As you can see in the screenshot, after modifying the DPI to something more realistic and not comedic, the UI adjusted perfect except it didn't center the all apps icon above the home button. I'm wondering how this could be fixed through maybe a mod or something.
I do not want a new launcher that doesn't have Google Search built in. Its not the same stock experience. Any idea what I should do?

Depends what you are trying to do. Are you trying to get more docked icons at the bottom, or the main grid on the launcher. Basically, what I did is I changed my DPI to 439 (wanted 445, but notifications get cut off in the pulldown bar). This is ideal for me and gives me an app drawer grid of 5x6. However, the launcher grid stayed the same, so I used the Launcher Tweaks settings in Gravity Box to customize the launcher grid to 5x5. Now, I still only have 4 apps in the dock tray on the bottom (plus the app drawer icon in the middle), but I do have a 5x5 grid on the homescreen. It looks like it came from the factory this way.

On such a large screen, it is difficult to reach for the notification bar at top. Task switchers like wave launcher and swipepad can be used to set a button in them to call notification bar, but I'm unable to find such an app. (I got home and lock set this way though).
Anyone knows an app that toggles the notification?
I don't know of such an app, but in GO Launcher EX and some other launchers you can set it up so the notification bar drops down when you swipe down anywhere on a home screen. I've been using this on all my Androids and I love it because like you say, it's hard to reach the bar sometimes. If I try a new launcher and it doesn't support this I uninstall it immediately.

I know launchers can do it, but that is when you are at home screen.
However, with swipepad/wave launcher, a shortcut can be assigned to app for notification toggle. I have done that for home and lock buttons, refer to screenshot.

Thanks. Swipepad is now complete, with lock, home, notification and app drawer.
I'm stretching it but is there any way to clear notifications from anywhere other than the notification bar?
One more app: status bar expander
(better icon that hello status bar)

Using Nova and playing with various grid sizes. What is the optimal grid size for our screen so there is no wasted space and everything aligns nicely?
I an running kklauncher with 6 rows 4 columns, 5 dock. I like the layout and feel of it. Ran the same on my S3.

I use the free Nova Launcher with 5 rows x 4 columns on desktop and app drawer view. Also 5 on the dock, including the app drawer icon. I noticed the icon alignments on the desktop do not align with the dock icons, but this is also an advantage to tell the difference between the two when you have a full grid of icons.
I am running 5x5. Works best for me. You can change the way icons in the dock are displayed though. Just go into settings and set it.
It's called width margin or something under dock menu. Set it to 'none'.
I do 6 rows, 5 columns on the homescreen, and 5 in the dock. No margins, no padding, no icon labels.
For the app drawer I have 5 rows, 4 colums with labels.
Also with Nova btw
11 by 7 with Nova Prime, no dock. Seems like I go for a much smaller icon size than most, gotta make the most of the lovely high res screen though right?

There's certainly enough screen real estate for at least one more row. And if they weren't spaced 25 miles apart there would be plenty of room for another column as well...
Use another, third party launcher besides the stock or Google Launcher and you can set as many rows or columns you need depending on their limits. Atom, Nova and several other launchers come to mind. I think MIUI lets you change it too.
Also just as an FYI, stick with the Q & A forum for questions as some people will remind you later om.

Are you talking about the home screen? If so, you can change the layout from 4x4 to 4x5 or 5x5

I tried Nova when I first got the phone but some of the widgets looked really crappy compared to stock, so I went back to Touchwiz. I'm not sure which is the lesser of evils between the limited folders or crappy widgets! I haven't heard of Atom launcher. I'll check it out.
Thanks!
Happy to share the result of my hard work over the past few months. Edge Launcher (previously known as Edge Quick Actions) is a fast gesture launcher and app switcher that you can access from the edge of your screen anytime.

Edge Launcher allows you to access more than a dozen quick settings and toggles, switch between recent apps very fast and open your favorite apps. All of this is done with one single touch, without lifting your finger from the screen (there is also an option to open it with a quick swipe from the edge of the screen).
This is a major update from the previous version, with card UI and nice animations, as well as material design for the app settings. I'm also working to add more functionality such as adding contacts, shortcuts and theming support!

Happy to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks!
cool , but i wish that there would be a sliding back animation and some other customization opinions

What kind of customization would you like to see?

maybe animations and addons like ram bar and more detailed music controls(bigger and with cover art) and widget support to place them in an empty space
My tablet is Samsung Tab S7 FE with Android 12 and One UI version 4.1.1. After last update the desktop changed.
Before the icons at the bottom: recent apps, home and back, were in the middle of screen. Now they are on the right side of the bottom line, which is very annoying: you very often accidiently touch those icons.
I tried to move the position of those icons by pressing long - no success.
I don't want to use Nova Laucher or similar apps, so any possibilities to move those icons back to center of bottom line?

You can change the position. You have a choice of left, center, or right.
Thank you, now it works!
