I'm using an Android home screen app called Lightning Launcher that gets away from the fixed grid concept. I think it works well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm5ldC5waWVycm94LmxpZ2h0bmluZ19sYXVuY2hlciJd Hope that excessively long URL survives email systems, or you can just look it up in the google app store. Just putting that out there FYI. A fixed grid is not the be all and end all of UI concepts for such things. Android does know how to deal with different resolutions. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
