change default apps in spb 3.5 - General Questions and Answers

i have a samsung omnia 2 and have spb installed everything is great, but i would like to use some of the default samsung apps instead of the default windows or default spb. So for example is there a way so the alarm button launches a different app such as the samsungg one instead of windows default?
I would like to do this for sms, contacts, email missed call, voice message etc. I like the spb icons since they tell me how many messages or emails i have but hate it loading the default windows apps when i have such touch friendly samsung ones.
Or is there is a simple way to change the icons, that way i can add the apps i want and just change the icon so it looks the same as before and shows the notifications of call/messages.

I don't think there's a direct way to do that, but here's what I do. I installed the MobileSense theme for SPB 3.5, then placed the messaging, alarm etc widgets on the screen. Then, I added an application shortcut to my desired messaging app. Then, I changed the skin of the messaging app to a transparent one (available in MobileSense automatically) and placed it over the SPB messaging widget.

Moved as not theme release.

HTC Home launcher icons

Quick query, i noticed that there are several PNG files that come with the plugin, for internet browser, comm manager, tasks etc that fit in with the built in default icons of the launcher.
Has anyone managed to use these? I know in the registry under the different apps in the lancher there is a value for "iconpath" however this only seems to work when the the item is on of the built in types (like change brightness, or rotate screen) rather than something added from the start menu.
Many Thanks

SPB Default widgets links

I have a samsung omnia II and installed spb which the mobilesence theme. Everything is just prefect except for calander and clock.
What i want to do is have the mobilsence agenda open the samsung calander (schedule.exe) in stead of the winmo default. The same goes for the clock and if there is a way to get it to show the alarm time as well when using the samsung clock.
I was able to change the text messages icon to open the samsung messaging app. I know i can just put a bunch of transparent icons over top of the widgets, but it will not work for 1 it still will not show the alarm time and 2 for agenda when you click it, it opens the entire week which i will loose. I would think this should be just a simple file edit and have it point to a different exe??

Adw notifier: how to get notifications to display on folders and icons in folders.

On my SGS2 I am running adw launcher EX with adwNotifier.
I have set up a folder on my home screen with my messaging apps in it, sms, whatsapp etc.
when I receive a SMS, the sms app on its own gets the notification, but the shortcut in the adw folder doesn't.
is there away to make the folder have the notification bubble on it to reflect how many notifications are inside it.
I have attached a screen shot to show what I mean better.
Any tips?
Thanks in advanced for reading, Mark

Develope Me an App for 20CDN

I'd like a launcher made.
Make it so I can pin 4 open apps to the home screen, and if I dont choose to, automatically have it so the 4 last used apps are pinned.
Swiping to the left opens a unified notification and messaging inbox. Facebook, Text, BBM, Twitter, Skype, Outlook, Gmail.. ect
Swiping up and to the left from any application open the unified inbox
the launcher would have the following screens
Left - Notifications and messaging
Middle - Pinned and running apps
Right - All applications, no need for an app tray.
Material design.
Is this at all possible?
