I didn't see any threads regarding this after a quick search, but I think I now he answer. How does one go about removing home screens from an unrooted, completely stock Transformer?
I assume I'll need to get a new launcher, new theme, or root my tablet.
Sorry if this is common knowledge, I'm just curious.
the honeycomb launcher doesn't have the ability to remove homescreens so you will need to download a new launcher such as launcherpro.

We need some more info. What ROM are you using? Did you remove the widgets yourself? If so, what did you remove them with?
Come back with this and we can give you options.
I had installed the super clean rom but reverted back to stock and installed launcherpro but win i go to add widgets it no longer gives me the option to for samsung

OK. That's because you are using Launcher Pro as your home launcher. As I recall, you must use TouchWiz as the home launcher to use Samsung Widgets. I've tried, just now, with Launcher Pro, ADW, ADW EX, and TouchWiz with only TouchWiz allowing it.

The easiest way to switch between launchers is to download Home Switcher from the market. This way you can pick a default and/or launch any of them that you have installed.
awesome man thanks for you help.

No problem.
I found this mod. You can remove text under icons with it. Nothing new, ADW and Launcher Pro can do that too, but you can also remove text under icons in the app drawer! And that is awesome! I know not many people want it, but I think it's nice to have.
Only problem: it is a mod for rosie. First I didn't know what rosie was, but it is just the HTC Sense launcher. My question: can this easily be ported to another launcher, like Go Launcher EX? Or is there something that does exactly the same: removing text under icons in the app drawer? Would be awesome!

Well, no, but someone asked it already in that topic (his question was if it would work on Darchdroid with ADW Launcher), and the answer was this:

I'll post it up shortly, but it definitely won't work on Darchdroid, as it is a mod to Rosie.

If you don't have Sense, you don't have rosie.apk, and this mod changes something within rosie.apk with metamorph. So how could it work on another launcher?
Hi,
Is it possible to remove the dockbar form LauncherPro ? Or even hide it ?
Remove all the shortcuts and turn off the dock background. That should do it.
Ok, so removing works good.
Could you also help me with changing dock in LauncherPro ? I downloaded new docks from xda, and want to replace the old one. How to do that ?
Press menu ,prefrences ,appearence ,dock background ,select custom and pick the dock you want to use from your gallery ,simples

Is there any way to actually use the space for desktop icons as the ADW launcher does (expand desktop)?
I like the smoothness of LauncherPro but I like some of the features of ADW but don't like its lag.

I've gone back to ADW for this reason. I'd have prefered to use LP but there is no way to do what you're asking with it.

great fixed!!
Desktop vizualizer makes icfons at half size, with no way to fix as far as i can tell, i've told them but have gotten no reply.
folder organizer items work, but it places the shortcuts as a widget instead of a shortcut like it did in honeycomb.
so right now i have no way to add normal shortcuts to my homescreen with a custom icon.
does anyone have any apps that work properly?
I used adw for my custom shortcuts

not really a lot of help. i'm not asking for a custom launcher. ICS launcher is just fine. i just want to be able to actually make custom icons like i could in honeycomb.
i find it really hard to believe that no one running this tablet on ICS with a stock launcher is using custom icons. come on.

Have you tried Nova Launcher? Its basically the Stock Launcher, but allows for editing/resizing Icons and Widgets. Plus, you can install Icon packs for ADW and manually assign Icons of your choice to whatever you want...then resize them if you want.
Nova has a free version, and a Prime version with a few extra fun features. Both are in the Market.
yeah i've tried nova and the others, and personally i don't like/want to use them. i find the stock launcher just fine.
i'm just annoyed because for the first time in android history, i can't make custom icons work right. and i'm just shocked that it seems that no one else here is using custom icons on a stock launcher.
there are some ics roms out there already? are you rooted?

So you seem to be stuck on using the Stock launcher.
Well if you had tried Nova as you said, then I got to know, what about Nova didn't you like? I mean, Nova is basically stock from the look, and it adds the ability to use custom icons or ones from an icon pack, and allows you to resize them...which is what you are complaining about.
So, what is it about needing/wanting to use stock launcher, when Nova is stock with a few added features, one of which is using custom icons.
i don't have my TF rooted, so i lose the widgets menu, it doesn't have the tablet transitions, app drawer is 5x5 instead of 8x5. and to be honest, it's not as smooth as the stock ics launcher for me.
and honestly, i'm just still in a shock that apparently everyone is just using nova or adw.
i refuse to believe that i am the only person on this forum with an ICS transformer that is using the stock launcher with custom icons. that cannot be possible.
I was wondering if there is a dev out there that created/could create a mod or an app that will allow me to create a folder in the app drawer like in Go launcher.
I love sense and i don't want a different launcher and this is the only problem that bugs me about the sense launcher and i don't wan't to have folders on my 'desktop' because I rather have widgets or icons there
a little bump for first page
definitely won't happen.
why not??
it is very organized and not everybody wants to have folders on the desktop screen

Find me the source code for the Sense launcher and I'll add that feature for you...
Or, you can try to add the function yourself...
On a serious note, you're most likely not going to get that feature unless you can find a way to back port it by use of apktool. Obviously you're a small voice in a big crowd and it's not likely that any knowledgable developers are going to take on the time consuming project to please you.
I don't mean to offend you, I'm just sarcastic...
Now, if you do want that feature then there have been some viable solutions offered to you in this thread already.
