If you want more space on your sreen you can set the default DPI (480)to 320DPI to make the UI smaller.

I tried 240 but you will get errors.
And 320 works good for me.
Looks nice, but damn it is smaller then my Note 2 @ 240dpi haha
Can nova fill the screen with icons? 5x6 grid or something

Haha yes, before my mate 7 I had a note 2 @ 240dpi and it its smaller but I think I won't change back to 480 because you have a lot more space.

I have the feeling the mate 7 have more perfomance compared with the note 2 even they have both 2gb of ram.
I bought the mate 7 because of the big screen and the very large battery, my mate 7 works 2 times longer on a charge than my note 2 even with a bigger full hd screen.
For a note 4 you pay alot more but for the mate 7 you get relative good specifcations for a very good price this with the points above is why I choose for the mate 7.
wrong DPI
I entered 600 (did that before I read this post) and it makes all bigger instead of smaller. a bit stupid.
the problem is that the lock application does not support 600dpi so I cant change the DPI back and cant use the phone
Does anyone know how to fix this (except of factory reset)?
I cant get ADB to work because I cant accept the connection on my phone (because it is locked and the lockscreen app is not compatible with 600DPI)
also when i launch CWM it shows "device ........ offline" when I try to connect trough ADB
I used the app Texdroider DPI
it says it can be restored by moving
system/build.prop to:
data/data/com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi/files/backup/build.prop

i hope this helps. go to play store on a PC, search for Nova launcher and any dpi changer app, select and install install them on this device. it should automatically download to your device.
. then turn od the phone, pull down the notification bar like you would do normally. ignore the constant message saying huawei launcher failed. from the notification bar, go into shortcuts, select settings,
when in setting, scroll down to managed apps,, select it.
at the bottom of the screen just before the navigation bar, select default app settings
select launcher, and select Nova launcher.
now to change your dpi back, once nova launcher comes up, look in the app drawer and select the dpi changer you downloaded from the play store via your PC, set the dpi to 480. and then reboot. everything should be back to normal.
**please note that my device is rooted. i havent tried this on a non-rooted device but i believe this should work on a non rooted device as well.**
please do lt me know how you get on. best of luck

The density was changed to 320dpi. Huawei launcher have many issues whit this denisty. But Nova launcher have problems only with huawei's widgets. Othe functions work good. Applications work good too. Recent aplications menu is in top left corner with only 4 miniutures. Buttons Home Recent and Back shifted to left. There are no problem for me. Looks much bette than 480dp . I liked it.
Anyway to change dpi without root?

Why you are afraid of rooting? Believe me there are so many people, me included, who will root their devices before doing anything else.
I didn't see anything wrong in rooting contrary to common belief. Once you are rooted, you can do anything with your device.

I didn't change the dpi. It is quiet okay for me. You will get accustomed to a bigger screen. Perhaps those who don't like the bigger icons, are using big screens for the first time. You can use another launcher, like I am using apex launcher. The icons are smaller and crisp.

Use App Settings instead of changing the dpi of the complete system
This allows you to change the DPI for each app so you still have big (centered) nav buttons, but you are able to scale certain apps.

Sorry I was not clear but "app settings" is an module that you can install by Xposed
this module/app can change the DPI for individual apps instead of that everysthing is small including your softkeys that will shift to the left as well.
this means that you can keep e.g. the current DPI for the launcher, status bar, settings menu etc but change the dpi of specific apps like facebook, dailer, browser.
this also means that your soft keys stay nicely centered
Icons look bad after changinfg dpi
Hey Guys,
I've changed my MAte 7's density to DPI 400 and DPI 420, and in both cases some of the icons crash (Hangeout, Candy Crush etc.) they become veeery small on a big green icon- squere background, changing the launcher to Nova, Google Now doesn't help.
Any ideas?
I have no root, I changed density with "adb shell wm density ***".
Best regards, Jack

Hello everyone!
We have developed a new launcher once again! This is not the standard launcher that everyone makes. This is a Honeycomb Launcher. This launcher basically clones Android 3.0 Honeycomb as best as possible! Although this launcher is new, it clones Android 3.0 very well. Every update will bring more resemblance to0!
Anyways, the launcher is available on the Android Market now. All you have to do is search for Honeycomb Launcher. We have a BETA version which we run all of our tests on and a Donate version which is more stable and keeps our development going!
Honeycomb Launcher has many features that are in Android 3.0 and which are not in other launchers such as quick menus and much more. But one of the main features of this launcher is the girds for icons and widgets. The Portrait grid is a 10x10 and the landscape grid is 10x8. Which this means is the size and spots available for icons. The large grid-views will allow for you to place your icons and widgets in almost any place you want!
Screen shots are below!

really neato!
Just one thing: Whenever I want to move anything (either it be from the homescreens or from the app drawer)it lags a lot for like 3 seconds.
Also, sometimes when dragging from the AppDrawer it FCes.
HTC Wildifire
Stock 2.2.1
EDIT: Also, whenever I try to tick any of the settings in the Customise Honeycomb menu, I get FCed.
Ya we are fixing that! It is because of the grid size : (
but it is easy to fix. All you have to do is drag a widget on the screen and a few icons. Once you put a few icons and what not on the screen it speeds up quite a bit!! It is really weird. Maybe because when there is not a lot on the screen it has a lot to move over to get to a designated spot.
But dont worry, we will fix it : )
Thank you for that info
I will keep track if this topic/launcher since it obviously has potential
Thank you!
If anyone has any requests or want anything to be added let us know and we will add it in future updates!
Well, for one I'd like to see it be fully supported in QVGA.
When in portrait a part of the screen is missing, to be more precise the "back" button part of the screen.

There's nothing which make a user to donate for it..... do check above problems.... n add something pretty impressive to its UI...

I tried this and to be honest, the soft keys need some work, they just seem kinda unfinished in my opinion, they need to be bolded or something along those lines.
new setting nevr applies and it force closes
and hide notification dosnt even work
Hey for those who did not like to the look of the softkeys or just wanna change them, or if you just wanna make the add button more visible etc i have a way. Okay all you have to do is open the apk archive in 7zip and then follow these steps.
For example, to change the home key from the white and gray preset to the well known blueish-transparent download the hc3d add-ons (just search on xda). Next you need to double click res in the 7zip archive. After that click the drawable_hdpi folder once and drag it to your desktop. After that, locate the image you wanna use (i recommend the hc3d add ons) and copy and paste it into your desktop shortcut. Next, delete the current home_dock_button and rename your copy/pasted file as home_dock_button. You can also open them up and edit them to the proper size. (WRITE DOWN THE SIZES YOU NEED BEFORE DELETING THE IMAGE.). You can also open your new image and edit color, etc. To make your buttons now visible (like when the add button is only half shown) go back into your drawable_hdpi and find the image called line_break. All you half to do is open it and edit it to whatever size you want. i used 455x36. After you have edited whatever you want drag and drop the drawble_hdpi back into the 7zip archive for the apk. After this copy and paste back into your sd card.
If you try to install after this it will not work so you will need to download two apps. The first is signapktic and the second is Linda Manager (or any file manager of your choice). Open signapktic and locate the file you want then just go through its steps. This will resign the apk so it can be installed. Finally just open up your file manager, install, and enjoy. You will have to follow these steps evertime you try to edit a png/xml in the app so it is quite a tedious process.

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories

Hey all
Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I'm afraid you need root to do this. I am running Paranoid's latest build and there is the option to make widgets go full screen in lockscreen.

So there's a couple things about this question:
First, any widgets that you have in your first lockscreen by default are minimized to make room for your lock circle. If you just drag down on the widget, it will maximize your widget at the expense of your lock circle, which then has to be tapped to be brought up again. This is the behavior that you are seeing when you swipe away and then swipe back.
Second, if you want, some custom ROMs (namely cm and PA, but possibly others) have recently implemented an option to have your widget be expanded by default. So if that's what you're looking for, I would start there. Unfortunately, this feature is not available on stock so you will have to root your phone.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. It's a shame I have to root and rom to add that setting. I guess I'll have to do without.

An alternative if you don't want to flash a custom ROM is to use WidgetLocker.

Actually, my bad. I assumed that DashClock's lockscreen widget is the same as it's homescreen widget. Apparently they're different. If you use WidgetLocker, you'll only be able to see the full homescreen widget.
To see what I mean, add the DashClock widget to one of your homescreens and compare that to what you see on the lockscreen...

I’m going to contradict myself here. I just realized that if the homescreen version of the DashClock widget is resized to be larger, it becomes identical to the lockscreen version of the widget.
Unfortunately, for some weird reason, if you try the same with WidgetLocker, the widget still looks like the compact version.
So, WidgetLocker is not the way to go for this. Sorry!
just for the record it is aokp's feature. very nice idea indeed.

Thank for this info I was also having that same problem. running Paranoid's 3.0 latest build and sure enough this fix the dash clock widget not showing up in full lock screen size.. Thank you .
Before you go rooting and installing all sorts of weird stuff, try swiping Down on the Dashclock widget on the lockscreen, that might give you the results you want

Nope, doesn't work for me.
Its a shame that stock Android doesn't have the option to maximize the lock screen widgets. I won't root and add a custom rom so it's a no go area for me unfortunately. Google if you're reading this please add that option!

This is how dashclock was designed and unfortunately you have to pull down the screen to get full access. Not sure the developer will change this or at least make an option to change this in future versions. You could always try and contact the developer and ask him to include this as an option, his Google+ account would be a good place to start.

I don't have G+ or twitter account and don't want to create one. I'll just wait and see if this is implemented in future.
If you are running PA (15th feb) go to hybrid properties -> swipe right -> tools -> turn on expert mode. Now go to interface and reduce lockscreen down to something like 190dpi. This should enable you to see the widget in full screen on the lockscreen. At least this is what worked for me.

I was able to get the widget to display full mode with two rows of info perfectly using the following settings on PA:
250 DPI lockscreen (turn on expert mode)
260 DPI dashclock widget
Keeps the overall size reasonable for both pattern unlock and widget size.

Make sure you have unknown sources turned on in your settings.

I've got them installed and I can pick from their icons by editing icon individually but I cannot find anywhere to apply a theme to the whole launcher. I have the at&t version if that matters. I've looked everywhere. Maybe it's just disabled on this model? I don't know. I really want to change my app drawer button though and it can only be changed by applying the theme to the entire home launcher.

For me, it was easy to find. I do have the verizon one, but the only difference in settings is that Verizon's settings page is set to one long one, and ATT has tabs (but either can switch that in settings).
I clicked the settings button from the home screen, which brought up the settings menu: then found homescreen and BOOM...
Try switching your settings view mode to single page over tabbed and it might be easier.

Your installing the apks and then changing themes using the theme setting from main menu or the Home menu under settings? When I switch themes it changes all my icons but maybe a quick reboot will refresh your dock and home icons unless Verizon is different like the ATT guys don't seem to have the theme chooser. I'm on T-Mobile.

I've changed the theme from both menus, same result. Then, if I use icon themer after changing the theme, it will change everything EXCEPT the system icons. Cool feature, just doesn't seem to be working for me like I wanted. Running Clean Rom if it matters. All I really want is a way to change the app drawer icon, which doesn't seem possible at the moment.

That is so weird, just changed my theme to Crystal2 in the LG Launcher and there you can see my app drawer icon is a cool X.

When I install a theme, it only themes the system icons, including the app icon(which is great), but not any other icons. I assume it's because of a variation in the way the system is set up as compared to the phone these were originally made for? I've tried 5 different themes with the same result, only system icons themed. Hmmmm...
On Cleanrom, if it makes a difference.

However the phone allows you to change any other app's icon at will... you can even go download images or create them in PS and have ANYTHING you want as an icon really easily. Just pick up the app, then drop it on your screen, and a purple brush shows up in the corner: click that and you can change it to anything... literally anything you want.

Again, I'm fully aware of that option, on the home screen, but that doesn't change the fact that the themes do not change any icons other than system app icons. In the drawer. Or system wide, like icon themer does.

There isn't anything built-in for the lock screen wallpaper specifically, but as long as you don't have the Amazon "Special Offers" lock screen then whatever you set as your home screen wall will be your lock screen wall.

Which app do you use to change wallpaper? Because for me never happened what you describe
Inviato dal mio KFGIWI utilizzando Tapatalk
I'm using ADW ex launcher, (on an ad-free version of the Fire) and once I figured out where to stash my screen/wallpaper .jpg, it now works on the lock screen too. (It also does a great job of shrinking icons to 50% and increasing the grid size)
Okay, so where do you stash your jpeg?

Does it change the lock screen wallpaper? As far as I know, but please correct me if wrong, you can only change the lock screen wallpapers using Amazon Photos. If you get rid of (uninstall/disable) Amazon Photos, you can no longer change the lock screen wallpaper. Does this do that without Amazon Photos installed?
simple solution
after having amazon uninstall 'amazon offers" i simply had to reset or reapply the lockscreen wallpaper, restart the device and voila.......rotating lockscreen wallpapers disappeared and only 1 image (the one i chose) remained on the locks screen as well as my background pic.......hope it works for you too

As always, you are right once again, DragonFire1024. You can use other Wallpaper apps to change the background of your home screen, but the Amazon Photos app is the only one that seems to affect the lock screen (at least from my limited experience)
Does anyone know how (without using an app like Wallchanger) to get a Fire HD to return to randomly shuffling the stock set of lockscreen images? I can easily change my lockscreen to any one image at any time, but I'd like it to go back to shuffling images like it used to (again, without a 3rd party app). Thanks.

Not so. You can just go to Settings --> Display --> Wallpaper, then choose & set an image, and it becomes the wallpaper AND the lockscreen, as long as you're not on "special offers." I'm just wondering how to get it so the lockscreen and/or wallpapers would shuffle or change on their own, like it used to, and without a 3rd party app.

Yes you can change the lock screen wallpaper because you still have Amazon photos. My HD 8 has not had special offers but if you uninstall or disable Amazon photos, you won't be able to change the lock screen wallpapers without modding the systemUI https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76071092&postcount=2

I've done it on my Fire HD8 7th gen.
It's easy. You need to install Nova Launcher.
Go to settings > display > wallpaper, and set one wallpaper there.
Next: Set a wallpaper with Nova Launcher. That will be your home screen wallpaper for Nova Launcher and Home Pages.
And there you've done it! In settings you set the lockscreen wallpaper. In Nova Launcher it somehow sets homecreen wallpaper even for home pages.
