Can you make the size of icons adjustable in the default GOS launcher?

mmmm

AlanZ I have been using total launcher with no network. Its very customisable. Kiss launcher is open and privacy respecting and is also good and simple to use.

Total launcher requires Google Play, so no go for me. I did buy it once and it was nice, but it the way it draws icons sucks. Creates jagged edges.

However, upon closing an app it draws dotted lines behind the app icon, ugly visual artifact, it lingers for a few seconds.

Thank you for that! Wasn't aware this has been updated, now it seems very stable. I was using NeoLauncher, but it has waay too many bugs.

mmmm

AlanZ the store yes, or Aurora, but not services - in don't have either the play store or its services installed. But yes its the only place to get it I think. Haven't ran into anything I use it for that I need to pay for.

Unfortunately, Lawnchair 14 is buggy as well, just very frustrating experience with these overlays.

AlanZ if it's out of whack, you are out of luck

Clever fellow we've got here.

AlanZ don't ask for something you can't get, it just isn't there. Third party launcher is your solution.

AlanZ

Yeah, at this rate iOS might be my solution, unfortunately.

AlanZ I use Square Home, brother of Total launcher where you can use icons as a full image stretching across the whole tile, tiles support scaling and theming is literally infinite. iOS hardly for me.

mmmm

AlanZ you can't change the icon sizes on iOS either, so that rather nuclear solution to a fairly simple problem probably isn't going to work.

AlanZ

mmmm
They are not pea-sized, just the right size.

mmmm

AlanZ hold on, are you saying the launcher icons are pea sized with the standard GOS launcher? Because something's happened in that case as they're not for me...

[deleted]

mmmm no wonder, he is probably using grid size 5x5. If he changed it to 4x4 or 3x3 they'd become way bigger.

AlanZ

[deleted]
Of course I have tried all the grids, icons are way too small, period.

AlanZ

[deleted] If he changed it to 4x4 or 3x3 they'd become way bigger.

No, they won't. Try it and see.

AlanZ did you found any solution ? i'm in the same spot as you ! the launcher is OK just icons need to be bigger

AlanZ

Unfortunately not. The only alternative launcher that seems to work without glitches and is maintained and spyware free is Total Launcher. You can buy the key from the Google Play store and then uninstall Google Play if you so desire. The developer himself uploads the updates to the launcher on Apkpure:

https://apkpure.com/total-launcher/com.ss.launcher2

Of course if you keep sandboxed Google Play installed that would be the best way to keep the launcher updated.
