There is a setting for icon size. And also you can change the DPI. These are the 2 ways I know for makeing icons smaller.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows of an app which can change the icons in the app drawer? I've tried many apps but all they do is change the home screen icons. Any help on how to do this would be very much appreciated.

This function may be possible by switching to a different launcher, but I do not know which launcher would be capable of doing this. Usually the images in the drawer are read directly from the apk, and the apps which change the icons on the home screen can get around this by making a widget with the specified icon, which points to the application.
If there are only a few applications you want changed, it is possible to change them the hard way, by extracting the apk, changing the icon in the "/res/drawable-?dpi" folder, and then installing the new application by hand. (It will no longer be signed, so you will have to go to allow this in Settings > Applications > Unknown sources)
I don't think any launchers are capable of changing app drawer icons. Looks like I may have to do it the hard way

You can use go launcher which has option to change icons.. All U need is an icon pack..

Launcher pro can change app drawer icons,as can adw launcher. Just get an icon pack...or better still, make one. It's easier with launcher pro.

I'm using adw launcher and it can't change the icons. I have a really cool icon pack, and it changes the icons... but not all of them.. so everything doesn't match. On adw you can't manually change the icons of an individual app. I'll give launcher pro a go

Try LiveHome. With this launcher, you can manually change the icon and also label name of any app in appdrawer.
Cheers man. It won't recognise my icon pack though, but still, it's the first launcher I've seen that can change the app drawer icons

I finally posted in 2 forums last night, asking if anyone knew ANYway to, but still no answers at 1 &was told that only thing possible is there are some apps that change icons &let u change labels on Home screens only, at the other. I'm gonna try this right now. Thanks ALOT!!!

When i press long a Icon in the Drawer this comes direct on my Desktop, no Options , the Options are only at the Desktop!
Why ??
Nova launcher just got an update, now to change an app drawer icon (to a picture from gallery and hence a uzip, or from an apk) long press on the app icon in the draw. Drag it to the edit symbol. Click the app icon in the edit popup. Choose icon as desired!

You have quite a nice screen density. On my Mate 7 everything looks much more zoomed in, which I don't like. For example, I get way less notification icons in the status bar, maybe only 6-7.
Changing the font to "small" didn't do the trick.
Any help on this?

Hello, i have a problem to with Noav. Many times Nova Launcher kill it self and go back to stock Launcher. Who can tell me what can i do? Other Launcher have the same problem (apex etc.)
Manage Apps, the bottom left of default-app settings, Launcher. Select at Nova overview. There you'll find all Launcher installed.
Nova launcher keeps crashing on me, for no reason, 2/3 times when i just unlock my phone with fingerprint sensor. M7 32gb amber gold.
Do you use any of Huawei's own widgets (e.g. the weather widget) ? If so remove them and your alternative launcher will not crash anymore.
I'm using the weather clock widget yes. I'll try it out. Tnx
Nova launcher crushers every time I try and place the amber weather widget, anyone has come across this?

I'm looking for any tips, tricks or advice for people with failing eyesight and using a stock Android device (Nexus 5X). Anything to be done besides ticking the Larger Text box under Accessibility? Is there a way to make the application icons bigger? A way to increase the system font so it's larger everywhere? Rooting is NOT an option.
Text to Speech stuff doesn't work well in crowded places.
for change dimension of app in app drawer (if I have understood well) you can simply change launcher to nova or anyone allow you to change icon dimension in drawer for the rest you have to modify the dpi so in the build.prop you should adjust dpi of the phone but root is required...

up to 145% but it's not the only think you can do in Nova, if you want bigger you can reduce the matrix of grid icons for have a dimension at blind proof... ?
