How to increase icons size on Android Home Screen?

I am trying t开发者_开发技巧o 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.

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.
