Well since you didnt write WHICH apps or WHICH home I suppose you are speaking about the Samsung ones, which are written for 240 DPI and not compatible with other ones.
There are versions here for the apps or home working on the smaller DPI but you have to search.
But rather then that, use alternatives likes launcher pro for home and for apps, depends what you want.
Also in spare parts, uncheck compatibility mode can help you with some apps
Btw I dont use some third party app change the density since its just a line you have to change in build.prop. So I dont know if it has some special functions making the apps compatible

[Q] Locking the homescreen layout

Not sure if I'm overlooking something simple or whether the feature doesn't exist but is there a way to lock all the widgets in place once you have got your homescreen set out the way you want it? I'm sick of keep accidentally moving or deleting stuff when I drop my phone in my pocket before the screen has turned off.
I know there is an option in CM7 to do this but is it something that is a native android function or is it something that ROM devs would need to incorporate? I've tried searching for something that does it on the market but I just get swamped with lockscreen apps, and not screen locking.

Hi!
I'm using CM7 + Go launcher EX. Locking home screen layout can be done by pressing menu button (while you in home screen) -> more -> lock screen.
CM7 default launcher have same functionality, as far as i remember.
regards.

Yeah, I know it's available in CM7 but I prefer the sense interface so that's why I was wondering if this is something unique to CM7 or whether it is hidden somewhere within all android systems.

It's a functionality of the Launcher. CM7 uses ADW Launcher, you could install this on your sense ROM.

Yes is launcher... ADW or Go launcher...
Menu > More > Lock Screen

You have to use 3rd party launchers to lock the screen...Try using Go launcher...

OK, thanks for the replies.

[Q] problem with home wallpaper

I installed Rocket Rom V7 and now I am facing the issue that
whatever sized wallpaper I select for my homescreen, they all become scrollable, instead of being restricted to one screen size.
I even tried with 1280x800 sized wallpapers and I believed that the wallpaper shouldnt scroll. But they become super zoomed and scroll across my home screens.
I have Go Launcher Ex too installed.
Strangely, the wallpapers look same when I switch to go launcher or older stock launcher which came with original ics 4.03 update.
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Whats the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Help on Nova prime launcher

Hi.
I am facing issue with Nova Prime Launcher.
Below are the two screenshot. One on TW and other on Nova.
My question is why nova is hiding sides of my wallpaper. A big area is hidden which makes my wallpaper ugly.
Any idea how to correct wallpaper alignment on Nova.
Regards
Mani

Hmm...seems like the wallpaper on TW uses only the visible section of the screen, whereas the wallpaper on NOVA uses the entire screen resolution thus looking zoomed in.
I suggest you use Wallpaper Wizardrii to play around with wallpapers
You'll get tons of options to help you keep the wallpaper the way you want it.
I hope this helps!

Need help changing my Gridsize with Xperia Launcher (Xposed Framework)

Hello everyone,
I am new to modifying stock launchers.
(that means I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with rom's / rooting / xposed framework, etc)
For the last few days I have been looking for a way to get a bigger grid size for my Stock Xperia Launcher.
I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher.
In the past I have modifying my Samsung phones (using 3rd party launchers like TSF Shell / Nova Launcher / Widgetlocker, UCCW, Missed it!, etc).
Now I have my Sony Xperia Z1 for 2 months. I used Nova Launcher + Widgetlocker. Then yesterday my WiFi didn't had internet access anymore. So I contacted Sony and I had to reset my phone.
So I start from a new fresh installation now. I was impressed with what Sony had done with Xperia Launcher within these 2 months, I decided I want to use this launcher (no 3rd party launchers)
So now I want to use my Stock Launcher and be able to get a bigger grid size and I want my dock to have 7 instead of 5 icons.
I did some research but I found it confusing so now I need help
On XDA forums I see people talking about using Xposed framework.
Can someone explain me step to step how to used this Xposed framework?
I saw the video that XDA developers made regarding Xposed framework. Which is very clear to me
But how do you implant modules? Where you find these modules?
I just need a bigger Grid size and I want a 7 icon dock, and that is it. My phone I use in Portrait mode mostly, only when Facebooking / Surfing internet / Watching movies I will use Landscape mode.
Can anyone help me out?
Xperia Z1 specs:
Model Number: C6903
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build Number: 14.3.A.0.757

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it later on today when I reach home, I am at work now.
1 More question:
When I try this out, will my live Xperia wallpaper still work, in both Lock Screen + Home Screen?
( I am using the live wallpaper that comes standard with the stock Xperia, named Xperia. I use this wallpaper in both Lock Screen + Home Screen )
That is the one with the waves that changes color after lots of side scrolling )
