I'm trying to find the best grid size and resolution settings for my homescreen. So I went into hybrid options and changed the trebuchet settings to 160DPI and 600p, but this makes the icons fall off the screen. What combination of settings will allow me to have my home screen icons and widget still fit right (other than stock)?

Hey I've switched back and forth between ADW and LP quite a few times and I feel like I know both well enough to say that LauncherPro is better for my tastes... but there is one thing that ADW does a lot better. Auto-resizing icons to fit the grid on the homescreen. I like to have small icons with no labels on my homescreen. It gives it more of a minimalistic look. Has anyone else noticed that anything past 5 columns and 6 rows starts to chop off the edges of icons in LP? Is there a fix to this? Is there a way to at least remove the glow for selecting icons? That gets chopped off really bad leaving only two sides of an icon glowing/being highlighted.
Menu > Prefererences > Appearance Settings > Hide Icon Labels
For the glow around the icons, you could change it to a color that matches your wallpaper, then you won't really see it.

Today i bought ADW EX and i like it, its cool. But i have one annoyance: the icons on the dock are miniscule. How can i make the icons bigger or normal size? I know i can increase the size of the desktop icons but i have yet to find an option to do that for docked apps. I even tried increasing the size of the launcher icon from 48x48 to 90x90 which resulted in a scrunched up launcher icon. HELP!
Adw settings > UI Settings > Main dock > Main dock size have mine set to 10
Is there another solution because that works but only to some extent. When i use custom icons they are small but not default icons.
So this is the concept:
Instead of having a wallpaper with custom Icons, you have a custom wallpaper with the icons designed on the wallpaper itself and the icons set to an invisible icon (Simply save an icon with "Simple Text-Text Icon Creator" without any text). This way you can design complex wallpapers with shapes that have the functions in the painting itself.
Just an idea that came to mind recently, you still have to drop the icons on the correct grid part though. You can change the icon using Apex or Nova launcher.
All the best
Current wallpaper
I have an invisible folder with my most used apps on the left and the gallery at the top. You can also name the folders with a space so only a panel comes up.
At the bottom are phone, messages, app grid and two apps.
My previous phone is a Sony Z5 compact with a lower resolution and smaller screen. On my home screen and other panels I can get 5 rows of 4 icons (not including the app bar along the bottom) i.e. 20 icons + the shortcuts along the bottom.
However, on my HTC 10 I cannot find a way of increasing the number of icons - I can only get 4 x 4 and they are really widely spaced out.
I am missing something really obvious? I tried using a smaller font size - but that does not help.
I know I can increase grid size on the apps pages - but that does not affect the home screen etc
I know there is a FreeStyle theme but that looks too wacky for me...
Any help welcome. Thanks.
You can't on stock.Different launcher or custom rom.
ok - thanks.
Will check out alternative launchers....
Tried Google Now Launcher which seemed to be good enough - but you can set the Home Page panel position - I like one panel on each side.
Tried Nova Launcher and that does it.
Thanks.
It happened now a couple of times.
I put my Android 13 smartphone with Nova Launchcher into pants pocket or into bag.
Then the touch display detects accidentially some moves and move icons or widgets around to other positions.
I am searching a way to prevent this
Since I modify my HJomescreen background, icons and widgets very rarely the best solution would be if Nova would offer a special key combination which toggles the modifiability ON/OFF.
Is there such an option?
or can this be implemented?
Nova launcher has option to lock desktop from changes. You can find it on Nova settings desktop advanced settings.
