Hi! Here is one small MOD and GUIDE for modding icon appearance in default samsung launcher I inspired here, thanks
What we can change:
icon count in row and column in menu
icon count in row and column on home screen
icon count on home screen in bottom line
What we need:
CWM (optional)
root
SecLauncher2.apk from system\app folder
How to mod:
make full backup
decompile SecLauncher2.apk
locate files
res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\integers.xml
res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\dimens.xml
in integers.xml we can change:
Code:
[I]icon count in row on home screen[/I]
<integer name="home_cellCountX">[COLOR="Red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in column on home screen[/I]
<integer name="home_cellCountY">[COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in row in menu[/I]
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">[COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in column in menu[/I]
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountY">[COLOR="red"]5[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count on home screen in bottom line[/I]
<integer name="hotseat_cellCountX">[COLOR="red"]5[/COLOR]</integer>
In dimens.xml we can change:
Code:
[I]size of icons, should be change if you increase icon count in row/column otherwise icons will be too close[/I]
<dimen name="app_icon_size">[COLOR="Red"]48.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed home_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">[COLOR="red"]80.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed home_cellCountY in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">[COLOR="red"]96.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed hotseat_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="hotseat_cellWidth">[COLOR="red"]60.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed menuAppsGrid_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">[COLOR="red"]78.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed menuAppsGrid_cellCountY in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellHeight">[COLOR="red"]84.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
compile
copy back to phone
reboot
One small example:
For example I want to 5 icons in row in menu (default is 4). If I want to change this, I have to change in integers.xml line:
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">4</integer> to <integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">5</integer>
and in dimens.xml change line:
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">78.0dip</dimen> to <dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">62.5dip</dimen>
How to get proper numbers for dimens.xml file:
In my example I had original 4 icons and want 5. This mean I have to get from 78.0dpi -> 62.5dpi
(4 x 78) / 5 = 62.5 (in fact it is 62.4)
If you change one line in integers.xml, you have to change one proper line in dimens.xml.
In attachment is my moded SecLauncher2.apk, it has 6x5 icons in menu and 6 icons on home screen at bottom (see pictures). It is ODEX from 4.1.2. It should works on "N" model too, but i didn't test it.
edit:
Hi, I made for me new 7x5 menu layout, HS is still same. So if someone wants, here is it. Now it is DEODEXED.
excellent effort thank you I will try it later and make a feedback

What you want to do is not related to Tw launcher editing actually. Google "change app icon" and you will find something useful!
Normally icons are placed in the apks under (in our case) res/drawable-hdpi (or drawable320dp-hdpi) under the name of icon.png or ic_launcher_icon.png
Sometimes you can also find them under /res/mipmap-hdpi !
Remember, if you want to change a icon don't unzip the apk, just open it with winrar/7zip and simply replace the icon png

Hi! It should works, but you have to use SecLauncher2.apk from S4, not files from this thread, and mod it by yourself. And one more thing, dimens.xml and integers.xml willn't be in res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\, you have to find which folder is responsible for your phone resolution. Good luck
Thanks..
I made 4*6 apps menu Touchwiz with your guide...
Now updated [JB][MOD]Touchwiz with auto-rotation (4*6-v 6*3-h menu) default dpi. I think it will work for S3 mini as same screen size and dpi.

I am on i1317m, stock rom, rooted.
I wonder if there is way to change the notification icons to other icon sets? A little boring for the stock ones.
Thanks

Use winrar/7zip or whatever and open the 'systemui.apk', 'framework.apk', and or 'secsettings.apk' from your rom zip file and change the icons in the res folders. Depending on your rom and lcd density settings they can be in any of the res/drawble folders.
Does anyone know how to change the color of the text under the icons , mine are like a off white color, is their a xposed app for this?

For this you have to decompile the launcher apk, than go to res\values and open styles.xml.
In the xml file search for
Code:
<style name="BaseHomeIcon">
(should be on top)
and change the value for the color in red
Code:
<item name="android:textColor">#[COLOR="Red"]ffffffff[/COLOR]</item>
Recompile it, copy the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from the originale apk to the new compiled apk and push it to the right place.

Some launchers e.g. Smart Launcher have a option to normalize icons. OP launcher is missing this option as far as I know.
How about some unified Icon Pack e.g. Whicons?
Icon Pack alone should fix the size problem.
Now I wanna share my Project,Framework with tint navbar color=status bar color in some popular apps like Gmail, YouTube, DropBox. But may not affect to all
Then again,thanks to all the masters who have shared knowledge and I can't say one by one

You can do your own - decompile framework-res apk, search through /res/values/styles.xml for anywhere it says
Code:
<item name="navigationBarColor">...
and change 'black' to '?colorPrimary'. Recompile, sign, push...
I'll give it a try immediately :fingers-crossed:

@levone1
i had to replace the whole string ("@color/black" -> "?colorPrimary"), then it compiled successfully.
but my navbar still is just black. I guess the value is overridden by another one..

Many apps have their own navigation bar color value built in to the apk, so those ones will not be changed, (but you can do the same thing to the app apk if you want) . Apps that call on framework-res styles for navigation bar color will show the change. Also, make sure you change all of the references in styles.xml. For example, if you change the value in Theme.DeviceDefault, but not in Theme.Material, etc, then only apps that call on Theme.DeviceDefault will show it...
