To clarify the difference between home and main screens: home screen is the folded shut front screen, and main screen is the unfolded open inside wide screen.
So before the most recent Android update was installed, I could select from a list of options for the number of columns and rows that you could place your app icons in. Depending on the selection, it would adjust the size of the app icon accordingly. So, for example, 4x4 would hold larger sized app icons than 6x5. The infuriating part has to do with the fact the home screen is like 2"-3"x4"-6" while the main screen is 4"-6"x4"-6" or double the size of the cover screen. Before the update i could independently set the cover screen to grid size AxA, and then independently set the main screen to grid BxB. The screenshot is just where they used to be located. Iver searched thru all branches of the settings menu tree and found nothing. Fuck I hate when updates remove settings options or a user’s freedom to customize shit. The worst part is I dont think I can roll back updates on android either🤬🤬🤬
OP why aren’t you using Good Lock?
Downgrades, downgrades everywhere.
Skill issue. The feature is still in Good Lock, an app that everyone with a Samsung phone should have installed.
This is called “Enshittification”
If you download Good Lock (https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock), you can still modify this through the Home Up add-on, along with many other tweaks and settings. I’ve almost managed to restore it to how it was before One UI 7 using these tools.
While what Samsung did isn’t ideal, at least there’s a solution for some of the changes at least.
It’s a great tool by Samsung, but not promoted as much as it should 🙂
(edit: screenshot for reference)
Why did they remove it as base feature and added it back as add-on?!?! WTF
People use the stock launcher? Try https://www.smartlauncher.net/
Edit: I just checked and doesn’t look like I can set different grid sizes between folded / open in this either.
I have ever since Nova sold out. Loved that one but I removed that immediately after the news came out. I don’t hate the stock Samsung launcher, but it’s left a lot to be desired.
Yeah I moved off nova to this. It took a bit to get used to it, but now I like it more.
I’m still on Nova with updates disabled. Tough one.
