Homescreen grid. Which one do you use?

The default one on Sense is 4x4, but it could be increased with the likes of ADW or Launcher Pro.
I was playing with different values, but widgets are always overlapping.
If we take 960×540 display and subtract notification and dock areas, what's left? Don't think it is going to be 540x540. So, if I want to get rectangular greed, I'd need more rows, then columns.
What would be the optimal grid settings for qHD resolution?

I use adw.launcher with 6*8 grid. It's perfect for me.

So, using 6x8 on qHD screen, what would be the size of 1x1 cell?
I was trying to measure it with Desktop Visualizer tool, but the resulting widgets still overlap. ((

Sure icon texts / labels are overlapping, but I don't keep them enabled.

I use Elixir, and with the widgits, it is possible to get up to 7x7 icons on a screen.

I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and I think it looks great 6x4. It has an option to re-size widgets so that they don't overlap.

I use Elixir also. Started using it for the monitor and toggle widgets but fell in love with the app launcher widgets. I actually have zero icons on my home screens (all widgets) since Elixir is a widget. 49 icons on one home screen!

I really wish Sense could do at least 5x5...

I use ADW EX. 5x7 Is the best for me. 6x8 is too cluttered and it makes the icon labels overlap. Btw if the widgets look out of proportion just long press on them, press edit and adjust them to your liking.

What widgets is this guy using?

SPB Shell 3D
He's using SPB Shell 3D (see in market)

i love my shell3d calendar and weather widget. such a shame shell3d doesnt display too well on the note. 4x4 has all the text popping out of the bubbles in the widget, and 16x16 looks too small. they need to integrate 5x5 or 6x6, then it would work much better.

Have you tried setting your note to 240 dpi instead of the original 320.
@ 240 the 4x4 icons don't look too bad.
cheers

It's really a shame for an App that cost £10

5x widgets for Galaxy Note

Please enlist apps which have 5x size widgets, at least until ICS happens.

All stock Samsung apps made for the note have 5x widgets:
1. S-memo
2. S-planner
3. Accuweather

HD widgets in market has some nice ones specifically for the note

I have just installed HD Widgets but all I can see are the 4x? widgets on there, nothing else?
Am i missing something, I thought there was special widgets for the Galaxy Note??

update to the newer version, it allows you to do 5x1, 5x2, etc.

Done, love it.
However everyone else needs to follow suit and get some 5x widgets out

mClock has 5x1.

FANCY WIDGETS is another alternative....
and for battery widget..
go for battery indicator widget ... it has good graphics !

Widgetsoid (toggle controls) also has 5x1 widget , very nice.

Calengoo (feature rich calendar app) has multiple 5x widgets with tons of customizations.

Elixir 2 with Elixir 2 Widgets.
Or use one of the third party launchers like ADW/Launcher Pro/GO that let you resize any widget. Most 4x widgets look fine when stretched to 5x.

I have Fancy Widgets but it has only 2x and 4x size, not 5x

Apw has 5x Widgets but you need to set it up in the main app before the 5x Widgets show up in the Widgets menu.

Try adw launcher.

Try Android Pro Widgets

i think spb shell is good..

Power amp pro seems to have 5x widget

Minimalistic Text has native 5x1 and 1x5 widgets.
No 5x2, though, which would be useful

(Apps) ( Updated ) Sense 4 Launcher, Sense 4 Big & Small Clock, Butterfly Clock

Hai,,,,
I want to share how to make your phone looks like HTC SENSE Launcher with SENSE 4 Clock and HTC J Butterfly clock using APEX LAUNCHER and FANCY WIDGET based on free version Modify by me for QHD 540 x 960 testing with MTK Based phone....
Setting Apex Launcher and clock widget :
1. Homescreen Setting ---> set 5 x 4 potrait grid and change the vertical margin to Large
2. Dock Setting ---> set Horizontal margin to Large, Vertical margin to None and check Hide dock divider and then change the dock background to custom and choose dock icon from attachments below
3. now you can change dock icon manually
4. add 7 homescreen in desktop so the screen indicator will be short like sense 4 launcher indicator
5. resize the clock until you see same as screen shot below
6. make 4 folder like in screen shot below for looks like htc j butterfly
7. tap minute clock to enter fancy widget setting
Setting Fancy Sense 4 Small ( With Weather Animation based on Fancy Widget Pro 1.0.8 )
1. Appearance Settings --> Widget Style --> Flip Clock
2. Advanced Settings --> Choose Enable unlock animation
Note :
- this clock widget work with android 2.1 but Apex launcher only work with android 4.0 and above
- you can update apex launcher because it"s original version
- Fancy Widget 3.5.5 and Fancy Widget Pro 1.0.8 use different weather service so maybe the weather will different

I have the an HTC One V which has a resolution of 480x800. I find your Butterfly Clock works perfectly without using the Apex Launcher but is too big (see pic) as it is designed for 540x960. Is there any chance of re-sizing it for this resolution please..

HTC J
Hi, that was quick. Is this a stand alone app or still for Apex Launcher? I think a stand alone app would be popular. The first shot shows the original clock (top) and the new one (bottom) without Apex Launcher. The second shot shows the clock with Apex Launcher.
The original clock is in the correct design for butterfly the new one is not. Also the original has Accuweather which is much better.
My thoughts are it would be nice to have a stand alone butterfly clock app with two sizes 480x800 and 540x960 with accuweather which HTC uses. I don't know what other people think, many thanks...
