message count on the app icon, but that's all it does. I personally don't like it, so I have never installed it.
Honestly though, if you aren't a "power user" who likes to tinker with all of the options in the launcher, Apex, Holo and Nova are all very similar.
Can someone explain the dock as overlay option? Isn't the dock always visible on the home screen?

Default, the dock is basically an extra row of icons ON the desktop, that carries over from screen to screen.
Dock as overlay changes your dock to being a row of icons that is on a layer separate from your desktop. As an example, you can turn this on and turn on a slide up gesture to toggle dock, which would give you a kind of mini app drawer on top of the desktop. If you did not turn this on, toggling dock would bump your desktop icons up and down, as it would then be a part of the desktop and not be a layer on top of it.
Hi All
I am new here, recently rooted and installed the CM11 ROM
So far so good. Just wondering however.
The Icons and overall feel of the OS seems very large to me, and in some icons even pixalated (Instagram app)
Is this normal?
Also when I rotate the tab into landscape the text from the apps are cut off, its like it doesnt fit onto the page.
Do i need to install a launcher such as Apex?or GPE?
Thanks

hi, when you rotate into landscape the letters are indeed cut off, this is a bug of cyanogen and i believe that they ll fix it sometime. If you want smaller icons long press on desktop screen, select settings and change the number of rows and columns. If you select bigger number the icons will become smaller and i managed to see the whole text of icons with a particular number of rows and columns.

Do you mind me asking which row and columns you have?
I installed KK launcher just to see if there would be a difference.
And there is a massive difference. The icons are much more crisp and smooth and smaller.
Not sure if its just my ROM.

yeah I forgot to tell you to install a different launcher, cyanogen launcher is bugged, it's not just your rom. I use 7 rows and 6 columns and I use it mostly on portrait mode, if I put 8 rows then the icons look really messed up

Great thanks for this!
Any recommendations on a good Launcher?
Do I have to remove the current CM11 launcher or do they both run at the same time?
Cheers

if you install a custom launcher it will replace the stock, no need to uninstall cyanogens launcher. Unfortunately i havent found much time to experiment with the launchers, although i want sometime to change cyanogen's launcher. The most popular launchers by far are go launcher ex and nova launcher. I want to try someday next launcher 3d, it's created from the development team of go launcher ex and it has some really cool 3d effects.
if you are more technically inclined try changing ro.sf.lcd_density= in your build.prop to something lower like 270, I believe it's set at 320 or something like that ala nexus.
in setting you can choose between launcher3 and the Google Experince Launcher (It's simply called launcher). the Google Experience Launcher works great.
I installed nova launcher and the desktop looks way much better than in cyanogen's launcher. Nova launcher is a simple launcher though, with few options available for customise. But it works really great and it does the job.
Hi , I saw this layout on someone's iphone - http://i.imgur.com/cZBoGeA.png and I really liked it.
How can I achieve something similar?
easy with Zooper and if you could find the right iconpack!

I google the screen you show and what i can see the icons are called "Custom Gotham icons"..
You can achieve this pretty easily, with the exception of the extreme upper and extreme lower portions, for those you'd need to install a different launcher on Android like Nova Launcher.
I'm really not a fan of those though, so to achieve the other 90% of it, you'd just need the background wallpaper, then use Zooper to make the clock widget, and although you could use Zooper to make the icon layout(s), I would say that once you have the icon set and/or icon images, using an app called Quick Shortcut Maker is the best way to make/set/assign custom icons for every app on your phone.
However depending on how many icons you want in the rows/columns, Zooper maybe the only way to go if you want a configuration other than what your stock launcher offers.
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.
I was bored in class so I've made on inkscape some wallpapers for my OnePlus 5.
I recommend you to use it on latest OnePlus Launcher and/or OxygenOS, I based the design on it. (PS: stock 411dp used)
Let me know if I can improve it with any request.
To-do list:
Lockscreen version
Pixel Launcher version
OnePlus 5T version
Important:
There are many version depending on your battery icon(stock, circle, with %...), "Dash charging" icon and "100%" don't fits well, but it's inevitable, I think it doesn't matter at all because 100% icon only last about some minutes and Dash charging icon only shows when fast charging so it's last also little time.
Downloads:
OnePlus Launcher:
Sorry not available right now, I have to redesign them.

OxygenOS lockscreen:

My home screen setup is a tad different. I love the design of it though.
So, do you mind being awesome?

I'll support only stock launchers (eg: Pixel launcher, Google now launcher, OnePlus launcher...) since custom launchers are very customizables and I would have to do a wallpaper for every person. Sorry
Updated with lockscreen wallpapers!
I tried only with OxygenOS, I don't know if it's fits also on AOSP lockscreen but it should since they're very similar

sure I'll give it a try. who knows I might love it i customise the launcher(nova mostly) to something that's very according to my needs and hence, a bit off with the default setup. but I have google launcher installed too, and I'll keep any eye on this thread for update
Updated OP with important notes.
I've redesigned the lockscreen wallpapers with bigger font and support for all battery icon configurations. I'll do the same for OnePlus Launcher version
