Is there a launcher that allows for different grid sizes per screen ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

I see what you mean but why don't you resize the widgets instead of searching for this kind of launcher?

Not sure, but I'm going to develop one that does, thanks for the idea. Nexogen Developers

Try Lucid Launcher... I know you said you wanted a resizeable grid, but maybe no grid will work better?

Fair enough lol, make sure you have Overcome ROM flashed, don't think it works on other ROMs yet
Will do.. Are you trying the wallpapers on the stock launcher or adw?

Use multipicture live wallpaper or wizardrii to get a good crop or use full picture.

Don't know if it's a honeycomb feature or a TW one. Wallpapers are croped and resized in 5 parts (center, left, right, up, down).
It's just weird...
Its a honeycomb thing, because wallpapers have to be able to be in portrait and landscape view.

Use the APP wallpaper for tablets.. once installed it will appear under live wallpapers.. you can fiddle with it and set an image as background and it does a good job!

+1 for this. Use multipicture live - it's what the majority of people are using to fix this issue and you can set it up so that a double-tap will change your wallpaper to another (of those in the same picture folder).

Disable perspective wallpaper?

Hey guys is there any way to disable the perspective(scrolling) wallpaper on Android? I have an evo
running mik g rom. Thanks for the help in advance!

If you mean how the wallpaper scrolls with home screens, then I know you can use Nemus launcher and that's an option in the settings.

Nothing i've ever heard of. There's no good reason not to install another Launcher that has this option though. Launcher Pro or ADW are probably the favourite choices.

Try the OGQ background app, with it you can choose scrolling/nonscrolling etc...
It's awesome.
You can find it in the market, backgrounds by OGQ

Yes... This app has an option to do that...
Did you not read my post.
You can use this so to set wallpapers you already have too by going into gallery, closing set as, and them picking this app out of the list.
Wallpapyrus gives the options to have iPhone like wallpaper (ie no scrolling)

No it is not. It's Samsungs design feature not to scroll wallpapers.
Try wallpaper wizardrii, and choose "crop landscape". But I'm on Apex launcher so don't know if TW has it.
Again, APEX LAUNCHER HAS WALLPAPER SCROLLING if you use wallpaper wizadrii
It doesn't work ... it seems that is part of the system.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well I thought so, because it's the same with all new sense phones!

Apex launcher add a new option to select the wallpaper and let you define the galaxy nexus background with scrolling effect.
After installing this launcher this new option persist. The drawback is that there is only one backgroud image... maybe it is possible to add new backgrounds with scrolling effecs if we find where they are placed...

Possible solution for Galaxy S3
I found this application, still beta version :
Scrolling Wallpaper
Andronymus
Description:
This live wallpaper is for devices which do not have the possibility to scroll the wallpaper image with the stock launcher. It is mainly designed for the Galaxy S3.
It is a replacement for the background wallpaper in the home screen.
PD: I can't not post the link because I'm a new user ...
-> the web is -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lwp.superluminar.swallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
I cant find a reason why to do this.
I hope developers with custom roms fix this,because samsung sleeps...
Yep ... i agree with you...
lol thats stupid !
A live wallpaper is not a good solution, but is something ...

This is what you have to do.
Put whatever background you want to use on your web server.
Use the stock internet program to navigate to that picture.
Long press on the pic to bring up the menu.
Select "Set as wallpaper"
Finally, the wallpaper is scrollable. And use 1440 x 1280.

I didn't see any way to do it with the stock launcher. I use Nova, but all customs launchers offer it. If not need to wait stock tweaked launcher on custom's ROM.

Wizardrii works but I find it buggy mit keeps on resizing my wallpaper everytime
Sent from my C6802 using Tapatalk 4
I was trying to figure this out too. wizard wizardrii was buggy so I deleted it. tried nova launcher and hated it too. only thing I was able to do was resize picture to 1920x1080 on laptop and copy and paste it again like a double image. that works. it scrolls one picture to the next identical picture. lol alot of work for something so simple.

disable touchwiz ?

Hello,
It's possible to disable touchwiz and use only themer ?
Thanks
Not entirely. Not as far as the app drawer and lock screen. But Themer is your launcher otherwise.
