Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Thats truly an amazing launcher, no other one allows such customization, I gotta have it. Thanks for the tip

Very nice
It does look pretty amazing! I might give it a whirl this weekend when I get paid.....still worth getting.

Price is a bit high but I took the plunge and I believe it can only get better love it so far.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.

I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

[Q] A few questions with the MOAR MK3 7.1.0 rom

Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,

Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.

make icons smaller

Can some1 show me how to make the home screen icons smaller.im on stock 4.4.2 rooted.i have tried xposed with app settings.tried changing dpi,nothing happens.

so i managed to get the icons smaller with textdroider dpi.its marginally smaller,but still takes up a lot of the screen as its auto aligned to a grid.is there an app to make it not auto aligned,something like on windows where you can put icons anywhere.

If you use nova launcher. Light weight, lots of options, basically free.

Yeah, Go is bloated. Nova is awesome. Also, if you are using Gosmspro, try Chomps instead.

[Q] Disable screen unlock mode

Hello,
My G3 is running CloudyG3 ROM and I also added Nova launcher to get a better material style. Unfortunately Nova doesn't provide a custom lock screen so I tried with AcDisplay (as example).
Looks good but it asks to remove default unlock method from settings but on G3 there is no such an option.
Is there a workaround to get rid of awful default unlock screen?
(I'm not quite sure about right section. I posted here because maybe somebody comes up with an alternative app that completely overrides the default lock screen)

Not in CloudyG3 2.2 apparently

@fillobotto There is a none option in Cloudy 2.2 . look at these screenshots from my phone, it's in romanian but the first option is none

Performed a full wipe then CG3 2.2 again. Finally it solved the problem.
I'm sorry to have opened a thread for this.

Good to see they brought the app drawer back. Did they also bring back the ability to re-arrange your home screens? That was a bigger annoyance to me and the main reason I installed another launcher.

yes its there too

Is there anything compelling here that would make it worth using over Nova?
