I just want to know how to get example1 instead of examplecurrent (attached).
I am ultra new to this modding stuff and have no idea what to even call this bar. But I am wanting to the the transparent 5 icon thing w/ phone messages ect at the bottom instead of the little standout-ish 3 icon one... help plz =P
All you'll have to do is install LauncherPro from the market. It is a launcher replacement app and is extremely popular. You'll be able to choose what apps/icons to put in the dock(that's what the bar is called ) along with all sorts of other customizations. There are other launcher replacement apps like ADW, GO launcher, Zeam, etc. Each have their own advantages and you'll just have to see what works best for you and your phone.
Then what?!
Ok I have downloaded LauncherPro , I believe cm7 already came with ADW or w/e so how do I change over and try the new one out and mess with settings and all that?
When you go to the homescreen you should get a popup asking you which launcher to use. If not, there's an app called home switcher or something like that. The settings can be found by pressing the menu button then selecting preferences. To change which apps and icons are in the dock, just long press on the one you want to change and you'll get a popup menu.
I love this phone, but I am not that crazy about the icons on TouchWiz. Is there anyway to change icons without being on a ROM that has the theme chooser?

you cuold always try apex launcher or another launcher also!
APK Edit will allow you to change the icon and/or application name for any program... very easy to use.
see this:

OK, a lot easier way to do this is to download "Apex Launcher" or "Nova Launcher" from the play store. They both support icon packs. There are many free ones out on the play store (stock jellybean, motorola icons, lg icons, google icons, touchwiz icons...etc)
Launcher:

Icons (a bunch):

Sweet, thanks for the response guys that helps a lot.

Icon changer works for me:good:
I've been using Apex launcher for a while now an I really like it. The best feature is letting me change the home page grid size. I really prefer to have 5 x 4 instead of the default 4x4.
I find GO Launcher EX to be an excellent launcher as it has some many plugins available so you can customize every aspect of the O/S to make it look exactly like you want. It also has a complete widget series for further customization. I like the custom calendar, weather, and notifications it provides. Also there is a really cool SMS text message app that add many custom icons to your text messages.
Hey does anyone have a copy/modified copy of the Moto App Launcher to use icon packs? Although I like Lawnchair, I cannot use it on this new phone because I like having the app drawer on the recent apps screen. Thanks!
I too insist on having a home screen with the app drawer icon. I do not like the "My Home screen is my app drawer" aka (Easy Home) or the "swipe up for apps" method.
The first thing I did with my Moto g7 was search Google for; and then install the "Latest Nova Launcher Pro/Mod apk" which corrected that problem and allows for major customizations, ffor starters, the app drawer option, with scroll direction choices, basic launcher themes and icon packs, fonts and colors and size modifications, search bar options, folder creation with all features listed above just for the folders, app animations and transition's, etc etc etc. If you can think it or want something different then the standard issue there is more then likely a feature to modify it.
I have also had success with Apex Launcher. Just remember when looking to download ANY type of app at all, be sure to search GOOGLE for the "pro/paid/full/premium" and sometimes "mod" versions of the Apps .apk files, Not those ad infested and half the feature locked versions that come from the PlayStore.

Hello guys.
I have 2 similiar Icon Packs (LineX & Linebit). I have some apps from my country that are not in the icon pack. When I manually pick the icon pack and want to search for replacement icons (school grade app=any school themed icon) it shows all icons, but I can't search with words for particular one like with Nova Launcher...so I'd have to scroll all the way through and look through over 4000 icons each time. I have OnePlus 7 Pro with Android 10.
I tried "Iconzy" icon pack manager with search engine. Works with Nova Launcher, but when I try it in OnePlus launcher...it shows "Unable to load icon package source" or something like that.
So I'm stuck...I can't search per icon pack, cuz there is no magnifying glass icon to search....Iconzy doesn't work. Tried some other app called ICondy, but it made APK file of the icons I"ve picked for each app from the 2 bought icon packs previously mentioned, but when installed and picked - it didnt make a damn thing. All apps looked like STOCK. I now understand whz...ICondy app was updated in 2015 for Android 6, so that's maybe why.
Any suggestion where I could have search button for the icons? Or an app / software for PC where I could make my icon pack from these 2 icon packs (LineX & Linebit) that would suit my needs? I'm fine with this tedious workaround, it will be much easier to pick it from 2x4000 icon list with the scary part that it might bug and lose it's memory.
And why? I heard Nova Launcher (any 3rd party launcher) is buggy on Android 10 because some gesture elements or IDK. And I want to see the changed icons in "Recent Apps / Multitask app manager", which Nova Launcher doesn't change I believe.
Thanks a lot guys
Do you guys manage somehow to remove search bar from the home screen with Pixel launcher and add % display in QS? I checked the mods in pixel 6 pro thread, but don't know if they will work on A13/7 pro.

Hello. I got the phone today. And that's the first thing that bothered me. But as far as I could find the information, it is not possible to remove it.

Not possibe on stock launcher
Maybe with aosp mods ( you will need lsposed)
I just use Nova launcher 8.0.3 beta with Nova Google companion. It's a heck of a lot easier and it lets you hide the notification bar as well.
I use LawnChair as Launcher. It is imho nicer then the stock one and has more features and you can remove the search bar from home screen
I wish they would allow you to do this instead of a third party launcher - the animations in third party launchers are not great compared to stock.

Not sure what you mean by the "animations" but I use Nova Prime and 3 button navigation, and everything works great. I used gesture navigation for awhile but got tired of it a couple of years ago and went back to button navigation and never looked back.

When you swipe away an app it animates the app going back into the icon in a fluid way. Third party launchers can't do this.
Use Pixel Launcher Mods to hide apps, enable icon packs, and change out the at a glance or searchbar widget. It requires Magisk.
In order to blank either of the widgets you need an empty widget, I prefer The Empty Widget on the Play Store since it has zero permissions and nothing superfluous. You can then use the hide apps function to hide the icon.
In order to modify the QS you will need AOSP Mods which requires Magisk and LSPosed. The Xposed version is the minimum, but if you download the Full version it will come with overlay themes to allow you to remove the navbar, change fonts, theme the QS, and change the system icons style.

Does this method to hide the searchbar widget move the icon drawer down to fill the gap?
Not seen anything on the stock launcher that makes it worth putting up with the limitations. Even when mods are used, it's still clunky and limited (for example, you can't change icons for individual apps).
Nova for me, far better and it does everything the stock launcher does and more. I've always found some people being desperate to stick with stock a bit strange.

With the Pixel Launcher mod you can change icons for individual apps while using the stock Pixel Launcher.
I've used Nova, Lawnchair and Hyperion for years and years but am currently using the stock Pixel Launcher with the Pixel Launcher mod to change icons and a Substratum theme to get rid of the gesture pill. Not desperate, just a personal preference. I guess I would fall into the strange category
Wich substratum theme are you using?
Can you had some screenshots?
Thx

No, you are not removing it but rather replacing it with another widget which is just going to be a blank one.

It is a Substratum theme (FSIM-Version1.apk) for this Magisk mod. You can find it via the Telegram link in that Github repo.
Ahh ok...but needs root
A happy Nova user here, what you want is what you get

I took prefer to do this. Pixel Launcher Mod has something that Lawnchair used to have but no longer does if I'm not mistaken, but the ability to apply multiple icon packs at once pretty much keeps all your icons themed at(I normally have 3-4 applied) all times.
Ok, I checked out the pixel mod again. It offers a lot but still falls well short of making the Pixel launcher an everyday use for me.
For example, you can't get rid of both the top and bottom bars at the same time (not the mods fault, I know). And my main issue with it is that you can't change the grid size so you're stuck with 4 columns and 5 rows which simply isn't enough for me.
So whilst the animations and smoothness are nice, they're not nice enough for me to put up with the stupid limitations Google have put in place.

For what it's worth, the stock Pixel Launcher goes up to 5 x 5.
