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... ?

I'm trying to cram a couple wigdets and icons onto the same same for my Epic 4G, and I noticed something when I was trying out Launcher Pro: the bottom control icons didn't have titles under them, and as a consequence, Launcher Pro is able to fit 5 control widgets on one line.
Is there any app/workaround out there that allows you to change the grid size of your display from 4x4 to 5x5 or to hide the text that is below the app icons to provide more app space?
mission possible! you need to be a hacker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697994
good luck
Don't you just need to change the number of rows and columns in the LauncherPro homescreen settings? Unless you're talking about something different.

There is an app called lcd density I believe and it makes it possible to fit more

LCD density just changes the DPI, so things look bigger or smaller. It doesn't affect the placement of shortcuts or widgets. Like Jumba said, you can change everything you've mentioned in Launcher Pro. It's the main reason I use it over Sense.
I had modded my dpi to 280, and on the previous version of the Google app, this caused more app icons to fit because it increased the number of columns and rows in the grid. The sizes.of icons and text were nice and small.
With the 5.3 update along with the vertical drawer, app icons are big and only 4 fit per row. Any way to get around this? Will I have to reset dpi and change it again?
You can change your launcher, some allow you to change the size of the icons. Or try something like Icon Changer Free.

Just downgrade your launcher.

Friend you can use nova launcher which allows you to manipulate icon sizes and you could also hold back to stock Google now launcher like experience on it.
Hi, this is not strictly related to Nexus 5 only, but I would like to know if there's a way to turn GNL homescreen grid from 4x4 to 5x5 without Xposed.
I've changed the screen density but it seems to only affect the app drawer grid, with no changes in homescreen.
Also, I'm not interested in any third party launcher, because I really aim to keep Google Now integration as it is.
If anyone comes up with an idea, welcome then!
Thanks
Have you tried to change dpi? I use 400, but don't with GNL.

Yes but, as I stated, it only affects app drawer.
Running stock(ish) OS on S8+
Got my setup "just so", and needed to change my DPI in Developer Options from default 411 to 514 (=411*1.25) to make use of larger screen real-estate I paid a premium for.
Option to resize the Home & App grids have disappeared, so even though app fonts & icon sizes are closer to what I desire, widgets on home screens look bad - scaled proportionately but padded to take up 125% space
Keeping the DPI & font sizes as-is, is there a way to tweak the grid sizes?
New launcher required
Seems this is an artifact of the launcher & not the "display manager".
Managed to get something approximating the outcome desired by making use of Nova Launcher
Hi guys,
I am wondering is there a tweak or some way to tweak the size of the icons in OneUI Home?
I wrote this in Reddit, but I still haven't received a working solution, so I decided to post my question here:
I've recently bought S10e and when you switch the grid from 4x5 to 4x6 the icons are getting too small.
Honestly, I think that's a bug, because there is plenty of space left on the screen, especially between icons and at the bottom, and beside this, folder icons are staying bigger, which should be the case in the app drawer. Looks very ugly, unfinished this way.
Already tried 3rd party launcher but there isn't any which is allowing to place icons in the drawer in custom order( most of them sort alphabetically).
I've also tried changing the dpi in developer options to from 411 to 450 and that did what I wanted, but there's a problem with the font in app drawer getting too small...
I would appreciate any help!
I Have same problem too! Icons are too small in s10e i hate this. Before update i think that icons were a little more bigger than now. It's really sad that in 2019 doesn't exist any tweak or APK for display resolution and One UI icon size. Any way for resolve this ?
Can't help with a custom app drawer layout, but Nova launcher will allow you set custom icon size both on your homescreen and in your app drawer. You can increase the size up to 150%. And yes, I checked and it works with the stock icons.
Also Lawnchair Launcher.
I don't bother with any other now. It's very good.
