Awesome Icons is a completely free application for using icons from various icon packs on the home screen without requiring a third party launcher or rooted environment. It allows one to pick icons for applications one by one, even mixing icons from different icon packs. One may also customize the label for the shortcut – even removing it entirely for a completely different feeling on the home screen.
Features:
- Use icons freely from any icon pack for the home screen shortcuts on the default launcher; most icon packs are supported.
- Customize labels for the shortcuts on the home screen.
- See icons suggested for applications from all icon packs at once.
Please try it:

Tried it out briefly on my HTC one (m7). Works well for the most part, but does seem a bit buggy, (at least with Sense 6).
Creating an icon from the app menu creates a HUGE icon that has no label and cannot be moved to the launcher bar. If I create it through the app, it works correctly.
Unfortunately, it cannot find the phone dialer app. This makes it unusable for me, as I wanted to change all of my lockscreen shortcuts to be themed with my launcher icons (nova).
I hope you can fix this in future editions. This is the one uncustomized item I needed to change to make everything seamless. [emoji4]
EDIT- Also, a suggestion... A dark theme would be awesome for people who work with white icons. It is very difficult to see them on the light cream background (Circle White Icon Pack).

Thank you for trying it out.
That huge icon is actually a widget. The feature is not documented very well right now, but the idea is that if you create a widget, you can make the icon larger than a normal shortcut. (Ordinary shortcut uses the space for label even if you empty it.)
I can't imagine why the dialer is not showing up, but I'll certainly look into it. It's probably an HTC custom dialer application, but if it shows up in the application menu, it should show up on this app as well.
Also you're perfectly right about the need for different background to preview the icons against. I'll make a note of it.
Thank you for the feedback.

Yeah, I use an HTC One (m7). Sense 5+ uses whatever you have as your dock icons for the lockscreen. Since I use a custom launcher (Nova), I don't even see it on my home screen, yet it allows for the seamless lockscreen look.
I also use glovebox, themed with my desktop icons.

I see an update in the pay store today, however, I believe it has the same update description... 'System icons now show up to use'. Was this a bug fix update, I didn't notice any added features (hoping for black background option).

Hello again. Yesterday's update was just a quick fix for wrong icon sizes on some devices with no new features; the market description is now updated to reflect this. Thank you for the reminder.
I think your previous suggestion about the background is a much needed feature and in fact it's right on top of my todo-list for this application. Right now we're working on another big project, though, so I'm not sure when I can get that to that one.

I might be late to the party but here we go anyway:
HTC Evo: Invisible App Launchers (Ninja Apps)
The Video Tutorial:
The Text / Image Tutorial:
What you will need:
- An HTC Evo (probably works on other phones, but I don't care about other phones)
- A Custom Launcher Program (Launcher Pro & ADW EX are what I have found this to work on)
- A Transparent Icon (You can download this one)
- A Wallpaper With App Images built into it (You can use this one)
The process:
Here we have our main screen...you guys are lucky I just switched to the cm7 RC1 and did a full wipe otherwise you might have had to wait for the apk release.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basics first, we need to switch to a wallpaper that has App images designed into it...the one I have is really nice but there are others out there. Look.
After that we will switch to the first screen we will be adding our hidden launchers too. On this screen you will long press to bring up the "Add To Home Screen" selector. Select the "Custom Shortcut" and then choose "Pick Your Activity." From the next screen you choose what kind of Activity you want, an Application, Music Playlist, etc...After making your selection. Choose ok and your launching icon will be added.
Repeat the above step until your icons cover the launching area of your desire. You can go into ADW or Launcher Pro settings and edit the number of columns and rows on the screen. This will help somewhat with making icons cover the icon area from the wallpaper. For mine I left it at 6 rows and 4 columns.
After all your icons in place it is now time to make them transparent...Long press over the icon and in ADW you will select "Edit." press the icon in the edit screen and choose the transparent icon you downloaded earlier in the tutorial. Repeat this process until all of your icons are transparent.
YOU'RE DONE...
Some tidbits and problems you may run into:
- They are kind of invisible but I still see the icon text... You need to go into the settings for your Launcher Program and select "Hide icon Labels."
- I can't get the icons to fit right over the images... This is not an exact process and will requires some trial and error, as well as, tinkering on your part. Some things you can adjust to help this: Adjust your wallpaper to different sizes and display areas, Adjust the amount of columns and rows displayed on your screens.
- Where can I find more wallpapers like this? My best advise is to look on the internet, it's how I cam across it. I do make custom wallpapers, but, they are not free ($1.99) donations.
If you have any more questions please post them and I will address them as timely as I can.
this is awesome thanx
Umm, there's nothing new about this. Lots of people have posted themes that use this method. I've been doing this since last summer. This might be useful as a tutorial on the basic setup of this method. Also, of course it will work on any phone. What is the apk file going to do? Maybe I'm missing something...
great
Wow! I hadn't heard of this before, but i love the idea and the tutorial. THANKS!!! I'm gonna have to scour for more wallpapers. Is there anyway to take the wallpaper you have in a layered version and remove a few of the images and swap in a few of my own?? ex. i would take out the facebook logo and put a cartoon pic of my wife/kids for my quick dial apks. etc... anyway, thanks for the heads up!!

EDIT: btw, what widget are you using on the wallpaper that show the 4 day weather icons? (or what widget and theme or icon pack)...thanks in advance

Wouldn't the definition of a donation be giving to a public and/or charitable cause? You aren't offering the wallpapers for free to the community, then allowing people to donate to your cause. If that isn't the case, it sounds like you are charging for a service, not encouraging a donation? Unless you plan on offering the wallpapers to all once the initial request for a custom donation inspired wallpaper is received?

I've been looking also for something like this for quite some time also, as I've been using the blank icons with wallpapers to some extent already, just not all over. Just along the edge like this:
The full setup is attached in the Scrolling 2.0 Theme in my sig which also has links on how to set it up from the original author. I also created some wallpapers other than the honeycomb one. PM me if if you would like to check them out.
Its hard to locate wallpapers with the icons pictures built in as I'm not sure what to search for exactly or what the "official" name of this type of wallpaper/setup is.

I could be wrong about what he's using, but you can achieve the 4 day weather forecast like that with the Beautiful Widget's Beautiful Weather Widget. You just need to download that skin, and then disable todays current weather.
I achieved the same widget look using the Beautiful Weather Widget in the screenshot above. Just changing the skin (the skin you would be looking for to achieve that effect is called BrushedInk&Black), hiding the background, and hiding the current weather. Beautiful Widgets is a paid app, but its worth it for the couple bucks it costs, it looks great and is highly customizable.
Yes, yet another calendar widget trying to take over one of your homescreens. This one might just be able to...
Hi guys,
This is a simple calendar widget, that strives to be clean, beautiful and useful.
Main features:
- 2 widgets: agenda and calendar
- Agenda shows weather information
- Several configuration options: widget looks, fonts, colors
Some of the configuration options are locked and only available on the premium version (upgradable in the app). Anyway, i believe that the unlocked options are enough to make it useful. If you don't agree, leave some feedback please.
Get it on Google Play or here.
Some screenshots:

Love it, but I would like to see some options, for example hide "no events" select how many days to get weather for, hide icons, a completely transparent theme and possibility to buy it in play store.

Really nice UI :good:
installed it and indeed a good app
great job, OP!
loving it and currently using the calendar widget on my main homescreen!
set it to white background.
however, there are certain issues when its being resized too small..
the dates scaled but it cuts off half, showing only 1-14 instead of 1-30/31.
It looks really nice.
Would be even nicer if the font size (or the whole widget) was adjustable to something smaller
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll try to answer some of the questions.

Your points are fair. I've tried to strike a balance between too much and too few options, but maybe i haven't found it yet.
Anyway, here are some explanations:
- The "no events" label only appear if you select "show weather" and there's weather information for that day, but no events. To show the weather information i had to show something on the description, hence the "no events" label (it doesn't appear if you choose not to show the weather). But an option to control it is something i will consider.
- I'm thinking on the hide icons option (it obviosly isn't difficult to implement, but like i said, i'm trying to keep the settings screen relatively approachable, so i must think on how to incorporate it). Right now you can hide the settings button, but that may not be enough.
- There's no predefined completly transparent theme, but you can make one by changing the day and header background to transparent (just slide the opacity bar all the way to the left). In the agenda view those settings are locked, but you can see how they work in calendar view. Now, i understand that it might be "harsh" requiring people to buy the premium version to have full transparency, but i had to lock some options...
- Regarding the possibility of buying it in the Play Store, i just thought that the In App billing process was "cleaner" and more straightforward for people who wanted to upgrade. I really couldn't think of any advantage of having a separate "key" app in the Play Store vs the In App billing, but maybe i'm missing something.

Yeah, that's by design, and it probably works well for some people, and doesn't work for other people. If the widget is resized to less than 2 rows it shows only 2 weeks. Initially i didn't have that way, it showed all the weeks regardless of the widget size and it was scrollable, but i was having some trouble making it look "right" so i choose this route. I might revisit this though.
By the way, i should add a disclaimer here: the calendar view is heavily inspired by a "prototype" that Roman Nurik (from Google and dashclock fame) made. I didn't just copy it, as it has added functionality, but i was heavily inspired by it (and that's why the calendar view is completly free)

Adjustable font sizes, or at least a selection of 2 different font sizes are something i plan to explore. Can't promise it will be released as it must look "right", but i'll look into it.

Yeah, i was thinking of doing something like that. I was considering only 2 options, but including 3 named like GMail makes more sense indeed. I'll test it ti make sure it looks good (the width of the left sidebar can be tricky, in fact, it might have to stay the same, but it might not matter).

A new version (v1.2.9) was published today, with some common requested features:
- Change text size options
- Theme selection dialog with preview
- Widget header configuration options
- UI Tweaks (better touch feedback, changed separator between days)
It should be available soon.
Hope you like it.

Hi, tasks integration is something we'll look into, but can't promise to implement. Even if we implement it, the first target will be Google tasks, and then maybe other task management solutions (like Any.DO). You see, for tasks there aren't one or two general accepted apps, and we don't have the man power to integrate with them all...

Very nice, took only 5 minutes for me to buy the full version.
agenda view which is my favourite one looks really amazing. consider adding Google tasks support and I can tell you I would switch to this app (Google calendar and Gogle tasks support in one app is my top priority). good work, looking forward to future updates!
Your favorites apps one swipe away, from anywhere !
The app has been totally updated, here the highlight :
- new navigation drawer with google playstore categories
- edit your app name, icon, tags...
- mini mode, minimal ui, pure t9, faster launch
- quick swipe, up to direct swipe access to your fav apps
- full icon pack support, theming
- in app search with contacts, youtube, maps...
- many other configuration options

Uninstalled for now but I like the idea.
Apparently the procedure to hold home and tap the middle button doesn't work everywhere? I don't have any buttons visible when I hold my home button and view recent apps.
Ahhh... The search button offers App Swap. I've not really tried it, but i can see that App Swap is placed a little high, just off the top of my screen.

Great app; bought pro version on a whim. I think this could replace app dialer for me. I have a few suggestions:
-The teal color on the top and bottom should be user selectable; white or black depending on time of would be ideal (in your OP gif it's white so I don't know why it's teal?)
-Option to reverse sort the apps so the most used apps are near the bottom where they're easy to reach with a thumb.
-I like the color sorting feature-neat idea
-More icon pack compatibility; 'Stark' does not work with it?
Anyone have the apk of this? Wont let me download it in the pkaystore. I'm on aosp note 3
This is like Slide Launcher.. And slide launcher is highly customisable

With PAID you get :
- hide any app in the drawer
- uninstall app from the drawer
- open the keyboard on search field when App Swap open (like iOS spotlight search)
- icon pack support, only FREE for the moment
- reverse the app list and scroll from the bottom
- ad free
- and more to come
I should document more this in the app.
Thanks for your feedbacks !
Thanks for telling me the features, so others like me know what to expect when they're purchasing the app.
At the moment I don't have any way to buy it so I will continue to use free version. Its still great and I used google now to search for apps anyways so this is just what I need.
Awesome work! Also just a question. What code did you use to get the google now like gesture? Like when you swipe up from home. You get an option to choose which app you want? What code to how can I achieve that?
Nope
It had gotten my attention, considering buying it after some more usage (just to be sure that it is getting along with my N5), but when I saw the ads...

Hello XDA!
I made a very nice app that allows anyone to have lock screen widgets. You can configure up to 4 widgets. I will be creating a pro version in the near future with MANY more features!
You can download the app on Google Play!
Now anyone can have a page of widgets on their lock screen!

However I discoverd a bug: the time-out period for the lockscreen is now the same as the time-out period in display settings. Without your widget the time-out in lockscreen is the default 5 seconds.
Could you please fix this?

Thanks and can you do something about resizing widgets or chose number of widgets like 1,2,3,4 chose buton?
Also start icon can be more stylish (in my humble opinion like rounded with shadow) sorry for criticism
No rush

I'm not a big fan of graphic design
The code itself takes some time to build so the start icon was thrown together quickly Maybe in the future I'll make it nicer.
About resizing widgets, I am making a paid pro version that will allow resizable widgets, zoomable widgets, unlimited pages of widgets, paced-anywhere-widgets, and some other things I cannot recall. I do this in my free time and need to start profiting off my work. Which is why you see ads in the free version (Even though that doesn't generate a lot of money.

UPDATE: 1/15/15
- Fixed reported crashes.
- Close widgets by pressing any button EXCEPT home and power button.
@elesbb not sure why I decided to give this application a try now as I had it bookmarked for some time, but omg, I've been missing out! anyways, a couple of suggestions on this software. possibility to either move the icon for activation or have it automatically move above the keyboard when trying to the enter password for a locked device. right now when my device requires a password to unlock, the icon for activation kind of gets in the way of the key to the lower left of the screen. would be nice if the activation icon would move itself above the top row of the keyboard when opened or allow one to configure its placement. another suggestion is some way to remove the widgets from the application as there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them once added. not that big of a deal as I figured out four widgets to add, but prior to this I was at a loss to clear ones that I had added.

Hey, just wondering if you could help me get your xposed modules working?
G900V (Verizon)
NK2 stock (rooted)
Galaxy S5 Widgets Module
Samsung Multiple Widgets Module
I've been trying to get the widgets to work while using pattern lock. While set to swipe, I can add, remove, edit, etc the widgets. Set to pattern I press the +, it has me unlock device and then I can choose which widget I want to add. It only adds widgets to the lock screen while set to swipe. Any one else encounter this or know how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
@elesbb not sure if this default behavior, but it looks like when I activate Widget Pager and leave it open the screen never goes back to sleep...

What good would having your widgets open for you to see them if the screen would just shut off when it feels like it? Its default behaviour. Either shut it off manually or close the widgets. If I didn't add that, people would complain that they couldn't read/interact quickly enough with their widget because the screen kept shutting off.

A simple widget that displays your most recently used applications in a grid. Blacklist apps you don't want showing up and style the widget to match your home screen theme (IAP).
Instead of cluttering up your home screen with tons of app shortcuts just add a single MRU widget.
All your most recently used apps show up automatically, ordered by most recently used or most used.
FEATURES
Blacklist allows you to exclude any applications you don't want showing up in the widget.
Whitelist allows you to include only applications you select in the widget.
Customizable grid dimensions
Force right to left layout, for users with larger devices
'Most recently used' and 'Most used' modes
Icon pack support
Per application icon selection
Lots more styling options that allow you to create a widget which perfectly fits your home screen's theme
IMPORTANT
Requires Lollipop device with usage stats access, you will be prompted to allow access if it is not already granted
Some Samsung and LG devices are missing the Usage Stats APIs and are therefore incompatible. Check in device security settings for 'Apps with usage access' (near the bottom) to see if your device is compatible.
To hide Google App from widget blacklist 'Voice Search'
Marshmallow users may want to disable battery optimization in Battery settings
REVIEWS
A must have little app
Out performs all others
This app makes use of the Usage Stats API introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop. You will be asked to enable access to Usage Stats upon first run.
Please let us know if you find any bugs. Thanks!

I want to try this app but it is incompatible with my Note4 (Android 5.0.1) used in Macao.

Sorry to hear that. :crying:
Does your Note 4 have an 'Apps with usage access' option in device security settings? Near the bottom?
Love the idea but haven't actually tried it yet. One question/request...would it be possible to have these in a regular homepage folder?

Thank you. My reasoning is that I like to keep my homepage fairly clean/simple/minimal. The widget is a little much, but if I could have all those apps behind just a single icon it would be fantastic.
Either way, good work. Android FTW

I just pushed an update to Google Play (v0.4) that allows for a 1xN grid. So you could have a tall column then shink it down to one home screen space, making it vertically scrollable.
Functionally similar concept to Hangar's widget, would be interesting to see where this goes
I def like the idea. Would it be possible to get like a contextual widget that shows apps by location for example home, work, out and about gym.. Car etc something like how the HTC sense home widget work's?

Icon label color is based on background color. Dark backgrounds have white text and light background have dark text. If the background is transparent then text color is based on the launcher wallpaper.

Can an option be included? I am on Note4 stock TW launcher and the icon labels are white. I cannot see the labels since my wallpaper is black but I want my background transparent.

Glad to hear, some other Note 4 users were having issues. I'm pretty sure it's Samsung removed some of the Usage Stats APIs.
News:
I've got icon pack support coming in the next version. :good:

Respone speed when click icon to open is quite slow
This works for me. Thank you OP!
Just one request: I noticed that when you switch to 3 rows, the labels are not shown immediately. You still have to scroll down to see the labels on the bottom icons. It would look a lot better if you wouldn't have to scroll down. (2nd screenshot)

Should look into allowing icon packs to be applied to the widget.

Looking good
I just don't get it with Samsung peeps... We have a list just pull out your spen and wow look at that, a list of apps that I currently with my spen. Oh about the list of recent apps... Hold down the home key... I can pick from 20 apps that I had launched. Didn't use an app to do it.
