Hey guys,
i have cookies great work with the home tab and what not but i was just wondering if there was a way to increase the size of the icons to make them larger similar to the stock ones size wise.
Anyone know??
thanks in advance
Anyone at all please???
more icons means smaller icons. You want to make them similar to the stock version, then you will have less icons.

I realise that but ive seen some screen shots from other members screens with icons that are nearing stock size but still maintain 4 across...just curious thats all
Ok so what I'd like to do is take fonts from some of the free font packs available from the market, and use them as fonts in Beautiful Widgets.
I've installed them, but BW doesn't see them.
So, I'm assuming what I'll have to do is pull the font packs in adb, and push them back somewhere else. I don't know what directory they need to be in, though.
I could also be completely wrong and not know what the hell I'm talking about. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Also, if anyone can tell me how to go about changing the system font, that would be helpful.
Edit: Ok figured this out. Still don't know how to get beautiful widgets to recognize fonts...
Ok. I'm an idiot. I forgot the BW settings only allow you to change the CLOCK font. The date font is changed by changing the system font which I've already got covered. Der. Mods you can delete this whole thread if you like.

That's the only thing I know of off hand.
And I don't know if that is HC compatible. The market says it is, but it may still cause problems. Try sending a direct message to the youtube user if you don't want to chance wasting the buck.
Desktop Visualizer - Free -Allows for custom shortcuts with adjustable size and custom pictures
ADW EX -1.99? - Allows for adjustable icon size and custom pictures but icons max size is confined to a 1x1 grid.
Yeah I just came back to mention DV. I forgot all about adding it as a widget to make icons of any size =P
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

Hey guys! Bought my z3 today and have a few questions hopefully you guys can help me with . Iam sure it will help others to .......
1, How do i get my wallpaper to only take up one homescreen? When i swipe left to right for example... the wallpaper moves which i would rather it NOT do?
2, Is it possible to make icons smaller? Ive put some apps on the homescreen and they look massive! Ideally would like them to look smaller
3, Can i scale widget size? I could on my last device but not on this? I want to make the clock widget bigger but cant?
Just because you called them general questions does not mean they go in the general section.
They are still questions that you want answers for.
Thread moved to the questions and answer section for obvious reasons

1. NO, for this use third party launcher.
2. As i know, no. You can only change font size (Settings > Display > Font size) - Maybe it will help you. For DPI change you need to root it, and to change build.prop to make things smaller or bigger.
3. Yes, select widget and drop it on same place, you will get dots for resize. Of course, if widget support it.

Thanks,Pity about the wallpaper! Would much rather if you could crop the image and not have to have the wallpaper panned out over the various home screens
Found a fix for the wallpaper issue ! Not ideal but it works, If you download backgrounds hd from the play store and choose your wallpaper from within that app , it gives you the option to crop the image and set it as a fixed wallpaper Just make sure 'scrollable' is NOT ticked! As i said,Not ideal but it works! Really dont like scrolling wallpapers !!
