How to increase icons size on Android Home Screen

Question

I am trying to make changes to default Android Home Screen  like changing cell dimensions  number of elements per row etc  and wondering if there any way I can change apps icon sizes placed on the home screen   I know that platform takes care of picking up the right dimension image from ldpi  36x36   mdpi  48x48  or hdpi  72x72  directory based on the screen density  but I would like to know if there is any way to increase the icon sizes when application icons are put on the Home Screen irrespective of the screen density

Unless you write your own Homescreen launcher or use an existing one from Goolge Play, there's "no way" to resize icons.

Well, "no way" does not mean its impossible:

As said, you can write your own launcher as discussed in Stackoverflow.
You can resize elements on the home screen, but these elements are AppWidgets. Since API level 14 they can be resized and user can - in limits - change the size. But that are Widgets not Shortcuts for launching icons.

If you want to change settings in the launcher  change icon size  or grid size just hold down on an empty part of your home screen  Tap the three Dots and there you go    From  https   forums oneplus net threads how-to-change-icon-and-grid-size-trebuchet-settings 84820   When configuring the phone for first time I saw something about a grid somewhere  but couldn t find it again  Luckily I found the answer on the link above
