You need another launcher. Nova for example allows you to set widgets and shortcuts in between grids
Ok but there is no idea why I have this issue and maybe some other solutions ?I prefer to use stock luncher but this problem it's little annoying.

Not to start a discussion what the best launcher is, but why do you prefer stock? Nova do the same + a whole lot more. But no one forces you to use it's features, besides the grid thing so you can do what you want.
You are right about Nova Luncher but my question is about stock luncher and do anyone have some solutions for this.

No, that's why we suggest another launcher. Stock doesn't have the ability to do what you're looking for

Hi !
I was looking for a way to add more pages to android home, I use the sense interface and it has some many widget that I think that it's a shame to use just 7 ..
Also I was looking to a way to change background to the all app menu ( I know that probably isn't possible but I really can't understand the thing of the black background...)
any help ?!
Try a different launcher - most of the third party replacement launchers let you configure the number of home screens, backgrounds, etc.
Just open up the Market and search for "launcher" - Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher and ADW Launcher are popular ones - have a play with them until you find one you like!
emh actually I forgot to mention that I would like to do this with htc sense....so I think that those app can't help me !

You might consider sending a pm to CookieMonster. He did things with HTC Sense on Windows Mobile that nobody including HTC could do.
He doesn't seem to be around much anymore but here is his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303 Maybe someone from his team may have some thoughts.

i know but I doubt that he would like to work on this considering that hasn't been active for a while. anyway I'll give it a try.
and yes manila was much more better in my opinion...android is to close and some of its properties are bad...it's not possible to have a menu app with forced black background...also the stories of only 7 pages is stupid...
No customization at all !!
I use adw launcher and its great. You can change the icons on the bottom row along with a main button. You can change the amount of icons that are horizonal and vertical. Change scrooling all kinds of cool stuff.
Here is the .apk. Not sure if any other files need to go with it as I havent installed it in awhile.
Numerous different ones. I actually might try something different.

does it work in combination with sense ?
sadly I'm still without solution
I have a problem with the wallpaper picker after update to JB: If the image is portrait I cannot set the whole image as wallpaper. See the attach image of the problem.
Anyone has this issue? Is there any fix to this issue?
Thats because part of the width is used for the scrolling. If you disable scrolling wallpaper you can use the entire image.
I dont know how to disable it in the stock JB rom though.
Wallpaper scrolling is disable in JB with sense 4+ and as far as I know it cannot be enabled.
Ok, thats weird, you should be able to use the whole picture then.
Solution found. I installed GO Launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling from GO settings. Now the wallpaper cropping works OK. It seems that wallpaper scrolling was enabled after all, but the default sense launcher ignored this option.

Funny, I was thinking of suggestion GO Launcher, but I suspected you wanted to stick with stock.
Shame I didnt suggest it then

I'm afraid there's no solution with stock yet? It's just annoying because now that the wallpaper scrolling is permanently disabled in stock JB, i think it's best for a 540x960 wallpaper..

I want to stick with the stock launcher, but when I disable wallpaper scrolling from GO launcher it remains disabled for stock launcher to. It's not a perfect solution but it's the best I found.
I hope the HTC guys will fix this issue, but I'm not holding my breath...

Oh, look at that. Thats nice then, and shouldnt be hard to make an app that disables it without the need for a 2nd launcher.
Edit: I did a quick search on google, maybe this one can help? Not really scrolling WP enable/disable, but looks quite good anyway. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper
This app seems to be recommended by many as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii

Thanks for sharing! The first app really did what i expected. Now i can use 540x960 portrait pics without the need to crop. Thumbs up! :thumbup:

I spoke with HTC support and their answer is that the wallpaper cropping is working as designed:
"kindly note that this is not an issue this is how Google (Owner of Android) decide to be used this option"
and after telling them that this isn't a Google related issue:
"The way how your phone is cropping the image is how our engineers decide to be."
So I think that this issue will not be fixed, at least the first app works OK and I don't need a second launcher.
Yeah, of course its google's fault.. Thats why the issue is present on AOSP roms and when using other launchers, as well as all other manufactures roms... oh wait... it isnt...
Why cant they just admit they (probably) forgot to set a flag that scrolling wallpaper = false in their launcher... Because thats quite obviously the case here.. The launcher(sense) does not support scrolling wallpapers, but android thinks it does..
Hi all,
I tried searching the forums and google on this but couldn't find an answer.
I've included a picture just to give you guys a visual. (Guess I can't show you since I'm a noob)
It's the dot(s) that is an indicator when you have 1 or more home screens.
My question is - is there a way to remove the dot(s)/indicator? By way of an app or custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I understand what you are saying a custom launcher like apex or nova should take care of it. They will have a bar, but you can hide it.

Those will work on the stock rom, but not the stock launcher. I guess I should mention you may not be able to use touchwiz widgets with them. But to keep your launcher and rom but remove those would involve code manipulation. I'm not saying no one has done it, but I haven't stumbled upon that type of tweak.

Hi all,
Is it possible to display labels on dock icons?
I don't find the way to enable it on stock lancheur.
Cheers
Not possible ?
I don't think so.
If you don't find the icons easy to understand, you can change them with a new Theme

You can easily do that and more with Nova Launcher.

I saw it on the Porsche Design Mate 9, maybe they enabled it there because it doesn't use on screen keys, and they had to keep the aspect ratio of the main home screen similar.
Which Launcher do you use with Google Pixel?
Nova launcher (Prime) for me. Love the customisation options.
Nova Prime
Nova prime
Nova Prime. I think I can say that everyone recommends that so far.
Apex ?
Was on Apex since the GS2 days but switched to Nova prime cause Apex was show with the 7.0 OS updates. Glad I made the move and haven't looked back
Stock
I am loving Google's Pixel launcher. I've been a Nova user for YEARS but I haven't missed it yet. Nice job, Google!
Nova Prime
Smart launcher Pro and Action Launcher.
Pixel launcher for me. I'm trying to just use installed apps as much as possible. I just wish that Google would add app drawer folders and how to hide apps too. I dont really want to root any more so if anyone knows if the pixel launcher can be amended to add these features please let me know.

If you install another launcher (like nova) you can copy every single feature of the stock launcher and you don't need root. I did this when I bought Pixel.

Can't swipe from the left to get Google Now page. Nova doesn't support left or right swipe.
Also a lot of things you may want such as folders in the app drawer are only available in the paid (Prime) version of Nova
