Anyone know of any launcher or mods that would allow me to independently change the grid size on my homescreens? By this I mean I would like to make my main homescreen 4 x 4 but make all the rest 5 x 4.
I don't know, but in the most of launchers like adw, nova and apex you can resize and overlap the widgets.

In almost all custom launchers, dock icons are smaller than normal icons, which makes them harder to press, especially on smaller screens.
Other than ADW EX, I don't know any other launcher that allows us to change the dock icon size or hide the dock all together and put normal icons in that space. For this reason, ADW is the only launcher that I can use. I can't use LauncherPro, Go Launcher EX, Zeam, etc. etc.
This is a horrible idea that doesn't make sense at all to me. I mean, what is the reason behind the dock icons being smaller? What purpose does it serve? Is there any logical explaination that I'm missing?
Anyway, if you know of any other launcher that allows normal size dock icons (other than Touchwiz, please) please post here.
yes you're right
dock apps must be larger than the other because they're used almost more than desktop apps
unfortunintly I don't know any other launcher with big icons
I've tried Go Launcher EX, but I hated the small dock icons. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus, is there a Launcher that:
1 Don't alter the ICS dock icon size, or that have an option to resize the dock icons?
2 That support swipe gesture in the dock? (Swipe upwards to open shortcut)
3 Where it is easy to swap icons?
Which Launcher can do this?
With ADW Launcher you can easily change icons and you can resize the dock icons in the settings. I'm not sure if the free version has dock gestures but it does have gesture support.

No? I've installed the latest Go Launcher EX and can not find that option, where is it?
The "Icon size" setting only changs the icon size of all icons...
changing icon size to large instead of a custom size seems to also change dock icon sizes in go launcher.
ADW seems to be the only launcher I've used that has the ability to tweak dock icon sizes and numbers properly.

However, Go Launcher latest updates did claim that resizing the dock was doable, so let's hope it's possible for Go Launcher soon.
i managed to make all the dock icons the same same by unchecking Icon Base (show/hide icon base) under pref -> visual styes -> icons

I went to preferences->visual->icons and changed the size to small, the icons were normal size (larger) then! I hope this helps!
How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the grid size without losing blink feed? I have heard that some custom roms may permit this change, does anyone have experience with a good stable rom that has that feature? I am currently running clean rom 2.5 and have been quite pleased with the features and stability but want to increase the grid size on my home screen.
Nova launcher
I'm using nova launcher the free edition and it allow you to change the grid size allowing you to put more icons on the page or dock. Also in nova you can create a shortcut icon when pressed will take you back to your sense launcher and I keep blinkfeed as home so it just goes directly to blinkfeed.
Hello guys, is there is an app for unrooted galaxy SIII, that enlarge the icons that already exists on the phone? I don't want an app to choose manually the icons, I need something to activate it then all of the icons are bigger, or the font, so bigger font or bigger icons, font is the most important.
Not sure about icons but is there not a setting to have large text in "accessibility" settings? There is on AOSP roms. Also magnification gestures.

Install nova launcher prime, you can scale icons with that +/- 25%
There are't any apps which makes the existing icons bigger however you can use third party launcher's like apex nova etc to make the icons bigger and if you don't want to loose touchWiz look you can download a touchWiz theme for these launchers and you are good to go.........................Here' the links for launcher and theme..
