Hi,
i'm looking for a solution to change the space between the icons on Homescreen and Menu....
i'm using the ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop...
quit good but the icon space is much to big...
is there somewhere a option to set this??
mainproblem is on homescreen... it looks like the screen still wants only 4 icons...
but is capable of much more now with different lcd_density setting...
thx 4 every help!!

That's the problem, it only "looks" like it does, but unless you've used a launcher to change how many rows and columns can be displayed it will stick to 4.
Hi,
ok thx... i mentoid this allready too...
the main problem is i use the device in landscape mode...
so there is much more space...
but because screen rotation function, and the less more space in portrait mode i'm stuck on 4 icons in landscape too...
but ok, i now it should be possible to change this behavior, because i know i a android 1.5 device where this isn't like this...
but no idea how to change this...

Hi Everybody
I installed adw launcher and tryed out some themes. but the themes doesn't mach the size of the screen.
Do we have to change something in the program for the themes to fit the screen? or do we have to find themes made for the x10?
from Norway sorry about the bad English
do you mean wallpaper? i don't understand what you mean by themes cause they all work...
assuming you mean the wallpaper, make sure the wallpaper size is 854 x 400 and it will fit perfectly

960x854 is the correct size to cover 3 screens.

no i dont mean the wallpapers. but the wallpaper doesnt go over the whole screen aswell. but thats not the problem. you know. the notification bar and the meny bar can be scrolled down from the middle of the screen. i can't put my finger on top of my screen and take down the notification bar from the top. have to do it from the middle of the screen. hehe im not so good to explain but its like the whole theme is to small. not just the wallpaper but everything. does anyone know of a working theme for the x10 in the market place that i can test?
try THEME ONE, it is free and worked great for me...

Are you using ADW themes? I've never had an issue like you describe so not sure what might be causing it. In regards to your wallpaper, you need to drag the little box so it covers the whole image otherwise it just gets cropped.
I have tryed put some themes and it happend with 4 themes i think.
but i found some themes that everything works with.
i know about the box that you have to drag all over the picture. but that wasnt the issue. if you don't drag the box bigger you will zoom in the picture but the picture alwas goes over the whole screen.
but i fixed the problem now. it was only a couple of themes that was something wrong in the file or something.
thanks for all the answers
Have a look his video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPihz5x4enE
As he explains, the buttons are just part of the wallpaper, fair enough, but how to
get the different apps and activities to respond to touch?
Also, what launcher is the best for the tab... i always find myself annoyed by the fact that icons and widgets never sticks where i want the, or i find a good d placement, but space between are to big, etc..
I have bought both launcher pro plus and open home 6, and there is ADW... but what do you guys think?
Anyman: what do you use in the video?
Get desktop Visualizer and have blank pngs for icons, set a 10x10 grid and you'll b able to put the anywhere, adw and LP can resize Widgets so you shouldn't have a problem with placement

Thx

any size will do, just make it 50x50px, and put them on your sd card where you will remember, all my icons go in sd root/icons
Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!
If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.
I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)
My favourite launcher @ Maket
Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.
Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

Slim defaults the DPI of the phone to 241. The default is 320. You can change it back in Settings... under Interface / General UI / LCD.

Hey guys! Bought my z3 today and have a few questions hopefully you guys can help me with . Iam sure it will help others to .......
1, How do i get my wallpaper to only take up one homescreen? When i swipe left to right for example... the wallpaper moves which i would rather it NOT do?
2, Is it possible to make icons smaller? Ive put some apps on the homescreen and they look massive! Ideally would like them to look smaller
3, Can i scale widget size? I could on my last device but not on this? I want to make the clock widget bigger but cant?
Just because you called them general questions does not mean they go in the general section.
They are still questions that you want answers for.
Thread moved to the questions and answer section for obvious reasons

1. NO, for this use third party launcher.
2. As i know, no. You can only change font size (Settings > Display > Font size) - Maybe it will help you. For DPI change you need to root it, and to change build.prop to make things smaller or bigger.
3. Yes, select widget and drop it on same place, you will get dots for resize. Of course, if widget support it.

Thanks,Pity about the wallpaper! Would much rather if you could crop the image and not have to have the wallpaper panned out over the various home screens
Found a fix for the wallpaper issue ! Not ideal but it works, If you download backgrounds hd from the play store and choose your wallpaper from within that app , it gives you the option to crop the image and set it as a fixed wallpaper Just make sure 'scrollable' is NOT ticked! As i said,Not ideal but it works! Really dont like scrolling wallpapers !!
