Hi, do you guys know a way to increase the icons size on the homescreen even further than what is possible? I've tried in the homescreen settings, tried home up module with a custom icons pack but still, I find the icons to be too small to my taste...
Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

If you are already using HomeUp, you can simply reduce the value there under: "Home Screen" - "Home Screen Grid/Apps Screen Grid" which will automatically make the icons larger or, if you want, smaller...
As an example, I use 7x7 for both HomeUp settings. So my symbols are kept rather small. If you decrease the value, the symbols get larger.
Greetings

Are there any large icon/dock themes with larger fonts out there that I can use without having to resort to editing the LCD Density via an app or editing the build.prop file?
I ask because my mother is considering getting a Nook Color, and her eyesight isn't the best plus I want to avoid her fat fingering the wrong icons
I don't want to modify LCD density because of sharpness loss.
Even a theme that has the icon size for application grid, status bar, and dock modded to be (significantly) larger would work great. I've tried ADW and Zeam but they don't offer the functionality I need.
In the newest update of ADW EX, you can set the size of the icons and text without having to change the density.
Desktop Visualizer lets you change the icon size of apps on your home screen. Not in the app drawer though.

Thanks, I downloaded it and like it, I wish it would let you edit the status bar + icons size too though.
LauncherPro doesn't have some feature that can do this that I can't find, does it?

To get larger fonts "in general" the option resides in the Spare Parts App, but it doesn't effect the size of the icons or home, menu, or search buttons.
So I bought ADW EX and it's exceptionally buggy on my Nook Color and on my HP TouchPad. However, I do really like how things look on the TouchPad with the large HDPI icons. Is there really no way to use those icons in a more stable launcher? I'd love to use 72x72 icons in VTL, GO, or LPP if possible, at least until ADW EX is more stable...

I have ADW.ex and yes, there are a few bugs but typically only with first launch. From a reboot or cold boot you have to relaunch adw and then it is smooth sailing. My biggest gripe is that you can't hide apps in the app drawer.

The size setting there only affects Google AOSP apps. It doesn't even affect Google's other apps.

1. I just downloaded Milocker. Looks like it's the one I've been looking for except that the themes in it don't fit my screen. :/ Is there a way around this?
2. Is there a way to edit the icon sizes on the homescreen? Also adjust its spacing (e.g. If I set the homescreen to 3x3, it sets the icons too far apart for my liking)
Thanks in advance!
1. Search Milocker for LDPI
2. Instructions vary as per your launcher.. but you can change the number of rows and columns on screen to bring them closer of move apart(I am not sure but you can't do this on touchwiz)
what is ldpi? i'm new

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?
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient
-Thanks

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.

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?
