Hi
does anybody know how many cells are on the homescreen grid of a tablet like nexus 7?
Also how many dip should those cells be?
I thought the grid was 5x6 on 7 inch tablets or 7x8 for 10 inch tablets. (portrait)
The screen shots I have seen have 6 launcher icons across except the bottom row just above the nav bar which has 7 icons.
I am a graphic designer desiging an app and widget. The widget needs to be 2x2 cells on the homescreen.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post such a question, but I can't find any answers on design forums.
thanks

Okay, I have successfully made Rosie do 5x5 and 4x5.
5x5 is what I wanted, but then every single widget would have to be edited to look right. - No.
4x5 lets the 4 column widgets work, and adds an extra row of icons to every screen. Only problem is, since each square of screen space is reduced to add the extra row, the last few lines of a widget are lost.
See attached 4x5 shot.
I know if I can remove some padding around the workspace screen, each cell would grow a little. I just can't find where to do it, and my fingers are getting numb from building and pushing the apk.
Does anybody know what padding settings I need to reduce to allow icon/widget cells to grow?

I have not seen this anywhere else and would like to share it with people who
have not come across this before.. In the ADWLauncher EX (paid version) there
is the option at add five rows of columns and five rows of icons giving your a total
of 25 icons on one screen. I have found this saves a bit of time navigating to
different apps..
P.S - Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere!
Hi
You can have even 100 icons on the homescreen cuz it allows 10x10 rows and columns
But it doesn't look clean imo and chances of accidental clicks are also more.. I prefer 4x4 and sometimes 5x4
yeah, different strokes for different folks i guess.. ive always felt the 4*4 being akin to like how old folks turn up the font size on their computer screens.. but like you said u could get accidental clicks as well..
I don't know where to put this.
I'm using Nova Launcher for ICS and I want to customize it using desktop visualizer (dvr). I have my grid set to 5 rows and 4 columns.
I'm going to create my own icons but need to know the screen real estate space in order to space everything out evenly.
The SGS2 screen resolution for one screen is 480w x 800w.
My question is how much pixel does the dock take up for Nova launcher? As well as the top status bar if it takes any at all. Or how much pixel does the persistant google search bar take? After I take those into consideration, I would have my actual usable screen real estate.
Hope some knowledgeable person can help me out.
My last phone was a HTC Desire, now I use the Galaxy S3.
It's a great phone, but what a king size icons and a loss of screen space. On the home screen I have 4x4 space for icons, a large slider 4x1 and a dock for 4x1. When you use some widgets that are 4x2 the half of the screen is filled.
Starting the contact app shows me a few rows of contacts. But with a font size that can be read from outer space.....(font size in settings set to tiny)
Do you agree with this ?
Are there any opportunities (custom roms) to improve this ?
Maybe Apex launcher can solve some of these things...
Change your dpi

Nice to have such a choice!
Good to know that the dpi can be changed. But these middle aged eyes of mine will be thrilled that stuff is bigger on the screen. Awesome!
Download Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. Both are smooth, free and have customizable desktop grids. I really loved the smoothness of the stock GS3 launcher but the lack of space was a dealbreaker for me.
Hi
I have been searching for a launcher that allows me to change the grid sizes per screen but so far i have not found one
does anyone know of one that does this.
I want one for use on a galaxy gear watch so that i can have the main screen set to 4x5 for the widget and then as the screen is so small i want the other screens to only have a 2x2 or 3x3 grid so the icons are big enough
hope you get what i mean
Thanks
