From what i've been lead to understand if you are using a 3rd party launcher such as nova or any others other than the stock one, you need to install "swipestatusbar" from the play store which in effect is supposed to do the same thing and you can adjust where you pull from what part of the screen and so on.
It does work .Thanks a lot for the help

I was just thinking about the same thing. I would love something like this. Maybe there's even a Tasker solution. The only part I don't know about is how to get the "bubble" on the icon.

i know there is a lot of alternative solutions, but all of them arrest you in there application. the one with Go launcher need you to use Go launcher only. the notification bubbles using all the screen with addition moving bubbles which you don't need sometimes. all what iam looking for is notification counter marriaged with the application shortcut icon use whatever the launcher be.

No problem, by the way you can turn off the additional bubbles. Then the only time you have them on the screen is when theres a notification ... not as much strain on the battery this way.
Good luck with your search
Hi XDA,
Im using Nexus 6 5.1.1 rooted with xposed, i have unicon installed which is great. But i remember long time ago i had the option to choose icon for each and every app which now is gone from the app for some reason.
I'm looking for a way to change the icon such as unicon does, change the icon from the system itselft. Im using Google now launcher and i dont want to switch it to Nova or any other launchers out there.
Tried Xposed GEL settings but i cant to get any icon change with it.
Do you know any other programs i can try?
Try Nova.

Too much trouble to read the OP?
@torecdude I don't believe you have options though. Unicon hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and doesn't have support for the newest Xposed Frameworks. The Pro version of the Xposed GEL settings supports icon packs, but not individually and not system wide, just for the launcher itself. Besides a 3rd party launcher, you're stuck with all or nothing solutions per individual basis. I don't understand the reluntance to a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex though. What does the stock launcher offer that they do not?

I Did notice Unicon Beta is expanding so maybe finally it will get updated. Anyways, ill might try Nova sometimes, im just very pleased with Now launcher because im a stock freak with my nexus 6. But if there's no other way to change icons per app perhaps ill try Nova some day.
Hi guys!
As the thread title says, what do you use as your Launcher on YB Android?
Stock one works, but I am curious to see if anyone here used a different launcher. I am tempted to try out Leena or Sentio to replicate that netbook/PC look.
Installed the Arrow launcher a couple of days ago and am in the process of getting used to it. So far so good especially for the just released tablet version. A decent review (of the phone version) that was done before the last update can be found here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/microsofts-arrow-launcher-astonishingly-good
Cool! Will have a look!
Tried Squarehome 2 for that Surface look..and I think I'll stick with it for a while as its the closest to a usable notebook environment..
Sentio is good, just doesn't load automatically while Leena needs a lot of improvement (like desktop icon sizes can't be resized independently of the font)..
I use Apex Launcher on all my android stuff.
It's hard to find launcher that properly support landscape tablet layouts.
The best I've found were ADW launcher 2 and Arrow launcher (it has a new tablet option).
In the end I went back to the stock Lenovo launcher.
Apex does work good on tablet landscape mode, plus we can change icons and layout plus gestures as well..

What permissions does this Apex has? Has any one thought about what kind of data these launchers steal?
I use Nova Launcher across all my Android devices (phones & tablets). Zero problems.
Does any launcher has the 'back, home, apps' icons grouped towards the left corner of the task bar, like the stock launcher? Its convenient.
2 Similar to the stock launcher, do they show the running apps icon in the task bar?
I try leena desktop UI from play store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.m_lang.leena) it's fine but not perfect.
I tried Microsoft Launcher, and it seems to work for me. The new tablet implementation got better, and also looks nice without having to spend a lot of time customizing it.
I use LaunchTime an open launcher from fdroid open android apps. works well for 6" and larger screens

Squarehome 2
YB with other android launchers.

I currently have multiple launchers installed on my YB, including Sentio Launcher. I am using Go Launcher HD as my primary, but Microsoft Launcher and Square Home.Tablet also work fine.
I am using Nova Launcher as I do on the majority of my devices. It is clean and gives mena nice dock for the media consumption apps I use most frequently.

Nice looking setup you got there!
I also use Nova for most of my devices (if not for the Yoga book, it should have been All devices)..Nova can achieve any look you'd want to have easily, too!

Question - how did you get rid of the Lenovo app drawer icon in the bottom left next to the recent app icon? I've been dying to try and figure that out.

Mark, had to think about this one for a minute and then realized the answer was in the screen shot itself.
Short answer: Can't be doe
Rationale: In the top right hand corner of the display, you can see the icon indicating that the screen shot was taken while having the tablet in "laptop mode". While in laptop mode, the app launcher icon disappears because you have the dedicated key on the keyboard to get to the app launcher. It would be a redundancy to have both. I tried it out and as soon as the tablet is in either tent mode or display/tablet mode, the app launcher shortcut re-appears.
Its also a custom version of Android MM, and most of the system UI tweaks don;t work.
I actually did find a way - I installed this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
It did the trick! I am very happy that it did.
Hi all, this is my first post on here (ever) so go easy!
After owning 3x Mate 9's (MHA-L09 & L29) over the course of the last year, I decided to treat myself and have just received my shiny new Mocha Brown Mate 10 (ALP-L29), imported to the UK from Singapore.
I've noticed one or two "teething" issues however, most niggling being the size of the icons/home screen grid and notifications on the pull down menu, they're all huge!
I have view mode and text size set to "small" in display settings though it doesn't help.
I think, could be wrong, that EMUI 5.0 on the Mate 9 had a "smallest" setting?
Anyway, I was able to shrink the icons, widgets etc to a much smaller size.
Can anyone help with this or am I going to have to hope (and pray) for a software update that addresses this?
It's such a big, beautiful display and is a shame filling it with giant icons....
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks.
When both view mode is set to small on mate 9 and Mate 10, yes the mate 9 icons are slightly smaller.

I thought so, must be a coming fix for this?
Just feels like the fantastic screen real estate is wasted.
There should really be a 6x6 grid option built in to stock Emui don't you think?
I know Nova can provide it, but really want to stay stock for now with phone being so new!
(I may even be first in UK with it, not sure!)

With the last nova update, no crash anymore dude
I tried to persist with the stock launcher but it got the best of me. It just lacks so many features.
I've used alot of launchers but obviously Nova is a good starting point ( it didn't crash for me) and also evie is another one. My every day launcher is action launcher and it is excellent on the mate 10. Launchers come down to personal preference but in my opinion there are plenty out there that are better than the stock one.
Also pixel 2 launcher apk on this great forums is very good and smooth

I got the crash when I add the Huawei weather widget. I guess it is not compatible with Nova Launcher.

Same here. BLA-029 .119(C636). Latest version of Nova launcher. Can anyone confirm if they are NOT having this problem? Thanks all.
Same problem here. Seems like view mode doesn't affect the size of the icons on the home screen and the size of the notification toggles. I've had the phone for 2 hours and its been bugging me ever since. I hope someone can fix this. I really hate my icons looking so big.
For smaller icons in stock launcher you have to find an icon pack with smaller icons size. I did it in app Huawei Themes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager You can install new theme from this app which is called "card", and then apply icons from this theme in the native Huawei's theme app. For me icons from card theme look nicely and are smaller than original ones. Give it a try.
Currently using Pixel Launcher and icons are smaller now but the notification toggles are still huge.
When choosing one of the launchers mentioned in this thread, can you still use the navigation dock?
Hi, anyone know how to change the grid size to more than 5x5? Thats just silly on a screen this of this size and resolution.
I am on the point of adding Nova launcher but holding off until I have exhausted the standard settings as most other thing I am like are already included.

Stock doesn't allow that, that I can see. Nova it is.
I use Nova not only for the grid size, but also for the icon packs and for the reverse parallax wallpaper scrolling view. I also put a drop shadow under the icons to give them more of a 3D look. And I have my app drawer with black background to clearly differentiate between my desktop screens and my app drawer.
Lots of settings to customize.
Hi, yes, all of the above :good:
Have used Nova for many years and looks like there are just too many advantages to miss.
Are the stock launchers completely inactive while Nova is running?
I have removed stock launchers before or trebuchet from CyanogenMod /lineageos but never knew if there was any need.

Yes, the stock launcher/ROM launchers are inactive while Nova is the primary launcher, but I end up freezing them in Titanium Backup. Otherwise when there's some kind of launcher update I get asked all over again which one I want to use.
But even on non rooted phones for friends I'll install Nova. Just too many tweaks I can't pass up.
Hi, back on Nova already. Good tip about freezing the others :good:
Can't imagine life on an un-rooted phone :silly:
