Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

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.

DPI

Any way to change the dpi on tw roms these days? Love tw but what a waste of a large screen!

Search xposed installer/apk.

Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning

There's not only the Control Center but many other iOS style apps by Hi Tools /Hi Dev on the Play Store. Just trying the CC, Hi Launcher and Settings... It's pretty funny, but to be honest: if I'd prefer the iOS look then I'd buy an iPhone and while writing i find the Control Center a bit annoying, as it interferes with the space bar of my keyboard.. But still a good find buddy, thanks for sharing.

You do know that, you can adjust the height n width right? I made it really low n wide so you just swipe from the bottom of your screen leaving you with the space you already had.

People can be haters. However... This is quite an amazing app. Just the fact that you could bring the same stuff #iOS7 is so proud of, is amazing. Great job! You are very talented and some of us do appreciate your work!
Keep it up!

Thank you @felfex

This is another iOS7 theme that I accidentaly bumped into.
Guys, you really need to do yourself a favor and download this great iOS 7 theme.
I have it since yesterday on my Huawei P6 and I can't stop playing with it and looking at it.
I've never seen somebody did a such a great job in customizing everything.
And when I say everything, I mean you'll be blown away how this looks like and also how everything works so smoothly.
This looks like you literally have iPhone 5 on iOS 7 with the bigger screen, widgets, no restrictions and with everything that the iPhone should've had in the first place. He even took the font from iOS7
Everything is so thorougly, deeply done and so proffesionaly that I'm really surprised that is free.
This guy really deserves all the praise he could get.
h t t p : / / v k .com /modder_hrom
(just get rid of the empty space in the link)
Just go and download and you can thank me later

update please
Can the menu button draw up the settings for the launcher finally and can you add a widget page option to the settings I mean it is android if you do that its perfect or if not do you or anyone else know an iOS launcher that has those features?

Looks very good but the p6's lack of physical button makes me sad

Great thanks :good:

Hi ! I Have some issue !
1- When the option "animation on resume" is set, and I go to the homescreen, if I push the home button again, I mean AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE ANIMATION, the screen is empty ( nothing except the wallpaper)
2- Also, my wallpapers are strange, it seems it's in 256 colors, is there anybody else in the same case ? I think it's done in purpose tought , to make it smooth
3- Contrary to iLauncher, I mean the one in the appstore (not free), when you open the app, the transition/animation (zoom) start in center of the screen, and not on the app icon that you choose (contrary to iOS too lol)
Can you fix them ? Thanks !

Any way to enable tablet ui?

Like in nexus 10 or paranoid android rom. Status bar with nav bar in one place. For stock 4,4 or cm 19,2 stable. Thx!

As of now there is no way to get tablet ui on kitkat. Google apparently removed the code. In previous versions the tablet ui was still there just not being used.

What about cyanmod 10.2 based on 4.3?

Even the new 4.2 for nexus 10 doesnt have tablet ui anymore

Apex launcher, and no doubt Nova, allow you to combine the Nav/notification bar for a slightly tabified ui. They also allow other config options like being able to disable the dock and/or the notification bar for a full screen display.
You could look into Xposed modules for changing DPI, but I have no idea how those work with kitkat.

Sorry, I forgot that setting in Apex only disables the dock and puts a persistent search bar at the top. Not very tablified.

Since I accidentially updated to a newer CM10.2 I miss my TabletUI and even more since I saw the new ipad mini retina this weekend. I would do it on my own, but I don't know how.
Please somebody who did it in the past post an TabletUI update for the stable CM10.2 or give me some hints how to make this patch on my own.

Just would have include all the the code google removed.
But the best would be to bid farewell to this relict of the past.
(Tablet UI is now dead for more than 2 years so let it rest in peace.)

Ok, I understand. But I don't want to give up! Why should I buy a tablet with super high resolution and then waste the space with useless notification bars? I made a tabletUI Update for the stable CM10.2 for DEB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48538860&postcount=104
We will see what the next Android Update brings...

You know that Android 4.4. introduced the immersive mode.
Developer just need to use it in their apps.
