Improve icons
Hi, you've created a very nice launcher!
One thing that was kind of confusing to me was the fact that two icons didn't make a lot of sense. Here's my proposal:
First icon:
The plus-icon doesn't seem semantically correct. It doesn't send the user to a dedicated add-app-screen as it seems to suggest. Instead, it sends him back to the app-collection. Therefore, i suggest either using a back-icon or some kind of apps-icon. This one, the one titled "Apps" seems perfect.

Second Icon:
The ×
is a great choice, but in my opinion the right icon should be displaced. It doesn't delete the app, but instead opens the app-info/settings. Thus, either using a settings-icon or an info-icon would be best.
I think info would be the most clear choice.
Well, I see why you're confused. Actually, I'm in the middle of reworking this screen to add an icon for settings and an icon to choose an alternate app icon.
However, I intent to keep the plus icon because it's there to add new items to the pie menu. I know there's no dedicated screen for that. But still, you add an item by long-pressing an app icon in the app listing. To where the plus icon takes you. So it's not "back", but "add an icon" 😉
Looking forward to your updated screen, then! :)
Btw, I think it might look really sick if tthe dragged apps would snap slightly into the correct positions. No idea how difficult it is to implement this, though.
