Can I make the icons bigger on my Nexus One with Froyo?

Ie, bigger icons and less space between them.
Yes, I did the search and read the answers and nothing that I can find. I'm happy with the icons but I want them bigger and less wasted space.
THanks

Are you allowed to bump posts which I just did?

Have you tried http://www.appbrain.com/app/lcd-density-changer/com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer ?

No but looking at it, it seems it's doing the opposite of what I want.
Thanks though

You can resize icons with launcher pro

How's that done? I can't figure out anyway in launcher pro to change icon sizes.

No you can't.

im looking for this as well.the only thing that i don like about android its icon size.yesterday i installed miui and saw that it had larger icons than stock android icon size it looks wicked.i tried lcd density changer but didnt like it coz its not compatible with some programs.widgets or something are so long way.you must resize and put the widgets one by one.

Use Desktop visualizer...?
And you can resize with launcher pro, if you have the plus version.

how do you resize icon with the plus version? I can't seem to find that option anywhere..

Download "Multicon" from the market then find out how.

You can't resize icons in LauncherPro Plus, you can only resize widgets. Besides, I think this person wants to make their icons bigger yet keep them within the restraints of a 1x1 area.

Multicon can do that. Just select one column by one row and select your app.

Grid Display Sizes

I'm trying to cram a couple wigdets and icons onto the same same for my Epic 4G, and I noticed something when I was trying out Launcher Pro: the bottom control icons didn't have titles under them, and as a consequence, Launcher Pro is able to fit 5 control widgets on one line.
Is there any app/workaround out there that allows you to change the grid size of your display from 4x4 to 5x5 or to hide the text that is below the app icons to provide more app space?

mission possible! you need to be a hacker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994
good luck

Don't you just need to change the number of rows and columns in the LauncherPro homescreen settings? Unless you're talking about something different.

There is an app called lcd density I believe and it makes it possible to fit more
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

LCD density just changes the DPI, so things look bigger or smaller. It doesn't affect the placement of shortcuts or widgets. Like Jumba said, you can change everything you've mentioned in Launcher Pro. It's the main reason I use it over Sense.

Customizing my galaxy s2

Hi, i've bought a galaxy s2 and have rooted the phone using android. Currently i'm using villain rom.
I've downloaded Launcher Pro Plus.
But I can't figure out how to customize my apps with custom skins. I tried press and hold to see if that works but no. Only works on the 5 bottom application! Can anyone help me how to customize the rest of the apps.
Thank you

What u mean my apps with custom skin? Did u mean custom icon for ur apps or the apps to suit with ur custom launcher?

Custom icon for my app's!

You have to assign the icon as you add it. Long-press & add shortcut/application that way. Once the icon is on the screen, you can't change it. Just one of the many reasons I chose ADW EX over LP+.
You can also use Desktop Visualizer. If you add your apps as widgets you can change the icons later by opening Desktop Visualizer, selecting menu, then refresh widgets in edit mode. Then you can select the Desktop Visualizer widget you want to change as if you were launching it & you'll be taken to the configuration screen. When you're done editing the icons change back to normal mode by selecting the notification or menu > refresh widgets > normal mode within Desktop Visualizer.
By the way, you didn't have to root to do these things. And in my opinion, ADW (Ex) is a billion times better for customization.

If you want to change icon at ur homescreen,then Yes,can. But if u want to change on app drawer,it hard to do.
For me,im just using Folder Organizer to change icon on the homescreen only.
Other method is using adw launcher.

[Q] Alternative Launcher

Hey all,
I have always been a fan of other home launchers like launcher pro and go launcher.
What i have noticed though is that they are not "tabled optimized".
With that i mean that you still have the dock like you have on your phone and the icons and widgets are much smaller.
Is there a way to get one of them working the same way as the default launcher?
I like the sizes and i don't need the dock, only thing i do want is the extra options which the alternative launchers provide and i do believe they are smoother than the default launcher.
Thanks!

Try ADWLauncher EX. It's tablet optimized, has a ton of options and the launcher bar can be hidden or not used if you want.

i often get that when i wake my TF that it laggs al little or needs to reload all the widgets and icons.
I want to see if this is due to the default launcher by using a different launcher.
But all the other launchers have smaller icons, have the dock, have other widget sizes, and the app list is ugly!
so far i tried LP, ADW, GO.
None have the same sizes as the default one, so i was wondering if this can be adjusted with some simple settings..

As far as I know you can't adgust the size of the icons on the dock. I also wanted to do this but was unable to. As for resizing all other icons, go into the ADWLauncher EX settings > Icons > New Icons Settings > Icon Size and you will be given a slider to adjust the icon sizes.
Most widgets can be resized using ADWLauncher EX. There are some that will not resize despite what you do.

Not the answer i was hoping for
so i guess i will have to wait until one of them makes a tablet version the wait i want it
or seem to find out why my launcher lags or needs to reload everything.
Maybe its prime.

I use desktop visualizer app to resize my icons. You can download PNG files from Google or Bing to create custom icons as well. Works well with adw ex. You can have your icon take up the whole screen if you really want to.

ADW EX has The ability to use larger icons. Its in asd settings/ui/icons. Then just check the box for the density hack. Makes the icons the same size as the asus launcher. ADW is what I use and it is a huge improvement over the stock launcher IMHO. For those looking to hide the dock and expand the desktop area it does that to. You just need to select that in the main dock settings, then in the new hidden dock settings disable that to and presto no more dock.

I personally like the hidden dock. I just swipe down and it goes away, swipe down again and it comes right back. Kind of like touchwiz mini apps.

With Folder Organizer app, you won't ever need to go to app list. Just add the container labels to the Home screen or notification area. App Organizer is an alternative from the same developer.

Where did you get this info? Their homepage and FAQ clearly states it's not compatible with tablets.

Because its still in beta mode

i tried it out its not that great. It lags realy badly and also costs 15$

Having purchased SPB shell 3d for my phone, I've tried it on my Asus as well. Performance is OK but I don't like that you can see parts of the adjacent screens. Not running it right now on either phone or tablet.

After it's last update, I think ADW blows everything else out of the water. It's really nice.

Don't scrolling widgets lag A LOT on ADW? Stock Launcher FTW

I don't have any lag issues with ADW EX on my Transformer. It makes it as smooth as (if not smoother) than iOS... I recently showed and iPad 2 owner my Transformer and he absolutley loved it - couldn't believe how smooth everything was...

remove icon labels/names?

Is there an App or widget that would allow me to remove icon labels/names?
Haven't rooted yet so just running a stock Rom.

you can use desktop visualizer and keep shortcuts of your desired apps on the homescreen and you can remove the labels/names .....

In 3rd party launchers like ADW and Launcher Pro the option to hide app labels is there.
But if you really want to keep stock launcher I guess you could use Desktop. Visualizer to add a shortcut to the app and clear the label then use the icon from that app but it comes out a bit stretched out, unless you have custom icons in a higher resolution.

Bettercut will do that for you too.

GO Launcher EX has this option as well.
