Is there a way to increase the grid on the home screen using Xposed as the framework? In other words I would like to increase the number of Icons and/or widgets in my home screen without loading a different ROM or using a different Launcher.

Is there a module that can do this?

My device is a Samsung S4 Mini.


Thx
 
Thank you for the input Lucky, but the notes state that this is not compatible with "vastly modified by device manufacturers". I am using a Samsung S4 Mini.
That disclaimer is just to advise people that not all features will work with all devices, and that no assistance will be offered for non-supported devices. The functionality you're after may still work though. Failing that, you could try Wanam Xposed.

You can define up to 7 rows and 6 columns on the stock launcher using the Xposed module, Gravity Box [KK]. The Jelly Bean version offers similar choices.

Lucky....I have Wanam Xposed, and I installed Gravity Box, but I cans see where I would be able to increase the number of Rows and Columns. I also tried the GEL module, but it wont work with TouchWiz. Any Ideas?

Or If anyone knows where in the system the settings are, let me know.

Thx
