Loving the ROM, want to modify the homescreen

Greetings. I can seem to find any settings for the homescreen or launcher.
Without using a different theme, is it possible to do the following?

-remove fixed google search widget that is at the top of the homescreen?
-can I change from 5 screens to 3?
-can I remove the dock/launcher all together for using the device in table mode?

Many thanks to the dev, and thanks for setting up this Q&A

There's no settings for the default launcher. I'd suggest Apex. It's identical, but with MANY options. Plus it puts a "Launcher" section in the settings menu.

This got buried in the other threads nonsense so I'll repost here:

I don't have the option to move apps from the SD to phone any more. After I updated the rom programs such as XDA App were installed on the SD so they started saying it wasn't installed. Usually I just move the app back to phone to get it working. ...but it looks like that option is missing from Settings>Apps.

Did the method to move the apps back and forth from SD change?

I didn't see it in that part of Settings when I looked. Can't you use TiBu to accomplish that though?

Dang! New paranoid settings do not compute with me! I read the link Jamie posted too. I just don't get it. Just wanted what i had but nothing was working...don't get all the "px" settings...as there are more than just those three he posted. Not trying to anything fancy....yes.. clean install .. not Jamies fault as rom otherwise was great. Settings seam more complicated to me...if anyone has some suggestions could you pm me...really want to understand especially if these paranoid settings are final. ;)

360px is for phone mode
600px is for phablet mode
700px is for tablet mode


example:
i run Nova Launcher but i wanna keep my phone UI but run Nova Launcher in Tablet UI
I would go to PA settings click on apps look up Nova and switch the PX to 700
then go back and mess with the dpi slider to make icons/launcher big enough to read or for likings


its a trial and error for every app

Here is a screen shot of how it looks



hope it helps :)

Yeah. I understand those three px numbers but there are more than that...maybe i shouldnt concern myself with those? This screenie is my config on aug 1 build. I want to get back to that first.....but upon flash i had no sys or user dpi set.


Last build i kept config as it was on flash...do i need to set that this time? Then....i set apps how i wanted. Thanks for your input!!!!!

How did you get it inverted?
When I first went into mine the dpi said 0 as well. Couldn't figure that crap out neither and went back to Aug 1 where **** worked lol

anything above 700 is tablet based.

use the preview option if your not sure what does what, it works and no longer crash's

I would like to change the dpi of the menu you get when you long press on the homescreen. What would I change?
