Hi is there a app or setting to change the icon and Widget spacing? Iwant to put them closer, there is so much space wasted.
Many third party launchers such as launcher pro or adw allow you to adjust the amount of columns and rows used allowing you to add more icons.

how about an edit so you don't have to run another app
I would think there would be a configuration file with spacing in it that you could edit so you don't have to run another app. There are a lot of good launcher apps but the only thing I don't like about the home screen is the spacing and don't want to have to have another app running just to resolve that.
What rom are you running? If you are rooted there are roms that have stock but only icons spacing changed. Can't find post right now. If you aren't rooted you'll need to write to HTC to change their launcher.

Hi folks,
See, I'm considering making my own themes for my Motorola Defy with Launcherpro, and atm I'm researching for tutorials on how to achieve certain results, but one thing that's bugging me is the default icon size of android. It seems to me that there's too much wasted space in padding between icons. I really like the looks of UI's like MIUI or even iOS in the way that you can actually have big icons to see, press or gloat about
Most solutions suggest using bettercut or Desktop visualizer, but it strikes me the fact that I must fill my desktop with widgets when all I want is just a shortcut. Also, these solutions don't apply to the app drawer, and it's a shame that we have acces to awesome icon packs such as Suave or AresHD and we must have them confined to 0.05 sq inches screen space.
Can this be done by fiddling around with framework.apk or is it much more difficult?
Thanks guys!
Use ADW Launcher. You can change the columns/rows in both your desktop and app drawer.

And if you like it, I highly suggest upgrading to:

Isn't there any NON-Launcher dependant way to do it? I mean, as far as I know the icons are arranged in a grid pattern be it one launcher or another. What I'd like to know is if tere's any way of altering the "padding" in the grid spaces.
Anyone?

bump!.....
It's launcher dependent.
If you're savvy enough you can decompile your ROM and build it as you see fit.
Running maximus I'm pretty stock. I dislike all the different styled app icons and want them all in the same format. (Read all the same height, width and border radius.)
Using a home replacement doesn't change the drawer app icons so that's a no go. I have virtuous ten studio and all prerequisites installed.
So my question where do I change the rule that some themes apply to change the general look and if I totally change an app icon with vtstudio will this change still be applied after an update?
Regards
FYI I'm running Nova Prime and can confirm with 100% certainty that all icons get changed when you apply an icon pack. You can also change an apps icon individually on the home screens..

I've started utilizing Google Now quite a bit lately. And now I would really like to get back to using the Google Now launcher. However, It's still missing 2 key features in stock form. I'm looking to see if anyone has a solid work around for them, that doesn't hinder performance.
1) Change icon theme
2) Change icon size
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Icon changer on the playstore
Thanks, but it looks like it only changes/resizes the icon on the desktop and not the app drawer. Am I doing something wrong?
You can just drag icons out of app drawer first . you can't have it already there
Hi,
Question, has anyone tried changing icon grid size? Especially in app drawer? I know you can do that by using nova launcher for example, but don't really want to put new launcher on tab as default one is OK.
Thanks!
I am using a HTC One M8 running CM14.1, rooted and S-OFF.
I designed my own app icons that I want to use for my apps. I have them in png files exactly the same resolution as the files I extracted from the original APKs. I have tried doing some research how to set my images as the icons for my apps, but every Google search just points you at gimmicky free apps for non-rooted devices that just create shortcuts on the home screen. I actually want to change the app icon system-wide, so that my icons will show up in the app drawer with my icons too.
Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? I am not opposed to a significant time investment. Thanks in advance for any advice.
