Omnirom launcher columns problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I am using the omnirom 4.4.2 for the s3 mini. I got a problem with the launcher. I cannot set the columns of the app-drawer to any other value than five. That means no matter what number I set it always stays five icons.
What could cause this problem and what could be a solution for this?
Cheers
Thao
PS: If your want to contribute to my question then pls do not ask question like 'why don't you use another launcher' or similar.

Some Theme Help For a Newbie

I recently upgraded from an SGH i600 to a HTC Kaiser/TyTnII (whatever you want to call it).
I loaded on a custom ROM (Solace 3.1), then loaded on Throttle Launcher. After loading on Throttle Launcher, I put a theme (the Pipboy 3000 one that I found on this forum) in the "setup" folder. Throttle Launcher found it , then loaded it, but the theme doesn't really seem to work very well.
The wallpaper doesn't load, the control bar at the bottom is off the page, and turning it to sideways view removes all the icons and replaces with text.
I do not know what I am doing wrong, I have Google'd and searched this forum alot , but I can't seem to find anyway to fix this.
If anyone could shed some light on what I am doing wrong, I would be very happy, I would like to get this theme working.
If not , then I will just go for another theme (unless I have the same problem with that, in which case I will just use the default theme).
Sorry if this is a nooby question, or something thats been answered a million times before, but I just can't find any info on what I am doing wrong.

[Q] How to change Date/Time Picker in MIUI ?

Hi guys,
I searched a lot and it seems that the Date/Time picker (kind of scrollable wheels like on iphone) is hardcoded in MIUI roms.
I would like to know if there is a custom MIUI rom that include the standard Date/Time picker (with little +/- signs) ?
Or is there any way to change that behavior ?
It would be more convenient.
Thanks.
Does somebody knows a workaround ?
If it's for the Alarm...you can just download a third party alarm...as a workaround.
I have the same need. It's for the calendar.

Try "Business Calendar" in the market, you will love it.
Really simplify the creation and modification of events.
And it's free !

** change xx for tt so the link will work. I was not able to post it correctly since I have less then 8 posts :-(
It's not a lack of the applications, it's simply totally impractical. A lot of apps are using this stupid "wheel" and I'd also like to have a "hack" or similar that gives me back the "normal" +/- selector.

[Q] DPI change, more apps in a row on the screen, etc... :)

Greetings, lovely xda community!
I am very happy with all the solutions and innovations I find on these forums.. I am on Ultimate v5 at the moment..
Lately, caught more of the DPI changing texts, from 320 to 240..
But, apparently these is DPI change for apps and for the whole screen of the Note..
So, since my understanding is limited, what I hope to be able to do is to change general DPI of the screen, so that I would be able to put more apps per one homescreen.. I mean, I like Note`s big screen real estate, but there is too much empty space between the apps icons, so maybe something like 6x6 would be better than the usual 5x5... (hmm. I wanted to add attachment of my screenshots of the present state of my screen and homescreens/app icons, but none of the message edit and attachment buttons do not work )..
Anyway, I tried some dpi changers and density changers from Play store.. Boy, I barely managed to get the phone working normally again.. I just made the keyboard pop up with massive numbers and only upper 30 percent of the normal keyboard..
now back to normal..
so, how can I do it? I do not need to run tablet apps,so I do not need dpi change that allows me to download tablet apps from play store..
I would like to fit more icons on the homescreen...
How is that done?
By the way, I did google and search this forum, but it mostly speaks about dpi change for apps..
And ok, there is the "edit build prop", but is that what I need for my intentions, and how can I do it.. and possible negative consequences?
Thanks for stopping and answering!
Peace out...
Hi there, some apps look better in certain dpi modes than others.
I suggest you look at the rom "paranoid android 3 build by beerbong" in the original android development section of the n7000 forum at xda.
Its an aosp rom (google android without the samsung stuff) and it allows changing the dpi of the whole phone (phone, phablet and tablet mode) and changing the dpi of apps alone.
Its a work of art and i suggest you take a look at that rather than messing around with buildprop editors. Goodluck!

Two difference clocks in statusbar

Hello everyone,
This is my first post so excuse me in advance and I am not so good in english.
Is there a way to get two clock times in the statusbar, because i want to see the time of my home and the time of anywhere else.
I searched through Google but I found nothing what will help me.
Normally there is one time in the statusbar, for example: 5:37. Is there a way to get two times there, does it look like: 5:37 7:37?
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Cyanogenmod 11.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Number of dock icons change with DPI.

Hi, I'm a big fan of lower DPI to use all the screen real estate, so I decided on running a DPI of 476 on my N6.
When i set this DPI on Euphoria rom it automatically switches from a 5 icon dock, to a 7 icon dock. Also, the homescreen grid changes as well.
When setting the same DPI on Rastapop, it remains a 5 icon dock.
For me that means its ROM related (I use the same gapps for both).My question is, how this happens. I prefer a 5 icon dock. So is there a way I can prevent this from happening when I am running Euphoria?
Thanks for any replies and help!
PS.
The reason I am asking here, is to respect the devs and not discuss different Roms in their own threads.
For now I'm running SlimLauncher on Euphoria. It let's me set the number of dock icons.
And much more!
Solved.
