[Q] App drawer appearance change - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologize if I have missed the answer in the threads. My search did not come up with a answer.
I am currently using ADW version 1.3.6 with Cyanogen 7.0.2.
Right now you have multiple columns and rows to see all your apps and you can increase and decrease number of columns and rows within the ADW settings
Is there a way to just show a single column with multiple rows with the icon on the left and the program name to the right of the icon?
If you change it to 1 row within ADW, it looks bad.
If this is not possible in ADW how about another launcher?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] LauncherPro Icon Resize

Hey I've switched back and forth between ADW and LP quite a few times and I feel like I know both well enough to say that LauncherPro is better for my tastes... but there is one thing that ADW does a lot better. Auto-resizing icons to fit the grid on the homescreen. I like to have small icons with no labels on my homescreen. It gives it more of a minimalistic look. Has anyone else noticed that anything past 5 columns and 6 rows starts to chop off the edges of icons in LP? Is there a fix to this? Is there a way to at least remove the glow for selecting icons? That gets chopped off really bad leaving only two sides of an icon glowing/being highlighted.
Menu > Prefererences > Appearance Settings > Hide Icon Labels
For the glow around the icons, you could change it to a color that matches your wallpaper, then you won't really see it.

Nova Launcher Hide App Drawer Labels?

I found that Nova launcher for me is much quicker than Apex launcher. I would like to use Nova but it seems that you can not hide app drawer labels, or is it just me?
Go to Nova settings -> Desktop -> uncheck "Label Icons"
me too NOVA Launcher is faster .
I recently found the light too!
Nova launcher is the way forward! Not going back to sense anytime soon

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems it's still unavailable, or it's just me too...

No, that hides labels on Desktop, not on Drawer, that was his question (and mine BTW)...
If you increase the number of rows enough, the labels disappear.
modify one by one the app label with an empty string
Yeah, can't believe it's missing a simple thing that all other launchers have. You need to edit each app one by one!
remove icon label nova

you can try column 8 row 5 in nova setting-drawer
it works for me, the label is gone now
Increasing number of rows will remove the app label in the drawer

If you enable small tabs, than you also need to increase the icon size to 130%. Only then the labels will not be shown.
But thanks for the tip!
Nova settings < App and widget drawers < icon layout and then untick labels

Trying to workout grid spacing on touchwiz

Sorry if this is a dupe post. I thought I'd submitted it earlier but it doesn't show up in my 'Threads you've started' area in user CP
Hi all,
I'm bored so I'm trying to come up with a new homescreen layout.
I want to design a wallpaper that lines up with the widget spacing on the homescreen but can't for the life of me work out the vertical height in pixels of a 1 row tall widget in touchwiz.
Does anyone know the vertical pixel location where the grid begins (just underneath the notification bar) and the pixel size for 1 row? I should be able to work the rest out from there.
Cheers in advance

Changing icons in retrorika icon pack. Very few to choose from

Anybody use the retrorika icon pack? Some icons are really horrible. Like the sms icon is a round circle with 3 dots not an envelope. When i hold on the icon it gives me a brush which allows me to ser icons but sheesh i dont see more 40 icons and most are icons of the alphabet letters. Something is weird.
Any help appreciated
I dont know what launcher im using actually. How would i check this? I somehow got the ixon pack to chnage my icons on the pages.
...
No one?
Dahell...
Man, to use icon pack you need custom launcher such as Nova or Action Launcher, if you are not sure what launcher you use then you probably have stock. Install mentioned launcher from Google Play and change icons in options.
Thank u. I have the icons up. The issue is the icons for some apps make no sense. The sms icon is a round icon with 3 dots. Id like to change it to an envelope but dont have that option. It says theres options for hundreds of icons but i dont see it

Change Home-screen Grid Layout (row/column #)?

Is there an app or setting that'd allow the editing of the row and column numbers - as well as the ability to hide the icon text - on the homescreen? I know I can use Nova to do this but was curious if there were a way to do it with the stock launcher...
Thanks!
