I'm running Pacman ROM and wondering if there is a way to make certain widgets (one's that are 4 x ?) fit when I am running the grid size with 5 columns. The problem is that they are off centered, and they won't allow me to re-size using the blue dots. Is there a certain resolution I can change the homescreen to, in order to make 4 x ? widgets become centered on a home screen that has 5 columns. Although I like the look and screen efficiency of having 5 columns, I can't stand that certain widgets (e.g., grooveshark and dictionary.com) are either off to the left or the right. Any insight on this would be appreciated, even if the answer is "not possible" that way I'll stop looking for a solution and just deal with a homescreen that only has 4 columns.
Thanks
If. Turn your phone horizontal, you can resize them.

Apex will give you more options that default cm launcher. That may be another option.

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.

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.

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
Hi,
I saw some nice home screen design of Nexus 7, and it has modified app's icon.
How do you do that using the stock launcher?
Or is it not possible?
I remember that we can use "Desktop Visualizer" for example, but it is not compatible with Nexus 7.
The icon, that I got from the "Metro Station" is enlarged (see attachment, the one in the home screen).
My Nexus 7 is rooted if that can help.
But, I don't want to use other launcher
Thanks.
Unfortunately on the stock launcher you cannot change the icons or use any icon packs. If you want to, it would require the use of a launcher. I use stock but when I feel like changing it up a bit, I use nova prime. Performance is not effected at all. Its worth a try.

I don't think it detects the Nexus 7 resolution and dpi properly.
Fyi, my launcher and all settings are still stock. No hack, no dpi change.

Just use any other Launcher and you can change any icon to any .png file you find online or in an icon pack. Or use a good photo editor and make your own.

You don't need to use another launcher. You just need to root and change the .png files.

Is there a way to add more widges on the home screen? I want a google search widget between my clock and my app icons. There is definitely room but it wont let me add it.Thanks
The only way is to switch to another launcher (like Nova) that allows you to increase the vertical&horizontal grid size.

I've been an avid lover of "Go Launcher EX". With a screen this big, adding an extra row and going 5 wide helps out. Just take a solid hour and try out all the different launchers. IMHO I was never sold sold on touchwiz, dumped it the very first five minutes I owned the SGS1.
Try running 'Multicon' widget. It allows you to display 4 icons in the space 1 icon normally uses. Seems to work great for me.

You can also do an image search in Google restricted to 720 x 1280 and get a lot of results. Lots of screenshots but also some nice wallpapers. Here's two I liked after a quick search...

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/th4vko9w21sjhot/hQ1YAJNhsu
I found this today and wanted to share. I searched and couldn't find this on the forum so I thought I'd throw it out there. I did this and only needed to download the Launcher and not the Google Now file. Tried to upload pics but apparently I am unable too as it says I do not have permission.

It took me a while to figure it out as well. For any one else having this issue just drag either an icon or a widget to an adjacent page and it will create it for you.

...and it still gets messed up in landscape mode where widgets/icons on the top row sit behind the search bar.
The workaround is to just not use the top row for anything.

Yes, the grid has gone from 6x6 to 5x5, which is what's causing the issues for us.

I'm not a fan of the new grid size. It's messing with my setup.
I've noticed a few grid related issues too; most notably the search bar overlays my home screen widgets while in landscape orientation. This is with the "original" download and not the updated one further down this thread. I will have to see if there is any discernable difference between the two. If all else fails, I can always just switch back to Apex launcher

In my experience, the latest apks (from the op) fix the problem of search bar overlaying widgets on home screen. But you get a smaller grid size.... Gaaaaarrh!!

Hi guys,
I have a weird problem this morning. my playstore apps auto updated this morning and after that, my screen was refreshed and my folders and some widgets were missing. I'm not sure if it's because of this launcher or is it the nexus 7 bug itself.
anyone has the same experience?
