TSF launcher will allow for 7 rows 6 colums and you can fill the dock with as many icons as you like since it slides in from the side and scrolls up and down throw your dock list.
thats the only one that i know of. but i have read of other launchers that have the 7 dock option somewher made for the note.

Go Launcher will let you customize. I've tried 8x8 but settled on 7x7 with a 240DPI.
Sorry my bad - was thinking the home grid setting changed the dock as well, this is not the case. Dock is still locked to 5 despite home grid setting.
Maybe Go Launcher HD will do it if you drop your DPI below 214?
Since when does Go Launcher have a 7 icon dock?
Zeam launcher meets those requirements of yours. Not too many options for customization but it is light and fast.
Yep go launcher

Running adw launcher ex on rooted nook and for the life of me I cant figure out how to fix this. My icon spacing is too far apart. I can only get 4 icons across horizontally. I know there is a fix for this because I see alot of people with icons that are fairly close together. Thanx!

Hit menu on the ADW EX Launcher screen. Select ADWSettings --> UI Settings --> Screen Preferences --> Desktop Columns. From there you can adjust the number of columns on the Launcher.
FYI: I use 6 Columns and 6 Rows on my NOOKcolor and it looks great.
Push the menu button and then adwsettings. Then click on ui settings and then screen preferences.
To decrease the icon spacing, increase the destop columns and desktop rows.
Edit: Dang. Double ninja'd...

Thanx folks!!
I've used ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro and both these launchers for some reason squish/reduce ALL the damn dock icons [even HD icons] down to ridiculous levels. It makes the dock look like a wack job put together by an 8 year old, it makes the dock look infinitely bad. I'm sick of this stupid n00by ****.
So are there any launchers who do NOT squeeze down the damn dock icons to insignificance? I just need the damn dock icons to LOOK like icons, not stupid friggin bastid icon childs.
How does Sweeter Home perform in this area, people?
Adw launcher has an option to pick how large the launcher icons are. It is in adw settings~ui settings~ main dock settings.

Yeah, I tried those, even then the icons go up only a certain bit and they STILL are way smaller.
Weird i dunno what to tell you it worked for me... mine are huge
I used to use Zeam launcher. I found it to be quite nice.
Not sure if it is available in the market or not. But you can certainly google it and find it.
Try adw ex that has the option to make the icons bigger or remove the dock completely and just use regular icons on its place
I just moved to FreeX10 beta 3 - let me try ADW EX / Zeam and i'll report back.
Hi
I use weather bug elite 4x1 widget and have tried the met office app too, also 4x1. When you place the widgets they don't center to fill the whole width of the screen.
I'm using touchwiz but other launchers are the same. I'm guessing this is due to the hd resolution of the s3?
Will the application devs need to fix this to be 5x1 etc, or is it something that I can change?
Altering the columns and rows in the various launcher settings make no difference, or resizing the widget.

I have no problem with any widget on Nova launcher. Dunno about stock launcher. I belive the Weather Bug Elite widget is to blame for the odd behaviour. Have you tried other widgets?

Hmm, here's my scenario.
My standard widgets (battery, alarm, music) fit perfectly on the standard TW launcher. But after changing to Apex Launcher, the 3 widgets mentioned above does not fit anymore.
The content of the standard widgets are mis-aligned and cannot see everything. Have tried various settings in Apex launcher but could not resolve.
Anyone have similar issues?

Same here.
Yeah widgets don't fit as good in Apex but it's a small price to pay for what is the best launcher for ICS / Galaxy S3

Beg to differ. They're unusable - see the screenshot in the post above my last one. What use is that music widget?
My issue is that the widgets that displayed fine on my s2 don't on my s3. Met office etc.
Apex or touchwiz, they don't fit fully across the screen, leaving a gap.
If the stock widgets don't fit apex then surely that means they've messed about with standard widget sizes on the s3, or is it just because it's hd resolution?

I'm not having any problem with widgets fitting properly via Nova, all sit centre if that's where I put them, maybe it's just down to TouchWiz?
Apex Widget Size
I can confirm that I am having the same issue with regards to the widget size on Apex 1.2.5.
Its a shame as I would be using it in a heartbeat if this was fixed. I would even treat myself to the pro version as its so tidy.
No problems with nova.
Try resizing or tweaking grid size/margins?

I will try nova out and see if I like it
I still cant get those widgets to behave like they do under TW, even with messing around with all of the margins and the grid size. Its a shame as otherwise I would be using Apex full time
Experiencing the same problem. Apex Launcher Pro v1.2.5.
This worked for me. Since margins are on screen borders, when theyre large apex squeezes widgets while keeping all their sizes and some start overlapping. Making apex margins samller in settings made all widgets fit for me on sgs3. May depend on device though.

I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient
-Thanks

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
Are tehre any launcher out there that have a vertical scrolling screen so I can put all my widgets on one screen then just scroll up and down that one screen? I know Espier Launcher can do it, but the problem with that one is that I can not resize widgets.
SSLauncher
Launcher 7 does it too. You're restricted in Launcher 7 to the tiles but it will allow you to do it.

Lightning Launcher. In my current setup I have a couple widgets pinned (stationary) on the right half of the screen and a bunch of shortcuts and widgets on the left half of my screen that I can scroll up and down.
