LauncherPro docks and icons?

Hey, i just wanted to start a thread about LauncherPro themes. i change my phone's appearance alot so i wanted to see other people's ideas. please post ur dock backgrounds and app icons! here are screenshots of my phone
btw, im using lockbot pro for the lockscreen

Here's mine.
Only the main screen here -- found some nice, minimalist icons. Not using an icon background atm.
Anyone have good sources for high quality icons?

Hey - any reason you're using LockBot for that lock screen? You could get the exact same lock screen without needing the extra app by simply removing the "HtcLockscreen.apk" (if you're rooted, of course). Check around the Themes area for more info about the vanilla lockscreen.

I know this isn't really launcher pro, but I ripped the launcher icons out of here to use with LP.

I recommend you don't remove the HTC lock screen. From what I understand it will screw up the alarm clock.

No Lock is an app that does a great job of disabling the HTC lock.

Here's a few I've put together. Red dock by prodigy2007.

Here's what mine looked like.

Do Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets work on this phone?

I can't get the clock skin to work. It doesn't display the skin.

Use SPB, runs real smooth on this phone.

I'm using Beautiful Widgets. No problem.

i agree

I said above I'm using Beautiful Widgets. I forgot to add I'm also using ADW. It's either a conflict with an ADW setting or another app.

Beautiful Widgets seems to take a little bit to apply changes on the G2X (I'm using ADW EX). If you apply a skin and you don't see it take effect immediately, go do some other stuff on the phone and then check back in 2 minutes. It should be good.

I'm using ADW launcher, works great with no problems.

Beautiful widgets works fine using Launcher Pro. Took a while for the weather location to sync at first, but is fine now.

sorry
i didnt stae i wsa trying fancy widgets for him. and it didnt give me any option other than 1 skin for both the clock and weather no download option. so it might just be the version that is up now.

By the way, Fancy Widget Pro is free on Amazon right now. I got it to work but download is very slow right now.

[Request][App] Flipclock (It's not exactly what you think)

Hey guys. I'm in search of an animated flip clock, identical to the one found on HTC devices. After hours of looking around, I've decided that there is not one out there that flips AND looks just like the HTC one. However, after playing around with Better Alarm Clock Pro, I found that it has a working flip clock built into the app, but it cannot be used as a widget. This brings out the question: Can this portion of the app be ported so that it is a widget? I am rooted, on an Optimus V running Stock ROM with everything stipped, if it matters. Thank you.

Just use fancy widget, looks and flips pretty much the same

Fancy Widget with the H7C skin looks almost exactly like the sense flip clock.

Go weather's htc style widget looks close too. Just download go weather and then the skin for the widget.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

He wants it to flip too. Like the animation. This isn't currently possible according to fancy widget. It is in the FAQ on their site.

Fancy Widget Pro is quite good to pretend as HTC Sense clock, Retro Clock Widget is an alternative for simple flip clock

I believe the flipping animation is part of Sense UI... soo you can't exactly replicate that.
Anyways I understand it'd look cool for the first hour or so when you're looking at your widget to flip..
you'll forget about it later, and it'll cause to be nothing more than a battery eater.

I own fancy widget pro and am using the h7c skin, but it doesn't flip. Better alarm clock pro has a working flipclock built in and I just want to know if it can be ported?

Hello? Surely this is possible?
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App

Try a LWP instead of a widget search the Marketplace for "Live Wallpaper Flip Clock" by Sergey Golovanov it is not bad and may accomplish the effect you are looking for.

Thanks for the reply, RifRaf, looking into it at this very moment. But my original question is still not answered. PLEASE can anyone tell me if it is possible to port it. I don't know how to develop apps or scripts or any of that stuff. All I know is that the flip clock is there, within the app, and I just want it on my homescreen.

The flip is part of htc's framework. Its not part of androids. Theres no way to make it work.

well I know I sound like I'm a dumbass here, but I know that the stock android system is capable of animated Widgets. I've used a clock with rolling animation, so I know that animation is possible. I also know that better alarm clock pro has the HTC flip clock. How can it not be possible to animate the flip clock as a widget? All of the image files are there, it just needs to be coded or scripted or whatever (I'm not programming inclined, obviously). If anyone can make a widget out of this, I would be happy to give them a few drinks.

Look, if I had several hundred dollars to throw away just so I could get a damn flip clock....I am fine with my phone how it is. The flip clock is 100% possible, there was a working flip clock posted earlier in this thread. It just needs to be themed to look like the htc one.
I have my entire sense theme put together, I just need this flip clock widget to happen, so I can make it complete.

It doesn't really look like HTC Sense, but it flips...
Try out "Animating Flip Clock Widget" - it's free on the market. I'm sure the apk could be modded to look more like the Sense clock.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized the link posted earlier was the same widget. Oh well... but yeah, I'm sure it could be modded, but making it look exactly like the Sense flip clock, including weather, the dark background behind the tabs, etc... might be difficult.

How do YOU customize your lockscreen?

I was wondering...for you guys on stock ROM (unrooted), is there anything cool/interesting that you do to customize your lockscreen?
Or is it just too wasteful in terms of RAM usage and battery life?
If you do anything unique besides default settings for your lockscreen post it here! with a screenshot too!

Go Launcher EX VS ADW EX

Alright, here's a short, crappy head to head review of the two launchers.
I'm on Valhalla-Final ROM, which has a UI based off of ADW. I started out using Go Launcher, which over the past two months, has seen major updates with new features and improvements. It's probably the most customizable launcher I've used until now. It's definately no slouch, and the coolest thing, to me, would be that you can take bits and peices of each theme you download, to piece together your own. For example, I wanted a green and black theme, but none of the ones I could find met my needs completely. So, I downloaded a girly theme that had a green dock background, and another theme with nice icons, and another theme that had great backgrounds, and pieced them together. GREAT! It's smooth, and the launcher has many plug-ins available to enhance your ability to truly customize your phone, such as Go Locker, and Go Weather.
Anyways, a couple of days ago, I decided to check out ADW Launcher EX, to see if it molded to my ROM better. I was so surprised! ADW Launcher, in my opinion, blows Go Launcher out of the water! It doesn't have as many screen transition effects as Go, however, the in-depth customization is far deeper. Hidden dockbar is great, as well as the NUMEROUS icon custom options. As far as I know, ADW doesn't have any plug-ins to enhance the experience. However, I've found Widget Locker to be far more superior to Go Locker, and I use it in it's place. Themes for ADW are just as plenty as Go, but themes in ADW seem to blend better, and provide more eye and finger candy. A person can get lost inside the settings menu of ADW, and that's a good thing for folks like us.
Verdict:
Go Launcher - Great launcher! Perfect for those looking for freebies. Great customization. Plug-ins.
ADW - For a couple of bucks, you get a highly customizable experience, Definately worth it!
I deleted GO after messing with ADW for 10 minutes. The only thing I miss about GO is the triple dockbar. ADW is still cool, with the 'hidden dockbar.'
BONUS!:
A few apps to add for more customization:
Simi Folder
UltimateFavs Pro
Widget Locker
Clockr
Beautiful Widgets
If you haven't heard of any of those apps, YOU MUST CHECK THEM OUT!
If this helped you decide on your launcher, hit thanks!

Yea I bought adw ex 2 yrs ago and never looked back.

I've been using GO EX since ever and I think it's taking a lot of RAM and I don't like all the latest updates, however I didn't find any other launcher that allows you to:
1. Rename every home shortcut to any name, any language.
2. Set up any icon you want - by theme or even jpg image.
If you find such, please let me know.

Been using adw ex since I caught it on sale during the 10 sale...
As for the renaming home key, I'm not sure exactly what that means, if you clarify for me I'll try. But it does allow you to change icons (theme pack or otherwise) and rename them as you please

The poster above me is correct. ADW is just as customizable as GO, maybe even more so. Try it.

I prefer Go- Launcher....It just seems smoother on my SGS4G. I've also seen a few threads on XDA suggesting that the developer has abandoned ADW Launcher EX....not sure if its true though.

I stand by that creed as well!
Seriously, skeptics...Try the paid version of ADW! You won't regret it! When on your home screen, press the menu button, then press 'More', the 'ADW Settings', then 'General Behavior', then go to App Drawar, select type, and choose 'Vertical 4D'. It's wicked!

They're both great launchers, I wouldn't say adw is more customizable though. Something I always liked about go vs adw was the ability to change your icon to any custom image, such as a downloaded picture. The hidden dockbar of adw is nice, but does nothing other launchers scrollable dockbars don't.
I actually use zeam though. Its not as customizable as adw or go, but it still has more customization than alot of people realize. And I like the minimal size compared to others.

I'm pretty sure you can change your icons in ADW now. I'll double check. I'll have to check out Zeam.
Anyone have anything similar to the few apps I mentioned, yet cooler?

Yeah your right, you can use any image for icon now. I just downloaded the updated (Dec 11) version.
Now the only option its missing that I like is the option to have app drawer automatically reset to top of page every time you open it. I hate opening my app drawer and starting anywhere besides the top.
Give 360 launcher a try, its kind of cool.
Then of course there's the famous 15 dollar launcher, spb shell. Looks cool, but not 15 bucks worth for a launcher.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I have to agree with you on spb. Looks nice, but there isn't that much customization in it. Like you said, definately not 15 dollars worth. I think it would lag like crazy on our device, anyways.

I tried a pirated copy of spb just becuz I wanted to make sure I'd like it before I paid that much for it and I'm glad I did becuz it definitely is not worth $15.00
In my opinion its not worth more than a couple bucks.
Its not very customizable ....I didn't notice any lag.
My opinion is adw ex is top knotch .
Only thing I'd like to see is the option to have a transparent background in the app drawer or an option to change the background with a pic
