I want to get bigger icons so I was wondering what the DPI's are that I can use, because if I use the wrong ones it might screw op my phone right?
Or is there any other way to increase icon size?

Dry decreasing the dpi, i think that will lower it, and u wont mess it up as long as u dont have it completely changed. Use an app from the market and find one you like and then change it in the build.prop to make it permanent

So I can choose whatever I like?
Would 300 work? It'ts at 320 now.
Just tried changing to lower DPI and it made everything smaller, I only want to increase the icon size:s...

Well if decreasing it made things smaller then i think you can figure out how to make things bigger, and remember to do it in small increments until you find what you want

please correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think you can change icon size in sense drawer. With ADW launcher or Nova its possible.
Density with 192 dpi are no problem but it ist realy small...
I use 240 dpi
Using the Nova Launcher, back on my Wildfire I could change icon size easily with ADWLauncher.

ok, may you use following option: (root needed)
get root browser lite from the market
- open /system/build.prop
- search the line:"ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX"
- the XXX is your density change as you wish (try 360 | 320 is stock)
- save it (an build.prop.bak will be created with your original settings)
- reboot
I tried up to 450. Its possible but there u got little problems.
stumpyz9 mentioned this way before...
This will increase everything. Not only your icons...
So the only way to just increase the icons would be to get ADWLauncher again?

I think so. I was pretty sure the there is an option for icon change in nova but I don't find it right now. Sorry.
You can change your desktop icons with "desktop visualizer" by adding them as a widget. But I haven't tried that.

Can't find it either.
I don't need everything to be bigger, only the icons.
the desktop visualizer method will only change size of your desktop icons!
get desktop visualizer from the market
install and create a widget "desktop visualizer 2x2(?)"on the desktop. size depends on you.
click widget
select symbol (app icon)
select action -> launch app
confirm with ok
your done.
you may change size by click, hold and choose edit.

I have today installed Froyo on my Galaxy S. All works great but I had an app that I loved got creating widgets in the form of icons.
This then meant using this app or in conjunction with Launcher Pro Plus I could make bigger icons for some apps.
I cannot remember the name of it though.
You selected it from the Widgets menu after a home screen press and hold then it let you choose the app and the custom icon, then the size you wanted.
Any help much appreciated.
It was a free app.

hmmm desktop visualizer perhaps?

Thanks guys that's the one!
Now I can make my Galaxy look like my old HTC HD2 again ;-)
For a 180 turn around try multicon .
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.....

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

Have a GSM Nexus running AOKP Milestone 4 with Franco Milestone 2.
My Icons are a bit small, definitely smaller then all of the Widgets. What is the best way to increase the ICON size, do I increase the DPI? I just switched over from a HD2 running HyperDroid CM7 and increasing DPI on that platform was affecting market/Play functionality. Or is there another way in Ice Cream to achieve this functionality?
My eyes are getting old so bigger ICONS means more viewing pleasure. Thanks in advance everyone............
Hello again friend just wondering do you want to do this because of vision problems, or just because you want to?

I want to make the change for a few reasons:
1. I am using the Nova launcher and have configured the screen to have 4 rows and 4 columns. There is a lot of free Real Estate between the Icons
2. The Icons are smaller then the Widgets they sit next to.
3. I basically need to use my glasses now for most functions on the phone. But for the larger Widgets its easier to see them then the smaller Icons.
This request/desire is more a function of age then anything else
Increasing the dpi will definitely make the icons larger so thats the easiest thing for you to try. I believe you can do that directly through the AOKP settings or you can use the GNex ToolKit to do it. If it affects the market then just change it back to 320 while using the Market and change it back again after.
Mark.
Hey guys!
I am trying to figure our how I can replace the existent app icon in insertcoin 15.0.1 with ones I downloaded as a zip file. So I got jpegs with new icons I want to use. The icons should completely replace the old ones, not only make a new shortcut with i.e. desktop visualizer. Sorry for making a new thread for that. Don't know where to post it else.
Greetings,
Sinisjekkt

I think that this thread is more suitable for the Q & A section. And I have no idea how to replace icons other than installing some launcher that supports that option.

in order to change icons, you would have to swap the icons out in the apk that contains the icon you want to change(make sure you make the new icon the same size as the old one) then you will also have to change the icons for the app in also the in system/apps(systemui.apk) , in system/framework (com.htcresourses.apk) and (framework-res.apk) hope the helps
Try this app
