LG G4 Grid Size - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
On my LG G4 the Grid size for the Apps is set to 5 Apps horizontally, is there any way to change this to 4 Apps without installing a Launcher to do it, from what I can recall on my LG G2 & G3 there was an option to change the Grid size on each scrollable page to 4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think it's only available for the app drawer. Just go to the app drawer and hit three dots on top right corner then select small icon size. It will extend one more collumn for apps.

I could swear I had changed this to a 6x6 grid before rooting/rom and such but now it's stuck at 5x5, if anyone comes up with a way to do this without a launcher I'd love to hear it.
Still searching myself.
***Update***
Found it, G4 Tweaksbox for the Xposed framework that I already have installed, works fantastics, awesome 6x5 grid now with stock/lg UI.

Nova launcher and Flatro icons. I haven't figured out how to make the navigation bar transparent yet. The status bar is made transparent and KitKat icons used in place of the stock ones using gravitybox.

Scrap that, I've sorted the navigation bar transparency, there's a small glitch in gravitybox, the navigation bar won't go transparent until you have pulled down the notification bar once.

dpi back to 240
Dpi set to 240 and xposed framework app setting module fixed to make some apps display in tablet mode, like here in the settings app
also the home screen grid is 7x6 and perfectly comfortable to view.

How have you been able to change dpi settings? Is root necessary ?

Yes you do need root. Easiest way of doing it is by using an app like Texdroider DPI, available through the Play Store.
@terminal 7 good idea, changing the dpi.
root .. yep

yes root is required, various apps then deal with full system dpi change ie- ROM TOOLBOX which has an array of tools and is suited to newer roms, some older apps mess up jelly bean build.prop and cause boot loop so take care with the app you use.
for more control over individual app dpi just install the XPOSED FRAMEWORK and once installed go through the list of available modules that are downloadable from the main xposed app and look for APP SETTINGS module, you get a much better level of control similar to the way paranoid android roms let you change individual apps.
enjoy.

This is what I did currently.
I modded the lockscreen, so that music widget is transparent and (more important) those annoying white grips at the side, when you turn on the screen, are gone.
The Launcher is Nova 2.3beta with semi-transparent navbar, plus I modded the SystemUI.apk for semi-transparent status bar and swapped Back/Recent buttons.
Widgets are Anton's Kalender Widget, Gotasks (with heavily modded app and transparent widget) and Eye in sky weather.
Setup of Nova is no-Dock and 7x5 grid. Background is FiveWallpapers from market with 4 different pictures for 4 homescreens.

Thanks a lot. I am a kind of a newbie with all those things. Im a bit scared of rooting my moto G ans loose my warranty. I've already done this with my nexus 10, but idk, i need tout try... Haha
I was playing around with several icon sets, but they never support ALL icons which looks odd, so I keep the default icons.

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.

how to add more apps to the bottom of the screen

Hi, I want to add more apps (7 instead of 5) to the bottom of the screen.
How can i do that?
Phone: LG G3 CloudyG3 2.5 Android 5.0
P.S: The screenshot isn't mine.
Thank you.
Try Go Launcher EX. It has a 5 app dock and can scroll left and right if you want another 5 and another 5...

The stock launcher can't do this, you can search for one on the google play store, I personally use nova because its not bloatware loaded like golauncher
apex launcher

Check playstore for APEX Launcher. I've used it on Nexus 4, 5 and 7 and on the LG-G3 and Samsung Tab 8.4 -- very versatile and you have the option to add rows and columns to the display and and more icons to the dock with the option of sizing them to fit better. I can highly recommend it.

Anyway to disable the stretch icons on the LG launcher?

It drivers me crazy when I hit the edges of the launcher and the icons get stretched.
Is there any hack mod to remove this?
I just got the tmobile gpadx 8.0.
I would go to different launcher but then I lose the LG weather widget. Also kinda like not having an app drawer on the LG stock skin.

DPI Change (Home Screens, App Drawer and App Icons)

I have a note 10+ (SM-N975U1) and I am looking for a way to get my Home Screens, App Drawer and App Icons to follow the DPI change I make under Developer Options. When I change the DPI to anything other than the standard 410, everything seems to change with the exception of the home screens, app drawer and app icons. I was able to do this a few releases ago but I cannot any longer.
Any ideas on how I can get this to change without installing a different launcher?
Thanks in advance!

I had this issue with the Note 9 already, and seems that the stock launcher doesn't follows the DPI setting.
We had this issue with the official keyboard too.
I'm still waiting for a solution too.
