Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Thats truly an amazing launcher, no other one allows such customization, I gotta have it. Thanks for the tip

Very nice
It does look pretty amazing! I might give it a whirl this weekend when I get paid.....still worth getting.

Price is a bit high but I took the plunge and I believe it can only get better love it so far.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.

I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

I dislike only one thing about it, the bubbles around the apps in the app drawer.

Me too, I hope this a beta launcher they should make it more sense like with a little bit touchwiz. And maybe a couple of screen transitions, vertical cube effect would look nice for the app drawer.

Try clearing the defaults on the launcher you're on in settings > apps > manage apps. Then just hit the home button and you should have the option to select the launcher.
Use an app called home switcher ... Free on market.

Agreed as well. The launcher looks extremely outdated and really ugly.
I liked it. Needs way more customization. It has no graphical acceleration though. Until they put that in it will be a fail in my book. Might as well use sense capped at 30fps.

Not a good software. I saw the screenshots and thought the 'minimalist' interface and design would be great but as it turned out, the launcher was slow, buggy and had absolutely no customization features (aside from changing the tab colors). The launcher felt sluggish going back to the main home screen and appeared to have no graphical acceleration. I had to eventually turn off the animation to get acceptable performance.
My advice? Avoid. Btw, I did not get a refund.
Definitely not usable in its current form. Its slow - if it was smooth as butter I would have kept it installed for at least a few days to try it out.
Also if they don't make this free for Samsung handsets I think that would be really crappy of them.

SPB Shell 3d

Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?
Thanks in advance.

That app is paid only. There is no free version.

Really? Damn that sucks lol. well thanks for the info.

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.
The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.
SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.
I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

This! For anyone running there screen at a higher resolution a 4x4 grid just does not cut it.
Also, not being able to resize widgets, really? This app is $15!
Ok so most of you dont like spb.
Is there any other app out there, thats better than spb?

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.
On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

Touchwiz density change?

Hey guys, so I changed my LCD density, but touchwiz doesn't traditionally play nice with it, does anyone know if there's a way to alter touchwiz to change as well? If you can see in the picture there's a huge gap between my apps and dock. I cannot move apps below the line they're currently on.

Oh yeah.just looked at it closer didn't zoom in before.I noticed it shows the home screen dots right below that widget.I would think your only option is to try that other apk. I could try missing the layouts of the stock one but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what that other one has.

Blackjellys rom has those dots under the dock instead of the top, it looks really goodb with low dpi. I wanna find out how thats done.

I found a solution to the question at hand.. Download the xposed module "App settings" and change the touchwiz home dpi back to stock and you're good to go!

[Bounty] $Fallout 3 Style Theme$

Ive been looking for a Fallout pip-boy 3000 style theme for a while now. Its basically why I created this account. I was thinking vault boy app logos in a pip-boy style menu bar or something. There is one for jail broken iPhones but i have found nothing for rooted androids yet. Ill gladly pay 15 dollars if someone can develop a solid theme.
Unfortunately I dont have enough posts to post outside links yet, but if you google "fallout 3 iPhone theme" You can find pictures.
Thank you in advance.

Wow thanks. Another quick question though, do I have to run this through another app such as or similar to Go Launcher EX? Because i found two other themes but they both require me to run through some other app and the theme isnt changing the actually home screen of my phone, just the appearance of the application im using the theme through.
Ill give it a shot though, thank you.

Little help with Slim Bean rom interface

I downloaded the Rom Slim Bean.
So far I'm loving it.
Now I believe this rom interface display is smaller, the dock look smaller, the battery status icon hour and the rest of them. The text is also smaller and I have no idea how to increaze the interface overall size. I know there is a text size option but it's not what I'm asking.
The problem is that all the themes from the app THEMER won't be adjusted correctly how they should. For example: One of the themes loaded and it was more to the right and the icons aren't place correctly and it interfere with different actions.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this small problem?
Thanks.
NOTE: Forgot to checkmark the QUESTION little box. -.-
