A couple days ago I pulled the trigger and purchased one of these since it doesn't look like the Note is coming to ATT. I use GoLauncher EX and change rows/columns to 8 each. On my Galaxy Tab 8.9 and my old Streak everything was dandy; all the icons and Widgets resized appropriately. But with this Skyrocket, the icons and Widgets do not resize. It just cuts off the graphics that's outside the allotted space. Where's the setting(s) to allow the graphics to resize appropriately????

Try the Go launcher settings to resize widgets, maybe stretch to fit.
Tried that. It's not a Go Launcher issue. Same thing with Launcher Pro & ADW.Launcher.

4x4 resizes fine for me. I tried 8x8 and it looked like crap. Icons were all broken up.

There is the Go Launcher and ADW Launcher like you said. Try LauncherPro or NovaLauncher. Just search the market for launchers. Or google. I think its all based on grid.
I've been trying them all was hoping someone knew something 3rd party not based through the market :/

You can always use circle launcher for increased personalization.

My favorite right now is Launcher 7 from the market. Its simple, stylish and customizable. I'm running that on top of CM7 with an ICS theme, and haven't looked back.
Where do you get themes for it I mean I've had It but wp7 never appealed to me

I paid for adw launcher ex and love it. ive used launcher pro, go launcher and adw is my fave.
I too am using ex but I'm a person who wants something different all the time and these are just getting boring :/

There are no themes for Launcher 7 as far as I know. It's basically 2 screens; the WP7 style tiled grid, and the application list to the right. What you can do though is use your own images as icons, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a colored tile with the white icon in the middle (the default setup). Using a transparent.png and some images you like you can bend it to your liking. The CM7 ICS theme just affects the highlight color when selecting an app from the list and some small color accents when hitting the soft menu.
Before I found Launcher 7 I was using Launcher Pro, so that would be my next vote, then ADW.
I use Zeam. Love it.

Go Launcher EX is really good. I can't really think of any launcher not based on a grid but there are Circule Laucher that's not really a laucher but more of a "laucher" inside of a launcher. It look really good though. An alternative is WaveLauncher which is not bad either.

If you want something completely different, you could tty Rocket Launcher. Not my thing, but kind of cool.
i used SPB Shell 3D for some time and thought that was really cool .
Not at 15$ its not awesome xD

I paid for ADW and used that for quite some time. I just purchased SPB Shell 3D and I have enjoyed it. The price tag is a bit steep but I have been using it on my Acer Iconia tablet and found it to be great!
I liked how you could change out the panels

I'll cast another vote for Launcher Pro Plus. I'm a big fan of its widgets. The calendar widget is very clean, minimal, and lets you toggle easily between month and list views. I have LPP running on CM7 and it's incredibly stable. It's also very customizable. You can't do away with the grid layout, but at least you can change rows/columns. It also has a super smooth vertical scrolling app drawer, if you're into that.
I don't run widgets. Cost to much memory so I just keep it clean and simple. I only use one widget at a time

Hey guys. I'm running seanz's skyICS 4.2E-14 which comes with touchwiz ux. I'd like to change the grid size on the home screen (perhaps to something like 7 x 8) so I can adjust the LCD density. Is there any way to do this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
Im not sure but if u click the menu button and go under settings their should be launcher settings then u could click homescreen and choose the size.

Download lcd density pro from market and adjust the screen density to around 180

People.. thats NOT what he is asking !!!
seacritasianman .. as of right now, no .. there is no way of changing the grid size with the new Samsung TW-UX. I to had asked the question in the original development thread in the Samsung 9100 section .. and to Sean.
The only grid size that can be modified is the Apps Drawer .. thats it.
Don't know how attached you are with Touchwiz, but you can try a 3rd party launcher. I think all of them have an option to change the icon grid size.
Ah alright. Thanks LordGeek. And I used to use Apex, but for some reason, I've taken a liking to TWux, so I'll just stick with it for now xD

I was wondering if anyone has this same annoyance. I run a fairly clean, stock and rooted tablet, and I like to group my icons on my homescreen. However I absolutely hate the bland file folder icon used for grouping multiple items. Is anyone aware of a MOD for this? Similar to the JB ROMs out there? I'm DYING to see this fixed.

If your talking about say combining apps into a folder and dont like the icon use a diff launcher and change the icon. Like apex it nova ..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Try circle launcher lite rooted or not.
Folder Organizer is a good app. I use it on mine. You have the option of either using a shortcut or a widget to link to each folder/category. Plenty of choices for folder icons too. It's better than using a mod in my opinion.

I loved touchwiz, but trying nova and apex since last night. Both seem good, I can't decide which one I like better. Touchwiz is great if you don't care to customize the looks imo.
most of the comparisons I've seen apex vs nova is apex has all the stuff for free that nova has in prime (the paid version). I use nova myself as I purhcased it when it was on sale for 0.25 cents and haven't gone back. I used to use go launcher on my droid eris back in the day and my wife uses it on her droid charge (can't wait till her upgrade...hate that phone). My personal experience is while go launcher is nice..it seems to be more geared for older phones. Another launcher you may want to try as I hear its been upgraded is adw. All the launchers will be rather similar with small differences (unless you shell out 15 bucks for the 3d one that I can't remember the name of).
Nova all the way.
On my previous phone I tried and liked all of the big three ICS/JB variants... Holo, Apex, and Nova. I used Holo the most because I got the paid version on sale. But since using the GS3 I've loved how the latest Touchwiz looks and feels. I like the way it looks, it's smooth, I get folders, app drawer folders, hidden apps, etc. And I love the calendar widget on Touchwiz.
The only thing I missed is gestures. I used to have two finger swipes setup to launch specific shortcuts/apps when I used Holo Launcher.
If I ever get sick of Touchwiz I'll definitely move on to Holo or Nova.

I really like Nova. For me it seems to be a little smoother than Apex. I'm using the paid version and think it is worth the cost.
Nova, Nova, Nova and Nova.
Did I forget to mention? Nova.

If money is of no issue then TSF. Just offers way more customization but it's pricey.

Nova for me. Apex and nova are what I narrowed down to a couple months back, both are very good, very smooth and very similar. Differences I remember when investigating were apex having separate up and down swipe options on dock icons (very cool) and nova having folders in the app menu. Everything else seemed comparable.
But, with the number of apps I have installed... folders in the app menu won out so I use nova.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Best launcher to have is one that includes all the options you need to achieve the look and feel you want For me it is Nova.
I use Apex, but I have to admit after watching this Ubuntu Theme video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgxzbvuHwi0 I might be getting TSF. Looks cool.

Agreed tsf launcher is number one in my list, only downfall is there is no auto landscape. Next i would say sbp shell fully customizable as well. Then i would say nova prime, tied is holo, adw, nova, go launcher, touchwiz. If you have any extra loot try the tsf.

I've been using the new Total Launcher from the guy that made sslauncher.
It's in beta still but it's updated all the time and is the most customizable launcher I have tried and I have tried them all.
Worth a look
screenshots?
How does it compare to Nova?
I tried it and came back to apex. I really don't see how you could get any more customizable than nova or apex....unless I missed something.

Not to hijack your thread, but I've been using the Dodol launcher and it has been working great. The two things I like most are the ability to change the grid size and the icon size.

I like "Next Launcher". Just a better Launcher with a hell of a lot of possibility's.
I tried Total based on this, and it is pretty amazing. Definitely might be the most customizable I've used, up there with Lightning or something. If anything that's the fault, it's overwhelming. It makes sense though it's well thought out, just daunting.
