Launchers with Custom Grid?

[alamarco]

Is there a launcher that has a custom grid? I like Nova launcher, but I don't like how the app drawer isn't all that customization. I'm planning to give ADW and APEX a try, but figured I'd also ask as well. As good as Nova is, I need to be able to customize my app drawer because I don't use many home pages. Most of the time I'm in my app drawer.

I'm basically looking for any launcher that does this. I plan to try them all and figure out the best, but getting a list that support custom grid will help narrow it down.

You must be using an old version of Nova or it may be only on Nova Prime.
Currently on Nova Prime you can change these attributes for the app drawer:
-Grid (up to 12x12, but on an s3 you can only go 5x6 before the icons start to touch one another)
-scroll effect
-background transparency
-drawer style(vertical/horizontal)
-infinite scroll
-drawer groups
-add folders
-folder first
-hide apps
-isolate tabs
-auto close
-remember last position
-change icon

In the last update widgets and live wallpapers are now in the app drawer. I'm not sure what other features you can add.

Right, but you can't customize the app drawer by moving apps in any order. It's all sorted by ABC order.

Nova doesn't allow this. I have the paid version. Sure you can add folders and what not from your list, but I need to move apps in my order.

Apex Pro has custom grids and you can also rearrange your apps. You can even make custom groups for the ones you use the most. While in the app drawer open up settings, go to manage drawer and you can make the changes you like.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Is this a pro only feature? I don't mind paying for the app, but when trying the free version it doesn't have this feature. I've attached an image, does a custom option show up in this area?

Want to make sure it's available before buying.

It doesn't look like Apex can do a custom sort. Unless someone can show me otherwise?

Custom sort from apps in app-drawer

I've been trying a few launchers and so far coming up with nothing. Looks like I might be stuck with Touch Wiz. I want custom themes, animations, more customization, etc. However I need custom sort more.

I have a directly related question. I've tried Go Launcher and I really enjoy the different themes, etc. but ended up going back to touchwiz because I couldn't figure out how to have incomplete pages of apps. Are there any launchers that allow this feature? Does Go Launcher allow it, and I'm just missing a setting?

Open the app drawer and go to settings inside there.

Hi Josphe72, can you repost the attachments? They are showing up as invalid.

Your image against mine for comparison.

Lightning Launcher has the most customizable grid of any launcher out there.

Seriously, after installing like 10 launchers please give us a screenshot for conformation.

Try Lightening Launcher. It has more customizations and Options than you can Imagine. Plus you can arrange your app drawer any way you like. With or without grid and snapping.

Lightening Launcher supports this, however, it has no pages!
The whole point of having a custom grid is so you can locate the app you want by recalling mentally the page it was on and spacial location. This is unhelpful.
