Need BIG Icons - Elderly Parent

[Garybr2012]

Looking for a way to make a few Big icons on the Nexus 7 for elderly parent. Skype, Facebook, Weather, PhotoBucket....that's it.

Tried dxTop but can't figure out how to make big icons. Thanks

AdwEX (launcher) has the option to scale the icons up to 150%.

Or you can use this app (its free) to do virtually the same thing for individual icons

also "desktop visualizer"

lets you create huge short cuts for apps, they are widgets, but you can use them to open any app or act as any shortcut or action.

I'd like to make the app icons in the quick launch bar much bigger. Big like they were before the 4.2 update.

Will the above apps/fixes work for this as well? Sorry to hijack the thread but it brought back my problem

Desktop Visualizer wont alter that sorry.

Most Launchers will let you resize icons (I use ssLauncher, make them full screen if you want). Secret is searching Google Images for large png files. Just download and put in gallery and replace icon with it. Can also use text to make it real obvious, like the word "Play" here launches media apps:

PS: Changing app drawer grid to small like 3x3 will make LARGE icons there, with ssLauncher you can make dock any size you want.
