Quick question

Really quick could someone tell me what I need to change icons on the home screen not the dock.
Thanks in advance.

Unpack the APK in question, replace the icon PNG, resign, install. -- Don't forget to uninstall the old.
You could also install a custom launcher and use a custom icon. -- Far easier.

Find a aftermarket launcher. Launcher pro, adw, are a couple of the good ones. Once you have these search the market for launcher themes. Most of these themes contain icon packs. Hope that points you in the right direction.

I already am using launcher pro but I haunt really been able to fine themes for it. I've seen a lot for adw but I really enjoy launcher pro.

Then change the shortcut icon. Make a custom shortcut and change the icon.

Launchers?

Anyone else have a rooted phone but not a new rom and use a custom launcher?
I have tried most of them, but have narrowed it down to Zeam(which i use on my nook color) or Go launcher - what are your favorites? I like the theme options on Go.

What does a new ROM have to do with a custom launcher?
I use LauncherPro. I've heard positive things about GO and ADW.

Nothing specific just that I wanted to make it obvious I do not have a custom rom as sometimes that will change the basic home screen anyway.

Yeah the ROM will also have a custom launcher, but if you put another custom launcher, it will look the same as without the ROM. Doesn't matter if you're rooted, either.

Im using stock deodexed rooted with launcher pro

LauncherPro has been the most stable and snappy for me.

i started using MXHome, it is a regular launcher for the most part with some really nice features. A full 3d home cover along with what MX is calling a "smart" appdrawer. It allows you to put your apps in alphabetical, sort by category and other options. I am currently using the glass theme and it is really nice. Check out this vid on YouTube to see some of it's features in action:

I like this look.

I prefer Go Launcher with the themes and app drawer transition effects and that it has running apps and recent apps tabs in the app drawer.

Using zeam launcher, very nice app and low memory use

Using Zeam Launcher for low memory foot print, and has most of the functions Launcher Pro has.

Go Launcher is no doubt my favorite, nice simple features...everything seems to make sense....and that's after trying Zeam, Launcher Pro, SPB (another favorite but I get tired of the flashiness after a while), and adw is nice also.

Launcher pro style icons

So, I've been searching all over xda to no avail, so I'm throwing this thread up to see if by chance anybody knows where to find what I'm looking for.
When I had my captivate, I ran setup for a while that was basically all black, and I used an icon pack that I found that was basically a ton of icons in the style of the launcher pro icons. I'm talking about the basic, frosted glass, very minimalistic style icons that launcher pro uses in their dock. However, it was a huge icon pack that had icons for many market applications. The icon set was also compatible with desktop visualizer.
Anybody know where I can find these?

Check custom launcher icons in the market. See if that is what yu're after.

[Q] Flashing a launcher?

Is it possible to flash a launcher to be the default launcher? (Looking at AOSP Laucher - (I'm looking to get a launcher of that style not necessarily that launcher)). I currently have that launcher but it is not "default" to me in a sense that it shows up as a task. If it is possible to flash a launcher, how may I do it?
I am more concerned about getting the style of bar on the bottom home screen so that I can also use it in landscape mode (Andromeda 3)
Thank-you for your patience and understanding, I'm a noob!

App adw launcher on market place should be able to do all that, it'll give you the option to make default.

You can flash a launcher, but you don't have to.
Launcher can be installed like any other app and set as default.

A launcher is installed just like any other APK not flashed. ADW EX is a great launcher. I personally prefer LauncherPro, there is a paid version and free version. For an easy way to switch between the launchers, you can download an app called Home Switcher which will allow you switch launchers from the app drawer. You can find it in the Market. Another great launcher would be GOLauncherEX which has a ton of skins and modifications.

Ahh thanks guys. I found a rom serendipity seven. It has my favorite launcher so I'm good to go!
Sincerely,
Your Noob.

[Q] ADWLauncher with stock ICS drawer

Using a Xoom and I'm redoing my hubs layout and the only one that it works fully with and that I want to use is ADW. Now that being said I also like the stock app drawer. Now I guess my question is, is there anyway to use the stock app drawer with ADW even if it's only a shortcut.

You can make it look like it, but you wont have the tabs.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Haven't used ADW in absolutely ages (GO Launcher is by far the best IMO) but set the background to black and set the transition to 'stack' if it's available. GO Launcher has all of this and it has tabs which you can customise the look of. Just sayin'

Try Holo Luncher based on ADW sources
