I'm using stock launcher. Is there a way to remove certain icon, for example, Amazon AppStore from the launcher? Thanks!
Any help.............?
I don't believe this is possible with the stock launcher. You can do this in most if not all the custom launchers. You may be able to find a modified stock launcher in the apps section that may have this function built in.
If I use non two launchers like Go Launcher ( my favourite) or LP Plus, Do I lose any built in functionality apart from not getting the counts for emails, sms etc? Is there a way to get those counts on Go Launcher?
Install GO launcher notifications -

Custom launchers add more stuff. so i think u dont miss any of the features in stock launcher
As the title says, my question is simple. I downloaded nova launcher today just because I didn't like the black background of the app drawer and wanted a background. My setup with nova launcher is more or less like the default stock launcher. I have the "aggressive desktop" thing enabled. Although everything seems to be as smooth as the stock launcher but I'm still in a delusion that nova is affecting performance.
So my question is, does this nova launcher affect app/game performance in any way? I haven't seen any noticeable degradation but I still want to make sure if the use of this launcher is eating away a few FPS in my games or something.
Please throw some light upon this, thanks in advance.

I personally don't use that feature and my nova works pretty smooth (Im using Google now launcher now BTW).
I checked nova in both cpu monitor and battery manager and it has a pretty low resource usage, among the top out there.
You can use this little app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.uvdb.tools.cpumonitor&hl=en
to check cpu usage and you have built in features in KK to check memory usage and battery usage.
Hi!
On KK roms I've been using app "Tile icon Maker" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tileiconmaker), where I had more than 20 widgets placed on nova Launcher homescreen... and it looked beautiful.
then I installed CrDroid 5.02, I can make the same look, but after some time Nova Launcher starts to report errors that widgets stopped working. So I had to delete the widgets/tiles and deinstall the app. It looks like some kind of memory problem?
The app itself is no longer supported.
Does anyone know of a similar app?
I don't want to migrate to some of the available W7 launchers, because Nova is the best.
I don't want ios imitation. but simple Android launcher with all apps on home screen,just like miui
thx.
Isn't this exactly what MIUI Launcher is designed for?!?!

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.
