Try the desktop visualizer app with stock launcher. I don't know of anyway to keep the quick settings with a custom launcher

Well, do you know of any launchers perhaps that might have a similiar widget/home screen? I know theres the power control bars and such.. but I don't want.

I just installed the stock launcher available here on XDA and it has the quick settings and also the circle widget can be used with any rom// I'm at work so cant give you a link but its on here
well can i use it without rooting my phone?
I might just install a new launcher, whats best? Nova, GO or ADW?

Apex all the way. Smooth and has free gestures! Swipe up for apps swipe down for notifications (;

Not sure what that means, assuming we all have it with base phone, how do you access it if you change launcher?

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.
I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out

You will have to use an alternate launcher.

I suggest you use nova launcher, not the paid version since you just want to replace the app drawer. There is a free version as well. You can still use the remaining features of touch wiz without any issues. I use nova launcher and it works without any issues with touch wiz. Cheers!
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped!

I love the home-screen of touchwhiz more then apex/nova.... SO i dont want to change launcher..
If app drawer replacement not possible then at least Samsung should give 2 options like apex/nova
1. Arrange numbers of colums and Rows according to you
2. Must have Stop full transparency option in app drawers
Don't tell me to use a different launcher because I want to remain stock... But I just can't figure this out. I have looked through settings and everything but can't find any launcher settings. Thanks. I know its a stupid question but im confused!

You can not complete such a task on stock. You MUST use a different launcher like Nova or Apex just as a couple of examples. Google doesn't allow you to modify grids in the settings. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry.

I use Nova Launcher. It is based on the stock launcher & has that same look & feel. It gives you options like changing the number of rows & columns, hide apps from the drawer, and remove the persistent search bar.
I also use Nova. It's built from the stock launcher, plus it has LOTS of extra customization features. Seriously, just get it.
Honestly the only reason I was trying to avoid it was because I didn't feel like setting it up. But its done now and works well! Thanks

if you mean is making folders inside app drawer then you can yous adw or go launcher for that
Nova Launcher Prime also lets you create folders, and in my opinion is faster than ADW and light years faster than Go Launcher.
These apps are all good and we'll but I don't like the ICS look and I would like something permanent and not an app like a root mod or something..

That doesn't make sense, just get a new launcher. It is permanent.

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

Ah. Well thank you, but that failed gloriously. Replaced the stock launcher with root explorer, changed to original's permissions. still resulted in a continuous force close cycle. thank god this phone comes with a second launcher (easy mode) that i could switch to to restore the old launcher apk.
Any luck getting this working? I'm not
