Description
This Xposed module turns your Settings into columns instead of a list.
There's also a config app where you can change e.g. the text size. This is useful if your texts are too long and get cut off (due to differences in languages or screen size), please use it.
Tested on CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13.
Let me know if it works on other versions, too, and if there are any bugs.
Does not work with AOSP 6.0, probably 5.0/5.1 too.
Requirements
- Xposed Framework
- Android 5.0 (API 20) or above

Doesn't work for me on Nexus 5 with last AOSP 6.0.1

@BreckZeBoulay
Thank you for your feedback.
I will have a look at it in the next few days.
Are there any error messages in the Xposed log?

@BreckZeBoulay
Thank you.
It crashes because it couldn't find the layout file which is responsible for the font size. Apparently there were some changes in Marshmallow.
I pushed a new version that avoids the crash, but changing the font size is not possible at the moment (only if it's crashing).
I'll work out a solution in the next few days.

No change with the new version, log attached

@BreckZeBoulay
No crashes in log, that's expected.
Then it probably doesn't work for Marshmallow - for now.
I'm still on Lollipop but I'll flash Marshmallow in the next few days to find a solution. Will report back.

Not working on Samsung J5 android 5.1.1 (as i expected.)

@Huccha
Could you be a little more specific? What ROM are you using?
If you're using some heavily modified ROM like Samsung TouchWiz, it probably won't work.
It basically only works if your ROM / Settings uses the following value in Settings.apk\res\values\integers.xml:
Code:
<integer name="dashboard_num_columns">1</integer>
If changing this value doesn't have any effect, I can't do anything.

working good on cm12.1

Yesterday and just now I tested it on AOSP 6.0 but I can't get it to work.
There are still some bugs coming from Xposed itself due to e.g. SELinux, but despite that it should work.
The integer value "dashboard_num_columns" exists and although changing it manually in the Settings.apk does work, changing it via Xposed doesn't and I don't know why. There are no error messages, the code is being executed but it has no effect.
On Lollipop the following works:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.android.settings:integer/dashboard_num_columns", number);
On Marshmallow it doesn't.
The culprit is not the value itself but the replacement procedure. I tried it with different fields and it didn't work, too.
Maybe some Dev with Xposed MM experience can give me some insight.

An option to no columnize settings with toogles (Wifi & BT) would be dope!

---

On CyanogenMod 13 it works like a charm, see attached screenshot.
I tried for hours now to get it to work on AOSP 6.0 but I think it's Xposed related (probably due to SELinux strict). No matter what field I'm trying to replace, Xposed doesn't find it (NotFoundException). Maybe this will be fixed in v81 but for now it seems like this mod is CM only.

cool this module, work fine with my S5 4G+ in 12.1

---

great module,works and looks awesome on my Galaxy A5 with AICP rom (Android 6.0.1).

Not working on RR MM Bacon (OPO)
Changing the column number doesnt do anything.
Im guessing this is already mentioned (cm13 works, aosp doesnt work), but i really dont have any idea about cm/aosp/caf/etc
But if aicp works doesnt that indicate it works on aosp based roms? im confused but if it's a hassle to explain you dont need to answer me and just consider this a report. Thanks for your work!
