it looks like beautful widgets to me, the smaller home widget to be precise
I keep mine pretty simple. Just my kid, a clock, and dock. I didn't bother to show the other screens because it is just launcher pro widgets.

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).
droid 2, epic 2.5, modified stock theme
Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )
I have my non rooted n7 and i have my rooted desire. I originally wanted to keep this stock and to enjoy its beauty out of the box.
However, i really want the tablet home screen, not the tablet status bar, softkeys or the phone ui in landscape. Just the type of launcher(home screen and app drawer) you get on other tablets. Now I really want to root to get a custom rom that does this but along with that comes some cons.
First is I want the ota's as this will be the first to get them as it is googles stock.
Second, I want Google wallet when it comes out in the UK on an ota, but Google warn users that rooting adds risk to gwallet which sounds bad. However I will get it earlier if i root, so I'm in a muddle ATM.
Lastly is if I do install a custom rom, it may have bugs cause the nexus just came out, can somebody maybe recommend a stable rom that suits my choice of a tablet launcher and a high benchmark rank. Do some apps and games fail to run on custom ROMs?

Doesn't sound like you need to root, sounds like you just need a new launcher. Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. OK, granted, you can't really do anything about the notification/status bar without going to a different ROM but maybe just give another launcher a try and see what you think. If that doesn't do it for you then maybe consider rooting and going with a mod that gives you a different status bar.
Originally, I said I don't want to change the soft keys and status bar plus I've tried Nova, but that's just the landscape phone ui and apex is bugged.

I admit, I'm confused. How does a tablet home screen differ from a phone home screen?

There is no left search bar in the tablet launcher, instead it is in the top left. Niether is there a dock, the app drawer shortcut is in the top right.

If those things are important to you then, yes, you'll probably have to root and install a new ROM but I don't know of any that'll address your needs, sorry. Guess I should've kept my mouth shut in the first place
Btw, do you want to use a tablet launcher in portrait or landscape? Honestly, I rarely use my Nexus 7 in landscape.
The dock is an option on all the launchers I've used. I've turned it off in each one. And I open my app drawer with an upward gesture on Nova and Apex. And I've turned off the search bar ... or I just don't notice it.

I was after landscape, but I think I'll stick without root, I just really want to try gwallet out but no date or anything has been given for the UK, and I'm 100% stores have it available...

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.

oh well... that just seems like something stupid to leave out

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

Use third party Launcher, such as Apex or Nova

those launcher are crap and sluggish. i've already used them. tried many launchers already, they all suck and waste battery life. there's no way to do this without installing any apps or custom roms?
Nope
I am afraid I have to answer that stock launcher can't have 6 icons on the dock.
Either third party launcher or a system mod.
Pretty sure if you feel lag on those launchers it's something with your phone not the launchers. And calm down man, so hostile for no reason

I'm a total novice but my Nexus 7 has 6 icons and is the same OS.
Might there be a way to fiddle the settings? (eg screen resolution)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Because the Nexus 7 has a bigger screen so its stock ROM was designed with more room for icons.
Yes, you can play with the system settings.... but why would you want to do so if there are ROMs/apps out there that do those thing perfectly fine?
I won't stop you from playing with your phone or developing your own ROM though
Edit: And Apex is fantastic. I used it from version 0.3, never lagged or slow (well, except for a few beta builds)

Thats like saying you should be able to fit the same amount of words onto an A4 that you did using an A3 paper.
While using the same size font.

As I said, I know nothing of the technical aspects of this.
However, I have changed buildprop to alter icon sizes , so it seemed at least a bit plausible...

nothing about nova or apex is going to slow you down. you will never know its there. promise. and you get mad customizing from them. i dont use apex, but with nova you can speed up the animations and screen swipes. these arent go launchers by the way. these are launchers that some devs will pack in their roms because they run so seamlessly.
So...wanna put my own wallpaper on...problem is I cant figure iut how to enable scrollable homescreen so I cant really appreciate my wallpapers as the majority of it gets cut off...idk these little things are making me not like this phone...first no auto correct now no scrollable homescreens...wtf samsung why are you taking away features...both of these options were available on my 2 year old samsung infuse

If it's not available without a new launcher, use Image 2 Wallpaper and make your custom wallpaper fit properly.
