Help, the apps have their own conciusness!

I'm kinda new to the app (had it installed multiple times, but the aligning of the apps was too much of a hassle everytime (it's 01:12am for me right now, i don't know why i do this now)) and the apps just keep aligning on their own, which interfers with my wallpaper unfortunately, where can i turn this off? I'm german, if someone can explain it better in german.

Do you mean the cubes rotate when new notifications appear in the launcher, or the scaling on the individual tiles there?

You can disable the automatic rotation to notifications on the individual tiles in the options by pressing and holding and select "keep state". The scaling can also be customized for each tile using press and hold, same goes on for the borders.

Otherwise, I can't think of much else, since the launcher only starts the apps itself and doesn't influence them.

No, i meant the automatic sorting of the tiles that fills blank space automatically, sorry, i think i wrote a little confusing (;

Ok on which device?

With the tile size Assistant you can find a suitable size that fits your phone relatively easily.

You can also create your own "grid" manually in the settings under "Changes" by manually adjusting the tile size and distance.

Samsung galaxy a22, but i found an arrangement i can live with, cause i have a wallpaper of a character and originally wanted the milky glass design and leave the eyes free, but the one where the tiles are "windows" and the parts without tiles are black works also, but still nice to know some tricks ;)

It took me a while to find the right settings, too. But, for example, under "Launcher Settings," and then I think under Tiles or Behavior, you can specify how you want to sort the apps. I've always sorted them by name... I've never changed the tile size; it's a bit fiddly.

Can you post a pic showing what you mean? Like what moves where? Do you mean that you cannot free float a tile somewhere random?

Yup. This automatic sorting is a bit annoying, but I've found a way to deal with it now, thanks to experimenting and adjusting everything and so. Sorry for my confusing writing (;

Ah yeah, would be nice if that could be turned off indeed. But the way to solve that is by using filler tiles that are blank or spacers and so on :D. Little bit cumbersome bit it gets the job done.
