Oh, so you are on stock?Stock launcher too?
I'm using xposed framework to mod dpi per app..
Basically ,with xposed framework you can change dpi to any app.
What i've found so far, you don't change lockscreen and stock launcher dpi.It will off-center them big time and it will look like a mess.
I'm used to have 7 icons on dock.with stock launcher i can get 6,but it's not even,so i'm using nova launcher at 240dpi.even system ui can be changed.try it, remember: do not change locksreen and stock launcher.

Hey!
So I wanted to add the rotation tweak to build.prop which works well on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but not on 4.2:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
and I also tried lock rotation: ro.lock.func=rotatelock and even that does not work!
I don't want to use any custom launchers so what to do to get rotation working? Is there modified stock launcher with rotation enabled yet??
Edit: It's disabled so if want to enable it then launcher2.apk have to be decompiled and then from /res/values/ bools.xml need mdifying launcher rotation text .."=false" to "true" .....
I too am not able to get rotation working with build prop edits. Anyone else have any ideas?
Did you save the build.prop? I've done it and it works fine.

There's an alternate launcher you can get at the themes and apps section for the galaxy nexus. It has landscape and a different grid if you want.

Not working for me either on Muzzy's 4.2. Its saving as the line is still there in the prop after reboot just not rotating anymore
** found that launcher zip gonna flash that now and give that a try
I'm curious. What rotation tweak are you guys referring to? Your default launcher rotates right? Mine does. So does the lock screen.
EDIT: I didn't realize I was in the gnex forum. I'm on 4.1 still on mine still. But my stock n7 is on 4.2 and rotation works fine.

this is probably because the auto-rotation in the notification shade changed in. If you noticed on the Nexus 7 the auto-rotation toggle moved from besides the date on the notification shade to being one of the tiles on the quick settings panel.

I've wrote: I don't like custom launchers! Not even modified with the rows stock launcher!
Stock launcher with rotation is good but not with any other modifacations which makes it to look like older than 4.0 Android version..
CM10 trebuchet launcher would be ok too but it'snot working on JB 4.2 and JB launchers (4.1.2) from play store are laggy and buggy on 4.2 and not working well.
I've made research that how to edit stock launcher to enable rotation and nowhere is guides for it..
Why don't you try Nova launcher or Apex launcher or ADW launcher or go launcher? My favorite is Nova. I even bought the prime version because it is so awesome.

WHY THE HECK everybody asks why don't you use Nova launcher or Apex launcher...?????
DO YOU UNDERSTAND I wan't stock launcher and not custom launcher with limited features on "FREE VERSION"
I also do not want a custom launcher. If I have to choose between stock launcher with no rotate vs. a custom launcher I choose the limited stock launcher.
I do miss the build.prop hack on 4.1.2 but I can't get it to work on 4.2 either.

I use Widgetsoid with a toggle to lock the rotation, works well for me.
I am not talking about enabling and disabling auto rotation in the phone settings. I'm talking about getting the home screens to rotate with the stock launcher.

I have tried a lot as well, changing build.prop, creating default.prop etc... but none helped. I only solution I found to fix this is by using "Ultimate Rotation Control" app. It works perfect and not just rotates the home screen and apps of the stock launcher, it also rotates the lock screen.
The best solution so far for me.

I know now why the tweaks does not enable rotation..
it's disabled and it can be enabled by decompiling it and then going to /res/values/ and then have to open bools.xml and change rotation bla bla bla=false to true
then rotation works even without tweaks on build.prop if I remember but somehow the apk decompilers cannot recompile Jelly Bean 4.2 apps on my PCs
(Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04.4)
luckily in Themes and apps section there is stock AOSP launcher with rotation enabled and it works on OTA/Factory ROMs..
but I have modified Jelly Bean 4.2 on my nexus so I have myself try to modify the launcher...
Do you have a copy of this ROM with the modification?

Any help and links are welcome, thnx

You can just change the dpi yourself by changing it in the build.prop or downloading xposed installer and xposed settings app and changing the dpi of anything on your phone individually.

I pretty much know that, but then i don't have a modified tw launcher, and apps that work properly on a system modified like that...
That is why i asked for a whole rom...

Try a rom called black pitch something. I'm not sure the exact name but it was setup for 240/260dpi it's based on Sammy rom but shares some of the look from aosp.

Build.prop changes the dpi on the device but also breaks tw app compatibility...
Ok doesnt break but tw launcher looks awful on that dpi...

I am running Omega 12 with Simplistic Framework V3.5.1. I have changed my dpi to 220 & have modded my touchwiz launcher to:
8 dock (landscape aswell)
6x8 home & app draw (8x6 landscape)
3x5 widget preview (5x3 on landscape)
6x6 folder (9x4 landscape - might need changing) with title changed to middle.
Landscape only available if simplistic framework installed.
screenshots : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vegq00xkmeoon6e/XSPMfcg_Gk
Bad Stuff:
Splanner widgets not scalled properly but rest seem good.
Landscape homescreen only shows 6x5 - anything below is cut off & if you look at the download apps screenshot the txt at bottom is a little cut off but could be fixed sometime.
I have not fully tested the 9x4 folder, it may end up 9x9 as the fixed col option is set to 9.
Looks best @ 220 dpi for landscape or if you only want portrait looks great @ 240 dpi apart from the widget preview window is a little out.
If you want to try it or fix it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei8a6gjpxczlm7a/SecLauncher2.apk.mod
Samsung keyboard made by bala_gamer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkpu7g9iwvnvzm1/SamsungIME.apk.mod
To install copy the .mod file to system/app then select the .mod file and change permissions to rw-r-r, then rename the original seclauncher2.apk to seclauncher2.bak and rename seclauncher2.apk.mod to seclauncher2.apk. Do same with the keyboard file.
Then install the Xposed framework and Appsettings module to change dpi for: splanner, phone, internet, contacts, flashbarservice, clock, camera & calculator to 320dpi.
Change google play service & play store to 200dpi ( I lost apps until I set it to 200).
Thanx, i will try it

Hi.
Can someone plz give a working link here to a modified touchwiz launcher 240 dpi as i need to use it for snote page buddy in 240 dpi.
I have found a few modified on google but when installed they work as if they are 340 dpi
I got system at 240 dpi but poor samsung programming does not allow tw to change dpi and therefor looks really stupid and ugly.

Search for Xposed framework mod. In there you can assign different DPI for any app, so set your system to 240 and set launcher to 320. Unless you just want more shortcuts on "desktops" then in Xposed there is a mod that allows 5x4 icons on desktop. Look here mods repository.
Thanks for the help but i found some other post which i must have missed the first time around i browsed through.

I'm a new XDA user and new to rooting so please bear with me. I am simply looking for a TouchWiz launcher mod (I think mod) that allows me to use a 5x5 app format. I have the SGH-I317 with build: JZO54K.I317UCAMH3. Can anyone help me out?
You just need a different launcher...
Give Nova launcher a try from the play store..
No root required ...and it gives you the options to grid up to 6x6 I believe ...
Otherwise ...to get TW launchers with grid changes you would need root and a custom rom most likely ...g

I haven't had the best experience with launchers from the play store. Had a go launcher before and it was just too much. I went with the root because I figured I could just mod the touch wiz or flash a better touch wiz Rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Never mind. I gave up looking for a mod and downloaded the Nova Launcher. VERY easy to use, customizable the way I like and very smooth.
Now the only question I have about having multiple launchers is... How do I prevent them both from running at the same time? I already set the default that when I press the home button, it goes to the Nova Launcher. And then in Nova Launcher settings "swiped away" the touchwiz launcher. But is it still running in the background? Do I even still need it? If I don't, how do I remove it? And no worries, I have a backup from before I installed Nova.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Once you swipe away the tw launcher you have set nova as default. Only the default launcher will run. I would not remove the old tw launcher as it can be a backup in case nova acts up. In other words, its good to have multiple launchers installed. Only one launcher is active at a time.

Hey guys, was trying to change my icons on Macks Rom 5.0, its running 4.1.2 Touchwiz but cannot find it in settings. I am used to Apex Launcher and you can change icons within the settings menu. How do you change icons on TouchWiz launcher? When icon packs are installed they dont show in the App list either. Any replys are appreciated. Thanks!

You need to install a theme that changes your whole entire phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint/themes-apps if u go in that section you will see a couple of themes you can use. If I remember correctly the reason that u can't see them in app drawer is because u need a theme changer.
