I have a note 10+ (SM-N975U1) and I am looking for a way to get my Home Screens, App Drawer and App Icons to follow the DPI change I make under Developer Options. When I change the DPI to anything other than the standard 410, everything seems to change with the exception of the home screens, app drawer and app icons. I was able to do this a few releases ago but I cannot any longer.
Any ideas on how I can get this to change without installing a different launcher?
Thanks in advance!

I had this issue with the Note 9 already, and seems that the stock launcher doesn't follows the DPI setting.
We had this issue with the official keyboard too.
I'm still waiting for a solution too.

Yesterday I noticed that the Apex Launcher was updated. After the update my screeens have half the amount of icons that I had on them. I think the update changed the size of the homescreens so less icons fit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I look at all the settings and I am not sure where this setting is...
Thanks

Are you talking about the homescreen grid size? Look for "desktop grid size" or something that would change the amount of columns and rows on the homescreen.
I don't use Apex, but it should be under something similar.

Every thing u will get under apex settings->home screen setting. Its a great launcher.
HTC wildlife S with CM9
change the grid size back to 5X4 in apex settings.
Yeah I experienced the same problem when updating to 1.2.1.
Fix is easy enough:
Apex Launcher Settings -> Homescreen -> Portrait grid set to 5 Rows, 4 columns
Maybe set it for Landscape mode too...
Fixes it.
After mostly lurking XDA for some time, I'm starting to get more involved here. I just broke down and purchased ADW EX, to setup a custom theme. I'm looking to use a combination of icons from Aw0ken ADW Theme, Elegant, and Simple Text. Naturally I'd like to use ADW EX, as I just purchased it, like it's options, and is compatible with the icon packs I like.
What I need to figure out is how exactly I can specifically edit different icons in the app drawer it's self. I find it relatively simple to change them on the home screen, but see no obvious way to change them in the drawer. My OCD in me is having a hard time here. Too many apps that I use regularly, either do not have a icon in the pack(s) at all, or one that does not look aesthetically appealing imo.
TL;DR - I'm open to any options that could get me to a result in which I could mix and match icons from different packs. Specifically, I want them to mix and match in the app drawer. Can't seem to get to any edit mode there, after trying long presses and multi-presses of icons.
Thanks in advance, let me know if I need to elaborate.
The app drawer that lists all of your applications, or the dock on the bottom of the home screen? Pretty sure u can't edit in the app drawer itself...

The app drawer itself. I know nova launcher lets you, my problem is that I don't see a way to make one of the icon packs work for it.

I use nova prime, and have for a while, and there is no way to change an icon in the app drawer itself!
Okay so I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the DPI for the S4. What does everyone consider to be the best DPI for the S4? Is there an easy way to change the DPI in cyanogenmod? I am currently using Infamous v5 with 340 DPI. I like the the fact there are more icons on the screena and such but it does look a bit off. Also is there a way to change the DPI per app, to fix some of the apps issues that come up?

1) I like 360, but some apps I will go down to 340.
2) In CyanogenMod you can still use the Xposed Framework and Per-App DPI settings using the App Settings module.
3) As for the icons, in your launcher make your grid larger, I use 7 columns and 6 rows at 360 DPI with 95% icon size and it looks amazing. All in Apex Launcher for me.

I have heard of issues for certain apps not showing up in the Play Store, is that a recurring problem?
Kinda dumb question, I have been trying to find a clear and easy way to install Xposed Framework on The Cyanogenmod Nightly on my S4, any suggestions or links you could send my way?

Nova launcher and Flatro icons. I haven't figured out how to make the navigation bar transparent yet. The status bar is made transparent and KitKat icons used in place of the stock ones using gravitybox.

Scrap that, I've sorted the navigation bar transparency, there's a small glitch in gravitybox, the navigation bar won't go transparent until you have pulled down the notification bar once.

dpi back to 240
Dpi set to 240 and xposed framework app setting module fixed to make some apps display in tablet mode, like here in the settings app
also the home screen grid is 7x6 and perfectly comfortable to view.

How have you been able to change dpi settings? Is root necessary ?

Yes you do need root. Easiest way of doing it is by using an app like Texdroider DPI, available through the Play Store.
@terminal 7 good idea, changing the dpi.
root .. yep

yes root is required, various apps then deal with full system dpi change ie- ROM TOOLBOX which has an array of tools and is suited to newer roms, some older apps mess up jelly bean build.prop and cause boot loop so take care with the app you use.
for more control over individual app dpi just install the XPOSED FRAMEWORK and once installed go through the list of available modules that are downloadable from the main xposed app and look for APP SETTINGS module, you get a much better level of control similar to the way paranoid android roms let you change individual apps.
enjoy.

This is what I did currently.
I modded the lockscreen, so that music widget is transparent and (more important) those annoying white grips at the side, when you turn on the screen, are gone.
The Launcher is Nova 2.3beta with semi-transparent navbar, plus I modded the SystemUI.apk for semi-transparent status bar and swapped Back/Recent buttons.
Widgets are Anton's Kalender Widget, Gotasks (with heavily modded app and transparent widget) and Eye in sky weather.
Setup of Nova is no-Dock and 7x5 grid. Background is FiveWallpapers from market with 4 different pictures for 4 homescreens.

Thanks a lot. I am a kind of a newbie with all those things. Im a bit scared of rooting my moto G ans loose my warranty. I've already done this with my nexus 10, but idk, i need tout try... Haha
I was playing around with several icon sets, but they never support ALL icons which looks odd, so I keep the default icons.
Launcher: Action Launcher Pro
Wallpaper: simpledesktops.com
So I am using the "App Settings" Xposed mod to change the DPI of my Nova Launcher to be denser (yes, I know I can change the grid size and stuff, but I want EVERYTHING to be denser). Unfortunately, that seems create an offset of my Zooper "Hotspots" . I have my Nova DPI at default now, but is there anyway I modify the DPI while still having Zooper hotspots work?
Thanks.

Changing the DPI will undoubtedly mess with Zooper widgets. It might help if the icons and hotspot areas are attached the same anchor but, apart from that, there isn't all that much you can do to stop it playing about.
Besides, you only change the DPI once, so you only have to adjust your widgets once and that'll be sorted for good.
