I have no idea how to develop android apps or anything like that, I do have a few questions or ideas on how to do this though.
Basically what I am asking is, is it possible to increase the size on an icon on the home screen, whether its using adw.launcher, launcher pro, or the stock launcher?
I know you can increase the size of widgets on adw.launcher but I want the icons.
Better cut lets you change the icon, but not the size. I think I read that standard icons on android phones are 48x48.
Is their anyway to possibly explore the .apk and rechange the icon dimensions or image size, and resign it and then install it?
Or is their a program available that lets you stretch icons on the homescreen.
I have tried better cut, and have icons that are higher resolutions, and haven't had any luck. Also i checked the market and their are no icon packs or anything similar to the ones I want
Could someone explain if this is possible please? thanks.
Anyone have a suggestion?
desktop visualizer---change size
Folder organizer---change icon
Sent from my blah blah blah
Thank you so much.
the developer who make more icons also makes a widget that lets you have large icons..dont remember the name but if you look for moreicons in the market you should be able to find this app

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...
Hello,
Can anyone please tell me how to change the program icon size from the launcher tab (not the background squares, but the actual icon)?
I hate some of the stock icons for my programs / scripts, so I replaced them with different icons using the registry, but for some reason it shrinks them down to something like 32x32 or 64x64, the default size everyone has. My plan is to get rid of the background box altogether and go with like a 128x128 icon if possible.
I am not sure if there is a registry setting I am missing or if you have to hex edit a manilla file. I am open to either.
Thanks,
Josh
Not possible...
I may be wrong, because whenever anyone is explaining why something can't be done, they're usually interupted by the person doing it! I think you'll find the image size is hard-coded into Manila. Whatever size you make the image file, it will always be stretched to 'fill' the picture box on the launcher tab
As above really -
Got a ton of icons on my storage card, but I have no idea how I can change the icons I'm currently using to the ones on the storage card. Or is it a lot more difficult than it sounds?

It IS possible, but I'll let one of the more experienced people here tell you exactly how (I'm not well-versed on the process.....yet).
But, in the meantime, would you be willing to zip up your icon collection and sharing it? I'm always looking for new icons to use...I can already replace them on the slider bar, next thing to learn is the program ones
Icons for Windows Mobile phone
Of course! I can't remember where I got them all - so I'm hoping the creators are happy for me to share them out.
536 icons in total (although there are a few duplicates - I mean 2 different icons for the same program).
Enjoy!
The question of how easy it is depends on which OS you're running... if it's 6.5 I recommend using JWMD's Icon Changer, but many recommend Showaco's reSTART. The 'how to' instructions for each app can be found in that thread I just linked.
If it's 6.1 it's more cumbersome as you have to edit the link. I don't bother with it and instead customize whatever shell I'm using at the time.
You're welcome to grab any of my folder icons listed in my sig
Thanks for the links!
Do these same programs change the icons on the home tab? I like the icons in my start menu, but the icons on the home tab are different for the same programs.
I love the EVO and android's OS, but it supposed to be open, and very customizable?
I know their is some app in the market that makes apps get alot bigger and turn them into widgets, but.
Is their an app that allows the users to customize the size on the homescreen the app icon is. I would really want that. And pay for it.
I am rooted btw
Anybody???
RE iCONS
dude its Android there is always a free Alternative i Use FolderOrganizer, Allows you to customize Icons, remove labels from Icon packs or even if you create your own on photoshop or any photo editor even photos you took on your camera, Any image Jpeg or Png would work check different sizes
search "Bigger Icons Widget" in the market.
I've tried Better Cut aswell as some of the launchers. I don't really want to use a launcher and Better Cut and "Folder" something didn't work for me.
Better Cut and the other "Icon" apps didn't seem to work. I could change the icon png in the tool and it would look okay, but they would either not show up on my home screen, or would show up with no changes to them. ie, stock icon image or changing the name would not work. Wonder if this is a glacier/sense thing?
I'm thinking about rooting and changing things at the OS level.
I want to change the icons to custom .png's and remove the text under their icons on the home screen.
Any suggestions?
