Is there any way to customize apps shortcuts in Home panel? Usually those icons are with resolution way lower than native 96x96 (I guess this is the optimal one for those icons). I tried a utility for HD, but it requires a VGA screen, so it doesn't work properly on mini.
Thanks for any advice.

Is it possible at all to completely remove the weather effects (rain on screen, etc) from the home tab? I would like to have that small weather icon under the clock, but the effects are kinda overkill imo..
Anyone?
set a non default wallpaper that they will go away unless you have weather on any background cab installed.
has anyone looked into this? why does android only allow icons to be placed in grids? why not allow free positioning?
burp......
Does it really matter honestly?

you can get adw launcher, and change the settings so each screen is 8x8 instead of 4x4.
But 4x4 or 5x5 is about optimal, because the icons are a standard size any more than this and icons will begin to overlap and it is difficult to touch a specific icon and not accidentally click the wrong one (which is why I think they made it 4x4, to avoid clutter, easier to keep track of coordinates, etc)
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 wich is branded by one of the mobile providers of my country, and has very ugly turning on/of screens, icon sets and lock screens. I don't want to lose my warranty so I don't want to root/flash my phone. Searching the web I found the ADW Launcher and I'm trying to change these 3 things with it... is it possible? I mean
1) Is there a way to change animations I see when I turn on and off the phone?
2) With Adw I can freely change icons in home, but icons in drawers remains the same. If i use a theme, icons in drawers change too, but I can't find the right theme for me. Is there a way to change drawers icons using the default ADW theme? Or if not, how can I edit an ADW theme to change its default icons?
3) Is there a way to change the lock screen bringing it back to the stock transparent Galaxy lock screen? The one I had on Galaxy S1 would be fine. I know I can change lock screen from settings but it just let me chose an image from my gallery, and I don't know how to set it transparent. Would the Widget Locker app helps me?
Thanks in advance :-/
3) I don't know what the stock lock screen was on the SGS1 but ripple lock in the market is a nice honeycomb style replacement
I'll try it, thanks
I miss the lack of possibilities for sorting/arranging the size, numbers and sorting of the icons on the homescreen of JB 4.1.1
Of course the beautifully layouted homescreen looks nice, but there is a lot of unused space, not enough space for all icons and no possibilities for sorting the icons. In fact on the newer larger screen, there is till the same amount of icons as with the older smaller screens.
I would like:
- to sort the apps on the menu and homescreen, p.ex. alphabeticaly and not having to wade constantly thru the screens to search thru the topsy turvy order.
- to add comfortably more icons than allowed by the standard 4x4-structure.
There is the Multicon-app, but its not working anymore on 4.1.x
- to clear the bottom line with the four standard shortcuts (that is 3 and the
Menu) and to use this space as well for icons, shortcuts and widgets.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Nova Launcher!
My previous phone is a Sony Z5 compact with a lower resolution and smaller screen. On my home screen and other panels I can get 5 rows of 4 icons (not including the app bar along the bottom) i.e. 20 icons + the shortcuts along the bottom.
However, on my HTC 10 I cannot find a way of increasing the number of icons - I can only get 4 x 4 and they are really widely spaced out.
I am missing something really obvious? I tried using a smaller font size - but that does not help.
I know I can increase grid size on the apps pages - but that does not affect the home screen etc
I know there is a FreeStyle theme but that looks too wacky for me...
Any help welcome. Thanks.
You can't on stock.Different launcher or custom rom.
ok - thanks.
Will check out alternative launchers....
Tried Google Now Launcher which seemed to be good enough - but you can set the Home Page panel position - I like one panel on each side.
Tried Nova Launcher and that does it.
Thanks.
