Hopefully this is the right forum. I wasn't sure where to put this thread,.
The Nexus 4 has been my first Android phone. Now that I've had about a month to get used to Android, I decided it was time to start having fun with it. I installed UCCW and Apex Launcher and I've been teaching myself how to use them.
I came across this homescreen, and I'm trying to base my own homescreen off of it:
http://mycolorscreen.com/2013/02/25/ubuntu-touch/
So far, this is what I've come up with:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My question is, how do I remove the margin/spacing between widgets? In the picture above, it's most noticeable between the "Notifications" title and the weather. I really haven't figured out spacing at all. Changing my homescreen grid to 10x6 helped, but it still isn't quite what I need.

As the title indicates, I was wondering if someone could possibly edit/mod the Launcher2.apk found in CM 5.0.6 to add more home screens preferably 7 if not more. I'm sure there are other people that would like this feature but I dont not know how to do it otherwise I would.
And YES I know about HelixLauncher2 but I do not like that launcher because it does not have the 5 column tray and seems to not fling through the app list as fast as Launcher2 from CM. Although it does have the short cuts which is nice but I dont like how it does not have the dots to show which screen you are on.
Here are 2 ways I've found from other Launchers that you could incorporate the addition of more home screens.

Launcher+
Just tried it, not as smooth as stock, but fun to play with. Don't know when it became available, but it wasn't posted here.
Don't need to flash anything, just install "Stage Launcher" first and then all of the widgets. Acts as a second launcher, comes with new wallpapers too.

Where are the Pics?
They're there.
Couldn't log in to facebook n setup email....anybody having the same problem?
Yea, same problem. This launcher isn't designed for phones (its for Dell Streak), so that might explain why its not working. I'm not sure if someone on here can fix it. If you like the launcher enough, you can just add normal Facebook and Email widgets.

I'm kinda new to the customize your android thing but I do have some knowledge about it. Also excuse me if this type of threads are not allowed here. I want to know how do I get this minimalist look like if its by launcher or rooting or else. I appreciate your help
It appears that the images are unavailable. The images were from Naxos flat icon pack the rocket one and the red and white one.

Hi,
You need root access to modify system apks but the theme part can be taken care of by using 3rd party launchers like Nova. Apex and so on.
Have a look at themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer
There are lots of preloaded homescreen templates you can use!
Whenever I restart my phone (Note8/Android 7.1.1/Nova Launcher), the icon of an internet shortcut on my home screen changes to the default Android icon. I think it also happens if I change resolution too. I've attached screenshots if my description isn't clear. The problem icon is the one second from left.

My S8+ didn't do this. Both running Nova Launcher. Can't test my S8 though seeing it's smashed and gone to phone heaven.
The standard touchwiz launcher doesn't have this problem, so it seems to be a nova launcher thing.
I've searched but can't seem to find anyone else with this problem.
