Anybody know how to change the size of widgets on 1 page?

I just changed my rom from Beast to Jug. And i find that the widges in the application section is relatively bigger than the Beast's.
Is there a way to change that to make them smaller??

in Go Launcher EX you can resize any widgets you like to any size you like
but in the stock TWlauncher you can only change the size of the widgets to what the widget itself allows

Sorry. I was wrong about the widget... What i meant was the icon size in the application page... Do u know how to make them smaller so that more icons will fit in a page?

that is known as Rows & Columns in Android
Most 3rd party launchers in Android will let you pick configurations of 4x4 (default) to any other combination like 5x5, or 4x5, 5x4, 6x6, etc
don't ever try to set it to less than 3x3 else most widgets wont fit
and you'll only get like 3 rows by 3 columns
the more rows x columns the more icons you can fit
i use 5x5 anything more than 6x6 gets tooo busy for a finger touch, obviously with some launchers you can do 7x7 or even 8x8 but chances are you'll launch the wrong App/Game because they are stuck so close together

Apex Launcher Question

Yesterday I noticed that the Apex Launcher was updated. After the update my screeens have half the amount of icons that I had on them. I think the update changed the size of the homescreens so less icons fit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I look at all the settings and I am not sure where this setting is...
Thanks

Are you talking about the homescreen grid size? Look for "desktop grid size" or something that would change the amount of columns and rows on the homescreen.
I don't use Apex, but it should be under something similar.

Every thing u will get under apex settings->home screen setting. Its a great launcher.
HTC wildlife S with CM9

change the grid size back to 5X4 in apex settings.

Yeah I experienced the same problem when updating to 1.2.1.
Fix is easy enough:
Apex Launcher Settings -> Homescreen -> Portrait grid set to 5 Rows, 4 columns
Maybe set it for Landscape mode too...
Fixes it.

Inconsistency on Zooper Templates Available in Different Launchers

I have been using the Epic Launcher on my Nexus 5, and as part of the process of setting up home screens in Epic, I created a pretty nifty home page/clock weather Zooper widget, using the 5x1 template widget as my starting point.
However, I recently decided to switch to the Google Now Launcher, and when I go to lay down the 5x1 template on my home page, it is not among the Zooper templates that are offered -- there is no 5x1 template in my Widget drawer when I'm using the Google Now Launcher but if I switch back over to the Epic launcher and I open up the widget drawer, the 5x1 template is there.
Why is this happening and how to get access to the 5x1 in the Google Now Launcher?

You cant that I am aware. Google launcher is only offered in 4x4. To combat this in main settings for the widget you can scale it down to fit the 4x1 size. A customer launcher with grid sizes you can set is almost a necessity for zooper. I for one use a 10x7 or 9x7 grid almost exclusively when using zooper.

Thanks -- I should have noted that I'm using xPosed Framework Google Launcher Settings which allows me to redefine the grid, which is set for 5 columns and 7 rows.
Is there a reason that Zooper isn't picking up on the xPosed configuration? Any way around that, if so?
Thanks again for the quick reply.

I do not use Xposed so I am not sure. Sorry.

FWIW, I went back and checked and the 4x1 widget template is not available either, only 4x2. Strange...
I have the paid version of Zooper but I tried downloading the free version to see if that might make a difference, but no cigar. The same templates for both...

Zooper widget placeholders

Hey Zoops...I have a question; I created some Zooper widgets and I have a minor problem and dont know what the work around is.
The widgets I created or themed have to be resized to fit my screen, and when I resize them it makes the Borders/Placeholder bigger than the actual widget and so what happens is that once I get them on my screen I have to send some"To the back" or Bring some of them " to the front" in order to be able to use them as created ( tap actions etc). Is there a way to fix this?
I am running NOTE 4 rooted, Nova Launcher prime, Zooper Pro. I tried changing the grid size in Nova launcher but then stuff got really funky...haha..Thanks so much!!!

Have you try "Scaling" the widget inside Zooper?

Thanks for the reply, I have tried Scaling them and it does help, I think the problem lies when I used APP Dpi in Xposed and choose a "finer" DPI.... I can get it where it looks good in Zooper by scaling, but then when it actually shows on the screen I still have to "resize" and it just doesnt fit well so I get a lot of wasted screen real estate...I noticed in Nova launcher that If I select disable padding it helps with other widgets, but the long press on my zooper widgets I dont get the option. If I did I would be golden.

Can someone write me how to set the desktop grid 6x7 or more and the application drawer to 7?

You can easily achieve these with Nova Launcher, no idea if it can be done with Pixel Launcher.

The launcher can be edited. I have a ADB Installer. My personal one is close to what you want but Google search has been removed. You are welcome to try it.
