Can someone post there DPI settings so you could get dual panel settings in settings? I can't figure out what they are
Thank you for your time
Here is what I use...both on email and settings.

I use that setting on email, settings, Nova settings, and contacts. Its also pretty cool using it on calendar ... But you only see the effect when you select an individual day and look at it.

How do you access Nova settings? All I see listed on mine is Nova Launcher, and when I made the adjustments there, it resized my screens.

Has anybody found a way to replace the app drawer for a rooted user? I dislike the screen based grid and would rather have a scrolling grid.

Get Go launcher EX from Market it is free it have 5-7 types ( you can change theme also I use Honeycomb theme with it)
In the Market, type in 'launcher', there are loads of replacements which have loads of settings etc.
I recommend launcher pro, or launcher7.
Launcher7 is really sexy
Thanks for the suggestions, but these change the GUI more than I want. I only want an app drawer replacement.

In that case I'd go with 'ravitejas' suggestion of Go Launcher. It looks similar to touchwiz and you can change the app draw to scrolling type. It just takes a bit of messing about with lots of settings...
Or if you'd like an actual list of apps you can press menu when you're in the app drawer and select list view...

Unfortunately, my Galaxy S II does not have the list view for some reason. That would have been a decent solution. Oh well.. can't make the phone the same in every market it seems.
What about solutions that work with rooting? I did root the phone awhile back, hoping that I could use this to my advantage. So far, no real use.
Weird that yours doesn't have a list view option...
Can't help you beyond stock rom I'm afraid, haven't rooted...haven't seen any real need to...

The problem is you want to replace part of the launcher program but not the whole thing. Root or not it's hard to replace "half a program". Someone could probably, theoretically at least, hack the program apart and replace it that way but that's a lot of effort.
Are you sure you don't have list view? Open the app menu and hit menu
Pick a launcher, i recommend launcher pro or ADW EX (far better than standard ADW launcher)

Hi guys,
I just made the move from a galaxy nexus to a galaxy note.
One of the things i've always been able to do on any of my previous android phones was to have a scroll-able wallpaper.
It seems the stock launcher does not have scrolling? I have also tried 3rd part launchers and they scroll, but its a zoomed in picture.
Is this some side effect of the really large resolution?
I've tried a couple of market apps to set wallpapers and they all do the same thing.
If I go back to the stock launcher then back to a third part launcher the image is fine, but not scroll-able.
Maybe this is because the stock launcher does not scroll, so the image in the 3rd party launchers is trying to scroll the smaller image?
There has to be some sort of edit that can make the wallpaper the correct wide size (1280x2400?) vs just 1280x800
±1 same unsolved issue

launcher pro
1000% better.. and lag free
I asked this question before and someone referred me to wallpaper wizardrii. Won't work with factory wallpaper and won't scroll either. Download an HD wallpaper app like picspeed wallpapers, favorite (not save) any of the images you want to use later, then exit. Open wallpaper wizzardrii, click top right button, and and scroll down to "Favorite Picspeed Wallpapers". Choose the pic and play with the settings until it looks right on your screen. I shrink the photo all the way down, then use stretch landscape and it looks pretty damn good.
Launcher pro was not the answer for me.
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market. Simple, small, non-intrusive, and sizes them perfectly.

that's the key (when using a different launcher) Use wallpaper wizardrii with the stretch or crop exact setting, and scroll checked.
I still have not found a way to make it scroll on the TW launcher.
I actually prefer mine not to scroll lol
for launcher pro you have to go into the settings and uncheck the no scroll option

Nice. That seemed to work good. Now if the OS can get the scroll function ebnabled. Though it seems ICS might be on the horizon, so this will all probably be fixed in ICS I would hope...
For scrolling wallpapers the only launcher I have found that works is ashell.It is a pretty good little launcher. It runs pretty light and has some good custom options and transitions. Not gonna blow you away like TSF or SPB launchers, but it also is not 20 bucks

I had this issues with GO Launcher EX. I figured out that in the launcher's Preferences --> Visual Settings --> Backgrounds --> Wallpaper mode : select "Vertical screen" mode instead of "Default mode".
Hey
I am using ADW EX with cm9. Everything is great but one thing is bothering me and I have not been able to find a solution. In landscape mode on the top of the screen is a bar with a menu button on the right. This just takes up space as I have a menu button on the bottom. Anyone know where I can go to remove this? I will attach a photo
Thanks!
Hmm ... I used to use ADW EX with CM9 and I don't recall that. Perhaps try turning off the persistent search (I think it's in CM settings).
Thanks will give that a try
Was not sure if it was a cm9 setting or something with ics's version of adw ex
Looks like that didn't fix it
The cm settings only change the cm launcher which is trebuchet, I am using adw ex.
I'll try installing ADW EX again tonight and giving it a try.

I'm not sure what that is. I don't see an option to remove it, and I don't really see any reference to it in the change notice. He has added some "unique" features in the past that he later gives options to disable (e.g. the "one dock to rule them all"), and I do see a couple of comments in the reviews about it. Perhaps there will be more functionality (and an option to disable) in a future update.
Hey thanks a ton for atleast helping me understand what's going on
The status bars appear to be locked in cm9, apart from removing the search setting and clock details. I haven't been able to get the bottom status bar to appear/disappear with an up or down swipe trying several launchers. Have to wait for an update or go searching for the status bar details in the programming. Not to fussed at the moment, just waiting eagerly for 3.0 kernel to get integrated.
Its specific to adw.
I've been using adw ex on my Xoom through Honeycomb roms and ICS roms and they've always been there. Its a bit redundant but..oh well.
Thanks..hopefully ads devs address this by giving us an option to shut it off
I wouldn't count on it. The app was last updated December 7th.
Hopefully apex or nova launcher will enable docks for tablets soon instead. The dock is the only reason I still use ads ex.

I use it because it let's me create icons that are shortcuts to each home screen. Those I can then edit with simple text app. Do you know of any other launchers that do this

Go to adw settings, UI Settings, Screen Preferences, Show desktop Indicator. Uncheck Show Desktop Indicator and it will disappear. If left on you can select what is shown and where. I leave mine off as I know which screen I am on.
Good Luck!
That's not the right thing. He's talking about the empty space with the menu button in it.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it looks as if show desktop indicator was already unchecked =/
Even though ive changed to the google now launcher, a random selection of my app icons are still surrounded by white boxed edges. They look ugly. Is there anyway to fix this? You can see it on the chrome icon and play store icon.

Install Nova launcher and select kit kat or JB as the default icons after you activate it. Then go back into Nova settings and choose Google now launcher as your default launcher. After that the icons will stay the ones you choose. Or at least it works for me.

Well it didnt seem to have any effect even after reboot. I'm just going to use Nova. The icons look perfect on it and google now works anyway. I dont really need its launcher. Thanks.

I got my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday and opened it up today and a few things initially that are driving me crazy. I cant change the app drawer to 4x5 or 5x5 or the home screen. I found how but the options are not there. Also, how do I get rid of the massive clock on the lock screen to show a normal clock?
Hi @GrandMstrBud
You can change to 5x5 home app grid by
long pressing the screen,
select 'Wallpaper and Style',
scroll down and select App Grid - to select your choice
Just to confirm I have the Pixel 6 (non pro)

Sorry - that is weird...I just assumed 6 and 6 Pro would have the same basic features...
If you transferred your stuff from another phone it may have bugged out and need to clear cache/data to fix the problem.

The only fix for this for now is to have a persistent notification running. That will reduce the clock size and move the clock to the upper left corner. I use Today Weather for that. The Persistent Notifications app works too.
Hopefully Google will add the option to resize the lockscreen clock in a future update. I hate it too.

Apparently there are some new Tasker projects that tackle this "issue". You can read more about it here: https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-can-help-you-change-the-size-of-android-12s-aod-clock/

Myself and my uncle had the same issues with our P6P. The option to change the grid didnt show up. We discovered that for some reason Nova launcher was messing with this option. Deleting Nova from the phone and rebooting and this option should appear. Not sure why this is happening with Nova installed.

Strange, I do have the option. It's not just that you didn't scroll down?
When I got the Pixel 6, that option wasn't there either. I checked again the next day and only then did I find it. I think I started the device once in between.
Edit:
As mentioned before: I had Nova installed on an other device, which was transferred to Pixel 6. Maybe I fixed it with deleting Nova.
Maybe I got it after the november update was installed.
I don't have/cannot find the NFC quick settings switch....
