I've done my research can't find the answer. I like how you can use custom icons with launcher pro. I like the text look for icons. I dont like the launcher pro setup. I like how the original 7 screens are set up with 2.2 ota. Using launcher pro you can't get the widgets like on the original screens. I have each page set up the way i like and have found no way to do it using lp.
I would like to know if there is a way to replace the icons with the text in the original 2.2 ota. Is there an icon changer program that allows this?
How do you make custom icons?
All help appreciated. Thanks, Eric
I've used ADW and launcher pro both and they both have a custom shortcut option. I used it to change my messaging icon recently.

The best quick and easy way is adw, better home, LP etc. other than that. Pull every apk from your phone and edit its icon and push back.

I use the custom short cut option works great for my needs.
Its much easier to use something like LauncherPro. Its a great app and is completely customizable.
If you go with the LauncherPro method... check out the customizations and icons and what not here

I think you can't use these kind of widgets in combination with an alternative launcher. HTC Sense widgets only work, if you use the Sense launcher.
But maybe I'm wrong, that would be great I would also love to see the Social+ widget in combination with my LauncherPro.
I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts, liked it way better than any of the other social networking widgets. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I use Zeam launcher and cant use it either. I dont mind the LG launcher but i prefer having my screen 5 icons wide
Hey guys,
What launcher do you use on your N5?
Still on stock? or replaced it with a 3rd party one?
I'm still on stock (google now launcher) though I'm considering a switch to a 3rd party one (Nova!).
I like the stock launcher but I miss some customization features like changing the icon packs, more than 4 icons in a row etc etc.
What about you guys?
I've been using lucid launcher pro for a while now. Really like the uniqueness of it. Also this thread may get locked or moved. Not sure if the mods will think this pertains directly to the device or not.

I don't have a nexus 5, but I still use the GNL on my N4 & 7 2013. Google Now is so much more useful for me, and my second choice is the Sony Xperia Z2 launcher

I've tried various launchers but like stated above the stock launcher is just so much more useful for me so I end up going back to it.

I use Aviate Launcher and I absolutely love it. Used to use Nova but I'm just tired of the usual home page/app drawer thing. Aviate is really different, clean, useful, intuitive and customizable
In 4 years on android, I never liked stock launchers

Until GEL .

Well, not sure if you're rooted. If you are, you can find these two features to use easily with the stock launcher like myself. If you use Xposed Framework, Gravity Box allows you to set the icon grid to whatever I want (right now I'm using 5x5). For icon packs, I'm using Unicon (bought from the Play Store you use it with Xposed Framework). It works great. The only gripe I have, which isn't a huge deal for me, is that it doesn't allow you to change individual icons like a 3rd party launcher would (or at least I assume it would being that I've never used a 3rd party launcher). I like the stock Google Now Launcher too much to switch.
I use the stock android launcher (like on nexus 7 and 4)... I need to be able to scroll both ways from the main home screen, plus, I can just swipe up if I need Google now.

I'm using Apex Pro launcher. I bought it back when I had my S2 and still like it's flexibility.

Smart launcher. Gel is boring and like most the others.

Yup, stock launcher and don't plan on changing it. Clean, simple, and straightforward.
Stock launcher for me. Never really liked any custom launcher.

I wish I could run the stock launcher, but I absolutely NEED Nova on my devices.
I enjoyed stock for a time, but have since moved back to Nova...so many options! I also realized that the stock launcher has the Search app running super secretly in the background all the time, even with Okay Google and Google Now turned off; I only found out with Greenify. Once I switched to Nova, I hibernated Search and it actually saves me enough juice to notice. I wonder if anyone else noticed this?
I use Stock Launcher but occasionally switch back to Nova Launcher, mostly when I've got tons of apps to organize. I do wish that in future updates the stock launcher offers more options to organize apps efficiently.

I was using the stock launcher with the GEL Settings xposed module for a while, but I recently switched to Action Launcher and LOVE it.
I was always using very few home screens and found myself not using Google Now from the home screen that often. Enough that swiping up from the home button wouldn't be a real inconvenience.
Action Launcher is exactly what I needed and I'm glad I finally tried it.

Played around, always go back to stock.
Been an avid user of nova until GEL. Still staying with stock Google now launcher to date

Nova on both of my devices N5&10. Tried stock's 4.4.2 launcher but I missed Nova's various features too much. Besides I rarely use Google Now despite several attempts due to pier pressure. So the latest launcher's preeminent feature was not a big draw.

Yup, Nova (Prime) for me too, i just love the ability to customise a launcher and use different icon packs.

You have quite a nice screen density. On my Mate 7 everything looks much more zoomed in, which I don't like. For example, I get way less notification icons in the status bar, maybe only 6-7.
Changing the font to "small" didn't do the trick.
Any help on this?

Hello, i have a problem to with Noav. Many times Nova Launcher kill it self and go back to stock Launcher. Who can tell me what can i do? Other Launcher have the same problem (apex etc.)
Manage Apps, the bottom left of default-app settings, Launcher. Select at Nova overview. There you'll find all Launcher installed.
Nova launcher keeps crashing on me, for no reason, 2/3 times when i just unlock my phone with fingerprint sensor. M7 32gb amber gold.
Do you use any of Huawei's own widgets (e.g. the weather widget) ? If so remove them and your alternative launcher will not crash anymore.
I'm using the weather clock widget yes. I'll try it out. Tnx
Nova launcher crushers every time I try and place the amber weather widget, anyone has come across this?
Hi pal , Is there any way to replace the standard icon set? Without having to use apk that change them individually, applying them in packages.
I hope the only way is not to change the launcher...
Thanks!
There is not. Use a different launcher. Lawnchair is pretty much the same launcher but much more customizable.
