This is basically what I've been using for months now. I don't change things when I get it like I want it. But I found an icon pack that I like.
Update: my old setup was a UCCW widget. For my new setup I took the homescreen from UCCW, set Holo Launcher to a 9x5 grid and set it with regular app icons. This is a much more stable setup than the full screen widget was.
