Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

I have DCikonZ for icons pack under Look and Feel. These are square icons 114x114. I've tried to replace manually some of them with icons (not from a set), 144x130. After I choose the new icon, it is displayed in an editing box where I'm forced to cut some parts of the image to make it square. I could not figure out how to use icons with a custom aspect ratio (different than 1:1). I'll appreciate any help!
Update:
I still didn't figure out if Nova Launcher supports icons with aspect ratios different than 1:1. However, I found a way around it. I've modified the icon canvas size to 144 x 144, on a transparent background. Now the icons are shown at the original aspect ratio (144 x 130), because they are part of a transparent square.
How to make icons of this size and in such quantity in a standard launcher with this theme? I have this theme, i like it, but how..?
Setting->Developer option ->Minimum Width (600-700)
And what about home screen grid? I have only 6x7 on stock louncher
I have my screen grid set to the largest it can be (12x12) in order to position my widgets as granular as possible. Of course this makes any app icons on the homescreens very small. There is an option to resize the icons in the settings under Home Screen, but it won't let me increase the icons above a certain level (right now it's 97%, but I've seen it as low as 72%). But even setting the icon size as high as it will go doesn't seem to affect the homescreen icons; they're still very small, definitely not even close to the icon size in the dock. I've been using Giganticon as a work-around to make the icons as big as I want, but this naturally doesn't work with notification badges. Is there a way to override the artificial limits on the Nova settings to increase the icon size?

Anyone know how to modified home screen layout grid to 5x8.
Because Mi Mix 3 have a long screen aspect ratio, the vertical space between two app icons is too long when you set a layout size of 5x7 and the layout looks disproportionate.
I'm using revolution os so modded with themes not change anything..
Hi,
i just use Nova Launcher - no matter which ROM i use.
Would this be an option for you too?
