Need Empty Home Screen - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day,
I like to have an empty home screen in 1+X. Could anyone help me with this.
Thanks
Ricky

You're right, if there is nothing on it, it erase itself...
You'll probably have to go to something like Nova Launcher or same type...

Thank you very much.
Is there any way to change the order of home screens?
Thanks

I'm using ADW launcher and my screen looks like this - i.imgur.com/foZ13hs.png (sorry cant post links)
If you remove quick launch buttons and put black wallpaper you get it.
There are surely many other ways of achieving this.

Yup. Just long press on a screen and then move it around.

Thanks it worked.

Apex Launcher is also very good for doing this. It has a lot of customization and you can get very specific with how you want things to look. I generally prefer it vs nova. It seems more clean, organized in the settings layout and to the point. You won't need a widget in order to keep your home screen clean and you can make it look just like OOS launcher if you were to prefer it's look and layout.

been a while, but i think you go to the home screen, hit menu, edit
it should zoom out and show previews of the windows with an "X" icon on the upper corner. form there you should be able to delete and add screens.
You're a god..... thx

[APP] Transparent ACCUWEATHER 5x5

wel I saw many of us were using the ones posted in the n7000 forum but its not the proper ones for our device this one goes allthe resolution all in one from 1x1 to 5x5 .
REPLACE the one you have in system/app with this one (and delete the others you were using if you had any)
Thanks, I'll check this out.

Thanks, worked perfectly

Thanks, this looks much better!!
Question, and this is probably a total noob one. You mentioned 1x1 and 5x5 in the OP but when I select the widget I'm not presented with any options for size, am I missing something?

I know this is pretty much a hit and miss about Samsung maybe someone else can shed some light on this..
When you try to install the widget if you hit repeatedly on the icon it will show more size on the actual screen and if you dotn have enough space it will either ask you to put the full one on another page or give you different size one , I have successfully added 3 sizes , thats how I succeeded I can post screenshot as a proof but if someone else can it will make it easier for me thx .

Interesting. If I understand you correctly you're referring to the list of widgets that appear after long pressing on the screen and selecting widgets. When I try tapping on the Accuweather widget repeatedly, it always adds the widget to the screen after the first tap and that widget has always been the same size for me.

After you place the widget, press and hold it and a yellow grid should appear over it. Drag the bottom right corner to the different grid points.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I know how to re-size the widget after it's been added to my screen, but I believe that is different from different sized widgets. When I re-size the widget, if I make it smaller than it's supposed to be it cuts some of it off. Where if there is actually a 1x1 widget, nothing will be cut off at that size.
Hope that's more clear. Again, sorry for the confusion.

Just looked at it, definitely three different sized widgets you have there. My next question was going to be about the launcher used but decided to just try it. I disabled Go Launcher EX and tried it on TW, I now have the different sized widgets available.

I used Root Explorer and moved the file to System/App as mentioned in the OP. You'll get a warning that it will be replacing a similar file, hit ok and reboot.
Worked perfectly. Thanks DaGr8 didn't take u long to figure this one out! Awesome job.

Excellent work. I like the stock accuweather widget but hated the background. This fixes that issue. Thanx...
Thanks dagr8. I cant seem to get other sizes. Also i moved current one and dropped it into system/app and it works however do i need to set permissions like everything else in there? Currently not the same but seems to work.

Edit...i changed permissions to match everything else. Can not figure out sizing though.
worked great for me. thanks!

Its night time here in Chicago and the accuweather app is not transparent anymore. I rebooted the phone once after I applied the reset counter fix. Anyone else experience this.

Apps not displayed

In CM7, all my apps were on one page,easily reached. In CM10.1.2, some apps on desktop, others have to be reached in \settings\displayhiddendrawer. And then, when I click on icon there, all I get is stats for that app; i.e., app doesn't open. I've tried the "reset" in top rt corner of hidden drawer, and also placing checkmarks in the buttons; still not working. Using Nook color, CM10.1.2 on SDHC.Please advise how to get all apps displayed.Thank you.

From the launcher (desktop), press the icon with a circle and six dots in the bottom row of icons. That would open the application drawer, where all applications and widgets are available.

Just open the application drawer and long press the icon you want on the desktop. It will get put there. To remove just long press the icon you do not want and drag to the trash.

Live map widget

Good morning! I'm looking for a widget that just shows a (resizable if possible) live map, like a nav app when you haven't set a destination. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
I used a live background that did that? (I'll see if I can find it)
Thanks, yeah I did as well find a nice app for setting up a live wallpaper with different map styles etc. This is the one I tried. It's close, but not what I'm looking for. I want a widget that can cover, say, half the screen, split vertically.
Yip - thats the one I had - haven't seen a widget.
like this?

He said he has root, so extracting the launcher or the widget apk shouldn't be a problem.

Changing icons and grid size

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum. Currently using pixel 3 on nova and don't plan to root. I really like the UI on stock pixel three but three things are driving me nuts.
No notification numbers
Cant use icon packs
Unable to change grid size
That huge bat that comes with new navigation gestures (I do like the idea though)
Question is, are there any lightweight launchers that can do all that? Plus if possible still have new pixel gestures but with a transparent navigation bar? I'm currently using nova, although I like it, I would want something that closely mimics the pixel 3 UI. Anything a out there that does all that. Thanks for the help!

Check this forum for TulsaDiver's P3 launcher mod script. I've not wanted to move away from the stock launcher but couldn't stand the search bar, grid size and icon labels. He put in a ton of work and built an ADB based solution.
Edit: Just saw that you said you don't want to root. This sort of thing is why you root.
What about Lawnchair v2? I've been using it since the day I got my P3, and I think it does all the things you mentioned.

Lawnchair v2 does, too, if you mean the swipe up from the bottom of the screen behavior, and the hold down/move the home "pill" back and forth behavior.

What I mean is when you open multitask (sliding up from bottom) with default launcher you get some quick access to most used apps and also multitask (that 2 things at same time), also the sliding option is integrated, so if you slide half way it opens multitask with quick acces, and if you slide up until the end, it open the app box.
I didnt find any way to replicate that.
Well, no third party launcher can do what you want... yet.
If you want to keep the stock launcher and change icons, root is the way to go, sadly.
