What do you have the columns and rows set to in apex setting? Also what dpi are you on. I can't figure out what the best set up is for columns and rows to where everything will fit (i.e. widgets) and look symmetrical. I'm on a dpi of 280 by the way.
I have it on portrait grid 6x5 but something just doesn't look right
always 7x7 with label disabled.
Yeah 7x7 @ any dpi (constantly switching between stock 320 and 240-220)

7x7 no labels 260dpi

I'm running 7x7 at 214 dpi. Love the look.
Dpi of 314 will allow you to fit the digital clock on apex launcher. I like the 5X5 setting so everything doesn't look so small.

You can do that without changing the columns to 6?

You only need 6 columns to add it. Once it's there, resize the clock to 5 columns, and then set the homescreen back to 5 columns.

How'd you get it to work? I can only get 1x1, 2x1 etc and my largest is 4x4. I see no options for a 5x widget.

I have HD Widgets running on my note too with the 5Xwhatever options. They included the larger widgets in their latest update I believe. You may be running an outdated version or it may be that the free version doesn't have the larger widgets. Are you using the free version or the paid?
They just show up in my widgets as an option. You must be outdated or using free version.

Ya only thing I have so far with a 5x2 is beautiful Widgets. Can't remember the names of the launchers tho that let you resize widgets. Tho from what I remember they really don't look right resized bigger usually

Android Pro Widgets with the Modern ICS Dark theme is really nice. I use the Timeline and Calender widgets at 5x5.
I believe zeam and ashell let you resize

Mine is 4 x 5 by default.
Yes, your right it is 4x5 but I wasn't taking the bottom row into account bc it was locked to just icons. Thanks for the info as I'll just get a nodded apk for this. Was hoping there would be an easy Configuration setting.
Thanks for the help!

you can do a 5x5 using nova launcher :good:
Unfortunately neither Nova nor Apex render that nice icon shadow as the Touchwiz launcher does. I know it's a small detail but I like it a lot of and hated it when I lost it. (Using Apex now.)

I use APEX launcher. Check it out on GOOGLE PLAY.
I found out about uccw last night and found a really nice theme thing is I cant get the widgets to fit properly can someone please post good settings so they fill with no spaces on the side or top. Spent all night messing about most themes are optimised for nexus 4. I have both apex and nova pro if that helps

Make your desktop grid as small as possible. Maybe 12 x 12. Thats how i get around it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
The grid size always depends on how the widgets/themes are done. To reduce the screens border have a look in apex settings.
Also have a look at mycolorscreen, they have tutorials.

Any way to change the number of rows of icons on the stock launcher from 5 to 4?

As far as I know, it is not possible. With the stock launcher you're stuck with a 5x5 grid. If you want to be able to change it, you might want to consider using a 3rd party launcher such as Nova or Apex.
Yeah...I just love the stock launcher...huge difference in battery life using stock as well

Well there is a process where in you copy the lghome.apk to your desktop and then decompile it and use apktools to change values I read it somewhere but can't remember but yes u can do it.

I am using neatrom KitKat ROM with the KitKat launcher. My trouble is that the home screen has 5 columns and most widgets of the widgets I use are 4 columns and therefore are off centre which looks weird. I can't find any settings in the Google launcher to change this so I was wondering if changing the DPI would adjust this, and does anyone know what DPI that would be? Yes I know I could just switch to a custom launcher but other than the number of columns I do really like the Google launcher.
Thanks in advance
