This glitch only started happening recently.
I use a Note 3, so I like to make use of the screen space.
So I have my App Drawer set to 8 columns and small icons.
It had been like this ever since the column adjustment option has been available.
Recently, however, it seems that some apps with really long names break the alloted 2-3 lines for app text, and it actually pushes icons askew from their rows as I scroll.
Furthermore, if I scroll down and up repeatedly, it will break the top bound of the drawer, and I can scroll all the icons off the bottom of the screen and can't get them back until I close the drawer with the back or home key.
This doesn't really cause me any inconvenience, but it's something that shouldn't happen. =P

Hi everyone,
Anyone else think the icons on the screen are too far apart?
Do any of the ROMs/MODs address this problem/issue?
Use LauncherPro, you can set how many apps/icons you have by the column and by the row. I think ADW does this as well..
Edit: I have mine set to 8 rows & 5 columns, no labels.

Move icons closer together!
Seriously...........I use ADW EX............have columns set to 5 and rows set to 7. You can also scale your icons and icon text with ADW.
Image below will illustrate the distance between icons. I have found if I tighten up the grid anymore, especially in columns, they get too close together.

Sick wallpaper! Will you share?
use Go Launcher EX, it's free and has most of the features of LP+ (widget resizing being the biggest)
Regina Launcher also does the trick, plus it has a nice 3D look

Oops, wrong topic.
Hope this is in the correct location. Im trying to find a way to have i guess a minimalist home screen. I just want to have whatever apps on my homescreen to have no icons just the label. But i want the apps in the draw to still have the icons. Not sure if i explained that too well. I had i believe ADW launcher with a minimalist theme. But it also took away the icons in the draw. Which i guess wasnt all that bad but it didnt change all of them. Some had just the label and others still had the icon so it was a mess.
Does anyone know a way i can have just the apps on my homescreen just show the label and no icon? Or
Manually change whatever icons in the draw didnt change with that minimalist theme?

You are missing something.
1. Add widget
2. Widget option
3. Predefined Widget (select custom)
4. Custom Layout
5. Add > Misc > Static Text > Text Here (app name in your case)
6. Go back
7. Start Another Activity or a Shortcut
Then your done, just repeat till you have everything you want.
Its really customizable so you can have the text in almost any way you want, explore it some more.
Simple text from the market. You must be using an alternate launcher other in than stock. You can make text only jpegs and assign them to use as an icon. The apps will look normal still in your app drawer.
See my dock icons in the picture below. Is this what you want?

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.
ALL CREDIT FOR APLICATIONS MUST BE SHOWN TO THE DEVELOPERS !
I opened a topic for those who want to use Desktop VisualizeR.
DVRImageSlicer.
I'll explain how i made my screen.

Have a launcher that enables you to:
-Divides the screen into as many parts.
-To hide statusbar.
-To hide dock.
I use ADWLauncherEX
The first to be have saved icons you use.
( WP7 icons )
Download from PlayStore:
-Desktop VisualizeR
-DVRSizeConfigTool
-DVRImageCrop
-DVRImageSlicer
In launcher settings set the number of columns and rows
The selected widget DVRSizeConfigTool
Click on it and set (10x10)
After setting top left and bottom right of the screen, eliminate widget.
The selected widget Desktop VisualizeR
Selected 1x4 and change 1x6
And so continue with all other
Select screen widget
Touch select icon
Touch Add-ons
Touch DVRImageSlicer
Eliminate white frame
Touch select image
Touch Screen Size Images
Touch first button in left parts (telephone) and select Screen Size Crop.
Select image and save.
Select yes ( Last Image? )
Touch image
Select action and touch none
And so continue with all other
For selection touch Use Last Image
You want eliminate widgets for "efect".
For the five icons use DVRImageCrop (not frame).
I HOPE TO BE HELPFUL!
SORRY FOR ENGLISH!

Hi everyone..
I'm looking for an app, widget or anything you can think of, style appsi, sidecontrol or any other quick launch app, that can be activated through a shortcut or any other way beside gesture... From my experience both of these apps are the most usefull and efficient apps of there kind. You can add favorite app, contacts, toggels or practikly anything you would like. The thing is that for me personally, being able to activate them only via gesture is quite annoying. I find myself accidently triggering it, or facing bugs. Appsi hasn't released anything for a while, so I guess that the project is over. And sidecontrol has bugs and doesn't work well on my lg g3. Does anybody know something else like theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, and of course for your help....
You can try SwipePad app.

Sounds simplistic, but why not just put your apps, shortcuts, etc in a folder?

Swipe pad is launched by a gesture, and is rather limited than appsi or sidecontrol...

Because that to access everything you need to go the home screen. I'm looking for something you can access these features from anywhere..
The home screen is just one big menu that has hot key access via the center of the navbar.
I can access it from anywhere by hitting the home key. I can return to any app I've started via the recents key.
Your view of how your menu should work is the same as this. In your app you hotkey access from anywhere. So do I. You would have categories to establish multiple menu levels. So do I. You need to return to the app you were in. So do I.
Mine is just reinventing what we already have. Yours requires additional code and system resources. I'm using mine and you're still looking.
Point taken...
