This is a basic public awareness notice: What LCD density does and its drawbacks (the why it does what it does is not addressed b/c I have no clue).
We've all seen or heard about changing the lcd density property in /system/build.prop (and why it is better to edit this through the text editor via root explorer rather than use an app which is shown to be unstable). However, as most of us who have messed with it along with additional rows and columns on the home screens via Launcher Pro and ADW, the big problem is icon overlap or crowding.
Why is this?
I'm still trying to figure out how exactly a LOWER value of LCD Density results in a DENSER display. It doesn't make sense to me. However, it is inescapably linked to letting android keep a 4x4 display as SQUARES for each icon "block". Decrease the # and those squares get tighter width-wise. I'm just not certain then how it works with varying the # of rows and columns.
HOWEVER, in order to prevent overlap, the screen NEEDS to be in 4x4 with an LCD density of 240. That is, to keep the blocks square.
Otherwise, prepare to tweak and fiddle with your homescreens so your icons and icon text don't resemble scrambled mush, and what looks good in portrait won't necessarilly look good or the widgets won't be the same size in landscape. And vice versa.
So, like many other things, fiddling with this property (while cool.... I've finally settled for an lcd density of 210 with homescreens rocking in 6x6 using launcher pro plus) there are trade-offs.
Be aware, and have fun tweaking your settings.
Have you found anyway to avoid the slight blurring of Ui elements when not set to the default density?
I also tried 6x6 with 210 running LPP but my widgets (beautiful Weather, Switch Pro) wouldn't stretch the width of the screen.
I'm back to 4x7 which looks the best, but that doesn't make sense to me either!
EDIT - I have landscape mode disabled because it lags on LPP at the moment. I also don't have text displayed for my icons so if I could just get everything to line up correctly, I don't think the overlap would be that bad. I just can't figure out why the widgets don't stretch (I do have auto-fit checked).
Example of 210 4x7:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

You have to use Launcher Pro plus to stretch widgets.

You do have Launcher Pro Plus right?? (Just checking because you can only do it with the paid version)
To be able to stretch it.. you have to press and hold it like you are going to remove it.. then release it. The widget will then be highlighted and at the bottom right of the highlighted widget.. you will see an area for you to drag and resize the widget. After you have resized it, press the back or home button.
Thank you for clarifying...it worked! I feel dumb for not trying that begot so I appreciate it! My dimensions are now 5 x 7. Im going to have to experiment and see what kind of dimensions work best. What are you using?

I'm actually at 5x6
You know.. I just played around with the homescreen rows and columns and I have come to find that... 5x10 is pretty good!! (That's 5 columns x 10 rows)
Yes you have the possibility to overlap... but the row alignment are so small... that you can easily move the widget up one and it looks it would on a 4x4
Is there a way to resize the icons?

Note: They come out slightly fuzzy (you can see the fonts) and thats the fault of Desktop Visualizer.

However, I think it looks good enough for daily use.

@raymond4 - No it is a zip file of icons that you use with Desktop Visualizer.

i did the images double the sizes of what you'd need so that when you resize down, they will stay sharp and not have blur. using dvr's large widget and resizing them down to either 3x1, 1x2 etc....depending on what image you are using...

Excellent app. Thank you very much.
Only request I would have is for more horizontal configurations by "default" (instead of stinging along a bunch of 1x1). Anyhow, very nice app, freed up a ton of space and improved the appearance of my home screens.
I agree with the horizontal configuration. One other thing I think would be nice is if the icon you select would highlight like the regular icons.
To "" - Awesome application. Everything is OK, but.. Can add icons automaticly, not one by one? I have more than 100 little icons on just one screen, and add every one of them is much time eating Samo function, that add all installed applications would be very high rated.
Hey guys, ive made myself some custom icons as i wasn't really happy with what was out there. Ive set them up with Desktop Visualizer so they are bigger.
If anyone else is interested id be happy to upload them and share them to the community.
im also in the process of making a hancent theme to match, and the app market
If anyone does end up wanting them and you need a icon i'll make it for you, only if you request it like this
Application name
[image/link to icon]
Colour you would like (if other colours end up being made)
So i guess this is my contribution to the community lol

Actual size of icons in .psd, so you can have them pretty big on the homescreen if you want.
INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need
- Home Screen replacement adwEX / Launcher Pro ect... ( I use adwEX so ive only tested on that)
- Home screen setup to 10x10
- Desktop Visualizer + config tool (both free in market)
- Folder Organizer (optional)
First setup your home screen to 10x10 and install DVR
Copy all the .pngs to the dvr folder on your sd card
Long Press the home screen and create a dvr config widget, place it in the top left corner and tap on it, set it to 10x10, exit out. Move it to the bottom right tap on it. It will confirm itself. You can delete that widget off the home screen now.
Long Press the home screen and create a DVR widget 2x1 for the size on my home screen or resize the widget 4x2 to have it double the size, or 8x4 for a HUGE one.
Tap on the widget to set it up, under "icon" select image and navigate to the dvr folder and image of choice.
Under action you can choose what you want the widget todo, ie; Launcher an app.
Leave the label blank, and touch effect to whatever colour you like. (im using blue)
When you are done, tap OK and your new icon/widget will be set up.
If you have folder organizer you can setup the app draw icon to link to the app folder via "other/folder organizer link/applications" in the DVR action menu. ( its how i have it setup)

Well so far I've tried ADWLauncher Ex, ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro and GO Launcher EX.
So far GO Launcher EX is the only one that at least works for almost a minute, before the Tab reboots and is stuck (started through the finished installation notification).
Pressing the home button does nothing except vibrating sometimes.
I recently tried this launcher and quickly enjoyed the simplicity wp7 offers but don't want to go to wp7 phone any time soon.
Most of my icons are from the metro ui packs but didn't go with metro ui because the tiles look smaller while launcher 7 tiles take up the right amount of room on my screen.
For the live weather tile I use fancy widget pro you have two options for the weather widget and works well for me.
Update- launcher 7 now has landscape support which is good and much better live contact tile image updates.

All you do is press the arrow to go to your app list, being there press and hold the app you want to be a tile, then you get to choose your tile size and picture. For pictures just look up metro ui icons in google/internet,ect and you set them and make the tile, hope it helps.

Here's a quick write up on how it was achieved.
Transitioning Wallpaper was made using this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
I created a folder for each "hub" containing appropriate wallpapers (ex. music, games, home etc.) and used the app to point individual screens to individual folders. I've changed the settings to rotate the wallpapers every 5 seconds and change upon double tap.
The "quick view" section on my "Home Hub" was achieved using minimalistic text and just expanded the dark background, overlapping the "weather" widget (beautiful widget>weather forecast)
Widgets used were from:
Pulse
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alphonso.pulse
Music
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&feature=search_result
Despite all these running on my nook, everything else is smooth and no noticeable impact on battery life (OC to 1.1 ghz).Anything else i missed please let me know.
Just saw the video. And wow. This is just brilliant. Reminds me of the LauncherPro wallpaper tab screens
Could you share some more info about the launcher and layout etc?

sure. I'm using ADW EX with a 10x10 grid. I turned off all transitions as they seem to lag the screen a tiny bit. Those black bars were created using minimalistic text background and stretched to overlap the icons/widget.
So it could (in theory) work with normal ADW, but mod the backup file for 10x10
Using ADW EX for my honeycomb layout, and this would be a nice change. Ill try it out asap and post screens
And is it possibly for you to post your wallpapers you used? Just to get the size right and have a base to work from

sure it can. however ive heard it does cause problems.
check this thread out for more info and i'll upload some walls later when i get the time
NVM figured it out : )
That looks absolutely brilliant...
I think I've found my weekend project for the Tab
Thought I'd post my results so far
I like the Portal 2 screen, glad the Darkedge theme comes in both portal colours still trying to find icons which suit each screen, but I'm happy so far.
Thanks again.

I don't understand how you expanded the dark background of on widget over another. I try and I just get the red shaded area showing me I can't do it. Please explain?

What launcher are you using? Maybe it doesn't allow you to overlap over other widgets
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
VTLauncher its based off of ADW.
Update: after installing ADW EX there is a setting that enables widget overlap. Hopefully that helps others as well.

any chance of sharing the wallpapers used? thanks ^^
Hi All Hubs Fans,
I'm newbie in Android, going to get galaxy tab plus in 3 day later but i still deciding shall i go for 7.0", 8.9" or 10.1" size? My country "Asia" Galaxy tab 7.0" plus came with phone call function and i prefer 7.0" instead of other because of the phone call function. But problem is did those Hubs software support 7.0" and i wonder how it look like seem the screen are smaller. I try search Google, Xda and Youtube, no single clue on it.
If anyone did apply Hubs over Galaxy Tab 7 plus, please share your screenshot and advise here.
Thanks in advance
Osward
My first atempt and "Hubs"
I really liked this concept so I decided to give it a try myself, this is what I got so far:
Also by sliding down on the dockbar you get an option to choose a screen to jump to:
As I said, this is a WIP but I'm quite happy with the outcome so far ^^
