Hi,
the stock roms had 5 icons in a row on the home screen. With CM there are only 4. I think this has to do with the Google launcher. However, in the apps list there are still 5 icons per row. Is there a way we can restore the old behaviour on the home screen, too, meaning 5 icons per row?
Hi mate,
U may use Xosed GEL module to customize KitKat launchers such as trebuchet, launcher3 and Google Now launched..

I am running CM 5.0.6 and am wondering if there is any launcher that has a 5 column app launcher like CM5.0.6, that also has the app shortcuts that replace the change screen dots at the bottom of the home screen, like on Helix Laucnher.
looking as well since installing hex launcher2 breaks the 5 row mod..no luck so far
Same here...
Same here. Have issues that are keeping me running 5.0.5.3 for now, but would love 5 column mod. Why can't someone do a morph?
So I have CM 5.0.6 with Helix Launcher 2 from the market with the new upgrade that includes the doc for the bottom buttons which is cool. For some reason the compact launcher does not work it's checked and the phone has been rebooted. Any ideas?
I take it you mean you have check option in spare parts. The 5 column only work on the default launcher.
Helixlauncher has it's own options.
Just as clarification, this only applies to the app drawer, correct? IE, this doesn't enable five columns on the actual home screens?
Which I'd desperately love. As well as five rows.
I'm looking for the effect in Cyanogenmod where you can have 4 rows of 5 icons instead of 4 rows of 4 each. I know there are lots of apps where you can fit 4 apps into 1 slot, but I'm only looking for slightly more space on my homescreen (I'd like to be able to see the text of the icon, etc). I'd like to keep my current rom, however. What can I do?
Use Launcher Pro.
Try go launcher. You can create folders that groups items and gives you more space. I have been using it for a long time and can't fault it.

CM roms use ADW launcher as the stock launcher
I prefer Launcher Pro though, go mad and download all the launchers on the market, fiddle around with them and see which you prefer
Hi,
using Nova Launcher I configured Icons on the bottom quick launch tray.
On Lockscreen the icons are still the ones configured for the sense launcher.
They change only after unlocking the phone.
Any ideas?

You have to go back to the sense launcher first and do it that way, once back on nova launcher they will show up on lock screen.

It's because the lockscreen is being controlled by sense and your home screen by Nova. Two different beasts

Ok.
Installed Home Switcher,
changed to Sense Launcher,
configured Quicklaunch same as Nova Settings
changed back to Nova.
Experience is now not the same but quite similar.
But didn't understand: Why is the lockscreen always sense and not Nova???
Because you have just put a launcher on the phone and not done anything to your lockscreen you are still using the sense lockscreen so it will be based on sense still.

Nova isn't a lockscreen, its a launcher
Get Holo Locker to get the stock lockscreen for Nova.
OK, hope to understand: lock screen is one app, launcher another?
But shouldn't it change to Nova launcher when using a quicklaunch icon then?
The behaviour I see is that using a quicklaunch icon from lockscreen starts sense launcher,
Back button stays in sense. Lock and Unlock again is sense. Changes to nova
first time i press Home. Could call it a feature: Can easily get blinkfeed under nova
this way

those five icons on your lock screen are just shortcuts that mirror the five icons on your SENSE launcher. So regardless of what icons you have there using NOVA launcher, the lock screen will still show what's on the SENSE launcher.
So if you want to change the icons there, go back to using the sense launcher and change the five icons to the ones you want, then go back to using nova.
lockscreen widget issue
I have a galaxy s4 verizon, rooted, running gummy rom, launcher3 is preset in the rom and I downloaded Nova launcher. There is a yahoo weather widget on my lockscreen that I cannot find any settings for in either launcher or rom settings. It is registering temp in celsius and I need farenheit, haha. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you have Xposed, you can use XGels to accomplish that.

I dont want root the phone.. buy may be is the only way
You can try downloading Nova Launcher from the play store (or another launcher if you prefer, but Nova is often regarded as the best). It's not the stock launcher but it is very feature rich and runs like a charm. The only thing you'd be missing from the stock launcher is swiping left to Google Now, but there's a million and a half other ways to use a shortcut for Google Now. I personally don't miss it much.
Anyway, now that I've gone off on a tangent, yeah Nova Launcher let's you customize the grid layout of your home screen. I use 5 columns (like the 6P) and it really is great.
As the rest mentioned your only two possibilities are to root your phone and install xposed then use something like XGels or GravityBox or Install a custom launcher. Your best bet for custom launcher would have to be Nova Launcher as it's the closest to stock. You can even set up vertical scrolling. I'm rooted and my launcher of choice is Nova Launcher. Trust me Google Now is not as good as you might think.

Did you update the Google launcher? I seem to have it, not sure if its a feature of the ROM I am on or not which is why I am asking if you updated your Google launcher app.
yes, i have the last version, but no 5 icons in a row...
nice clock/weather widget, what is it?

I even changed roms, and I still have 5 icon rows...so I guess it could be the rom
Go Weather Ex, I am not a fan of them usually (due to their ads) but I couldn't pass it up...and its free.
I use Apex Launcher and can customize it many different ways.

What number are you on? I'm on 560 DPI
Not sure how many places i've answered this question, but anyway...
- Remove LauncherConfig, which is locking rows to 4 icons from /system/app
- Reboot
- Wipe data on Google App
- Go to home screen
- You now have 5 icons per row
No need to use another launcher or Xposed apps or DPI changes if you're rooted and want to use GNL with 5 icon rows, as it should be.
It's incredibly dumb how Motorola is setting Google's launcher up that way with a phone that has a large display.
This works on Marshmallow too.
Thanks. This worked with out an issue.
Omg have hey still not changed this by default yet ?
Is there a way to do this without root?

You rock. This info should be in the FAQs at the top.
CAVEAT to the rest: This will reset all your screens to the default. Now's your chance to clean up all those friggin icons all over the place.

I checked on system/app but I don't see launcherconfig. Is it inside of a folder? I'm using root explorer
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you're rooted, why not just use this command in terminal?
pm disable com.motorola.launcherconfig
I haven't used it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Also avoids any modification to system partition.
