What's everyone using to change the number of rows?

Anybody?

I personally don't use Sense launcher at all, its good and stuff but not minimalistic enough for me so I use GO Launcher EX and number of rows and columns is just a launcher option in that case, just like Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher.
Do the sense widgets work with other launchers?

if Sense 4.0 is like every other Sense version before it, then no, Sense widgets don't work outside of the Sense launcher
apex launcher is the best for me
I should have a 4x5 mod coming soon. Stay tuned for quite a few mods.

So, in peoples opinion. What is the best home launcher and why?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
When using a Sense rom I prefer to just keep using the Sense launcher. When I had my Evo and primarily ran AOSP roms I like Launcher Pro Plus. I liked the customization it offered along with the Widgets. The Widgets are what I think seperates LPP from say ADW and others.

I'm pretty much like the person above me.
When I'm on a Sense ROM, I prefer the stock launcher.
But when I'm on an AOSP, I like LauncherPro.
Ditto. LPP FTW.

I gotta give it to ADW EX. LPP was "laggy" for me for some reason. ADW is user friendly and highly customizable. Props to Anders...
I personally use LPP as well.
I've tried ADW but like LPP better.
Only complaint with LPP is that after a reboot it lags to start, but that's it.
It's all up to personal choice.
You can have more than one launcher installed.
Install a few that interest you, try them, and stick to the one(s) you like.
Adw ex ftw

I've come to enjoy the sense weather animations too much. I used to be a LPP junkie, but now I find myself using Sense more and more. Now, if only we could put 5 rows of icons on the home screens in sense
Sense can be edited for five rows with a smali edit. A little deep of a mod, but I remember it from my hero days.

If you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I did a google search, and I couldn't find anything, other than someone mentioning to edit the rosie.apk. There were no instructions beyond that.
ii used to like the stock launcher, then got bored. Switched to LauncherPro Plus, and it was freakin awesome.. except it tended to lag. Then ii switched to ADW Plus. It doesn't have the widgets from the sense ui or Launcher Pro, but it looks beautiful, works pretty seamlessly, and has a few extra perks perfect for me.

The launcher seems limited, and even worse, has some pretty big performance issues. It seems fast *for the most part*, but relatively frequently, when I go to close or launch an app there is a pause or delay. Anyone else experience this?
So who else has ditched the Sense 4 launcher for Nova or something else?
I, personally, like some of the widgets offered through Sense, however I do not like the limitations. The things that pushed me to switch primarily are 4x5 rows/columns for icons and such along with a superior dock setup. Stock sense with an app drawer and 4 options is just too limited. I made the jump for Nova launcher when my OG Evo was running ICS and purchased the paid app and have not regretted it once. 3 sets of dock bars, refined folders nestled within them, along with my 4x5 screens. I miss a very few of the sense widgets, but most of them I have replaced with Android Pro Widgets (free version is enough for me on this one).
Just my overall 2 cents. Plus some of the stutters with sense seem to be absent on Nova
Other than the inexplicable restarts after some applications, I think it's being locked into the 4x4 grid that will be the end of the Sense 4 launcher for me. If it was just 4x5 I could look past a lot more of the other things.
I've been using Nova. It's like butter.
Thanks for the feedback, guys. Been using Nova and I love it too. Shame I can't use some of the Sense widgets though. I was really starting to like the calendar and the people widget. Not worth the hassle of using the launcher, though.

I am not sure of the calendar, but the people widget in Android Pro Widgets i *think* is very very similar to the sense ones. Check it out, may be worth your time!
If Sense 4.0 had landscape mode for the home screen, it would be PERFECT. I am addicted to the calendar widget which is what is keeping me stuck on Sense. I tried NOVA and think it is the best launcher I have tried. Nova is super fast and has landscape mode. If it could use Sense widgets it would be a no brainer to switch.
Do any of you know if ANY launcher out there supports sense widgets?
I have used Go Launcher EX since the beginning of time, and love it

Apex pro is top dog for ics roms. Much better than nova. After U install, go into settings, advanced, and change update to betas so U get the newest.

I like sense 4 too, along with some of the widgets, but I leave my phone on the kickstand all day at work so having a landscape desktop is more important to me.
I tried both Apex and Nova. I'm currently using Nova (free version so far) and it's working great for me. I like that you can customize the rows/columns in both of those launchers.
I have the NonSense ICS ROM installed on my phone. It has Apex Launcher installed which supports Go Launcher Themes. Yet for some reason it only enables the icons. Any ideas why?
There is an option for 'skin' and 'fonts' but they are greyed out.
Any way to fix this? Or is there cuttently no support for the full themes?

Have you upgraded from the free version?
According to google play Apex Launcher Pro unlocks the following features:
- Multiple configurable drawer tabs
- Unread count notifications
- Dock swipe gestures
- Two finger gestures
- More transition effects
- ADW, LauncherPro, and Go Launcher theme support
- Batch add option for folders
- Option to merge folder contents
- Widgets in dock (1x1 only)
- Overlapping widgets
- More features on the way!
Apex was cool but I have yet to find a launcher that has everything I want all in one. Each launcher has something I like, but none all in one.
I saw that, but does that just mean icon support or the entire theme? I don't want to spend the money only to be disappointed
Yeah haha that's so true! Every launcher has pros and cons haha

there are several free themes for apex launcher on play store...
i'm also using apex, because sense is eating a lot of ram
DIdn't see a thread like this, or maybe I missed it and search didn't show it.
What launcher are you guys using with your note 2 ?
I made a poll with the ones i think are most commonly used.

Nova launcher
I initially installed CleanRom 3.5 with the Nova launcher option, but felt that visually it seemed slower to open the app drawer and switch screens, probably because of the animation? So I stuck to TouchWiz, and am pretty happy with it. I could be completely off base; I feel like TouchWiz is one of the better android skins, definitely better than sense.

Did you try changing the settings in Nova? You can change the speed of the animations. :good:

I'll give it a shot. I love trying out launchers . I do wish somebody would try something radically different when it comes to launchers (not just an iOS-esque type layout).
I switch between Nova and SPB Shell 3D. This beast can definitely handle the graphics, even with live wallpapers.

TouchWiz. It feels smoother to me than Nova and Apex on Beans' ROM.

Digital Soul red icons (my entire phone is themed in red and black)
I find Nova to be BY FAR the smoothest/fastest launcher there is.
I have the paid versions of both Nova and Apex. I don't even bother installing Apex anymore.
TW is OK if you don't want any of the custom options that a launcher like Nova gives you, but Nova is every bit as smooth as TW after you play with the options a little (on any ROM)
I think the new ADX launcher is amazing, a lot of cool features like widget previews, fast and all the customization. It's won me over.
This is also the first device I've used that TSF Shell is great on. Perfect size for it.
Hello,
I'm kind of new to these launchers. Just got Nova and wanted to maybe hear from some of those who may have used it a bit longer on their HTC one.
Since installing nova, Have you seen changes in
1) Battery life
2) Camera
I was curious to wether or not sense 5 has anything to do with the quality of the photos of the ultra pixel camera
Thanks yall
-Nick
The launcher doesn't get rid of sense and it doesn't effect the camera.

The only thing Nova changes from Sense is the transparent status bar. (Which I miss) Also, you cant use Sense clock widget on Nova.

Nova is good for hiding the blink feed if that feature annoys you

Search HTC Sense 5 Clock on these forums. It's a skin for fancy widget, comes pretty close to the original.
