Hi, I just upgraded my dell streak to streakdroid 1.8.1 today. Took me quite a while but it was worth it. When I added shortcuts to the desktop, it looks slight ridiculous. The shortcuts looks really far apart from each other. Is there any way of changing it? thx.
If you want to change the size of the icons you can chge the LCD density. If you want he icons closer together try using launcher pro or adw launcher and adding more rows and columnists to the homescreens. I run mine with 8 rows and 7 columns using Adw launcher.
Dell Streak powered by Streakdroid 1.8.1
Also try out desktop visualizer if you want to make shortcuts that take up more than one space

I am looking for an app that lets me customise icons, no matter which launcher is used like adw or launcher pro.
Any directions ?

adw and launcherpro have it built in, you can also use desktop visualizer (easiest) or folder orgenizer

yes for your homescreen, (and ONLY in dock), but I'm looking for a way to customize the icons everywhere (also in menu list and when adding a program to my homescreen, not in the dock)
I was messing around with the homescreen settings on luncher pro and I changed the number of columns and number of rows, so now my Icons and clock widgets are all F'ed up (not lining up). Anyone one knows what the default settings?
Not sure on exact default, but I believe 4 on columns and 5 on rows.
I'm pretty sure its 4 row 4 column pure default. Most people around here use the above stated 4x5 though that have launcher pro plus (To resize widgets)
I have pro and when I re size widgets, the widgets don't change size, just the surface area the widget parameters take up. I have tried on the weather channel wide widget, and the analog clock widget.
Is that normal?
Default is 4x4 but I find that 4 columns by 5 rows works really well in both portrait and landscape.
Tip: once you get it back to normal, make a backup copy through the settings menu, then fool with it to your hearts content and go back whenever you want!
Thanks boys for the replies. Its 4x4. Great F'ing app BTW.

Most widgets will just do that when you resize, but some widgets (such as the picture frame) will actually resize the entire widget instead of just the space that it takes up.
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?
i dont like the black label behind the icons on the homescreen of dell streak..i have a 2.2 android version and i want these black bar icons removed on it..please help me
get a different launcher like ADW or LauncherPro, and you can hide the labels...
With ADW, you can also lock the screen in portrait...
If Dell added the icons borders lke how HTC did their espresso roms for T-Mo, you should be able to just pull framework-res.apk, edit the image files n push it back
or as tmotytn mentioned, use a dif launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro.
Anyone know of a simple Android app that reducing the icon spacing on the desktop? I don't need any fancy desktop enhancements I would just like to control the grid size.
Thanks!
i don't think there is any way to control that with the stock launcher. If you have root, you may be able to change LCD density. Otherwise, try ADW or launcher pro.
