How to arrange apps in GO launcher drawer?

Dear All,
In default Note launcher I can arrange apps in the drawer as I like, I mean I can make 1 screen for system apps and 1 screen for games etc etc, by draging the app to what ever screen I want
While in Go Launcher drawer when I drag 1 app from 1 screen to another it automatically drag another app to fill the empty space
Is there any thing in settings to fix that? or is there another launcher can do that and also resize the installed widgets, those are my top priority

I think the only things you can do is sorting them by date installed, A-Z and most used apps. (Correct me if i'm wrong)

Hi
You can just make them into folders, you cannot have different screens as in default launcher, or sort them by alphabets.

ya I know that , you can sort them in different ways: Alphabetical, latest or earliest installed.
I do not want them to be in folders
I mean for example: I want to have 10 apps in 1 screen (system apps) but each time I drag 1 app to this screen the launcher will replace the empty space in the previous screen with another app
is there another launcher can do that and resize the installed widgets, those are my top priority

Alphabet app drawer - CSC setting doesn't work?

Hi All,
I've recently upgraded from an S6 to an S7 - have also rooted but can't seem to get the alphabet app drawer CSC setting to work. Normally I would have to set the "Enable View By Alphabet As Default" setting to "true" then reboot the phone, but am still on the current layout with the A-Z button at the top.
Do these settings no longer work for the S7 or is there an alternative way to get the app drawer to automatically sort from A-Z?
Thanks!

Use Nova Launcher

Is there not a way to do it with stock launcher? I don't want to change to another launcher, cheers!

The stock launcher blows, anyway. Just use a 3rd party.

About to pick up my P9 (yay!)
Are you guys sticking with EMUI or using a custom Launcher?
I'm currently rocking a Nexus 6 and love stock Android so am thinking of going with Google Now Launcher.
What do you lot use?

I'm sticking with EMUIs launcher as I like it and that it allows me to hide any annoying bloat apps that I cant uninstall as I don't wish to void warranty yet to remove them. I like googles launcher but all the apps will be shown.
To change default launcher when you get your phone:
1. settings
2. apps
3. advanced
4. default app settings
5. launcher
6. select google launcher to change
Personally its up to you to decide whether you like EMUI and want to keep using its' launcher or whether to replace it.

Thanks.
I've already started using Google Now. I agre, it is annoying that I can't yet remove the Huawei apps I don't want but I guess for now I can deal with that.
EMUI is nice but coming from my Nexus 6 I just want that stock feel. Haven't removed the squared/rounded app icon edges yet.
So far though LOVING this device.

I prefer Google now. I ran into a problem with it though with regards to icons not changing if I selected a new theme.
To override this go to settings > apps > Google app > storage > manage space > clear launcher data will allow the icons to be changed as clearing data/cache of Google now launcher did not seem to do the trick.

I've gone back to EMUI.
I noticed (maybe you can test this too) that when listening to music through my headphones, if I pressed the home button (or tapped on any icons) the music would skip and it ALWAYS did it.
It doesn't do it when using EMUI as the launcher.

I'm using Nova as it get's close to the stock Google Now launcher but still have personnalisation options like gestures, etc

We hate warez mate, it's a disrespect towards the work of developers.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli

Maybe instead of trying to cheat the developer, you pay them if you find it's what you want... Cracks and other Warez/pirate activities are forbidden here regardless of what you've heard.
If you don't want to pay, look for alternatives, Google turns up no shortage of options like iLauncher, Blaze, Launcher for 7 & Plus, or how to configure Nova/Action and other mainstream browsers so they don't have an app drawer.

You could pay for it then have two hours to see if you like it and return if you don't. That's probably what I like most about Google Play vs iOS App Store.
EDIT: I would also like to echo what's been said here. Don't do warez, not only is it unfair to devs but it is also potentially dangerous to your device if you download a "cracked" APK that was actually loaded with malware. So even for that reason alone, don't do it.

What bout zenUI? you can use it with/with out app drawer.:victory:

Try ASAP launcher, ap15 launcher and Edge launcher if you wanna reach your apps quickly

I couldn't adjust with the RROreo's default Trebuchet launcher and coming from MIUI, it was hard to settle with any other fancy launchers.
Tried every launchers available in the internet, that was similar to MIUI stock launcher. The MIUI Launcher suggested above is the close one in replicating the stock MIUI. However, I'd strongly advice against it, as it has some serious bugs. It duplicates app icons randomly, and you only uninstall the apps, can't remove the duplicate icons. It gets worse when system apps icons are duplicated.
I'd suggest this.
1. Install Nova and make it the default launcher(free version will do),
2. Create shortcuts of all apps on the home screen,
3. Enable 'Add icon to Home screen' in Playstore settings. (If you're in Oreo or can't see this settings in Playstore, Go to Nova Settings> Desktop and you'll see this option at the bottom of the list.)
4. Now hold the app drawer icon to remove.
I prefer to drag it to home screen and place it in a location or folder that is usually overlooked. I do this because, without the app drawer icon, uninstalling apps (especially when installed from APKs) would be a hassle, since it’s just a shortcut we are seeing in the Nova Homescreen. Adding the app drawer to the home screen (I know this is against the original goal in a sense, but this is very much different from having the app drawer in the dock), helps in uninstalling apps in ease.

Necrobumping because this thread comes up if you look up "Android launcher with no drawer".
After years of struggle, someone had finally made a good launcher with no drawer. Enter Lawndesk, a fork of Lawnchair without the app drawer. It supports modem functions of stock Android launcher, namely adaptive icons.

Adding an "App Drawer" icon to the default Pixel Launcher

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?
