[REQUEST] [ICON] I just can't find good icons.

I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!

Have you tried "Icon Pack - Minimum" ?

Yes. IIRC they were way too small.

I've been through all of those. Here's my problem:
I want a set of dock icons, like you'd use in Launcher Pro. When I find a random pack online, it might have a phone, but no Gmail, Voice, or SMS icon.
If I could find icons like the Launcher Pro defaults, but a solid color (no shading/shadows), I'd be in heaven.

how about this?

they're just default and I know you're asking for something like it but solid... but this just gives you more options.

[THEME} Classy Grayscale

Been browsing around here and following the skyraider and all of ID's threads and there was something I felt was missing from both the sense and vanilla roms. I spent a bunch of time on the regular android theming threads, and this is what I have created so far.
It's in no way a fully polished, and easily flashed or MM'd theme (i don't like the idea of using MM)
See the pictures below for what I've gotten to.
What it consists of:
LauncherPro Plus
Apps Organizer
SwitchPro
TAJM
BattStatt
Pure Calendar
Desktop Visualizer
MinimalText icons
LauncherPro icons (from their website)
Zegoe Font
Sweet Chicago skyline background
I used LauncherPro to get a more customizable screen layout and remove the notification bar. I also love that it lets me change the icons for the dock (and the swipe gestures are nice)
Apps Organizer condenses a lot of my used apps, and Apps Organizer lets you pick custom icons as well
I used to use extended controls and SMODA widget but i didnt like SMODA's colors, so i switched to SwitchPro because of its working 3g on/off (a must since I need my battery to last a full day while I'm on campus). You cant clearly make the buttons out on the bottom, but they are nearly invisible until i touch them and they become white. Might not be everyone's liking but I dont need to see them.
Pure Calendar was used since I rely on my calendar and gtasks, and it was transparent which is what I really wanted.
Here's where I could use some help
I would like to be able to change all app icons to grayscale without using MM. I realize this might mean replacing files within apks for programs which wont be entirely possible
I wish the text size for TAJM was customizable, its too small and I would like BattStatt and TAJM to better use the home screen real estate
Package this into something more people can use/ customize without having to download all of the apps seperately or even use the apps (flashable?)
Still need a new lock screen. I liked the rotary one but I dont think that will look as nice since it uses a gray transparent bg. If it could be fully transparent, just leaving the two buttons, and the music controls either be light gray for off and white for on, that would be awesome.
I'm open to ideas and criticisms, just spent a few hours this weekend trying to gather all I needed but if someone knows a better way I'd love to know.
If there is any interest in this, I could package up the icons and fonts (sorry can't do the apks since most are paid apps). Just need to collect the info for the creators so credit can be given.

Transparent Backgroud for Icons Label

Hey guys, I'm wondering whether there is a way to get rid of the icon labels background on the home screen and make it transparent. IMO it looks ugly. I tried looking for a thread that has a solution for this already but I could not find one, if such thread exist, please help direct me to it.
And anyone who might know the trick to achieve this, please share. Thanks!

If you mean riddance of the black background for the white text for the the icons...

There are 2 ways I can think of (and have tried).
===== If you are on stock TouchWiz: =====
Try the app "Desktop VisualizeR" (spelt exactly like that).
Market Link
Do note it's not the most "efficient" way of making transparent icon label backgrounds so it might be too inefficient for people that change homescreen icons on a regular basis. As in it takes awhile to setup all the icons but it works.
Steps:
1. Go to home screen > add widget > Desktop VisualizeR (1x1 SS).
then...
2. Click on the widget > select icon and action (in this instance you can just use an app "Icon" as the "icon" and the "Launch" action as "launch the app" > fill or leave "Label" > set "Label Color" as "Transparent".
Another thing you can do if you want all your future icons to follow a "template" of your choosing (e.g. I want all my future icons created using this widget / icon to have white text on transparent background), then go into your Applications > launch Desktop VisualizeR program > click "Menu" button on your phone > Settings > and now you can play around with the settings.
===== Use another launcher (such as Launcher Pro or ADW etc.) =====
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in the launcher settings that allows all created homescreen shortcuts to have a transparent label background.

I use the GO Launcher App. It solves the problem easily and shows the switch of the homescreens smoothly ;-)
My favourite launcher @ Maket

Thanks guys for your responses. I really wanted to achieve this while keeping the stock TW launcher but there just really isn't an actual mod or anything for this. Since I also wanted to be able to rename the labels, I ended up using GoLauncher EX instead. It's a very good alternative and yes, it is very smooth, especially with a kernel running at 1.7 Ghz.
If you use GoLauncher, you probably noticed that the icons on the dock are much smaller than the ones on your home screen. To make them similar, or in some, equal in size, I had to extract the icons I use on my dock from those .apk's and re-sized them from edge to edge to get rid of the margins because that is what's making them appear small on the dock. I saved the edited icons and put them on my sd card and just used the "Change Icon" option from GoLauncher to use the ones I edited. I also went ahead and made custom icons from folders so that they'll look better at least.
I have a screen shot of my home screen below for you guys to check out. Btw, I'm loving the G-Note! This device is just epic!

Sure. Just download the attachment below. Make sure when you select the icons for use, that you press "No Crop" so that they will display properly.

Thanks a lot, you save me much big time.

[Q] Valhalla (Black) dialer?

Searched, missed it if it's out there.
Does VB use a non-stock dialer? Just curious because none of the themes I've tried change the little phone icon... and the "black phone on black wallpaper" is hard for me to see. Would like the green phone back if possible.
(I realize this is extremely minor, just curious if it's possible, and what I need to do.) Thanks!

Check this out maybe you can use some of the apk's and push it to the system... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500701... follow the op for further instructions..

Cool thanks. There's no way to change the icon in the VB dialer? (I do like it better, other than the icon.)

Look at a different launcher (golauncher, launcher pro) - or the paid version of adw. You can change the icon to whatever you want.

Cool. So I got the paid ADW. Figured out how to change icons, which is COOL.
But I still haven't found a phone icon I like. I extracted the .PNG from the VB dialer, recolored it to dark green, re-saved it as a PNG and... ADW acts like it doesn't exist.
So now I'm trying to figure out if there is some requirement for icons of which I'm unaware. Seeing as all I did was change the phone color from black to green you'd think it'd be okay... :dunno:

If you have Titanium backup make adw system app. Also make sure its moved to the internal memory.

[Q] Nova Launcher icon theme modify?

First off, I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to creating themes, but want to modify one. I purchased the Blaque Icon theme set and love the look BUT there are a few icons they did not change. I opened up the file and noticed there are some icons I could use to replace the stockish ones. To give you an idea here's what it looks like:
The calculator, fancy widget, and a few on other screens mismatch the icons. How hard would it be to use an icon from that pack, I guess change the name so it forces the icon pack to use that?
This is for Nova Launcher Prime if that helps.
