I just changed my rom from Beast to Jug. And i find that the widges in the application section is relatively bigger than the Beast's.
Is there a way to change that to make them smaller??

in Go Launcher EX you can resize any widgets you like to any size you like
but in the stock TWlauncher you can only change the size of the widgets to what the widget itself allows

Sorry. I was wrong about the widget... What i meant was the icon size in the application page... Do u know how to make them smaller so that more icons will fit in a page?

that is known as Rows & Columns in Android
Most 3rd party launchers in Android will let you pick configurations of 4x4 (default) to any other combination like 5x5, or 4x5, 5x4, 6x6, etc
don't ever try to set it to less than 3x3 else most widgets wont fit
and you'll only get like 3 rows by 3 columns
the more rows x columns the more icons you can fit
i use 5x5 anything more than 6x6 gets tooo busy for a finger touch, obviously with some launchers you can do 7x7 or even 8x8 but chances are you'll launch the wrong App/Game because they are stuck so close together

I have been using launcher pro and adw for awhile and really like the ability to do 5x5 on the home screens.
When skyraider went to 5x4 I was excited to see that then he reverted back.
Why hasn't anyone tried to do a 5x5 sense and lower the lcd density in the buildprop to use the space better on our phones?
The 4x4 with giant icons keeps me from using sense for too long. My gf has an eris and she picked my phone up the other day and said my icons looked like they were magnified like the calculators for senior citizens.

I use the stock sense rom and run a widget called multi icon. This allows me to put 4 icons in a single icon location. My main homescreen is packed with icons now.

another app you may want to look at is "Launch X Pro". if you make the backgrounds for the widgets transparent it'll just look like smaller icons with more per screen. it'll allow you to do up to 7 icons per row.

Yesterday I noticed that the Apex Launcher was updated. After the update my screeens have half the amount of icons that I had on them. I think the update changed the size of the homescreens so less icons fit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I look at all the settings and I am not sure where this setting is...
Thanks

Are you talking about the homescreen grid size? Look for "desktop grid size" or something that would change the amount of columns and rows on the homescreen.
I don't use Apex, but it should be under something similar.

Every thing u will get under apex settings->home screen setting. Its a great launcher.

change the grid size back to 5X4 in apex settings.
Yeah I experienced the same problem when updating to 1.2.1.
Fix is easy enough:
Apex Launcher Settings -> Homescreen -> Portrait grid set to 5 Rows, 4 columns
Maybe set it for Landscape mode too...
Fixes it.
Hi,
in the last few months I really start to like the theme with a static wallpaper (or multi wallpaper) where there is just everything and you use uccw/transparent icon on the phone.
I'm then having problem because often is hard to understand where a widget will be really positioned or is hard to put an icon in the right position (maybe you want to add a counter to it and the counter is not matching the icon in the wallpaper).
I'm using nova launcher (not sure why I choosed that, apex was a little bit laggy scrolling wallpaper and...ss launcher I didn't know about it but right now I love it but because I purchased nova, let's keep nova).
What I'm then wondering is if there are template with line where you can exactly understand where the grid of nova are (7x7, 6x7 and so on) or if someone has some suggestion on how to do that.
I already tried to just craete a pics in photoshop with the resolution of the htc one x and splitting it in 7x7 grid but, not sure why, my grid isn't matching the real grid of the nova homescreen (maybe because there is no notification bar on the top?? don't know).
Any suggesiton or premaded template around (tried to google it but without any good result).
Thanks,
Massimiliano
What you could do I guess, is filling each grid with random apps, screenshot it and open it up in Photoshop and draw a grid based on that. And I think grid size changes if you enable/disable statusbar and dockrow.
And in nova homescreen settings there is width and hight marginal options witch affect grid size aswell.
Perhaps u can make two full size icons with different colours and place out, might make it easier drawing the grid if icons have straight edges.
Edit: take a screenshot while moving a widget, that will show the grid.

Good idea, I'll try it thanks
Dear Friends,
I would like to learn how to make a wallpaper part, in the most exact way, to be clickable and to perform an action.
I know about the invisible shortcuts, but in my case I just couldn't match the shortcut the way I want.
Does somebody knows if there is an app or some other way that we can achieve the most precise result for mapping clickable areas on wallpaper?
Thank you in advance.
I think the only way I know would be exactly like you've described. Figuring out the grid that works for you, then making a wallpaper that matches that grid by actually making a grid wallpaper. Once you know the grid you can design parts of the wallpaper to match up with that grid overlay and make it work.
Or you can simply use another launcher that doesn't use grids thus allowing you to place invisible shortcuts anywhere.

Maybe a Live Wallpaper could work, but I would suggest UCCW or desktop vidualizer widgets!
ssLauncher doesn't you a grid layout and lets you place icons anywhere. Only problem is that it's a little clunky to use at first.

1. Install ssLauncher. Thus launcher enables you to put widgets anywhere you like and not particularly a grid system. If the area is like a corner or something, you could use any other launcher with a grid system.
2. Make an empty png file at the size of your desired clickable area.
3. Install desktop visualizer, add a widget and select probably the 1x1 option. Click that for options and load the empty png as image. Set whatever action you want it to do. You can manually resize your selfmade widget now with ssLauncher.
4.??
5. Profit
Desktop visualizer and make blank widgets.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
You can make a blank widget from any icon that has "some" blank space. Just crop to the blank area when sizing it (assuming your launcher has a resize icon option). ssLauncher is a great choice for many reasons other than no grid.
Hello Everyone,
This is not something that I have created, but it is in fact something that I have checked myself and it does work successfully. I am running it now.

The only complaint I have is now that I have 5x5 on TW home screen, the widgets that I have on a few pages are made for 4x4 and I cannot resize it, nor center it. Anyone know of any tricks to force a resize or set a permanent resize for each widget?
And yes, I do now that some widgets have the ability to be resized, but not all, so this is one of the ones that is not resizable lol
Ideally, I'd like to see a 4x5 option so that the widgets could be centered, but we still have 5 rows. Just my 2 cents.

He has both on the link
anyone seen or know of a deodexed 5x6 or 5x7 layout to flash ?
why not just use a custom launcher like Nova? It gives all these options plus lots more.

NOVA completely changes the stock weather widget if you use the S5 weather widget and it dont let u use the calendar widget like its supposed to. This is the main and only thing i dislike about Nova.

I agree what about making a 5x6 custom launcher for stock touch wiz that will fit the stick weather widget? Is that possible
