I recently changed my dpi settings to 160. Is there a way of changing the grid position for each screen to provide more real estate to place widgets, icons. Please note I would prefer to use the stock launcher and not a third party one like nova or apex.

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?
Hi Guys,
Can we change the settings to have 6x4 screens to have lengthy screen??
I do not want to port ROMs etc, is there any simple way out there!!!
Yeah, even 5x4 would be a neat accomplishment ... 6x4 would be great

No way to do it yet with default launcher,
but if you want ADW launcher or launcher pro (like mine), you can even achieve 4x7 with setting the lcd density to 180
there MUST be a way, default setting could be rendered I think which is 4x4.
Where its configured??
There is no way to modify the 4x4 on the default launcher. Use a custom launcher like the aforementioned LauncherPro or ADW Launcher EX.
I'm looking for a launcher which has a good implementation on retaining the icons and stuff when changing orientation. I've only tried the stock, LauncherPro, and Apex... None of them does what I really want when changing between landscape and portrait mode:
Shows the wallpaper in its entirety across multiple screens, possibly scrolling screens vertically in portrait.
Makes no change to layout of the icons when changing orientation, only re-orient them.
Can someone suggest a launcher that handles this well? Thanks.

Nova Launcher with Ultimate rotation control.

ssLauncher does that well. You can have a totally different set of icons and wallpapesr on each screen, each orientation. Save your theme. Change every icon picture, size, font... place anywhere (no grid), overlap... you name it, it does it.
Or Apex. No rotation issues at all. I set my homescreen grid to 8x7 for both portrait and landscape. Very nice.

I tried Nova on my G2 and one thing I noticed was that the font size is somewhat bigger than the LG launcher. It's frustrating because widgets don't display the same amount of information. is there any way to fix that?
Hello,
I've been using Nova Launcher for well over a year, but one thing missing for me is being able to control the fonts within the launcher more. There is no option to change the font size, which I find makes the fonts smaller than the system fonts and giving a not very fluid layout throughout the rom.
Can anyone recommend a similar launcher which has the option to change the font size and type?
It's a little frustrating when installing a launcher it also changes the font (often reducing the size) on the homescreen, while the system font in settings, dialer and contacts remain the same.
Anyone know where I'm coming from on this?
Thanks.
