Thanks people!

Take nova launcher and set your maximum grid size for the home screen and you can resize it to the maximum grid size. (I'm not 100% if it's nova but it could give you the option to create and size widgets over 2 or more home screens)

That's not the answer of what I asked. I just want to resize it to 4x1, I don't want to change my launcher

You asked for an external app that could resize your widget. Nova is an external app and the solution.
Could you provide informations about your installed launcher or rom? That would help to find a solution.

it's htc sense 4.1, so I don't think there's a solution based on the launcher. I was thinking of moding the widget itself, or something like that
I've occasionally had luck somehow squeezing it in, but I still can't really reproduce. I was able to get a 4x2 to a 3x1 by making some room for it in a different part of the same homepage it was already on so I could move it to the other corner, but not quite enough space for it to fit full size. I then moved it there, thinking it would just move the other apps around, but (maybe because one of the things in its way was also a widget), but it didn’t! It shrunk! I haven't yet been able to reproduce with a different 4x2 widget, so either i'm remembering the exact configuration i did wrong, or there's some "hard limit" on the widgets even beyond what it lets you resize to easily. Good luck

Actually, check this solution out! Works for some other widgets, I managed to get my other 4x2 to a 3x2 at least. I'm a noob so I can't post links yet but it looks something like this

The trick posted in OP community worked nicely for me. Writing it here for others.
To resize widget less than permitted (i.e. resizing a 4x2 to a 4x1):
Go to Settings > Display > Display Size > make it small/smaller as required. Then resize your widget. Revert back the display size settings. The widget will remain reduced size.

Hey lads,
google and forum search couldnt help me. So I have to open a new topic
I would really like to change the app menue to another grid size.
I want to have 2x2.
Usually it's 4x4.
GO Launcher allows me to go bigger in size (5x4 and 5x5), but I want to go in the opposite direction, because I use folders.
Is there a way to achieve that?
Cheers
hm.... try adw launcher it might have this option...
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient
-Thanks

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
Someone has got to have made this but I can't seem to find it. I'm using a "hubs" layout (one screen for social media, one for productivity etc) and I'd like to essentially have a horizontally scrollable launcher widget on each screen with apps that make sense for that hub.
Currently using simi folder widget which is cool, but I'd prefer the launcher bar that is activated by clicking on the folder to live in a widget right on the home screen.
Could anybody point me to a widget app like this? I'm pretty sure I saw a video where someone had this but didn't see details on what they were using. Thanks!
Edit: sorry if this would have been better posted in themes and apps. Please move if necessary.

If I'm understanding you then what you're looking for is a dock that can display icons that are specific to the current page? Something close would be Nova launcher which provides a scrollable dock. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Thanks, I'm currently using Apex and I really like it. I don't want just 1 dock (no matter how many pages on it you can scroll through). I want a different set of apps in a horizontally scrolling launcher bar widget. Then I could put an instance of this widget on each of my homescreens with different apps in each one. Then when I swipe from my "Office" homescreen to my "Photo" or "Video" homescreens this "launcher" widget has the appropriate apps for that hub. Hopefully that makes sense.
Like I said, simi folder widget is pretty good for this kind of setup, but I thought there might be a better solution out there.
Hey Guys/Girls,
There's a topic on what im about to ask here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480256 however no-one has replied, hoping s4 mini users may be a bit more helpful .
Basically, I'm using Nova launcher and for the life of me can't get my widgets to look like they do in Touchwiz, is there any way to reduce the padding on the widgets?
I've seen someone saying that this is the reason they don't use Nova but Apex instead, can anyone confirm this?
With the screenshots, the one on the left is using Nova launcher and the one on the right stock Touchwiz.
Any help would be grweatly appreciated .
Cheers.

The Yahoo Weather widget is a 2x2, not 4x2.

Do you mean in my screenshot? I know as this is a size option with the Yahoo weather widget and i don't want the 4x2 widget. As you could see though, it looks much nicer in the Samsung Touchwiz than in Nova launcher (looks much more elongated).
I've set the number of rows and columns the same as Touchwiz as well as seting the height margin to non and width margin to small but that hasnt helped.
Cheers.

Looks the same on my s4 mini... It's not elongated unless you manually resize it. Have a look at the attached screenshot, please. Tell me if that's what you mean.

Hmm that looks much better than mine! How many rows/columns are you using? Also are you using Nova launcher? If so which version?

LOL. Yeah, I'm using the default everything in Nova Launcher. Nova Launcher is version 2.3.
BUT
The Yahoo Weather widget is a 2x2, default size. The BBC News widget is a 3x3 RESIZED into a 2x2 to fit into the top right corner. Like in the attachment.

Wow, complete amateur hour moment for me haha, realized that stock Touchwiz grid is 4x4. Changed this in Nova and now lines up better however there still seems to be quite a bit alot of padding above and below the alarm widget (small i know but annoys me ). Going to swith to Apex launcher and see what that looks like.
Anyway, thanks for replying arsradu :good:
Cheers.

How can I copy my homescreen icons/layout from Apex to Themer?
What I want is:
1) Copy the homescreen grid shortcut items, folders, widgets.
2) Copy the grid layout, so if it's 7x7 in Apex, it will be 7x7 in Themer.
If I could do this just once that would be great.
If I could add a shortcut to copy them over whenever, that would be better.
If I could mirror, so anything deleted, moved, or added on one would be done to the other....

Hi,
You can change the grid layout in Themer by long pressing on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Desktop - Desktop Grid Size.

Is there any way to copy over the icons and wigits / folders? Maybe an app does it? I've looked at a bunch, I'm guessing it's not developed.

We don't think an app will do this, but copying your icons and widgets manually won't take too long You can then save your layout so you'll never lose it

I've been testing apps and launchers, done a lot of reconfiguring.
Many of the features of a Launcher are also available as separate apps, so it seems the most important is stability, special features, active development. Right now Themer has no search in app manager (which is being redone) but there are a bunch of app manager apps to use instead, none that I'm happy with so far, but the only way to find the perfect setup is to do a lot of reading and testing. So, the app manager that ships with a launcher could be a selling feature, but is not a reason to not go with a launcher.
Unfortunately, few devs code for one-hand use with a dark background / light text in all apps. Most apps have the toolbar on top and the keyboard on bottom, makes no sense to me, everything should be where the user has his finger most.
