Change Font Size of Widgets? - General Questions and Answers

Hi I have low vision I'm wondering if I can change the font size of widgets somehow. Since I set my Google app font size to very large it seems that all of the widgets rely on that.
Thanks.

Grid Display Sizes

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.

Weird widget scaling

It seems that some widgets on the U11 are scaling larger than they should be. For instance, the shazam widget is usually 1x1, but it's 2x2 on this phone. Same with some of the yahoo weather widgets, which normally would scale 5x1, but are 5x2 on the U11.
Anyone have this issue? It's really annoying!
Have you tried holding your finger on the widget to see if it allows you to resize it?.
Try changing the display size in settings/display to small.

The widgets cannot be resized, but changing the display size from default to small worked. Thanks!

Grid resize missing after DPI change

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

OneUi icon size tweak?

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.

Google App, very small font

Hi there,
just got 9.5.5 on an European OP7pro and after this update the font size has decreased on the Google discover stream (using Nova Launcher but also standalone same behaviour).
My resolution changes automatically (according to the current setting), if I switch to FHD it's fine again. But I wanted to stick to automatic.
Font size changes in phone settings do not have any impact on the Google app, it seems.
Can anybody confirm this?

I see similar things with the Chronus widget in Nova launcher, depending on the resolution the font size differs strongly. As I had set it to autoswitch I was really confused after the reboot when the font size had increased strongly...
