I've been using MIUI for a while now - main reason being the icons are spaced out with correct size. With 5 rows and 4 columns their sizes look like iphone. But when i use the same 5x4 with other lauchers the icons and the labels are too small for me to read..Not sure why?
I'd love to use APEX or nova if i can get the same layout as miui - they're more flexible for icon change and app drawer etc..
Any ideas or tips?

Has anyone tried to decrease the size of the app drawer by about half? The reason I ask is because with advanced launcher I only have 2 rows of icons and don't really need the black space. Optimally I would like it to end just above the first 2 rows of icons, mainly because a lot of people use the flip clock widget which would make it still visible with the app drawer up.
No one knows how if this is even possible.
Hello,
I have a little question I have the advanced launcher in my theme but it dont change the icons in a row so could anyobody change me the file which makes 4 icons in a row in the launcher ? And Dont know how many icons in the original in landscape mode is but could anyobody say this ?
Now my 2. problem i have made an background for the launcher 90% but in the launcher it is grey it dont shows the homescreen...
Ex iphone user?
Android is always 4 icons in a row
No on cm 4.2.3.1 it has in the launcher 5 icons and i want that is normal
Couldn't you just push the default launcher.apk?
but then it doesn't have the advanced features 0_o
I like having 5 icons on my dock bar but stock gignerbread only comes with a bar that fits only 3 icons, can someone share a larger bar so that i can fit my 5 launcher icons in adw launcher
what you can do is go into the adw settings and choose a 5 button dock ... then simply add your icons and shortcuts

I know i can do it, in fact thats what i did but the adw dock looks pretty ugly to me, thats why i want an identical dock as the stock one but bigger, so it fits 5 icons
There is one.

how do you change the icon size ? The stock icons are quite huge.
Keep pushing on a home screen and you will see along with widgets, themes and wallpaper a fourth option grid size. You can change the grid size from 4x4 to 4x5 or 5x5.
that is only the grid but not the icon, i already on 5x5. The stock icons are still big. From my previous oneplus one, I installed the Texdroider DPI from app store, it allows me to change the density from stock to 380.
It makes the screen more space plus icons is smaller also.

The grid size does affect the icon size, but only slightly. You cannot increase the grid beyond 5x5 with the stock launcher. You can install a different launcher, like Nova, and it will give you additional options where you can not only change the grid size and icon size, but can also change the icons themselves. I use Nova and love it!
hi, know one can change homescreen and dock icons with Nova etc. but how does one change the shape of the settings icons (currently rounded squares) in EMUI 9.1 I like the round (Pixel like) icons on my homescreen and app drawer (with nova) but want the settings icons also to be round... any way to achieve this? thanks
any bright ideas?
With emui? I think there's a mod app for it, personally don't use emui launcher as I hate the pull down shortcut gesture.
Plus the having all apps on screen is not pretty..
You could also check out the additional themes app from the play store which has a lot more themes which affect the icons and may also have the ability to alter this too.

Hope this helps.
Thanks, am on EMUI 9.1, I'm using Nova and have changed the homescreen and app drawer icons, but wanted to change the settings icons to, but with themes etc they only change the homescreen and app drawer icons.
They are supposed to be round in EMUI 10, so now you just need to wait 3-4 month until it's released...
Thanks

Oh the settings screen, I'm with you.
You can change colour with a lot of the themes but not the shape AFAIK
