I've tried adw, zeam etc but I don't see a means of changing the font size for the icon shortcuts. The default is a little small.
I believe I read spare parts will do the trick (not sure if it works for launchers), but I surprised this isn't a default option. Is this only the case with the nook or do stock android devices not have this option either?
You can use LCD Density to increase the font size but it will also affect graphics too.
There is no default option in the Android OS that I know of to change just the font size.

read the how-to work around issues post stickied on this forum. there is an explaination how to change global sizes. also launcher pro will let you change the number of columns and rows displayed so you can tighten up the icon placement.
Thanks. I know launcher pro will let you set the columns, but I want the fonts bigger, and maybe even the icons.
I assume LCD Density is a separate app?
And I'll look at the stickied how to.
ADW EX (that is the paid version, totally worth it by the way) offers this exact option if you have the "new icons" option checked. It works great for controlling both icon size and label text size.
Cool good to know. I like the screens I've seen of modifying the LCD density, but I don't like it affecting the status icon etc. I wonder if that's an issue with a stock froyo as well?

Well this particular status bar is B&N's, so that will be out of the picture once custom ROMs are ready for daily use. If custom ROMs use the AOSP status bar, I think it's designed for a density of 240.
A step-by-step guide to achieve the look:
First of all, a big thanks to GANJDROID for creating/finding the mock widgets (with the exception of the Google Books one, which I did); they really look great! And thanks to everyone on the forums for always trying to be progressive, whether it be with themes or development; everyone’s time and effort are much appreciated.
Ok, on to the guide. Some of you have asked me about my layout, and if you're checking this thread, you probably love the look of Honeycomb as much as I do. This is my attempt to emulate the general look and feel, while braver souls, like Spacemoose1, attempt to port the actual OS over for us. What you’re going to need:
- Patience
- Desktop Visualizer
- LauncherPro Plus
- Signals23's Clear LPP Widget Skin
- One More Clock Collection
- Organized Apps
- Perfect Task Switcher
- Honeycomb Clock
- Pulse News
- Minimalistic Text
- Folder Organizer
- The things in my zip
- More patience
Step 1:
Download the zip and extract the files to your computer or SD card
Step 2:
Clear your LauncherPro homescreens, and go to Preferences => Homescreen Settings, and set both Columns and Rows to 10, making sure that the Auto-Fit option is also checked. This will give you the most screen real estate, if you're not running a custom ROM or messing with the pixel density. I run K-Lean on my Tab, and the density is changed by default (180), so I have a little more room.
Step 3:
Choose a screen to be your default Home screen, and start working from there. First, change the wallpaper to the one I provided. This will give you the “dock bar at the bottom of the screen. Next, create a 2x1 One More Clock widget, with the background toggled off (in the application menu, hit Personalize, and when the window pops up, hit the Menu button, and the toggle visibility key should appear on the screen). Place this widget in the middle of the black dock. Create the same widget on each screen.*If you want to assign a tap action to the widget, go right ahead. I don't use one, so I turned it off.*
Step 4:
Now it's on to the blue indicators. They're obviously just static png images, but with a little help, we can get them to be functional, in a sense. Honeycomb uses a lot of interactive UI, and tapping on these indicators, on the Xoom for instance, will bring up appropriate information. I'm attempting to replicate that functionality as best I can. Grab a snack, a beer, or a smoke, because this is about to get tedious.
Step 5:
Using Desktop Visualizer, create a 1x1 widget. Tap it to bring up the options menu, and select the Choose Image button. Select one of the indicators (either battery or wifi), and it's back to the options menu. Where it asks for assigned task, choose None, and hit Ok, down at the bottom. Repeat this for the second indicator. Next, place the indicators in the bottom right corner; there's going to be a gap between them, and that can be corrected by resizing the wifi button, and dragging it to the right, until the widget box overlaps the battery icon (you'll see when it's right). After this is done, drag your clock widget over to the right as far as you can, and then resize it so it's as close to the wifi icon as possible, without overlapping it.
Step 6:
Now to give those dead icons some life! Long press the homescreen, and scroll down to Minimal Text. Create a 1x1 widget; in the menu, uncheck the background box, and scroll down and press Predefined layout. Select Custom Layout, and then tap the custom layout option in the menu. Long press each of the black boxes, and drag them to the trash can, so you have a blank slate to work with. Next, hit the green button on the right, and select Battery. Now long press, and drag and drop the Battery Level tile into the outlined box. Tap on the black box you just dropped, and select Accented from the drop-down menu that appears. Back out of both menus, and scroll down to the Text Style section and tap Accented adjust the font size to 8 if it's not there already, and back out of the menu. Under Tap Behavior, select Start another activity, and then select Activity directly under it. In the menu that appears, scroll all the way down, until you see Settings start to appear. Scroll through the options until you come to Settings- Battery Info (com.android.settings.BatteryInfo), and select it. You'll be taken back to the main app menu; just click Ok, and exit.
Step 7:
Resize the widget, so it's 1x1, and drag it over to the right, exactly above your battery icon. Now resize it, by dragging it down over the icon. If you did it right, the battery percentage should be just above the icon, and just below the top of the dock.
Step 8:
Creating the wifi widget is similar, except after you toggle the background off, go under the 'Orientation section, and set both the Horizontal block and Horizontal text to the right. From there, create your custom layout, like in step 7, only instead of using the battery percentage, choose the Static text option from the Misc menu. Tap the black box, and when the popup window appears, just throw whatever crap you want in there; we're not going to keep the text, but we need it to actually be able to see where the widget is. Again, choose the Accented option, and check to make sure the font size is at 8. Back out to the main menu, and click Ok. As before, resize your widget to 1x1; drag it over next to the battery widget, and resize it the same way (just drag it down). Once it's resized, tap on it to bring the widget modifications menu back up. Go back to the Custom layout section, and erase the text you put in there. Now, find the tap behavior section, and get into the selection menu; scroll back down to settings, until you come to the group of wifi settings, near the bottom. You're looking, specifically for the Settings- Wi-Fi Settings, with this specific intent, com.android.settings.wifi.AccessPointListDialog. Trust me, it was really annoying to find the right one, but it was worth it IMO. This option does not toggle wifi on and off; what it does (similar to Honeycomb) is display a popup of the wifi connection you're currently on, or a list of in-range wifi signals you can connect to. It doesn't sound like much, but it's this kind of information, and ease of access that 3.0 seems to be built to deliver.
Step 9:
Yep, you guessed it,repeat steps 6-8 on every screen. Patience young Jedi; if you've made it this far, then the Force is indeed strong with you (I have no idea where that came from; it's 6:45AM and I'm tired). Smoke something, eat something, get a drink, it's almost over.
Step 10:
Create a Desktop Visualizer widget 3x1, and select the Google Search widget image from the gallery. The action is...Google Search. Select Clear” from the Title field, and None from the Highlight Style field, and hit ok. Resize the widget by dragging it over one column, and down one row. Place the widget in the upper left corner of your homescreen. I have this widget on every screen, simply to keep with the feel of Honeycomb, so repeat on every screen if desired; if not, no big deal.
Step 11:
Follow the same method and create the Market widget, by selecting the App drawer image, and linking it to the market. Place it as far over in the top right corner as possible. This is a one-screen thing, no need to repeat. However, to complete the feel of having the Apps | + icon, long press in the dock space to the immediate right, and choose Change Shortcut. Scroll through the apps until you come to Organized Apps, and select it. When it asks which icon you want to use, select Custom Icon, and select the + icon from the gallery. You can repeat this on every dock (in the same position), if you use more than one, so that you always have access to the app drawer.
Step 11:
Now for the soft keys; long press the screen and choose Shortcut. Select Applications from the menu, scroll to Perfect Task Switcher, and select it. When the dialog box appears, tap the icon preview, and then select Gallery. Choose the glowing, blue icon that looks like two windows, one behind the other, and click ok. Repeat these steps for each of the three soft keys, linking them to Folder Organizer Labels or other apps. The house, I use for my Performance and Root Tools folder, and the arrow is used for my Productivity and Office folder, just as an example. Repeat the shortcut creation on every screen, and place them in the bottom left of the screen, with the arrow on the far left, then the house, and then the window.
Step 12:
That's pretty much it; you can apply the mock Honeycomb widgets, using Desktop Visualizer, linking them to the appropriate apps, and place and size your favorite LauncherPro widgets wherever you want. You can skin them by accessing Widget Settings, selecting a widget, and selecting a skin from the appropriate menu. There are &ldqu;Honeycomb skins in the market (some free, some paid), but if you check a Xoom layout, you'll see that the widgets don't actually have any edge glow around them; they're semi-transparent. I went with the full-on transparency, and used Signals' Clear skin (.99 i think), but his XTG skin is also pretty nice (it's too dark for this wallpaper though IMO).
If you use folder organizer, you can edit the Folder Skin by accessing preferences. Here's how I did it, and it came out great:
- Title Start: AA000000
- Title End: 656565
- Border: EE3351A3
- Background Start: 8b000000
- Background End: 8b000000
- Title Text Color: 586991
- Body Text Color: c4cbdb
*Note: I subsequently turned OFF the title and all text, leaving me with the app icons, on a semi-transparent, black background, surrounded by a really nice blue.
**Also, the weather widget in the dock of my Homescreen was created using Minimalistic Text. If you want instructions, just PM me and I'll get them to you.
#If I missed anything, just let me know, and I'll throw in an edit. Hope you guys enjoy this!

I must say this is fantastic work!
But
Maybe it's just me but I can't get any widgets near the dock of LP. I tried to stretch it in there but it won't go. I also tried just dropping it there but obviously it just deletes. I got everything else that I wanted to do packed down except that. How did you do it?
Would bumping up the DPI in build.prop make the bottom bar thinner, EG. More honeycomb ish
ok im trying to figure this out for my self as i am having the same problem with dock so it be nice if you would tell us how you did it thanks
Could you go through and correct all the markup that came with whatever word processor you used to write this? Or is it just my browser?
Can i do this on my htc hd2?Why you ask cause it looks awsome
Nope, it's not your browser fault.
OP can you fix it please, the easy way is to use
Code:
tag and then paste inside words from your PC word editor.
Thanks.

After playing around with it, I really don't think it'll have much effect. I had my density set at 180, and it didn't really look much different than it did on 240. Play with it though, your results may vary.

Hey, you can give it a shot... the lack of real estate on the screen is going to limit what you can do, and I'm not sure if you want to always be using your phone in landscape mode. But if you want to play around with some looks, absolutely go for it!!

Are you talking about getting Widgets close to the actual LP dock? If so, I believe I used a 3x2 Desktop Visualizer widget for the apps icon, and it fit with no problem in the top right corner (with the + as the dock icon). If you're talking about the battery and wifi indicators, that's a little tricky. There's going to be a gap between them and the actual edge of the device, since the dock can't be removed yet. If you guys (because I know someone else was having this issue) could PM me with the specific setup issue you're having, I'll be happy to troubleshoot with you.

Would you provide a flashable version?
It would be nice, I'm afraid to mess with it..
This is a fantastic little theme guide! Does take a while (especially with 5 screens). But overall, well worth it! Great work!

I'll see if I can get someone to code and flashable version for me. I'm not proficient in xml edits or framework mods, so I'd have to "outsource". I'm working on getting these things into a new theme, and some of the guys on the team may be able to help me out. I understand your reluctance though... it took me about two days of tinkering to get this layout done. I'll keep everyone posted, and yes guys, I'm going to fix the flaws in the OP... I'm still not home yet, but it's priority #1.

Ok guys, I think I've fixed the errors that were coming through in the OP as a result of my copy and paste from MS Word. Someone let me know if it's legible (it seems just fine on my browser atm).
*Any for anyone who needs troubleshooting... PM me! I know a couple of you were running into some issues, but I haven't heard from you. If you got everything looking right, then great, but if you need a hand, just let me know. I just don't want to clutter up the thread with individual troubleshooting advice.

I was running CM7 -197 build on SD card with ADW Launcher EX. Due to the know Market issue, I would change the LCD density to 160 dpi to regain the Market. Each time that I would do this, my screen would squeeze all the icons into the middle 3/4 of the screen leaving a gap at the top and bottom where no icons could be located. If I returned the resolution to 161, my full screen would return and my icons would be spaced correctly. This morning I loaded the -200 build which has the 160 dpi built-in and I am back to all my icons crowded into the middle of the screen.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, is there something that I can do to fix or correct? I have looked at all the ADW Launcher EX settings but see nothing that helps.
As a side note, I can run the ADW Launcher that comes with CM7 and everything is spaced correctly at 160 dpi. I do, however, prefer the icon and icon text settings that the EX version allows and would like to run it if I can get it to work correctly.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
this may be a long shot but try changing your columns and rolls...

Uncheck Density hack
Done!
I can't explain how long it took me to find that...
Thanks for these suggestions. I had not tried either one until now. Unfortunately, neither suggestion worked for me. I tried a reboot after unchecking the density hack but my screen is still showing the icon rows and columns in the middle 3/4 of the screen.
If I cannot find a solution I guess I will just stick with the regular ADW Launcher. I just wish there was a way to get the icons to be a little bigger. Maybe I will just step up the power of my reading glasses.
I have the same issue. I also believe it is caused by the screen layout, not dpi. My setup is 7 rows x 8 columns (looks better to me when switching back and forth between portrait and landscape). No change when I change lcd density, but if I add more rows, the gaps disappear.
btw, I've had density hack unchecked the whole time.
I don't mind it so much because my screen is pretty full anyway, the gap is a nice visual break.
Might try unchecking compatability mode.

I've always had that unchecked as well. The only thing I've changed that successfully gets rid of the gaps is having at least 8 rows.

I have 5 columns and 7 rows. As mentioned, I like to increase the size of the icons (and icon text).
I looked but could not find a setting for "compatibility mode". Could someone let me know and I will try that?
Thanks for everyone's help.
I would guess he means the compatability setting in Spare Parts.
I have the same issue. I have tired all of the above fixes... None of them have worked except changing the DPI, but that removes the market apps.
I am on Cm7 nightly 206 with the most up to date version of ADW ex. Does anyone else have any ideas? Even with more rows and columns there is still a gap of about 3/4 of an inch on both sides, or top and bottom depending on orientation.
Solved... sorta
The issue is definitely with ADW EX and the new fancy-pants dock bar.
The good news is that you can easily get your screen real estate back, the bad is that until ADW fixes this you wont be able to have your familiar 3-5 icon dock, you'll have to make the new "hidden" dock your primary

The new bar is still persistent when you scroll across all screens... I'll get used to it... heck, I might even learn to like it.

Wow!...Thanks! This does, indeed work. I would prefer the old dock or at least an option to have the old versus the "fancy pants" new one but at least I can adjust the icon and icon text size and not have the big gaps at top and bottom (or worse...a crippled Market).
To tell you the truth, I have been looking at the regular ADW icons for so long I might just stick with that. None the less, thanks for coming to the rescue. I had tried a number of different things but never found the solution. Great Job!

Thank you so much! I have been pounding my head trying to get this to work.
Hello Guys!
I tried making a Sword Art Online Widget Interface on my HTC Incredible S running on ICS.
preview is attached below. i cant post any links since im new sorry for the inconvenience
2 main applications I used:
Apex Launcher: available on google play
Glaeja : available on google play.
*Apex Launcher works for ICS and Jelly Bean only i think
I recommend installing Apex Launcher first
Apex Launcher setup after installation:
(Not sure this will work though, since settings are from my phone)
1. Download all the attached files with apex on it. Copy on sdcard. (extract zipped files)
2. Move apex_settings.bak to /sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher/
3. Open apex settings and go to backup and restore
4. Select restore.
Glaeja Setup after installation:
1. Create New Widgets on Home Screen. 1 4x1 Glaeja Widget for the hpbatterybar and 2 3x3 Glaeja Widgets for the bars.
2. Download the skins, images and font files and paste them to the corresponding folders found in /sdcard/com.gmail.kanitawa.glaeja/
3.Select the widgets on HomeScreen and click Load Skin, select the corresponding skin file.
4. Select None on the On Click option.
Notes:
Apex:
-Key Settings:
Number of Screens = 3
Transition Effect = None
Use Tablet UI Mode = unchecked
Minimum Scrolling Time = 2
Show Wallpaper = checked, Mode = Singlescreen
Glaeja:
-For the Name on HP bar just edit widget and then find the corresponding text with Shawn on it. Edit the Display Text. same goes for LV: __
-For Shortcuts of the bar, the shortcuts can be replaced on the Transparent Buttons found on the bar widgets.
There is also a video showing my work on youtube, it has poor quality but it satisfies it purpose. (again sorry for not being able to post links since im new)
Thanks guys! And I hope some people find this post helpful. Comments will be greatly appreciated.

Just a heads up. You can use any images for the icons, any images for the widgets/text/etc. Once you grasp what is happening and put a lot of time into it, your imagination is the limit.
I'll try to explain what is happening here, that I see. I have a similar "tabbed' style setup on my tablet. I'm using Nova and a quick one button tutorial you can easily do to see what is happening goes as so...
1. Press and hold blank spot on screen, press Nova actions, then press jump to page, and select page 2 (this will be 2nd from the far left of your setup, adjust accordingly). Now you will have an icon on your screen.
2. Press and hold the icon, select edit and you can replace the icon with any image you see fit. Now you have your "button". For example sake, lets say you have an icon/text that you want to have media stuff brought up.
3. Now on page 2, which should be blank (no icon), you will want to make the same 'jump to page icon' again, this time in a color of your choice, so that it looks "selected." Obviously this means you will have to edit/color your image/text as you see fit. I colored my "media" icon text, the color blue for example.
4. Next up, now that you have a colored icon on screen 2, making it look selected, is to fill up screen 2 with media stuff. You can use the images he uses, or just widgets already in your phone, or the above glaeja app that looks like it can be useful here. Your widget can be text that has click actions, that open up apps etc. It looks like the OP has placed the arrow icon on this page as well as to give it more of a this is what you selected look. The options are endless.
So then you just repeat that process with icons on screen #1 that jump to the other pages of you phone, that have been edited to have the content on them you're going for. It's painstaking, but hopefully I've made a visual for you that sheds light on what is going on and once you grasp that, you can make anything.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Essentially, you are going to create all of your screens to have the 5 "button" vertical layout (or however you want it to be, 4 buttons, 8, etc). Your main screen, they will be all white it color (again whatever color you choose) and swipe one screen to right, have the same 5 buttons vertical, but the one icon you want to make look "selected" have it yellow, in this instance and also on that screen would be the corresponding widget with the images and icons/text you want to look like it opened. How this works it when setting launcher to no scroll on wallpaper, and setting the button as a widget action to turn to page '2', it flings the screens to screen 2, where one icon is "selected" and there is different content on the screen (the widget, ie looking like it opened a menu). search on youtube for tabbed setup for android and you'll see setups alike.

For Stock-Rooted Only.
The purpose of this installer is to generate a custom module that can be flashed in Magisk App. It will have all the mods that were selected from the installer menu. You need to be stock with root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so. This will only happen once.
I internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors. The colored statusbar icons should.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
This mod uses the SystemUI Patcher Module Template by @Jai_08 By @cool_modules on telegram
Root required
ADB Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. ADB debugging Enabled
3. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)
4. Flash the SystemUI Base First. It provides the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.
7. Flash the "mymagisk.zip" in Magisk App.
This mod also installs a QS and settings background overlay option under settings/Display/Device Theme. There are a few QS tile color options with an option to change the settings background to black.
This is firmware specific. If a Pixel firmware update changes either the SystemUIGoogle.apk or Framework-res.apk, this mod will need to be updated. Uninstall this module before updating your phone.
As with anything else you flash on your phone, you run the risk of a bootloop. This might not be compatible with some other modules. Flash at your own risk.

Add am/pm to the clock and/or choose right side clock

Thanks! Just barely limping along, lol! Baby steps.
I'm not sure these are useful any more. I might post some stand alone mods if there's anyone interested.

Stand alone mods would be cool
March update has been uploaded.
Thanks for posting this! I haven't used your module maker before, but I just spent an hour reading older threads for the Pixel 4XL and 5. I see the mod maker has the ability to change system fonts. That is really the only thing I am after at this point. You actually helped me with a Magisk module back on the Pixel 3a. Is there any chance you could create a stand alone module to change fonts? The attached file is the module you created for Android 10, along with all the custom fonts I wish to use. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm happy make a donation for your time.

I put those fonts into a module installer. It will still relock the screen each time after the phone is rebooted. I don't think this will work without a systemui modification. I put a token PNG file in it along with your font if you would like to try it.

You are awesome! Can't wait to flash this when I get home.
Edit: Looking through your Module maker, I'm wondering if I need to designate a font as google_sans_clock.ttf in order to replace the clock font?

On 13 in product/fonts designate one as GoogleSansClock-Regular.ttf

Okay. Added a font renamed GoogleSansClock-Regular.ttf to \mymagiskFont.zip\system\product\fonts
I assume I don't need to make any changes to the mymagisk.zip file within the mymagiskFont.zip? Sorry for my ignorance.

No, you should be good to go.
Your module applied, no problem. Only real issue is I'm getting overlap with the lockscreen clock. Tried moving some fonts around to try another in place of GoogleSansClock-Regular. Results with same issue. Also missing the dash in Settings for Wi-Fi, but this has intermittently been a problem with this font for years. Hmm. Might have to play around with it some more later when I have more time.

Try a different font for the clock. Which one did you use?

I did try two. I tried the fonts named Roboto-Light and Roboto-Thin. Both are light versions of Helvetica, one is slightly lighter than the other. Both overlapped on the lockscreen. But both did, however, display the colon when the clock switches to a digital version when the user receives a notification on the lockscreen. I remember a lot of these fonts were missing that glyph back in the day too. So that's a plus.
I have to work a couple long shifts the next few days, but I will definitely try some other fonts when I have free time and report back. I really appreciate you getting me started with this module! Many thanks to you!
@Tulsadiver - I'm wondering if you have seen the overlapping behavior on the lockscreen with your custom fonts? I'm also wondering if the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular is a variable font, allowing it to change weights when the user interacts with the phone while the phone is locked (e.g., the double stack clock font is thin and then becomes heavier when the user engages with the device and the background wallpaper image comes into view). I'm thinking maybe my overlapping issue could be related to overwriting a variable font with a static font?
One another note, I'm still seeing what appears to be Roboto font within non-Google applications (e.g., Nova Launcher menu, Solid Explorer menu). I don't see this behavior with the same applications on my Pixel 3 running Android 10. I'm wondering if there is another font I need to overwrite... the only one I can see within Android 13, not present in 10, is RobotoStatic-Regular. Do you think this could be the font used for these app menus, and what do you think about replacing it?

I don't show any overlapping on the fonts I've used and the GoogleSansClock font and AndroidClock are used in mine. I typically use Roboto-Thin to replace them.
There are applications that use their own fonts. I don't see any problem replacing RobertoStatic-Regular though I have not.

Okay, so adding a custom font named RobotoStatic-Regular fixed my issue within certain applications (see attached image).
I also just took a look at the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular font, and it is in fact a variable or dynamic font. This could be related to my render/overlap issue. I might keep trying different fonts to see if it works properly with any of my custom fonts. Another thought I had was buying a variable font online and plugging that one in for the lockscreen clock. Thanks for your continued feedback!
