I am sorry if this question was already asked, but i didnt find.
So my question is, is there any ROM which doesnt have user interface , as touch wiz or any other eve default of android,hope you understand.
I dont use widgets
Not sure i understood your question
1-Every rom in the world should have a user interface
2-If you mean default android interface as the one that come from google for a device as nexus devices so use cm9 or cm10 roms or use launcher as holo launcher or nova launcher or apex launcher in you current rom
3-If you mean that you want a launcher or rom without widget use only icons so also two options either use launcher and put icons not widgets in the home screen or use launcher as ilauncher or espier launcher so no home screens at all and only icons device will open in app drawer directly as ipad style

Hey guys,
What launcher do you use on your N5?
Still on stock? or replaced it with a 3rd party one?
I'm still on stock (google now launcher) though I'm considering a switch to a 3rd party one (Nova!).
I like the stock launcher but I miss some customization features like changing the icon packs, more than 4 icons in a row etc etc.
What about you guys?
I've been using lucid launcher pro for a while now. Really like the uniqueness of it. Also this thread may get locked or moved. Not sure if the mods will think this pertains directly to the device or not.

I don't have a nexus 5, but I still use the GNL on my N4 & 7 2013. Google Now is so much more useful for me, and my second choice is the Sony Xperia Z2 launcher

I've tried various launchers but like stated above the stock launcher is just so much more useful for me so I end up going back to it.

I use Aviate Launcher and I absolutely love it. Used to use Nova but I'm just tired of the usual home page/app drawer thing. Aviate is really different, clean, useful, intuitive and customizable
In 4 years on android, I never liked stock launchers

Until GEL .

Well, not sure if you're rooted. If you are, you can find these two features to use easily with the stock launcher like myself. If you use Xposed Framework, Gravity Box allows you to set the icon grid to whatever I want (right now I'm using 5x5). For icon packs, I'm using Unicon (bought from the Play Store you use it with Xposed Framework). It works great. The only gripe I have, which isn't a huge deal for me, is that it doesn't allow you to change individual icons like a 3rd party launcher would (or at least I assume it would being that I've never used a 3rd party launcher). I like the stock Google Now Launcher too much to switch.
I use the stock android launcher (like on nexus 7 and 4)... I need to be able to scroll both ways from the main home screen, plus, I can just swipe up if I need Google now.

I'm using Apex Pro launcher. I bought it back when I had my S2 and still like it's flexibility.

Smart launcher. Gel is boring and like most the others.

Yup, stock launcher and don't plan on changing it. Clean, simple, and straightforward.
Stock launcher for me. Never really liked any custom launcher.

I wish I could run the stock launcher, but I absolutely NEED Nova on my devices.
I enjoyed stock for a time, but have since moved back to Nova...so many options! I also realized that the stock launcher has the Search app running super secretly in the background all the time, even with Okay Google and Google Now turned off; I only found out with Greenify. Once I switched to Nova, I hibernated Search and it actually saves me enough juice to notice. I wonder if anyone else noticed this?
I use Stock Launcher but occasionally switch back to Nova Launcher, mostly when I've got tons of apps to organize. I do wish that in future updates the stock launcher offers more options to organize apps efficiently.

I was using the stock launcher with the GEL Settings xposed module for a while, but I recently switched to Action Launcher and LOVE it.
I was always using very few home screens and found myself not using Google Now from the home screen that often. Enough that swiping up from the home button wouldn't be a real inconvenience.
Action Launcher is exactly what I needed and I'm glad I finally tried it.

Played around, always go back to stock.
Been an avid user of nova until GEL. Still staying with stock Google now launcher to date

Nova on both of my devices N5&10. Tried stock's 4.4.2 launcher but I missed Nova's various features too much. Besides I rarely use Google Now despite several attempts due to pier pressure. So the latest launcher's preeminent feature was not a big draw.

Yup, Nova (Prime) for me too, i just love the ability to customise a launcher and use different icon packs.
Hey folks,
there is no really working good enough launcher with an iOS like experience.
I mean, why should I use the app drawer? It is obsolet.
If anybody is lookin for a new project and new ideas I think a very vanilla launcher like this with homescreen only experience would be a huge success.
best regards
You can try:
Zero Launcher
Apus Launcher
MiHome Launcher
8 launcher
And a ton of others launcher without an app drawer...
Call me crazy, but if you want a launcher without an app drawer with the iOS feel, install any (any!) launcher from the play store, delete/hide the app drawer icon on the home screen and then install an iOS icon pack.
The best one that i would pick would be Yahoo Aviate hands down.
Hey guys, I am still on EUI Laucher, but i wana change. Have you tryed Google PIXEL Launcher, there is no official support, but you can downloand apk. ANy tips od experinece?
I am using stock launcher I do not see anything bad with it, personally I do not like the app drawer , however before using stock launcher, I used to use next 3d lsuncher, and google now launcher which was really smooth, I did like it.
The stock launcher is fine but I use Go Launcher mainly to eliminate the live button.
I have tried Pixel Launcher and its nice.
But my preferred Launcher is NOVA because it have many useful customisation and drawer tab support.

Google Pixel launcher
I have been using SquareHome forever now. Before that Lightning Launcher. Both very customisable, SquareHome is Windows 10 style with tiles rather than icons.
I like that a lot - Notifications on the tile, live tiles, great overview, easy on resources.
I am on 21S and currently using the Pixel launcher. I'd prefer to use Nova launcher because it can mimic Pixel launcher and has the added advantage of nougat-like long press functions and you can use a Pixel icon pack to get all round icons. But I find that Nova launcher has issues with the multitasking selection cards on this phone - it won't show a card for the homescreen like it does on other launchers, so you can't close the last open app/page. Anyone else found this? It also has weird scaling compared to other launchers - at 100% all the icons are much too small. To get them at what I'd consider a normal size you need to set them at about 125-130%.

In the ROM section.
Trebuchet or CM standard
I got tons of Android devices and I'd go crazy if each and every one was different. So I not only try to use a stock Cynogenmod launcher but also make sure that applications are in the same place across devices.
I'm even using Trebuchet on my Note 3, which uses a hybrid Note 3/Note 7 TouchWiz ROM somebody put together to offer Marshmallow features on the Note 3, which has long since been abandoned by Samsung.
Not only is Trebuchet available on all devices, it also has the minimal amount of "Google" in it.
I value my privacy far more than Google's "added value". So no "Google now", no Google search on the phone, nano GAPPS. Essentially I just want the Play Store, nothing else from Google.
Too bad they are not satisfied with that...
The best is nova launcher, fast and very recomendable

Hi all,
I would love the ability to be able to add a simple "All Apps" icon in the center of the dock like the old GEL launcher had. I know that Nova and Action Launcher can do this, but I like the barebones aspect of the Pixel launcher and would like to continue using that. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know there used to be an application in the play store that would add this shortcut to the pixel launcher last year, but that app appears to have disappeared. (I know there are some third party app launchers in the play store, but none of them are blazingly fast)
Only with launcher, sry mate

Best workaround I could find, which is not really perfect but hey see screenshot
Download Nova launcher but don't set it as default. On pixel launcher, add a widget -> Nova action -> app drawer
You may have some few times you come back through Nova homepage this way when pressing home. Give it a try your self.
If I have some time I could see if there's a better way to do it by properly calling the app drawer..
So -- you can make Nova as bare bones as you want to. Any particular reason why you don't want to use Nova, configured to look and feel just like the Pixel launcher? It seems like the best option for what you want.
I know it doesn't replace a button, but tapping the arrow above the dock takes you to app drawer. How do you feel about this?
