Back when I had my now saltwater destroyed Droid X rooted, I had an app that allowed me to change my screen resolution so I could essentially fit more icons on my screen. I also had an app (maybe LauncherPro or ADW?) that allowed me to resize any widget on my screen. Can someone help me find them agian?
It was probably one of the alternative launchers. I only briefly used adw so I'm not positive but I know for sure that LP and goLauncher allow you to resize the screen and change widget sizes.

Root Tools will change the density if you want. If you just want more rows/columns, that is built into most of the launchers now.....

does anybody know how to get either/both the grass or dandelions live wallpaper as a regular wallpaper? but please make sure the picture can fit the screen.
Or how about just all the stock Galaxy S wallpapers in a .zip for EF02?
What do you want these for? Just curious...

I'm going to guess so he can set them as his wallpaper...
Why 2 threads? Your other thread already has the only 2 ways to do it that I know of.

i want to get those pics because if i use them as a live wallpaper it will waste a lot of battery, but i really like those wallpapers, so i want it as a regular wallpaper
On launcher pro, set up an extra screen with no shortcuts or dock icons on it, with a transparent dock, and set your home button so it hides the status bar. Run drocap2 and take a screen dump of that blank page, then apply that screen dump as your wallpaper. Set all settings back to normal after.

Like title says, was wondering how to make the wallpaper scroll with the home screens like it used to in stock Ginger Sense.
I've tried looking through Personalize and Display and Gallery settings, and can't find anything related to making the wallpaper scroll like it used to.
So when i go to set a wallpaper, it just makes me resize an image to be very skinny and tall.
Thanks in advance!

Sense 3 uses a static background image because of the endless scroll carousel feature of the launcher. This allows the launcher to be scrolled in one direction for an infinite number of loops.

Which is odd they can't do it, cause launcher pro has scrolling background and working smooth endless scroll

The only reason I can see they didnt do it is when you look at LP is kinda lags when you go back to the other side. It would do that on sense too but with the carousel spinning it might crash it or be way to laggy to be appealing.

Its all good man no prob. Its hard to find files that size though. Or even ones that will go down to it.
Sense 3 correct sizing wallpaper app
Hiya!
For correct sizing I use an app called AutoResize Wallpaper. Its brilliant! It allows you to set your full pic as the wallpaper. No more cropping for sense 3. To apply just choose a pic from your gallery, press 'share‘ button then Autoresize wallpaper and it does it all itself. Its free from the market too
Couple of q's
How do I get just an individual wallpaper for my lock screen rather than my normal wallpaper??
There's also a screenshot of someone's phone where there app icons are words,I know I change them as I figured that out in a different thread, is there a package for the word icons?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It is known that Sense UI doesn't allow custom lockscreen as it only provides the downloadable package from the HTC server.
The same thing applies to the stock launcher as well. You can't change the icon into words - unless you use third party app launcher and lockscreen such as Launcher Pro and WidgetLocker. By using this app, you can change anything you want, including what you have mentioned just now.
Both apps are available on the Market in free or paid edition.

You can do that on Sense 3.5 (in the personalize menu). I can't remember whether that option was there in 3.0 or below, so it might depend on what ROM you're using at the minute.
Thanks for the replys, sorted wallpaper now onto the widgets,thanks to All

Hey guys quick question regarding apex launcher. I like setting my grid sizes usually between 5x5-10x10 but it seems with apex launcher anything over 7x7 causes the icons to get cut in half, regardless of having the icon labels hidden or not. quite disappointing.. is there any fixes to this? i searched here and on google, and didn't find anything other than other people bringing up the issue.
I purchased the Pro version hoping it would maybe fix the issue, but it still happens.
updated OP with my question re-worded in hopes of any info.. Thanks again for any help guys!
You need to change the LCD density so the icons are smaller.

that will change a whole hell of alot more than just my icon size though. i dont want everything else to change size. I just want a dang 10x10 grid, why is it EVERY other launcher doesnt have this issue? there has to be something else.
Yeah, i never mess with density, but it would work.
Another idea is to use desktop visualizer since it scales. All the really artsy home screen people use it. Pain to have to set up each icon, but it should work.

Nice, that app is kinda like a more useful simpletext type app.
does no one else have this issue? I cant be the only one who uses apex who likes to have a 10x10 grid.

Maybe just be happy with your gf and don't deceive her it can end badly if your gf gets on your xda account and sees what you've been posting

Or you man up and just keep the girls as wallpapers ? Its just a wallpaper for god sake..
I just changed my GF's launcher to Nova, showed her that I could restore TouchWiz if she needed to (with all ther icons still in place) and the imported her stuff from TouchWiz and left her with it. It's been a few days and she hasn't complained.
I'm trying to niggle her down. She's still on XXLG9 ICS 4.0.4 I run my own ROM with many users and she won't even use it Doesn't like changing it I swear if 4.1.2 is super good I'll just have to do the same thing, back up her phone in CWM and with Titanium... install the latest version and restore everything as it was!

Use Tasker. If launcher 1 set wallpaper to x, if launcher 2 is visible set wallpaper y. It does have 1 second lag or so to detect the running application and switch, but it's the only method to my knowledge.

Just as your GF how she changes her wallpaper of all the naked guys just before she meets you! LOL!
Failing that you could always just use Tasker (as mentioned) to change the wallpaper but you can also change it based on location (WiFi, GPS etc..) or time of day, or just create a shortcut or widget to change it, basically whatever you want. It does only work with static wallpapers but there is a 3rd party app (EasyProfiles) that can change live wallpapers and it integrates in to Tasker so even that is possible.
