One thing I like about cookie mods is that one can arrange the Widgets/shortcuts anywhere on the screen, is there any way to disable the snap grid on android? I already use adequate launcher and have set columns and rows, but would like to be able to arrange icons as I would wish, without system limitations.

Is there either a way to center a widget that is 4 spaces wide, or set the screen to be only that wide?
I don't wanna screw up the resolution or change the density, but I really want to center this thing.
Thanks guys.

You can use a different home screen such as launcher pro, or adw launcher that will allow you to change the number of columns or resize your widget to 5x4.
Otherwise there is no way with samsung home.

Try out Zeam Launcher it was developed by XDA.
LauncherPro works fine for me.
i use launcher pro with 4 width wide, but using 4x1 or 4x2 widget clock/weather still makes it not centered >.<
anybody knows about clock/weather widget that looks like sense and free that will fit nicely on launcher pro?
I can personally recommend lcd density changer (reqiures root) combined with launcher pro.
I've set the density setting to 180, and configured my launcher pro homescreen to have 6 colums and 10 rows. I looks great and it feels fantastic. Also it takes much better advantage of the 7" screen
edit: I see now that you don't want to "screw up the resolution". But with launcher pro, you can even adjust the size of most widgets. If you press and hold a widget like you are about to move it around, but lift your finger of the screen when the widget "pops out". You can drag the lower right corner that appears, and thereby strech or shrink as you please. Be aware that some widgets look wierd if you push the limit
Set home screen column width to 6, it will be centered then - does on my device no problem?
Is it possible to make the Icons bigger on the Home- and Menu-Screen.
The Icons are for human with handicap too small :-(

On the Home Screen you can use DesktopVisualizeR to add icons as big as you want (actually they are widgets, but works the same as icons). You can find it on Market.
Thanks, this was what i want
I use Go Launcher and it's got a setting that lets you custom resize all icons (and text size). Change the setting once and it automatically resizes all icons, including ones you add or move. You can make the icons very large, if that's your desire. Now if only I could get MARKET to work smoothly!
Is it possible to replicate homescreen? I mean I have set up one home screen with all my customized widgets , I want a way to copy all that on another homescreen?
you want 2 screens the same ????
I am using Minimalistic text widgets, I need it same on all screens. Its a pain to make it each time, so was wondering if there is way to copy them.
Whats the best way to go about changing Icon pictures for the default Icons located at bottom of home screen (dialer, email, messaging). Can this be done without installing/using another launcher? Thanks.
Hi:
Just bought this one to my wife. However, there is something that's intriguing me: the screen grid is 5x5 instead of the traditional 4x4. An this is causing a few "bugs" on the appearance of some widgets she uses (Beautiful widget 4x1 and Jorte 2x2), like the text has overlapped letters, or the numbers of the clock on the beautiful widget are outside their place.
Any one knows a easy way to get back to the 4x4 (which i hope will solve this) ?
Change the screen resolution in display settings or set a custom one in developers options.
You can also try using Lawnchair launcher
Tried change the settings on the display settings, but no success. It keeps always the 5x5.
As for the developers options, it does not accept any number i try...it just reverts to the number it's there (currently 360).
Weird cuz i have mine set to 500dp
Confirmed that using display settings DOES change the scale on Oreo (Stable, final) 8.0.0
