[Q] How to change app drawer grid to 5x6? (default 4x5) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently change my ROM to Omega 5.2 can't seem to find how to change the app drawer grid to 5x6.
BTW I'm using Nova Launcher. TIA

Same question here.
I've tried searching th forum but can't come up with the answer.
Also - anyone able to tell me ho you can tell if the upgraded camera - 30fps has been installed.
Thanks

I think its already included on the Omega v5.2. If you're not using omega just flash this mod then

goto nova settings-> desktop->desktop grid and change it.
btw stock touchwiz do not support changing grid size by default, there are few mods for it in our app section

That will only change the desktop icons, not the app drawer

Nova setings=app drawer and change

Thanks. I'm usig Omega. Do you have to use Nova or is the 5x6 included in Omega?
Does Nova require root access?

You haw root when you in Omega rom.You rooted you phone when flashed Omega and before that

Yup - I realise that but I was just wondering if Nova would work on unrooted phones

yes you can, just try the free one on the market

Thanks. I don't understand then why 5x6 was meant to be a feature of Omega and yet when I installed the ROM there seemed to be no option to set it.
I'm concerned that I am using a more efficient ROM and yet straightaway I am adding extra weight.
Nova doesn't seem to move as smoothly - even as Touchwizz

When I use Nova launcher, I lose the Accuweather clock. It reappears when I go back to Touchwizz.
Is there any way round this?

[Q] Change the 4x4 home screen grid to 5x5, possible?

There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

In fact, TW is already modded...
Here
Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.

by the way when u open the app drawer , the wallpaper with app shortcuts/appdrawer button/ clock will still be shown? im looking something like the launcher in jb on samsung s3/mini or xperia launcher
Which ROM did you try because some ROMs don't have trebuchet. Also you can look in the x10 mini forums for an ICS xperia launcher for ICS. Also look in the galaxy mini forums for an ICS touchwiz launcher as both of these phones are ldpi.

Changing stock Application icon images?

Hope someone has an answer to this.
I want to change the stock images of phone, messaging, contacts, and browser apps, but editing them in Nova Launcher or using Desktop Visualizer aren't working. Does anyone know of a way to change those app images with my own?
Yeah no go in Nova but Apex works great!

If you go into the settings there will be an option to select icon packs. Stock Jellybean is one of them.

Thank you...that's at least better than the touchwiz icons. Even though I still can't change them myself.

I can change them in Apex Launcher which basically uses the same icon changing edit method as Nova Launcher, but Nova changes don't work. App icon image just never changes in Nova. Again..in Apex I can change icon images and everything..all works fine, but not in Nova Launcher.
I've used Nova Launcher on my old galaxy nexus since it came out so yes I know how to change the icons.

Yeah you can use any launcher replacement such as -
Nova, Apex, Go Launcher EX.
There are many to choose from.

Any chance I can do it without using a launcher cause I like the touchwise look
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You're already using a launcher
touchwizz's one
2 solutions :
- a modded touchwizz launcher
- a third party launcher (nova is the best one for me)
Thanks for the answers and the help guys

[Q] X-NOTE port question

So I just flashed the ported X-Note rom and I love everything about it except I can't get my widgets to go across the whole screen since apparently it is a modded TW launcher set for 5x4. A post in the forum said to download SecLauncher4.apk and I did but it also had other instructions that I did not know how to follow. Thanks for any help !!!

Install the Nova Launcher, you can set the number of widgets in the desktop, app drawer, and dock. Its very easy to set up, with more features and the ability to bring widgets from TW launcher over to Nova launcher.
Thanks ilk give that a try. Any idea on why the YouTube App FC's in the ROM?

Not every widget is compatible to be re-sized no matter what you do.
