[Q] How to make the app-list transparent?

Hello guys,i have installed the UltimaROM ROM on my phone and i love it , but the app list , the screen where the apps are is not transparent It shows a black background and not the wallpaper i have in my home screen.
How can i make it transparent?
Any help ? :/
You are probably using Trebuchet launcher which does not have that option. Go grab Nova or Apex. They are better and have what you are looking for + more

Then Sandman's advice still applies. If you want a transparent app drawer you'll need a custom launcher that supports it.
How does one load a launcher? Or a kernel? Same as flashing gapps?
Lol no. Its an app. Just go to the play store. Type in Nova Launcher. Click install then Open. (Or click Home button).

[Q] Remodel Stock Launcher Sort / Hide Apps?

Can anyone rebuild the stock launcher so that you can sort apps or hide and seek?
As for example as in the Touchwiz launcher from Samsung.
A button for settings could be set up right in the corner.
That would be so great!

If you're rooted and on Dalvik use Xposed + XGELS
sort apps ist not possible...
And if you're not rooted you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

Can you explain this a little more? I love google launcher, but only four icons now seems silly with this big screen!
Aviate launcher is a must for me.

I use Apex Launcher with Ubuntu Apex Theme which I like, only one thing that annoys me ... it's the EMUI back and home button reverts back to the EMUI launcher. How can I change that?

Go to Settings>Manage Apps>Default Apps Settings>Launcher>Change it to your launcher.
I did that but it keeps reverting back to emui launcher.

No problem with Nova Launcher

Hide Navbar In Nova Launcher Desktop?

The most recent update to the S8 and S8+ gave us the option to hide the navigation bar, and all is well until Nova Launcher updated their app just a few hours ago, and now the navbar is back in the desktop and I can't find a way to hide it. Isn't there a way to hide it? Damn Nova, fixing things that aren't broke.
It might not happen. There’s a thread on it on Google+. Long and short of it, the Dev decided to go with the TWiz implementation of having the navbar visible in launcher view.

Darn this Sucks, wonder if it works on action launcher

I tought it was somerhing wrong and did a full reset.Nova had autoinstalled and i Just could not understand what was causing the problem with the navbarkeys on the homescreen. I use KLWP and hate the navbarkeys on the homescreen and applauncher. Glad i could Reed this post. I unninstalled Nova and downloaded Nova 5.2 and turned off autoinstaller.Happy to hide ny navbarkeys again..
It's sad that we don't get to have the option for this. I also just uninstalled Nova and reinstalled 5.2.
Suggest you all vent your frustrations at the developer or it'll be stuck that way for good.
Here's another thread on the Nova update & a reply from the developer. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3629965

So now I'm choosing between 5.2 ability to hide navbar or 5.3 google now integration.
Action launcher allows you to hide navbar.

How do you get the 5.2 version please?
You can use BxActions to set the Bixby Button to toggle Full Screen which will hide the statusbar and navbar or you can set it to hide the statusbar and navbar for only the app you're in.

From here:

I know the link says beta but I'm pretty sure the ones not labeled beta on that page are stable releases. I downloaded and installed the one dated Jun 6, 2017 and so far so good. Nova launcher shows up when you press on recents, but that's the only difference from the Play Store version, from what I can tell.

If you guys are searching for a alternative to Nova there is Apex Launcher and Apex Launcher Pro. There you still can hide the nav bar and its comparable to Nova in many ways.

How to change icon size stock launcher?

Hi, there are any way to change icon size on oneplus stock launcher? I have rooted my op8t

obviously I was referring to something different, because the three options offered by the stock launcher are not satisfactory, since even with the third option they are always too small.
Basically I would like to do what you can do with a custom launcher, but with the stock launcher. Is there anything you can do with root? Magisk module, etc etc
Thanks
Yea... Get novalauncher or lawn chair. You know... Apps made for customizing...

A third party launcher is MUCH easier, as well as safer, than trying to root your phone just to get larger icons!
Nova Prime all the way!
Personnaly my prefered Launcher is Ruthless Launcher
A Pixel fork like Lawnchair 2 but dev continue developpement (lawnchair is discontinued)
My preferred is Eve Launcher, fast and simply
