What exactly is the difference between a skin wallpaper and scene. It gives you all three options but i would think they are the same. Are all three of these combined a theme?
Wallpapers is the image behind the icons/widgets on ur pages.
Skin is a color layout for the sense UI.
Scenes save both of these plus your icon/widget layout, like profiles for your phone layout.
I'm looking for a launcher that can adjust icon size and text size for both the icons on the home screen as well as the icons in the app drawer. Also needs to be able to adjust number of columns and rows.
Best I've found so far is ADW Launcher EX - allows one to adjust icon text size and icon size for the home screen icons, but the icons become blurry when enlarging, so rather pointless.
Or is there an easy way of doing this manually?
Or you could use an application to change the LCD density. Search on market for LCD Density. You should find plenty.
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

I have DCikonZ for icons pack under Look and Feel. These are square icons 114x114. I've tried to replace manually some of them with icons (not from a set), 144x130. After I choose the new icon, it is displayed in an editing box where I'm forced to cut some parts of the image to make it square. I could not figure out how to use icons with a custom aspect ratio (different than 1:1). I'll appreciate any help!
Update:
I still didn't figure out if Nova Launcher supports icons with aspect ratios different than 1:1. However, I found a way around it. I've modified the icon canvas size to 144 x 144, on a transparent background. Now the icons are shown at the original aspect ratio (144 x 130), because they are part of a transparent square.
How to make icons of this size and in such quantity in a standard launcher with this theme? I have this theme, i like it, but how..?
Setting->Developer option ->Minimum Width (600-700)
And what about home screen grid? I have only 6x7 on stock louncher
