Hello all,
I am trying out Adw launcher rather than go launcher for a change as i get bored and just rotate! The one thing that is bugging of is that the main wallpaper seems to zoom in every time therefore cutting of a lot of the picture i use! Does anyone else get this and how do you solve?

Use wallpaper wizardrii to set your wallpaper.

Any other suggestions within Adw itself? Or is this one of its flaws?

I think there might be actually. If u set the wallpaper, then switch to tw launcher and back to adw it should return to its unzoomed state.
Can't test it now but when I had that problem I think I tried that and it worked!

Never tried that before. But it's kind of troublesome isn't it? Have to switch launchers back and forth just to set the wallpaper?
With wallpaper wizardrii, it's easy. Just set, select scale or any other options and you're done.

Question About Apex launcher

Hey guys quick question regarding apex launcher. I like setting my grid sizes usually between 5x5-10x10 but it seems with apex launcher anything over 7x7 causes the icons to get cut in half, regardless of having the icon labels hidden or not. quite disappointing.. is there any fixes to this? i searched here and on google, and didn't find anything other than other people bringing up the issue.
I purchased the Pro version hoping it would maybe fix the issue, but it still happens.

updated OP with my question re-worded in hopes of any info.. Thanks again for any help guys!

You need to change the LCD density so the icons are smaller.

that will change a whole hell of alot more than just my icon size though. i dont want everything else to change size. I just want a dang 10x10 grid, why is it EVERY other launcher doesnt have this issue? there has to be something else.

Yeah, i never mess with density, but it would work.
Another idea is to use desktop visualizer since it scales. All the really artsy home screen people use it. Pain to have to set up each icon, but it should work.

Nice, that app is kinda like a more useful simpletext type app.
does no one else have this issue? I cant be the only one who uses apex who likes to have a 10x10 grid.

[Q] Nova Launcher and Icon Packs

Is there a way to apply icon packs to all icons (drawer and desktop) in Nova Launcher, without doing it one by one?

Bumping as I am very interested in this as well

bump, im keen to know too!

I may be wrong but I think you can install adw icon packs and it should change them all

it supports them, but i couldn't find any way to apply ALL the icons at once

Nova settings >> Look and feel >> Icon theme
HTH

I only see some of the icon packs I downloaded. Anyone else notice this?

When I tried this, it doesn't change any of my icons. Is there something else that has to be done?

Long press an icon and manually change each? This was the only way I could do this, as opposed to a "change all." I only tried it once, though.

That should work for some of the icon packs. Others do not show up as available. If you want to test with a free icon pack download Dark Matter HD from Google Play Store and try it. i now show 4 available to select when i attempt it.

not sure what you mean exactly.
But have you tried different homes? Like Nova Launcher, Apex etc?

He means the grid layout on the home screen 5 rows by 7. I'm using Viper Rom and it allows you to adjust how many rows you want. :good:

Hmm I am not convinced. You are talking about Venom rom right? Can you please enlighten me about where exactly is the option for adjusting grid size on the home screen? Its possible to change the app drawer grid size but i havent found the option for homescreen.

Very true my mistake there it is a tweak for increasing app draw grid. Thank you madik for spotting my mistake, I believe it is possible using apex or nova launcher.

This has not much to do with the ROM. It is a feature for a launcher. In your case the Sense. If you want to change this, you should search for Sense changes.
(I don't know how to change grid lines/size in Sense... I try to avoid Sense)

i get where changing the grid size has more to do with the launcher than the rom, but i was trying to do the same thing. the problem is that when i use a different launcher, i lose the icon pack and some of the other features of the Viper ROM like the extended app drawer, etc. Is there a launcher that will allow you to keep the icon settings and still change the grid size on the home screen panels?

How to put an widget at the center of the screen?

Hi,
I uses an Israeli widget of popular news site.
I tried to put the widget at the center of my screen but I can align it only to left side or to the right side.
The widget is 2x4 and I can't resize the widget (Like I do with gmail\calendar widget).
Anyone know how to stretch the widget or how to center it?
I added a picture to show how it's looks, but it is in Hebrew so sorry for that.
(I painted an arrow to mark the widget)
Thank you !
Ohad.

if you are rooted then use g3 tweaksbox and change the LG launcher homescreen to a custom grid size with a width of 6 rather than the default 5.

use Nova launcher

No need to have a 3rd party launcher. Just tap and hold the widgets and from there you can see all four corners. Put your finger in there and you can drag what size you want

I know this option, But on this specific widget I don't have the four corners and change the size.
