Hi @ThemerSupport
The new app drawer is much nicer and I see that you have now made the home screen widgets stay in place when entering the app drawer instead of them all moving to the Center.
One Chang I would like to see and that the ability to Chang the color of the tabs bar in the app drawer.
Thanks
All the best

I can't use Themer yet because I use custom DPI on my SGS3, When I use stock DPI everything is normal, but when I change it everything is a mess, and yes I know that I can work my way around, making the widgets and texts bigger and moving them around, but it would be wonderful if there was a scaling future depending on the resolution and the DPI.

Good suggestion! Now that we have a new app drawer, continuous improvements will be made on the drawer

The problem lies in when Themer is installed on your phone, it looks at the device name and sets the theme sizes accordingly. Now when custom DPI settings are added, it gets confused. That doesn't it custom DPI support won't be implemented, it'll just take some time

Thanks for the response!
Wouldn't be better if instead of the device name, the app was looking for the DPI? That way it wouldn't matter what the device is, the would work anyway.

Hi all,
I'm sure all of you are flashing CM7 stable builds on your Atrix rite now and ADW Launcher is default in the ROMs.
I know our Atrix has a larger resolution (960x540) than most phones, so ADW's AB icons (the 5 icons in the dock bar) looks pretty small on screen, even though I set the size of AB icons to maximum 10. Anyone knows how to set it bigger than 10 in settings so that it would look nicer on our Atrix??? thanks in advance
Just adjust the DPI settings in build.prop. It will make Market act a little funny with some programs not being able to be downloaded or paid for, but you can adjust everything as big or small as you want. If you need Market, just reset the settings to 240 and yer good to go. I'm sure there are other alternatives but that's what I do cause i have 99% of my programs backed up with Anttek Appmanager, which is free AND turns anything you download and install into an installable .apk for a later date. I know, smexy. Kinda like TiBu except free.
Wouldnt that compromise the screen resolution and would make it all blurry since i basically fatten every thing up???

Yes, so I'd avoid that. If adw lets you use custom icons, you could always manually resize them on your computer. I use irfanview to edit custom icons that I use with launcherpro. 96x96 pixels is the average size. Try something larger.
unfortunately, i don't think ADW support custom icons, unless you install like a whole new theme with preinstall icon set in theme.....

*cough* launcher pro *cough*
ADW does support custom icons, just hold down on the icon and then hit edit.
also, you can get an app called OldMarket that allows you to swap between the old market which allows you to download any app, despite of your LCD Density (i have mine set to 180, high resolution FTW - phone has never looked any better)

Unfortunately the search option seems to be missing and Google isnt being too helpful.
I'm curious if first its possible to change the DPI on the i9300 and if so if there are any recommended settings.
Main reason I want to do this is I find everything is too small. I know this is due to the HD screen but playing angry birds and other stuff is hard on the eyes.
I figure changing the DPI will make it bigger and easier on the eyes
This is the first thread I read where someone wants to increase the dpi. Usually people want to lower it. Lol
If you are rooted try the app LCD density from the market. It allows you to play with the dpi and if you don't have it checked to stay after a reboot it will go back to stock dpi after a reboot. This is good for if you are trying different dpis.

Thanks the app works but multiple apps start crashing when I up any amount. I started at 400 (fro default 320) and went down to 330 and same thing
You could try the Paranoidandroid Rom in the development section. It's fabulous in it's versatility, specially on this device because of it's size. It allows you to independently set the dpi and ui framework for the entire device including a per app list. So for example you could have all system apps set to display in tablet mode and all user downloaded apps set to their default phone ui & dpi or any combination in between.
You can also set framework and system DPI (statusbar, toast messages, etc.) the DPI on the stock rom is way to big in my opinion and I have old eyes. Most of the native Google Apps have a tablet display and the render dual pane and great on the S3.
Give it a try, I've messed around with the 3rd party apps and it's a pain compared to using Paranoid. Zero dpi related issues and makes the phone more functional in my opinion with the option of utilizing more screen real estate with tablet UI and DPI tweaking to your liking.

Thanks ill give it a try
I'm using an i9000.
As you know the native res for it is 800X480 with 320dpi.
However I switched a while back to slimbeam which defaults to 182dpi. I since got used to that and can't go back to the way thing were so bigger before.
Themer identifies the device as 800X480 and all themes are installed accordingly. So almost all widgets a shifted left and up.
Is there a way to make Themer use a different resolution then the default for the device?

I haven't tried this for Themer, but you could try the Apps Settings app from Xposed framework, and set 320dpi for Themer from this app, maybe it will work.
Sorry but I don't get what your suggesting...
Are you saying I should use Themer on 320dpi while all the rest of my device uses 182dpi?
If so that's not what I'm asking. I want Themer on the higher res. It looks much better.
It's just that the widgets are off their place. Manually moving them takes a long time and the smallest mistake forces me to start over.
So I'm looking to "fool" Themer into thinking I have a higher res device.
Same situation here, maybe with xposed settings, set themer on 182dpi? Dunno, will try later when I'm at home...

Themer is designed to work with the stock DPI of your device. So any altered value might result in Themer not working

Hey guys I don't use themer for this reason alone. I've got a note 3, and having 1"x1" icons is a waste of space and looks dumb, so I run a different DPI. Where does themer draw it's DPI from? Device name from build.prop or DPI lines from build.prop?
I just got my Verizon HTC One Max rooted and am going to change the DPI. I do not know a lot about calculating the best DPI for my screen. What settings would you guys recommend to give me more screen real estate.
You going to use something like Xposed to change the dpi? I haven't looked to see if the module there that does change dpi works with the One Max. I would definitely not recommend just trying out values as you could end up with a phone you will have to fix by pushing a build.prop (on the easy side) or recover with an ruu (if you are sprint) or some other way if any other version (on the more painful side).
I used texdroider_dpi from the app store and started small. I changed from 480 to 420 and it looks great but one problem. The launcher does not fill the screen now. I think some other launcher would work well but i want to stay stock so I changed it back.

i did try doing it with the app settings module via Xposed. This helped me to acheive per App DPI and few more features like font scaling and setting / resolution/ fullscreen/orientation and permission control.
Don't have the stock launcher on my phone.. i am willing to see what happens on 420. Do you have some screen shots ? Any idea which device uses DPI of 420?

Not sure what uses 420. I just tried it. Here are some screens of some apps and such running it. As you can see only the launcher seems to be affected.

ok looks cool, i will try it out!
What launcher are you using? I wanted to stay stock but the widget sizes are pissing me off. Not sure why the just threw a bunch of 4Xx widgets in here when the screen is 5 wide. I used apex launcher in the past. Any other good ones out there?

I change the whole screen dpi from ROM Toolbox > performance > build.prop Editor > ro.sf.lcd_density to 360 dpi. But sense is not going to stretch full screen even the all other apps are fully work. How can i also change sense dpi?

After using Nova Launcher forever, I decided to run the 9+ stock for a while and recreated my screens. However, the icons are gigantic. Is there a setting I am missing to change the icon size? It seems there is a limit as to what I can modify on the stock home.

Are you sure there's a setting for smaller icons? You can adjust screen resolution and grid spacing. Neither of those options impact actual icon size. I don't think I've stumbled across a setting for icon sizes aside from maybe assistive super sizing.

Yup. I've yet to find a setting that will change the icon size on the native "TouchWiz" launcher. Maybe they get a little smaller when you have the screen grid at the highest setting (5x6), but this has no impact on the home screen dock, which is where my icons and folder live.

Dont mind the other guy. I know what u r talking about and is fair question to ask for most noob new to touchwiz.
Unlike nova which u can minimize icon size. U cant do this in touchwiz. There are other way but are limited
Changin grid to 5x6 home screen or/and change ur dpi. If u go to developer mode. The highest dpi for touchwiz 456 before it breaks. asuming you have wqhd+ resolution. If u go any higher touchwiz icon just minimize to small. Also the samsung keyboard breaks.
Try using 5x6, dpi to 456 and see if that small enough for u, if not then u would have to use another launcher.
