I run MIUI and am sick of the launcher (app drawer, etc.) I like GoLauncher with its widgets and such. There are a few things I want changed though, and I would like to know if it has been done.
First, I like how the icons in MIUI are really large, in GO, they are very small. Can they be changed in GO?
Secondly, I like how the text under the icons in MIUI do not have the black background. Is this possible in GO?

I didn't know they had one. I will take a look.
Launcher Pro is the only launcher I think that can remove the icon label backgrounds.
One of the reasons I love it. I do wish it had bigger icons and maybe a 4 icon dock.

I like GoLauncher better because of home swipe actions,the ease of changing icons on both homescreen n dock and overall smoothness...
This is why I use ADW EX.. you can customize everything to do with the icons.. Size, background of icon, text color, size, fully customize the dock, instantaneous drawer (I find go launcher drawer to always have SOME lag), tons of themes, same swipe gesture options and screen animations.. The only thing you lose is the widgets and there are other market Apps that take care of that.

Same here.. LPP and GO are great, but ADW customization go further (no dock is a sweet feature too)... but ADW is not as smooth as the two others, I mean that when you want to edit stuff (widget size, placing shortcut elsewhere, etc) it feels weird, not as responsive, I don't like it but it's the only negative point so I live fine with it.. pros and cons..
In go launcher i use desktop visualizer to get some real big icons, miui style. It gives me even the option to open shortucs to folder organizer.

I just downloaded Desktop Visualizer and I did not find the option in there for icon size. How are you doing it?
Long press the icon from dvisualizer that you just added to your home screen and choose resize.
Dvisualizer is a widget, you can resize it just like any other widget.

I'm on a Samsung Note 5 and I've been trying to make my widgets more readable by having them on a 4x4 grid sized screen, but I really like the room that I get for my app icons on the 5x5 screens. Is there any way that I can have both going on at the same time?
I'm rooted and on BreakDown's DPD1 v2.1 rom. I've got Xposed and have tried many different apps from the Play Store, Xposed, etc. I've also tried apps that change the DPI setting of my apps, and they do help with my widgets, but they ruin the app when I open them. For example, I can't reach the "Delete" button in Evernote because the DPI settings have made it sink under the screen. It makes the widget just the right size though. No 3rd party launcher seems to be able to do what I want either. I thought Zen UI could, but the grid size option is only for the app drawer and not the homescreen.
Ideally, I'd like for there to be a button or setting that let's me change the grid size on a per screen basis, instead of the universal setting that there is now. Can anyone help me out?
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!
Hi All, i want to explain my "problem". I use Nova launcher every day and when i want to set same wallpaper for lockscreen and home screen i need to do it with the gallery because the oneplus wallpaper picker can' t be used. Now if you see in my screenshot the wallpaper in lockscreen seems like it has some imperfection in color and resolution, but in nova home is perfect ! There is a solution? Now with this wallpaper the problem isn' t really evident but with lighter wallpapers the result is horrible... Hope in a solution
If I understood correctly, I have the same problem with Nova Launcher: it seems the wallpaper gets scaled once you set it, no matter if it matches your screen resolution or not, generating artifacts.

Exactly but for me this problem is on the lockscreen using nova launcher... There is a wat to fix it?
How can I tweak the inbuilt OnePlus launcher to add certain functionalities like hiding apps or organising them in folders within the app drawer?
(I haven't rooted my phone it is currently using OxygenOS version 4.0.3)
I know the easier option is to install another launchers available out there with these features. But I have found that UI of OnePlus launcher is quite clean. Though Launchers from play store like nova, arrow, buzz allow you to customise the icon size and lable's font size on the home screen, it is not possible in the app drawer, which makes to UI little clumpsy thus I want to add the feature of organising and hiding to oneplus launcher itself.
Nova allows you to tinker with icon size, text size, no. of icons horizontally and vertically, background colour, scroll bar colour etc. You can also setup swipe actions on desktop like one plus launcher and add even more gestures.

See. Many launchers have this feature in their paid version, but not in their free version. And, I personally don't believe in paying for an app without trying all its feature at least for a week for free.
Though I would try NOVA Prime, I want to know HOW can I tweak the in-built launcher?

You can't. Either you like what OnePlus likes or you choose a different Launcher.
