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?

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

and then u are all done....start using!!!
Sense Launcher Donut.apk 1.6 users download donut version...
SenseLauncher.apk 2.0+ download the sense launcher.apk
WILL WORK EVEN ON NON HTC PHONES!!
ACTUALLY MADE FOR NON HTC'S!!
I'll try this out! Nice
Still ADW... Want real Sense
So is this a add on theme for adw?

I want to know how to activate the action of the phone space in the dock
Looks cool and nice! However, when I tried it out on my milestone, the Phone icon is overlapping the "Phone" button on the dockbar, and the right button beside it is overlapped by a small "flipcloc-like" icon. I hope it gets fixed. Keep it up!
fixing the icon
go to market download Expresso UI icon pack
press and hold on desktop
select custom shortcut
select "pick your activity"
select phone
click on the icon to the left of where "pick your activity" is
select "Expresso UI etc"
next to the top "^" there are like 2 transparent icons on either side of it
select that and press ok
now on your desktop you'll have a blanked icon with (phone) under neath of it
Drag that down to the launcher bar that has the phone overlapping it
release
(now you have sense like bottom bar) do this again for the settings i just went to app's > settings...but if you want you can go to custom activity and have it pointed to a specific sub menu of your settings.
This is the closest to sense i've gotten on my NS4G, but hoping theres a flashible zip for those of us who have an ADW-EX license!!
But thanks for the apk man!!!

Sense Setting > UI Setting > Tint Ab (Select it) > Ab scale factor (set 1)
And drop any app (which should be launched) from app drawer to the right button.

can we have like ab scale factor set to zero it would be cool. And messaging app in right button by default.

Works just great.....thanks for this great share!!!!
I just picked this up today so if there is anything new anyone else has found please tell me lol...but as for the old icons still being there a better fix i found is to find a Transparent .gif and create a custom shortcut via longpress on home screen and select what you want it to do and change the icon to your .gif

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.
Sent from MIUI on my HTC Inspire.
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
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
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

Launcher
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
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium
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

I'm very new to using my new tab. Just wondering what launcher are all of you are using and which you think is best. I'm still on original launcher but I find it slow and sometimes unresponsive. I tried out adw ex but the icons are very small. Any suggestions of good launchers for tablet?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
ADW is fully customisable.
You can edit the icon size as well as text site in it's settings. ADW Ex is the best in my opinion!

Go launcher any good for tablets?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
Besides Touchwiz, ADW launcher EX has HD icons for tablets... i have tryed Go Launcher, Launcher pro and both are good but more geared for phones...
However ADW EX needs to be set at a different DPI (133 and below) to get the HD icons (tablet mode) on the SG7+
I might be wrong but i have yet to find a way to make ADW EX apear in tablet mode in the standard 160dpi.
Any of the above (ADW, GO Launcher and launcher pro) are Faster than touchwiz in my experience... however touchwiz is more elegant and better suited for tablets, except that its jerky and less configurable.
Im currently using ADW with dpi at 133.. looks great IMHO
I've reinstalled adw but ibcant find where to change dpi like you said, where can i find this option?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
Is it even possible to change the DPI for just ADW Launcher EX all on it's own? Or do you have to set the DPI for the entire tablet. If one could trick ADW into thinking the dpi was 133 and leave everything else alone that would fantastic and would minimize headaches.
(Sorry if I'm kinda stepping into this thread but I'm curious)

You can chamge icon size in adw ex settings but dpi is a setting you can change for the entire rom if you are rooted. See my tweaks thread in general.

i tried most of the famous launchers. but just keep coming back to STOCK Touchwiz launcher. it just feels right for a tablet.
I use Go Launcher Ex because It's the only launcher that allows App Folder INSIDE the app list. All others can only be done in Home Screen.
For HD icons, just search for HD Theme. I use Suave theme.

I used Blade Buddy to set dpi
This made a whole lot of stuff start force closing.
I wouldn't really suggest it unless you have an abiding hatred for the Honeycomb taskbar.
If you do then I would be happy to explain how to get around the force closes (mostly).
Edit: dpi was set at 171. 160 will give you the Honeycomb again. Sorry about that.
I use LCD density modder pro, so far it works alright for me.

It's a feature of every third-party app launcher I've used. I've used Go Launcher EX for months, and I didn't realize that Samsung took it out of TouchWiz.
I just downloaded go launcher and still cant set multi screen wallpaper. What is going on?
Edit: i can set a portriat image...what about landscape like old touchwiz setting?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I've tried a few of the launchers and ended up going back to touchwiz to get the stock notification number overlay on icons such as email and messaging. I now miss setting multi-home screen wallpaper and watching it scroll as the homepages move.
Since Samsung removed it from the latest version of touchwiz can i get it back by loading an older version of the apk from an older version of the firmwear... Say ep4d?

You can't with the default launcher unfortunately (unless someone 'fixes' that in a custom ROM down the road). But you can get a 3rd party launcher and do it.
Such as? I hate adw and am not sure about go launcher ex performance on this device, wish i could use go launchers tablet version as it is set up in a very convenient way as i always use this device sideways

I think the two I hear the most about with 4.0+ are Nova and Apex.
+1 on Nova.
I used that on my G2 and my N7. Havent tried with my new PQ since I'm not sure if the fancy icon swipe feature will still work.
Hmmm nova... my old photon had nova on it with cone name android rom.
