Heyy Peeps,
So we all love our SGN and those of us who are not rooted are still on Gingerbread and might not be loving the custom launchers that much .I for one am using Touchwiz 4.5 full time and wasn't that much happy with Go Launcher feel on the SGN... one of the things that i didn't like was small icons (dock icons especially) so decided to Mod the Go launcher and increase the size of the dock icons...
I have only done this to support the SGN users and in no way want to benefit from the Go launcher development .....
Do lemme know how it goes...Attached is the apk file which can be installed.
HIT THANKS IF U LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, i have seen a lot of interesting launcher pro widgets skin and find it great but i can't seem to get to like the launcher pro interface (loved it on my phone but on a big tablet... ) So i were wondering if there would be a way to tweak (noob here) launcher pro so all the icons/app drawer could be really similar to stock honeycomb? or is there a way i could use the themed launcher pro widgets (made by bisto321) in the stock honeycomb?
Thanks a lot!
Oh and also, i have seen a couple of person having icons down their screen with only text (and more rectangular than square icons...) anyone know if it can be achieved in stock honeycomb?
thanks again

not sure you are going to find a way to get a Launcher Pro / stock hybrid version yet.
As for text icons you should be able to find a pack of icons that would do the trick - try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797194.
other text widgets can be created with apps like this -

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext
ive tried the first and it works great. ive not tried the second one.
I'm using ADW EX on mine and it's a huge improvement over the stock launcher.
Hi to all you guys.
Im not fun at all of TouchWiz Launcher but since now all other lunchers don't working properly on GN cause our screen resolution (more or less luggy).
So, can any of our themer mod TouchWiz Launcher like this one to fit in our bases?
In my personal taste its way better than stock.
Thank u all.

Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.
You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.
You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.
Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!
Hello all,
New Galaxy S2 user here. Coming from a line of exclusively HTC Sense phones and ROMs.
I'm wondering if it's possible (and easy) to change the icons for default apps in CM9 or TW based ROMs? Specifically the "Messaging" icon - I hate the "smiley" face. Makes me feel 12 years old again.
I've done a few searches, but I'm not looking to replace the entire icon set or the ROM or theme... just one icon.

The hard way is to download the apk, open it up, replace the images with the ones you want, repackage it, and reinstall it. The easy way is to use a launcher that allows you to change the icon. I know Apex and Nova do, not sure about any others.

Also check out "Desktop Visualizer" in the market .
But as already mentioned ....the different launchers are the best & easiest way.
Holo launcher is another one.
Good Luck.

Go Launcher as well. Go, Nova, and Apex have the ability to use icon sets made for each other.
Hmmm... going to an entirely different launcher seems like overkill, but I guess if it works...
There used to be apps on the Market that would allow you to create shortcuts with different icons (BetterCut comes to mind, but the dev pulled it from the Market entirely).
If you don't want a new launcher, try Desktop Visualizer (though I have yet to figure out how to get it to use an existing icon pack). There are a lot of options in it and it's a great program.

You can download a launcher from the playstore (I recommend Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, or ADW) and they will allow you to customize your app drawer and just about everything else. Hope this helps...

Acually already know that but i want to edit the main drawer of trebuchet launcher anyone ?

I'm not running Trebuchet now, but I have. I'm not 100%, but I know Trebuchet to be a purposefully minimal launcher to use very little memory, thus may offer few customization options.
