[Resolved] [Q] Halo Launcher - How do you resize widgets? - General Questions and Answers

Just installed the Halo Launcher on a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5 and don't see a way to resize widgets. I've tried long-tap with no luck and don't see any settings for it. From what I can tell, that feature is there, but can't seem to find any way to doing it.

[Q] Resizing Icons (Trying to find launcher)

I like having big icons on my phone but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that. It seems the only launcher that will let me resize the icons is Go Launcher but I find it to be bulky and cumbersome is there any other launcher out there that will let me resize or even an app which will do it for me? I've used desktop visualizer to no avail and I'm pretty sure I've gone through most of the more popular launchers but was unable to find a resize option in them.
My phone is unrooted and I'm using a Xperia Pro
Any help would be appreciated.

(Q) - Lockscreen widgets. How?

Hey guys, iam no novice to Android, did a ton of modding/theming/flashing on my MDK s4, and my s3 before that. But for some reason I can't put my own widgets on the lockscreen.
Yes, in security settings I have multiple widgets enabled. But for some reason I can't remove the stock widget and add my own. It's super frustrating. Normally I use Apex launcher but iam sticking with blinkfeed for the moment. So so I need to use a different launcher to get my own widgets? Or is there some other trick? All I want is to use dash clock as my lock screen widget, then poweramp and my news apps to the right. Thanks.

[Q] Widget to switch user

Hi guys,
Im looking for a widget that is able to one-click switch to a specific user.
Like I click on the widget / icon on the homescreen and it switches to one of my users automatically.
It would be even better if I can change the icon / appearence of it to make it completely invisible.
My Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1 is rooted and I use a Cyanogenmod Rom and the Nova Launcher.
Thanks for your help!

Has anyone figured out a workaround to changing icons on the Google Now Launcher?

I'm using the Google Now launcher on my S7, and it along with a Marshmallow theme from the Samsung theme store has given the phone a nice stock Android look. Unfortunately, the icon pack included along with the Marshmallow theme hasn't applied on GNL. I know GNL doesn't natively support icon packs but has anyone figured out a workaround for this? The TouchWiz icons stand out otherwise. And when I say icon packs, I mean in the app drawer too, not just modded shortcuts on the home screen.
In case you have root you can use Xposed and the XGEL module to use a different icon pack:

Otherwise (i.e. without root) I would recommend a launcher like Nova.
I'm not rooted.

Use Nova Launcher. You can set it up to look exactly like GEL, but it's more functional and performs better. You can use Google Opinion Rewards to build up a couple of £/$ to cover the cost of "Prime" but it's not necessary.
Fyi for anyone googling this or looking for this still. I had my s7 edge display scaling set to condensed to fit more on the screen. Once I changed it back to standard (with the material Samsung theme applied) and rebooted the correct icons appeared. Could be that the change forces the launcher to recreate icons or clear it's cache etc.
Also, stock android lovers, install good lock from the galaxy app stores to bring the stock android notification shade and status bar into your s7. Got a very stock feel now with Samsung material theme, Google now launcher and good lock.
Hope this helps someone.
So switch your display scaling after setting your theme should flush the icons ??

S7 Edge Marshmallow custom Lockscreen widgets

So I can't seem to find anywhere if there's a way to put custom notifications on the lockscreen. I just switched from S5 on KitKat to the S7 Edge on MM and I'm trying to set it up to my liking, but it seems like so many things are missing from it.
I don't like the Good Lock app it looks bad to me. I had Chronus widgets setup on my lockscreen and I like to scroll to access more widgets as well. I think there was a tweak from Xposed to enable that on the S5 and then the setting was available in the Lockscreen settings, however now I can't find a way.
Is MM that locked down? Is there any way to get custom widgets on the Lockscreen at all??
You are going to try some 3rd party lockscreen apps. For example C Locker or WidgetLocker.
