Hi guys I'm very new to the kindle fire but I already love it.
I just rooted and installed adw launcher, market and all google apps. I was wondering if there is a way to make icons bigger in the home screen and app drawer. something like changing the dpi size in a phone...in adw launcher they look very small. thank you
In adw go to adw settings - ui settings - icons - new icons settings - icons size

I have been looking for a threads that may cover transparent icons in the app drawer as well as centering or stretch widgets. Is there a rooted hack for it. I have tried LauncherPro which does all of the above but slows down my tablet and for me is a bit buggy.
Try ADW launcher, it does that and it runs great on my Tab. I also use it on my SGS.

Thank you. ADW Launcher works great with all my widgets they are all centered now. All I have left is trying to find is a black Google widget.
Or Zeam Launcher, that is your other alternative. And this way, we listed all launchers with scrollable widget support .
So I use that popular LCD changer that most of you use, and set it to 200... or 190. BUT... no matter what it won't let me use the extra space to relocate and use more icons, on either the desktop or the apparently pages. There's enough room for lots more icons per page, but my Tab thinks there isn't and keeps snapping them back to where the original density would limit them to.
???
Is this a limitation of the OEM launcher system? Which reminds me... is there a way to replace the Samsung browser icon on the launcher (to the right of the Alps button) with, say, Dolphin or Firefox?
Think there's already a thread on this I think.
Anyway, changing the density will not change the layout of the home screen (lower dpi wont add an extra column) unless you manually change it with LP/ADW or whatever other home app you use.
And do you mean you want to change the shortcut? Longpress as you do with any other.

if you had used the LCD Density program you would know what he was talking about. thats an idea dont you think?
What he's saying is this:
LCD Density makes things smaller and on the desktop it appears to give more room for more icons however that room / space is not usable at all.
You can use launcherpro to make more icons on the launcher

Launcher pro replaces the OEM one... can't the OEM launcher be used to do what I want?
I don't think there is anyway to do that in the stock launcher.
You need to use either ADW launcher or launcher pro.
I recommend ADW.
Oh btw if all you want to do is have more icons on the launcher you need not use LCD density changer.

i use lcd density changer and also adw ex (paid for version of adw). density at 180 and have 10 icons per row and 10 per column... fits the screen perfect and is just right for me.

What bit of my post have you ignored? The middle bit?
That's what I said. Changing the density will not change the layout of the desktop. It wont give you more rows because that's not what it does. It makes the phone think the screen is larger thus makes everything smaller.

Having all of those icons and rows must be an editable option that comes with the paid version of ADW. I can't get more than 4 icons across and 4 down with free ADW and 180 lcd.

In the free version you should be able to change rows and columns under screen prefs in adw settings

Thanks, but the only options or any type of settings I see for the free version of ADW are the "Launcher Actions" when you long press the home screen (or other any of the adjoining screens). I'm sure you already know but these are just shortcuts for ADW actions. I suppose I will check out the paid version.

You press menu>more>ADW Settings then scroll to Desktop Rows/Columns.

Awesome. Thanks man. Something so simple yet I could not find it. Exactly what I wanted!

I flashed my Nexus S with the latest CM7 rom, I used this to replace the ADW launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957777&page=2 , it replaced the ADW launcher but now when i switch to Mattedblues theme it doesnt change the dock, the dock remains the same while the icons and status bar change. Does any one have a solution on how to change the dock to the Mattedblues dock?
Dudes anyone? I need help! My phone looks really weird when the notification icons and all other icons are blue but the dock icons are still green! Someone give me a solution
Why don't you install a launcher such as zeam, Adw or launcherpro. You'll thus be able to change the icons.....

Will the themes work with go launcher ex?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.
I am looking for a launcher that just displays a list of all the applications installed on the NC. I have tried all the usual suspects (LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam, Go Launcher etc) but they all go the desktop first and then you need to open the app drawer to access the shortcuts. I could add shortcuts to the desktop but it does not seem to be a good use of time when the shortcuts to all apps are already there.
It would be nice if the launcher had a dock of favorite apps but not necessary. It would be even nicer if press the Home (N) button in the launcher displayed a list of running programs.
In summary, the launcher should work like the Home screen on iOS.
Any suggestions? Be nice now ;-)
Thanks
Have you tried the MIUI roms yet? They are basically designed to look like the iPhone design. If your just wanting a different home replacement then I always liked the Zeam Launcher because you could add like 4-5 shortcuts to the dock bar...hopefully this helps..

Thanks for the suggestion
I don't really want to try a non-standard ROM at the moment. I did try some of the MIUI themes for ADW and other launchers but all the themes really do is change the icons. That is, the functionality of the launcher does not change. The default screen for the launcher is the desktop and you have to add shortcuts to the desktop.
I might try loading a MIUI ROM on a bootable SD card and see how that works.
Thanks again

I haven't tried it...possibly get a key remapper. I think one of the launchers has one for the home key...see if this will work...
I'm having a problem with ADW EX and multi live wallpaper. I've set up different wallpapers for each home screen but in ADW it shows the wallpaper for the center screen on all of the screens. If I go into the default honeycomb launcher it correctly shows the different wallpapers on each screen. It's clearly a problem with ADW. Is this a glitch or is there a setting I have to find and change?
Adw ex settings - general behavior- animation and effects - make sure check mark is checked on wallpaper scrolling. Looks real nice with multipicture and adw both set to cube.

Thanks a lot! That was the problem. I don't remember turning that off but I might have by accident at some point. I however have another problem. I just booted up my tab and all of the widgets in ADW say 'Problem loading widget' do I have to delete them all and recreate them?
edit: For anyone having that problem, you apparently can't set custom themes because they cause your SD card to not mount right away when you boot.
When you first boot up it takes widgets like desktop visualizer and some clock widgets a little longer to load. The tab has a startup process and they are the last to startup. Usually give your tab a minute for them to load and your good to go. You will only see this after booting up, not when waking from sleep.
