Hey I am still on kit kat and don't want to update. Note 4 on USA tmobile. I verified I am odex, so I need the second file besides the touchwiz apk, however all your downloads when unzipped do not have the extra odex file to accompany the apk, so I am hesistant to try the manual install as when I rename the 2 files in the system folder to deactivate them, I do not have 2 files to replace them, only the apk. Are you able to steer me how to complete this process for the 6x6 homescreen. Otherwise I will not attempt this mod even though I want to. And yes I am rooted of course.

Hello Kevin,

I simply cannot thank you enough for this excellent mod, just installed in my SM-N910F running stock (odexed) KitKat 4.4.4 ANK4.

After upgrading from Note 1 to Note 4 I've got very disappointed with the 4x4 grid, so I tried other launchers but noticed that apps which automatically create icons on home screen fail, and the message counter badges which overlay IM apps icons also did not work.

Starting with your 6x6 version, the icon names in the lower row overwrite the tiny "page" icons. Then I moved to the 5x5 version, which is working perfectly, and I am very happy with it.

Thanks again and please keep up the good work !
