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.

I have tried numerous launchers and have found it difficult to find any launchers that allow you to go above 72x72 resolution for icons. The only one that would was Go Launcher EX and that simply scaled them up to a barely noticeable 82x82.
Is there a launcher which allows you to load icons that are say 100x100 and that does not scale them?
Thank you
Anyone have any ideas?

works great on my Evo. thanks.
That's the best launcher I've ever had. Light, fast, smooth, and really nice. Thanks!
I've been using Holo for about a month now....was waffling between it and Zeam after going a long time on Go Launcher. I was looking for a way to simplify my desktop into one screen with folders that feature my most used apps and trying to get a memory use reduction out of my launcher. Zeam was doing the memory thing well, but the folders were absolutely bland and unappealing, not to mention they wouldn't close after selecting an app to use. Holo does all those things well, but my only gripe is I can't seem to keep it in memory. After using a memory hungry app on my phone for an extended amount of time, the launcher has to restart when going back home. I guess I should stop expecting "smartphone" performance out of my Milestone and realize it's a touchscreen phone that can do some smart things....eventually.

Does anyone know how to change icon in go launcher? or is it only available in the go launcher ex version?
what do you guys suggest on a great launcher that can customize the icons that doesnt eat up alot of battery and ram but still can give enough room for customizing the feel and look

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
Posted this on Rootz as well but I wanted to ask here.
My main wants are:
Ability to hide bottom dock and Notification bar and use gestures to bring them back. Would be nice to utilize all that wonderful screen landscape.
Use my ADW and LP icon packs if possible.
Easy to use shortcuts for moving between screens along with smooth transitions when doing so.
Long press icons to change icon image.
Hi-res display
Resizeable widgets
Keep in memory setting that works well and/or the ability to set custom wallpaper dimensions. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset my wallpapers with Wizardrii because LP got booted from memory and had ot restart.
Set non-scrolling wallpapers.
Do both Apex and Nova have all of these features? Guess I could consider ADW too. Is there one you would recommend over the other? Thanks in advance.
All the features that you want are there in apex dude.. Just try it out..
Icon packs I'm not very sure but definitely sure about the other features

I've used both Apex and Nova, and I guess it's just a personal preference as they at least seem to be quite similar. They're both based on the stock launcher in ICS / JB, and basically have the same features. Only differences I noticed were very specific, but feature-wise they're quite similar. You should just try them out.
I prefer Apex though, if you wondered.
Has someone developed a cloned or modified TouchWiz Home that is capable of using icon packs, gestures and other features seen on other launchers?
I want to revert to using the default launcher, because in terms of UX it's more efficient, for example the app drawer slide/reveal animation is less jarring, centred app page label and better icon spacing, Also I have noticed icons look sharper with more vivid colour (In Nova, even if I use the default icons they look de-saturated and less sharp no matter the size). More importantly though is the fast performance, the only launcher I've tried that is speedy is Nougat Launcher by N Dev Team, but it contains ads.

My Favorite Icons: Whicons together with Nova Launcher. It's not so colorfull eyecancered, only white and really beautiful done, best together with a space or night background image.

Hey.. I'm not sure about the swipe, gestures or any other features that you want..
But you can apply third party icon packs using [APP][4.1.2+] WizIconizer 1.08 Beta - TouchWiz UI Icon Changer
