Homescreen? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there any way to make the icons of apps smaller than they are so I can fit more on the homescreen?

Sorry I am a complete noob when it comes to android (long time user of iOS) but when I install them the sizes don't change. They look practically the same

Which one are you using? In ADW: Hit Menu > More > ADWSettings > UI Settings > Screen Preferences. Then you are able to change the number of Desktop Columns and Desktop Rows. The more you have, the smaller the icons will be.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks it worked! Now that's out of the way..does battery get affected by using different launchers?

Nope. It just replaces the default one. "TWLauncher" Have fun changing up your screens like crazy. When I get bored, I just start changing things up and before I know it, a couple of hours are missing...

Haha awesome, thank you!

Its fine here. Only the mods can move this. But it can go in themes and apps section or general would be OK as well. And welcome

I am using the app right now (thanks to Zanderman). You need to use the app widgit to lock the screen. I use Zeam Launcher so I just dropped into my bottom homescreen apps. There are different animations and sounds you can apply. I actually have grown to like locking the screen from touching the icon rather than the side button. TV old style is the animation I use and sound #4. The app is free. Its called "Sereen Off and Lock".

Here's a screenshot. Its the bottom right icon. You touch that to lock the screen...

i always just set the long press search shortcut. much more convenient than going to your homescreen every time. also, while i started out using screen off and lock i am currently using "screen off utils" it has more functionality. like you can set it to turn your screen off when you plug or unplug from your charger for instance.
That's exacly where I got mine bottom right side! ; ) whats good the god father john corleone! This app is pretty nice Ive had it a couple months ago & always use it thanks to katecca the maker of this app!

I'm using it, but am not using go launcher. I do have it installed, but I use spb shell 3D as my launcher.

Android scrolling

Hello, this is my first Android phone; coming from an iphone. Can someone explain to me why the scroll bar changes sizes in length as you scroll down/up? It happens in various apps, including the xda app.
Thanks in advance!

It's gets smaller as it loads more items to the list.

Quick question about stock launcher.

I cannot figure out how to add a shortcut to the bottom dock on the home screen. I decided to drag the stock internet shortcut to the trash, and know I cannot figure out how to put the dolphin shortcut there.

Figured it out. You have to drop whatever shortcut you want on the home screen, then pick it up again and the dock will be available.

Thanks for sharing! I'm sure it'll be useful for others who have the same question!

Icon Finder Search Engine

While on my quest to find a better chrome icon I came across this awesome website.
http://www.iconfinder.com
For those of you who don't know about it, it's a search engine for icons. Just type in "message" or whatever and it will bring up a bunch of images you can download.
You can download the png format and use it in apex or Nova as your icon image. Or better yet if you're a developer you could use it to actually change the icon.
Here are some I found and thought were pretty neat.

That's pretty cool thanks for sharing

how do you change the Icon after I download it ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The easiest way is to use a 3rd party launcher like apex or Nova. You just long press the icon on your home screen and select "edit".
