Hi everyone. I'm trying to get rid of the program names under the icons in the program launcher tab. I've seen some shots showing this around the forum. Just trying to fit more icons to our "small" screen . Thanks.
Hello,
I am creating an adw theme and i added an icon and dock pack to include my custom docks and icons and they are showing in
UI settings>main dock>dock backfround>custom>mytheme
and after tapping on it error comes saying
Sorry
the application has stopeed unexpectedly.please try again.
this happens both in icon and dock pack.
plz help me
title pretty much says it all.
i was wondering if there are any themes that have a black notification bar instead of the ol' white one. im currently using GO Launcher theme and i am rooted.
as for the second part: i wanna change my icons in the app drawer to different icons. like when u pull up the drawer and see all system apps and other apps. is there a way to change those icons without having to apply a theme?
I love MIUI. I love the look of the menus, I love the lockscreen, I love the statusbar, I love the browser, the music app. I just don't like the launcher. So I use Go Launcher Ex.
But I also want to change the icons. I want MIUI to use the icons that are in the .apk files, the default icons. Now MIUI uses their own themed icons, and a square around non-themed icons. I just want ALL icons to look like they look on a normal android gingerbread phone. No squares, no theme.
I've searched a lot on the internet. So far, it looks like this is the best way to do what I want:
- Download a MIUI theme (.mtz) that uses "default" gingerbread icons, and apply only the icons of that theme in the theme manager. I found a theme called "Android 2.3" (you can find it by typing in "android" in the theme manager - online themes). And hurray, it works! But only in the MIUI launcher! For some strange reason Go Launcher Ex decided to keep the square MIUI icons.
So what now? How can I change the MIUI square icons to the default gingerbread icons? How can I tell MIUI to just use the icons in the .apk files, and not their own themed icons? I'm sure it's possible, right?
Hi
When I change the theme on ADW Launcher Ex, some of the icons does not change to the current theme, most notably the ones on the dock bar like the phone, contacts and messages icon. Weirdly though, others do change like the internet, calculator and maps icons.
I can manually create a new shortcut and choose the right icons from the theme icon packs. The missing icons is available in these theme packs but it will not change them automatically when I change the theme.
I also have GO Launcher Ex installed and when I change the theme on that, all the icons bow down to the power of my superiority and change to the current theme. No problems there...
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this.
Not all ADW themers theme the same icons. So when you install a new theme some of the icons don't change.
I would think that the contacts icon would change though for instance because all the theme packs that I have installed have an icon for contacts but none of them updates it with their icon when I change the theme. I know that I'm not the only person with this problem but I can't find a solution. I found a similar thread on samsunggalaxysforum but with no solution.
for the app's icons that should change, i've had to delete the shortcut and put it back, then it changes. otherwise, the icon hasn't been themed.
ok thanks. it doesn't work for me though. if i have york's blue theme active for instance and i create a new icon for internet, it uses the internet icon from york's blue theme but when i create a new icon for messaging, it uses the default samsung touchwiz icon. i can manually change it to use york's blue icon but when i then change the theme again, it still shows the york's blue theme icon and not the new one.
i just installed the same theme on my DInc2 and i get the same results as you. i suppose the switch was overlooked by the author, or it wasn't themed. i do see a couple "message" looking icons, but they could be for other services. i don't really know. but i don't use themes, so i am unfamiliar with alt icons. i like my ADW plain-jane. sorry i couldn't be more help.
you can download icon packs from android market and change icons manualy by clicking on them..there are tons of them on market if i remember correctly.
click on app on your screen > edit > change icon > from adw pack > solved!
thanks guys. i guess thats my only option then. i think i'll use go launcher ex instead because there the themes automatically change the icons and as i like to change the phone theme to suit my mood, it's just too much hassle to change all the icons manually. it's a shame though because adw seems to be smoother and quicker.
adw is preety neat...but i had same problem even when i was trying to instal some themes...most of the icons normaly changed...but a few system apps havent :/ i can recomend MIUI if u're willing to try it

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

i have actually already downloaded cyanogenmod so i'll give that a try first and when i'm tired of it i'll try miui.
Thanks. I installed MIUI v 4 based on ICS and been playing around with it for a couple of days. I like it a lot.
ADW Launcher did exactly the same thing on MIUI so it seems to be something that the developer needs to address.
