Q: I love the customization available with the various ASOP roms, however really like the look and feel of the various sense roms too. I'm running Virtous Unity 2.37 and its great.
Without using an application such as ADW products, can I tweek the look to remove the app name from the display? I know what's what and just want to make it cleaner.
I'm not very technical and have searched but nothing seems to apply.

Use Any Cut (free in Market). Create shortcut to App from within Any Cut...although it won't let you leave the name blank, it will allow you to just input a space so it appears blank. See camera in top row of screenshot

desktop visualizer will do the same thing, but i think it will let you leave it completely empty
I use Desktop Visualizer. Notice the NFL icon. It is a custom icon that actually launches the NFL '11 app that I use. Also notice how I shortened the name of the stock messaging app.

Thanks for the input. I went with Desktop Visualizer. It was free and extremely simple to use. I've already cleaned up the desktop and it looks clutter free. Thanks!

It's a work in progress. I'm stock rooted with the Ginerbread/Sense 2.1 rom.
The wallpaper I found on Zedge. The skin is sopL87's 2.1 work over in the DHD threads. It is the Glass Sense skin. I am planning on changing the battery icon blue. I got some nice things going on in the other screens too. All a work in progress.

I had to hop on PC to reply to this post and am noticing that my pics posted huge, instead of a thumbnail with a smaller pic. I have no idea why. Must be the Tapatalk app.
Just interested in your wallpaper. I have my very own custom blue carbon fiber skin.

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.

My setup
My setup. I only take credit for the dock background, battery icon, and notification dropdown list.
Nissan, is that a theme with the text instead of icons? Reminds me of Rainmeter.
I use LPP, but the icons are totally stock. I only got it for the twitter widget. That's the only thing I missed about Sense, but I don't have to deal with it anymore. I have a recurring issue that comes up every few days, where it force closes, but I'm not really sure what's causing it, and haven't been able to figure it out.

Well the ROM itself is CM6 Stable, I just tweaked it a bit by theming the Notification bar and dropdown list. The icons in the dock, however, were not my work. I found them while I was browsing the net for custom Launcherpro dock icons a few months ago. I cant really remember where I got them from though...
The desktop icons that you see (market, xda, etc...) are from Signals23's Neue theme which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799623 then I just used Desktop Visualizer (which can be found in the market) to add the icons to the desktop and used the widget resize function built into Launcherpro Plus to change the size of them. However, all of the icons in my app drawer are completely stock.
As for you force closure problem, I find that a bit odd. I don't use any Launcherpro widgets so I have no idea why it would be doing that. might be something you should ask in the development section. the guys in there are geniuses, unlike myself

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular

can somebody explain this wallpaper deal on the 1X, i find a cool one that according to specs has the correct size. save it to the phone --then i either add it as wallpaper via the Gallery or Personalize and it shows me the wallpaper, with a green square on it that i can slightly enlarge but still it only uses about a third of the entire image, on top of that.. quite a few look like crap (to put it blunt), very pixelated.. what am i missing here.

The "green square" just shows where the home screen will be. Sense has scrolling wallpaper, so you will still see the area to the left and right of the green square as you scroll left and right n sense.

Guys, don't be so quick to jump on the op. Its pretty clear what he's trying to say. I know because I experienced it. I'm gonna take a guess and say ur using stock ROM? I had the same problem when I was in stock ROM, he green square only stretches so far, it does not encompass the entire image, therefore the image it sets as your wallpaper becomes stretched and therefore pixelated. I also tried to find ways around this op but I couldn't find any, well that is until I flashed another ROM. I can't quite remember I it worked when I ran cleanrom, but any aosp ROM will work like aokp and cm9/10. With these ROMs the green square stretches out to encompass the full image therefore giving you the right resolution for ur home screen. Other than that I know of no way around the problem. Flash an aosp ROM op, you will thank me for it later

The green box isn't supposed to stretch across the whole image. The green box represent one Sense tab, ie the homescreen. The area ot the left and right of the green box is still part of the wallpaper, when you scroll left and right through the Sense tabs.
I don't see the problem here?

i was using the clock lock-screen, to be able to use a different wallpaper on the lock-screen you must choose "wallpaper" instead of the clock lock screen.. can't have both i guess (#unrooted)
