Hello All,
Not sure if this is the correct forum...sorry.
Does anybody know of an app which lets me change the space/margins between the icons? I've changed the font and it is a little larger size, therefore it gets chopped off at the second line caused by the icon below.
Thanks
Charles
Found it
with the app 'ROM Toolbox' (requires root accesss) you can change the 'ro.sf.lcs_density' anyway you want. In the menu: Performance -> build.prop Tweaks -> ro.sf.lcs_density.
That is one way to go, the other way is by manually change your build.prop, but I recommend using that app.
Hope it works for you.
But becareful using that app, it could mess up your ROM.

I am working on some mods for a Sense 2.1 ROM for the HTC Thunderbolt (based on latest OTA 2.11.605.3)
Two things I am stuck on, and I have searched high and low to try and resolve this but can't come up with what I need.
#1 - I want to change the icon size (workspace screens and app drawer) from 72x72 to a larger size (maybe 90x90). I have already added larger icons to apps and adjusted every size I can find in Rosie that looks like it would effect icon size. I even adjusted a lot of the padding amounts, but no luck. I did however notice the mail and messages icon would go to the larger size "sometimes" on the homescreen and in the app drawer, but not all the time. Very strange.
Anyone done this and know what i need to do to get my icon size like I want?
#2 - I would like to customize the background color or image on the settings menu (and sub menus if possible). I cannot find an xml file that seems to relate to the main settings screen where I can trace the color or set an image as the background like you can do with the app drawer.
Anyone know how/where this is done?
Thanks for the help, I look forward to getting some direction on this so I can hopefully move forward with this "project".

1.
While I've never tried to change icon size (except to make them smaller....), I was able to do it by increasing number of icons (aka 4x5 layout). I know in res/values/, values-hdpi, and values-port-hdpi there are dimens.xml and integers.xml. Since I've never done it before, I can't help you specifically...but that's where I would start. It won't matter the size of the actual png inside the apk, Rosie will size the app based on its resources.
2.
The settings menu, I'm almost certain, calls for resources in framework-res....please don't quote me. I've never tried to theme that myself but I am almost certain. Look for references in Settings.apk to @android, et cetera. Narrow down your search like that. I recommend this line of code:
grep -lr "@android" Settings/*
^assuming you decoded Settings.apk into directory "Settings"
^also assuming you're on Unix system....
Sorry I couldn't be more help man! Good luck!
Can someone tell me how I can make an APK so i can install fonts on my SGS2 and select them in the font app the came with the phone?
I do not want zips for flashing as I do not desire to change the system default font, but rather the option to add more choices.
I tried taking a look at some of the other font apks I have downloaded but have not been able to ascertain how they are made so that I can recreate.
I made a couple of own font .apks based on this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
First time will take a while till you finish it and get it to work, but once you get the hang of it, you make own flipfonts like a machinegun
And flipfonts are the ones that appear under Settting - Display - Screen Display - Fontstyle? so I can change them around without the "hack" of overwritting Droid Sans and having to reboot?
Because I have the Fontomizer SP app installed which also comes with a slew of fonts which are installed like any regular app and they show up in "Font Style" and I can swap around without ever having to reboot. And thats what I want to do to with "my own" font APK's as well.

Just purchased this app for its audio profiles but can't seem to figure out how to create new profiles. So far all I can do is edit the two default profile. Please help if you know anything! Thanks!
You set the volume levels to what you want then click on the floppy disk icon in the top right corner. You can rename it to whatever you want and have it create an icon on the home screen if you want. I have four profiles that I use frequently on one of my screens.

Love this app, been using it since day one, keeps getting better and better.
Appreciate the responses fellas.
Do either of you know if you can change the icons (widgets) on the home screen? I like the minimalist look so I prefer to make my own text icon. I haven't been able to find an audio manager that allows me to do this using folder organizer or bettercut.
Edit, I see you need to buy the paid version to change the widgets look, but can you use a custom image or only the images available on the market?
How could I be able to change text color in buttons?
From the image, I tried changing the boxed text from '<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_holo_light</item>', and creating my own drawable xml file to link it with that. Color change seems successful, but it also affects other holo white buttons as well (see image). I don't want it to happen, for it renders those buttons unreadable. Can you help me with this one? :angel: Thanks in advance!
BTW I am currently using Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

cant you just set root explorer to use default device settings?
then use xblast tools from the xposed framework to change default system text colors.
Thanks for the help, but I found a solution. I tried to find a more specific string, and it worked! I was planning to theme this framework, and use it for my first Custom ROM, a clean one without any 3rd party app to change styles. Thanks again!
