I love the EVO and android's OS, but it supposed to be open, and very customizable?
I know their is some app in the market that makes apps get alot bigger and turn them into widgets, but.
Is their an app that allows the users to customize the size on the homescreen the app icon is. I would really want that. And pay for it.
I am rooted btw
Anybody???
RE iCONS
dude its Android there is always a free Alternative i Use FolderOrganizer, Allows you to customize Icons, remove labels from Icon packs or even if you create your own on photoshop or any photo editor even photos you took on your camera, Any image Jpeg or Png would work check different sizes
search "Bigger Icons Widget" in the market.

Is it possible somehow to make nicer icon when I am puting some web favorites on my homescreen ? On Menu - Add shortcut -... To be specific, I am sick of standard facebook app that came with the phone and I want to use m.facebook.com instead, when I make shortcut to this page on my homepage I get some ugly icon with really small FB icon of frontpage. Can I somehow put there real facebook icon ? Or at least 1x1 photo of the page that I want to go with this shortcut ? So my goal is to have nice icon, like Facebook widget has but in a way that this icon is starting m.facebook.com page, not preinstalled FB app. Is it possible and how ?
Tnx a lot
you can use better cut to create custom icons. You can also find different icon packs by searching for icon packs in market.
Tnx a lot, the app is not bad but can I see somewhere how do those icons in icon pack look !? Because there are at least 100 of packs there and I dont know how do they look or even do they have Facebook app ? How can I put icon for gsmarena.com page when there isnt one in those packs ? Can you please explain me if you know how. Can I cut the photo in browser or something ?
Tnx a lot
you basically just have to download the pack, and once installed look through it. Then uninstall if you don't want it. A bit of a pain, but the only way to do it, that I know of anyway. You can also read the reviews and go by that. Some comments are helpful, giving a brief description of the icons sometimes. There is also an option when using better cut to use your own pic, I haven't tried this, but I suppose if you had your own pic of an icon, you could use that.
Ok, tnx a lot, I guess that I will have to try some packs then. But this UI on this app is fugly...
Is it possible to create and change the icons for apps? One thing I like about the iPhone is that the app icons are largely of a uniform shape and size so look good. There are also some poorly designed icons that are a bit of an eyesore.
I quite fancy doing a 'Sticker' style icon set.
Use apps like bettercut or folderorganizer.........the second can do much more
Hi,
I saw a video from Droid X were was shown the ability to resize widget’s,
i think that’s very cool.
Do you think It’s possible to port the widgets and the ability to resize for magic? or even the whole rom to magic since it seems very simple and very vanilla like?
Thanks....
If you use ADW launcher, you can do that
Resize
how do i resize the widgets with ADW.launcher? what widgets is possible to resize?
Thanks
This has nothing to do with developing roms.
I'm moving to General.
Resize
Sorry my mistake...

When you add a widget (it could be any widget) a popup will appear with the default dimensions and give you an option to change them. I guess it is "cool" but it purely practical terms it's kinda pointless.
-First if you stretch or shrink a widget without keeping it's aspect ratio it will look awful
-If you stretch a widget all the graphics will look horrid because they aren't are still at a lower resolution just stretch
-If you shrink a widget any text becomes unreadable, this isn't a problem on high resolution WVGA devices but it is on the Magic.
It's possible, but there's a reason it isn't officially supported.
how do u resize it?

Thats way i’ve liked what i saw in the video (sorry but i cant find it now) the example was the calendar, the widget change the organization it self. Its like HTC Calendar Widget, that have the grid, the bar and a event list, but there you can change just by resize, it’s not a simple stretch... if i find the video i’ll post it

Well then you're not resizing, just choosing a different widget in itself.
I have no idea how to develop android apps or anything like that, I do have a few questions or ideas on how to do this though.
Basically what I am asking is, is it possible to increase the size on an icon on the home screen, whether its using adw.launcher, launcher pro, or the stock launcher?
I know you can increase the size of widgets on adw.launcher but I want the icons.
Better cut lets you change the icon, but not the size. I think I read that standard icons on android phones are 48x48.
Is their anyway to possibly explore the .apk and rechange the icon dimensions or image size, and resign it and then install it?
Or is their a program available that lets you stretch icons on the homescreen.
I have tried better cut, and have icons that are higher resolutions, and haven't had any luck. Also i checked the market and their are no icon packs or anything similar to the ones I want
Could someone explain if this is possible please? thanks.
Anyone have a suggestion?
desktop visualizer---change size
Folder organizer---change icon
Sent from my blah blah blah
Thank you so much.
the developer who make more icons also makes a widget that lets you have large icons..dont remember the name but if you look for moreicons in the market you should be able to find this app
Is there a launcher that allows widgets to not have margins? I want my widgets to be close together. I cant find a way to do it.
You have to use something like nova and choose like a 10x10 grid..that's the only way I think would work.

Im using nova and any grid size just doesn't work right. Say you have a 4x2 widget. Then you set Nova to 10x10. Now set the 4x2 widget. To make it look right the size changes to 10x3. Just doesnt work. Basically I want to put 3 widgets on my screen. one thats a 5x2, 5x3 and 5x3. So I would need a grid size of 8x5. But If I set it to that the widgets dont fit at all. Its because the widgets have to be re-sized so big to look right.
BUMP Until I get a answer
The only suggestion I could find for your question isn't free. Next Launcher allows you to freehand resize all widgets (meaning does not "snap to grid" resize) , even overlap. This is the lite version so you can try before you buy...

Lefty is exactly right. I've been using next launcher 3D and that's actually one of my favorite features that NO other launchers can accomplish (that I know of).
Some widgets just have funky dimensions, so it's nice to able to resize and place them literally anywhere on the screen. They can partially overlap as much or as little as you'd like.
This can also be done with apps...it looks messy, but you can turn off the grid completely and place the app icons wherever you want. You can even rotate the icons! And I won't even get into all the 3d features...I could go on forever. This is by far my favorite launcher and I've used quite a few.

The issue im having is this. No matter what launcher I use. Next 3D included. If I make the GRID Size 10 x 5 I should be able to have many widgets on my screen. So a 4x2 weather and a 4x3 Pulse and then a 3x4 Hangouts Widget and then a 2x2 photo. So I should just need a 4 x 9 grid right. Wrong because the grid is so big the a widget at 4x2 ends up being a 4x4 to view it all. I need a launcher that allows the widgets to show correctly at the default widget size. So I want a 10 x 5 grid size to actually hold more then 3 widgets. Nova Launcher is the same way. Just with Nova you can adjust the margins anymore then the 3 sizes included. With next you can make your own. But still I cant fit the 5 widgets on my screen that I want. Weather, Gmail, Hangout, Photo, Pulse. I want all those in there default widget sizes. I dont understand why making the grid size bigger makes the widgets bigger. In windows or Mac OSX when I make the rez bigger it doesnt make anything else bigger.
