Hello,
I'm thinking of getting the G3 but the only thing I really dislike about the SW is the app drawer's grid size, which has 5 columns. So many icons on one page feel like chaos to me.
I know I can get a different launcher and set up everything I want, but I really want to buy the phone for what it is, not for the time I might spend on customizing everything until it looks like everything but the G3.
I tried out a displayed model for a moment, but didn't come across this setting.
Is there a way I can change the grid size on the G3 to at least 4 columns?
You can set it up w/ either 4 columns and large icons, or 5 columns and small icons.
Thank you for the quick response!
That's splendid! You made my day

Im assuming that we would just have to change the size of the images and then just change the font sizes to fit the images. But has anyone played with the HDPI themes to get them to work on our phones and know the perfect size to make them?
They have some pretty good looking clocks but the images are just too big for our phones resolution and it cuts off corners.
Edit: Well I guess if I go with 4x2 widget it works out right. I was trying 3x2 and 2x2 before. I would still like to be able to choose from all different size widgets and not be locked in to 4x2 but I guess it will do for now, until someone comes through with the settings to make them compatible at our resolution.

Not really sure what it is that you're ultimately looking to do, but if you have a 3x2 widget already, you can resize it to 4x2 using either TW launcher and Launcher Pro, as well as others out there...
I guess that coulda been a little confusing. Basically the only way to see the whole clock is to make the widget 4 wide. The only problem with that is that it looks a little small. Like it only takes half the space that it should as a 4x2.
I'm moreso just trying to bring the clock to the max size it can be at each widget size. I'm at my girls for the night so maybe when I get home 2morrow ill try to make the widget show a little bigger to make myself happy. Just thought I'd ask incase anyone else found the mClock widgets to be sorta small

Hi guys,
Total android Newbie here.
Just been playing around with my Nexus 7 and theming it.
Im currently running Nova prime with minimal MIUI icons (will upload pic soon)
I like the look of some of the large rectangular metro style icons which I would like to apply to my setup. What program would be best to assign actions to the images?
I tried desktop virtualiser and it uploads the metro icons but they look pretty small and theres no option for resizing.
Any help would be appreciated
You should be able to change them using Nova.

What the guy ^ there said, plus if you use uccw you can use those images, the metro style images, as either a background or insert as an image, scale as you see fit, then add a hotspot over them and assign the click action to whatever you want. Uccw is my go to for creating anything custom

You need to choose different sized widgets when using Desktop Visualizer. The 1x1 SS one will look like a normal icon, BTW. I haven't used it for a while, but it should have worked.
Got my White Note 4 from Best Buy last night, i am still setting the phone up similar to my Note 3.
I noticed, in widgets such as "E-mail" "music player" or others... even though i've set the font size in overall display settings to very small, these widgets does not seem to apply the settings to it. In the Note 3, the font settings are consistant across the device.
The Color patterns on this Note 4 also seem to be inconsistant.
I also noticed in e-mail app/messaging app you can manually change the font sizes to smaller. But im guessing theres no way to do this in widgets?
The texts looks so much better on this gorgeous screen with a little change
Moved your thread to Q&A where it should have been posted.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I'm sharing these applications because I find them really beautiful. First install Win 8 launcher and then install 8.1. Then you have to apply the 8.1 theme through the Theme tile which has a T-shirt icon.
Kindly please give feedback on this.
I want parallax and option to change background of tiles just like start theme in wp 8.1. What i don't really want is regular transparent tiles just like the other competitor. Here is the example of what my suggestion looks like:

You suggestion in not showing on IE. Do you mean like when multiple tiles are showing a single picture just like in pieces? If that is so I'm afraid you can't do that with conventional methods.

This is definitely the nicest Win 8 launcher I've seen yet.. AWESOME JOB!!
What are the chances of you sharing the source code? Would love to help out and add in some features to it, I'll probably try and decompile it and see if I can hack in some of it for now though but these are some things that would make it perfect:
1) support for more grid sizes like 5 rows instead of 4 in portrait mode
2) better landscape mode for apps, different grid size for apps (6 across 4 down)
3) better landscape for start mode (right now in landscape mode the top icon ends up filling the whole screen at once instead of keeping the tiles the same size and filling them in accordingly)
4) better support for 3rd party SMS apps (it won't let me change that at all for badge count)
5) support badge icons on other apps as well
6) make status bar when scrolled to the top of start screen stay color of the top tiles instead of default to the black (so it's like it is when its scrolled down but always)
Thanks again, your launcher made me feel at home again after switching to android from windows phone!
Any updates on this application? I really love my 1520, and now I have a Note 4 and I miss the UI and live tiles of Windows Phone.
can we have any other launcher.This is a great one,but want some more.
Same here.. Really looking for a good Metro UI Launcher for Android.. I HATE Androids home screen..
GOOD
Gr8 nut you should a custom theme engine.
I was excited to see ViperOne on the M9, since I've used it on my M7 for basically the last two years.
After having trouble with Revolution, I installed ViperOne and my problems went away. But one thing that is bothering me about it is the weirdly limited grid size. Even on my M7 with ViperOne I could set the grid to 5x6, but on my M9 I'm limited to 5x4 at max, but the default was 5x6 before root.
It might sound like a silly thing to be weird about, but the 5x4 grid size takes away the sleek look of the OS in my opinion, and also disrubts my need for a certain order.
Is there an option I'm missing to change the grid size that isn't in the app list? Or is there an app I can download that will allow me to adjust grid sizes?

Download textdroider. Change the dpi to 400. Sorted.
The app has no footprint on the phone, if you want to you can uninstall the app after modification
That changed the grid size of the home screen but not the app selection.

Really? It actually changes everything as you're altering the dpi output of the phone . So it should affect everything. Try a different dpi. Find the sweet spot. For me 400 is perfect and as far as I can remember it does change the app drawer, have you tried leedroid. That's my go to sense rom.

Yeah it just made everything super tiny but the apps remained the same grid, just more spread out. :/ I went all the way down to 380. Everything is too tiny now.
I don't want to reflaah right now either because I don't want to have to set everything up again, so I'm probably stuck with the app grid unless they do an update for it.
Or I decide I'm ready to redo everything again.
Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't an option on stock M9? I thought it was. But I do know ViperOne had 5x6 on M7. So it is weird that it would be different on M9.
