Displaying option menu as grid-style in Android 4.0.3. is not working, because you may used @android:style/Theme.Holo for your application. Menu of Theme.Holo was set for displaying in list-style.

The solutions are:

  1. Try to use another theme such as

@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar

instead of @android:style/Theme.Holo.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar

  1. Or if you want to use Theme.Holo only, then try to create a style for menu in values/style.xml. References: see styles in Android Framework.

Hope this will help!
