Nova launcher is a good alternative, can use icon packs and can be setup to look the same as google launcher

So, I really like Grace UX, yet you can't get it by theme. So I am looking for a TouchWiz launcher that is able to change icon packs. I'm a bit picky so it would have to be pretty much exactly like stock. Any help please??
If anyone knows a way to get it another way, that would be great as well!

Launcher doen not include icons, so launcher doesn't mean anything, 50% of what you want are icons, and you can change them on stock launcher only by recompiling apk, putting certain icon in it, resign it and put it in system app or priv app folder woth correct permissions.

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!

First the obvious question: Have you tried using it?

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?
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.
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.

Are you talking about the app mms icon or the emoticon pack from what sound like it's the mms 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.
Hello..
I need to help.
How to show arrow data connection, hiden separator and hiden google quick search widget in home screen without root?
Thanks.
To hide the Google search bar use another launcher like nova but for the mods of the status bar you need root and xposed at least if you don't want to flash another Rom. Good luck

I use Nova instead Google and I think is better, because you can use all Google has plus a lot of other things google doesnt. You should give a try to each one and judge by yourself. Nova is the most stock likely and supports icons and fonts, also there a lot of launchers with specific functions, like Themer, Go launcher, etc

There are no themes in nova launcher like themes for cm like you can change everything even the UI. you can install "themes" via pay store and will change icons and fonts but not UI. Give a try

Ps you can change the "themes" in the menu "appearance/icons". After install one pack of icons/fonts you will find them there
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.
