For the life of me i can not figure out how to change the Icons in the launcher at the bottom. Is it even possible? Seems kinda silly if it isn't.
Go to the App drawer, hit menu, and then customize. You should be able to do it then. I don't have the phone yet but I recall that all you need to do is go into edit mode for the app drawer.
Thanks for the reply! I've been trying to figure that out all morning. Can't believe i overlooked it.
Yeah even the guy from pocketnow didn't think it could've been done in one of his hands-on videos.
does anyone know how can you create your custom icons?
This is now made in photshop. The plan is making 5 or 7 homepages based on Home, Applications, Games, Music, Weather etc etc with on each left side a screenshot which I will paste in a x10 png photo exactly.
Questions:
How can I put the shortcuts on my screen without a title underneath it, so just a clean text.png file which will be the shortcut?
Which Launcher can you hide the bottom dock (and notification bar) totally? Or do I have to wait making this till we have 2.1 and use Launcher Pro?
Which application do I need to put the Home.png X10.png and the verticalbar.png files as pictures only without frames around it or anything? Especially the vertical bar will give problems I assume...
Hopefully somebody knows the answers and I can work with it. When it's done, I will share everything here of course...It needs quite a few hours of photoshopping and making everything the right size, but the plan is already in my head, which is half of the job...
Cheers,
Arnold
ADW launcher You can hide the icon labels, app drawer (bottom dock) and the status bar (notification bar). You hide the app drawer by holding your finger on it and when arrows show up just pull it. The icon labels can be turned off in the ADW settings.
EDIT: As for your question about the big icons..that can be done through ADW aswell but only if you compile it as a theme or using another application like BetterCut (not free if i remember correctly).
The vertical bar...i suggest you put it on the background itself because the only other way would be to make it into a gadget but in that case you would have a lot of trouble with aligning it like that (even with the overlapping function from ADW). All of the mentioned can be done but will require patience and in some cases XML editing to gain the desired effect.
EDIT(2): I'm not sure if BetterCut crops the icons or allows for big icons...someone else will have to answer that.
Hope i helped
owh.. nice work and hope u success PollPixx.. Hope it will be nice as the same you created the WP7 for WAD in windows mobile. Its really a nice work.
all of your enquiry can be used in adw launcher (donut). it really a nice launcher.
1. u can hide the label
2. status bar can be hide except for the dockbar i dont know about this one as this is a must as u need it to launch the apps
3. for the pic widget this one i still dont have it but you can try bettercut as u can paste any shorcut and even internet history
p.s. Sorry if i give wrong info. still new in android world
I have adw already, did not know you can hide labels. I will start working on it and see if better cut
Does the job as I wanted...thanks for info....

ADW Settings -> Screen preferences -> Hide StatusBar
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Hide icon labels
Thanks I found it.
With better cut the icons will be small. I need some picture programm to add the bigger x10 picture on my screen. It does have to be a shortcut as well. Bettercut crops my icons, Anyone?

I think if you add icons through ADW (Hold on the screen and Add->Custom shortcut) it should give you an option to adda full icon or crop an image..
But i never tested this so i'm not sure.

have you tried desktop visualizer? it's a free DL on the market... I've seen ppl use it for the effect you want, minus the vertical line
good luck on the theming
Trying it now and it should work....
Start to look nice. Will post the screens when I am finished, probably during next week...

It is working indeed: I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT BLACK STRIPE IS ABOVE DIALER, IT IS NOT ON MY SCREEN....must be something wrong with the screenshot
have to fine tune the bar so it will be in the middle, the x10 picture is not as sharp as the original so have to define the exact resolution to get it sharper and find a digital clock which is smaller than d-clock widget, than make the other 5 pages.

have you tried digital clock by maize? I know that's smaller than our stock digi clock and has more customizing options.
I use now our stock clock but 1x1, fits perfect.
For some reason my phone is rebooting every hour all of the sudden.
When it finally starts up all widgets which i added disappeared and I have an empty homescreen. Never happened before till today...
Very annoying!
If i touch on the spots where the widgets were, it vibrates and I can swype them to the dustbin. But when i just tap on the place where the widgets should been, nothing happens! It is driving me nuts, what is wrong with the phone all of the sudden???
What I am doing now has nothing to do with root or playing in the settings, I just add homemade icons as shortcuts. I just finished HOME and APPS and now I can start all over again for the second time!! Damn.....Does anyone know or experienced the phone reboots all the time? If yes,what is the solution??
well, i give up, I reset the phone in factory settings and started all over again, just installing adw en desktop visualizer first.
When I add more than 2 pages of widgets the phone reboots all the time, it must be desktop visualizer, further on my phone is empty now. I come this far and than it crashes all the time, spend 6 hours and result is a complete empty phone
very frustrating, all my games and settings and programs are gone with no result on this theme....
EDIT: WHEN I PUT MY TELEPHONE ON THE COMPUTER, IT WORKS, SO SOMETHING IS WRONG ON MY SD CARD....
HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH IT AND HOW DO I EMPTY AND CLEAN IT COMPLETELY?
Edit 2: The icons will not load after reboot...damn....i am really lost now...
Edit 3: reboot again and now it says, "no sim", i think i ruined my phone somehow....HELP!!!!
try flashing with SEUS or pc companion, that should totally repair your phone.
regards DauL
Thanks..... i know, but how do you do that, without sim my computer doesn't recoginze my phone in pc compagnion. This is sooooooooo frustrating, something must be wrong on my sd card, if it's working and I say IF, first thing i do is formatting my sd card (first copy the files to the computer). When I do that, which files on SD card I have to keep on it to avoid my phone bricks again ???

Sorry to hear about your project, there's nothing worse than spending hours of work for no apparent reason. Can't you use SEUS instead without the sim card?

Just format the card and put it back in, the phone, I would imagine will just rewrite the essential files, I think. I've done it before and it worked ok.
thanks, I go now to a repair centre which is luckily in my town I called them, know someone who works there and he says he can reset my phone.
I will delete all files from my sd card and put music/video/pictures back on and put it in my phone than to see what happens, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully it will work out.
Maybe using shootme with the 1 click root system ruined it, i installed that recently or Desktop Visualizer, that's the other new thing on my phone. Since than the problems started...
I am guessing it was shootme, as Desktop Visualizer works for everyone if you read all the comments about it....
Still frustrated by the way

You could save yourself the trip and run SEUS yourself, if that fails then go.

I'm one click rooted too and haven't had any issues since installing ShootMe, so not sure it would be that.

Try without that and see what happens, it may well work for others, but if the majority of them are using solid built themes, and your just in the process of making/testing one, it could just be a compatibility issue that you've not yet pinpointed.
flashing right now, thanks, i will post the progress today....just in case other unlucky members have the same problem
Flashing seems to be okay, I lost of course everything i installed, but it starts up again.
Next move, only install ADW and Desktop Visualizer in 2 hours, first i don't want to have a reboot for 2 hours to be sure...
If it goes wrong again, I know where the problem was......
flashed it and everything is working again. Even my new project goes well after reboot...i thaught....but after 2 pages again it is restarting every minute and i have to flash again. so it is proven for me Desktop Visualizer will not work on our phones when you want to add several pages full of widgets....
Is there any other tool than desktop visualizer which get the job done?
Or a home programm like ADW which you can set a different wallpaper for each page! That would do the trick to, than I make everything in photoshop and add with bettercut blank .png files for the shortcut on the right places....
Cheers,
Arnold
My weather widget looks kinda strange anyone know how 2 fix
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Maybe you could make a screenshot and show what does 'kinda strange' means to you ?
Whats app is this?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
You've probably already done it, but does restarting do anything to it? Try removing-readding the widget. Other than that, yeah a screenshot would be best, or even a photo of it with another camera that you can upload.
i did upload a ss but cant have dunt it properly, any way i used the full screen widget and at the bottem whe it shows the the forcast for the next few days they have a white background and the little arrows on the right is the same little square boxes do you think mayby it could be a problem with the rom cleaner script.
in reply to the reboot it does fix it for little while then it goes back normal and there is another thing when this 1st happend i got a fc for the dragonplay widget of market.
will also get another ss when phone charged.
Does anyone know what this is and how to disable it or remove it from the notification bar?
Anyone? It wasn't there for the first day I had the phone, but popped up a few days ago and hasn't gone away since....It's starting to get annoying up in the status bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
HTC ONE S
its probably an app whats causing it.. Check which apps you have recently downloaded, And use something like AdAway or Adblocker too...
I get these all the time, Different stuff in the notification bar that wont clear away..
Locker Enabled at the notification bar
Hi There, I have the same issue if anyone out there would have the answer. please help.

hi, I had the same problem you write about... I solved it!!! ;-)
that notification is due to an add-on of "hide it pro"... " Addon #1 ".
if you have disinstalled "hide it pro", look for it in the play store and you find it in "Other Applications" and than disinstall it!
excuse for my english (...very poor!!!) try this way and if you have some problems write me!
Hey I ended up finding this out a few weeks ago. Thank you though! That was exactly it.

I have no idea what 1) or 2) are.
3) is possible but requires root.
4) Nope.. however GPS status and tool box will "boost" GPS lock speed.. and it doesn't require root!

1) You can't change the picture of a widget but you can change the picture of an app's icon. I'm using Nova launcher but Apex should be similar. Long press the icon and a popup will allow you to "edit" it and you can select the image you want that's in your projectglass.zip
2) Haven't used UCCW
