How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

I was just joking. You will have to root and change the DPI. I have mine on 400 right now and it looks a lot better.

It's cool. No worries.
I did that before on my old HTC One. I just didn't wanna root and wipe out everything in storage by unlocking the boot loader.

Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.

I had to dump stock for nova launcher, drove me nuts that you couldn't center certain widgets on the stock launcher.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Does the stock launcher allow you to change app icons? I thought I read somewhere that you could..

Yeah, just press and hold the icon and let go. You should see a purple thing on the icon. Press it. Now you can change your icons

Mine is really basic right now as well. I had switched to Nova launcher but when I did, I lost the Knock Knock feature. It'ls pretty damn handy... I hope we see icon packs made for the stock launcher or a way to enable the gestures without needing to use the stock launcher.

I just saw instructions in one of the g2 threads to use the knock feature with nova. I can't find it now. There is another app you need to download and set up the gesture in Nova.

The OP mentioned he doesn't want a third party launcher. You can try disabling Google Search. It worked on other versions of Android but I don't know if it will still work. One thing; anything that relies on search will not work.
I want it out of there as well, I've been on android since the begining and I have an exact layout I use. That location is where my clock widget goes and there isn't a chance in hell I will use their stock launcher until it can be moved.
visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google"
I would love to be able to simply visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google" voice function working (don't mind loosing the Google Now swipe too)!
if there is an app or some hack that can be applied to stock tooted ROM, pleas let me know.
Thanks
Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Not yet. There should hopefully be an update to the launchers in the play store soon to allow this.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.
Never mind. Figured out a way.

Kitkat for the Nexus 4 already comes with a messaging app. You just have to set it as default.
