Has anyone found a way to customize the TouchWiz launcher's layout? The apps/widgets are ery far apart, I could easily run 5x5. Also, is there a way to reorder the screens etc?

Nova Launcher can do that.

I like motoblur only because its fast but i want to change the icons. Is there a way to do this without downloading a launcher?
Several shortcut apps claim to do this. There are manual ways of changing icons too if you prefer that. I use ADW.
Hey there,
how can i use customized icons for my shortcuts with stock launcher?
I was used to do it with Better Cut on my phone, but it isnt available for the Iconia in the market.
I just want to changesome icons and dont want to install a different launcher.

The easyest way is to use Desktop VisualizeR. Install, than go to Add a Widget, Use the Size u wanne have, than u can get any app u want and any icon u wanna use.
Yip, thnaks for the hint, easy as cake =)
Folder Organizer and Desktop Visualizer where also suggested to me when I asked.
Although I don't use any of them. It would still be nice if there was a way to natively set custom icons.
I do use Circle Launcher and that lets me set a custom icon for the each widget and I have multiple instances of the widget (each with various shortcuts inside) so on that level it sates my need for custom icons.
Hey Guys,
I've been looking for information on making transparent icons for the stock jellybean launcher but haven't had any luck - all the tuts I've found have been for the 3rd party launchers.
Is it possible to change an icon to a transparent one on the stock launcher?
If so, how would I do this?
Thanks

I would like to know the same, or is there any launcher with a transparency option.
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 a launcher that allows widgets to not have margins? I want my widgets to be close together. I cant find a way to do it.
You have to use something like nova and choose like a 10x10 grid..that's the only way I think would work.

Im using nova and any grid size just doesn't work right. Say you have a 4x2 widget. Then you set Nova to 10x10. Now set the 4x2 widget. To make it look right the size changes to 10x3. Just doesnt work. Basically I want to put 3 widgets on my screen. one thats a 5x2, 5x3 and 5x3. So I would need a grid size of 8x5. But If I set it to that the widgets dont fit at all. Its because the widgets have to be re-sized so big to look right.
BUMP Until I get a answer
The only suggestion I could find for your question isn't free. Next Launcher allows you to freehand resize all widgets (meaning does not "snap to grid" resize) , even overlap. This is the lite version so you can try before you buy...

Lefty is exactly right. I've been using next launcher 3D and that's actually one of my favorite features that NO other launchers can accomplish (that I know of).
Some widgets just have funky dimensions, so it's nice to able to resize and place them literally anywhere on the screen. They can partially overlap as much or as little as you'd like.
This can also be done with apps...it looks messy, but you can turn off the grid completely and place the app icons wherever you want. You can even rotate the icons! And I won't even get into all the 3d features...I could go on forever. This is by far my favorite launcher and I've used quite a few.

The issue im having is this. No matter what launcher I use. Next 3D included. If I make the GRID Size 10 x 5 I should be able to have many widgets on my screen. So a 4x2 weather and a 4x3 Pulse and then a 3x4 Hangouts Widget and then a 2x2 photo. So I should just need a 4 x 9 grid right. Wrong because the grid is so big the a widget at 4x2 ends up being a 4x4 to view it all. I need a launcher that allows the widgets to show correctly at the default widget size. So I want a 10 x 5 grid size to actually hold more then 3 widgets. Nova Launcher is the same way. Just with Nova you can adjust the margins anymore then the 3 sizes included. With next you can make your own. But still I cant fit the 5 widgets on my screen that I want. Weather, Gmail, Hangout, Photo, Pulse. I want all those in there default widget sizes. I dont understand why making the grid size bigger makes the widgets bigger. In windows or Mac OSX when I make the rez bigger it doesnt make anything else bigger.
