[Q] 5 apps across in the app drawer?

Hello, all.
I have tried searching to no avail.
While experimenting with different roms, I know certain roms come with the app drawer reflecting 5 apps going across the phone instead of the stock 4. My question is: Is there some kind of flashable file that can make the app drawer show 5 apps going across it?
Thanks in advance.

Yea, but I'm one of the few people that like Sense. I was hoping one of the devs had made a flashable file that I just wasn't able to find.

One thing thats different about android and WM is the fact that it isn't as easy to make a flashable file for ALL ROMs. What happens is in this case for example is the rosie.apk has been modified to show 5 x 5 icons. That rosie.apk also contains some the graphics that make up the rosie (some are in another apk as well). So what would have to happen is someone would have to create a rosie.apk for each style of rosie currently available or maybe someone would create the file just for you. They could most likely do it if they new what rosie you were using. In WM it was a simple modify a registry setting or add something to the registry.
OH and just as many people like Sense as people that don't. I like it.

[Q] How do I edit a widget's background?

Not sure if this belongs in the Dev section or here.
Anyway, attached is a screenshot of my homescreen. I am wondering how to edit the Google+ widget to give it a transparent background instead of the dark bg.
I know how to edit photos and apply a transparent bg, etc., I am just not sure how to edit the widget itself. Is it a matter of getting the .apk and extracting an image to edit? I used to edit icons for my iOS devices, so I assume this might be the same with .apk files ...
Any tips would be helpful!
Thanks!

I'd like to know too. I tried to edit the widget background for the honeycomb music app to be semi-transparent by taking the trans widget background from sense music widget.
Honeycomb music apk had a file called appwidget_bg.9.png so i renamed the one from sense to that name using 7zip, but new apk wouldnt install for me.
Not sure if any of this helps you. But I'd like to know too.
In the apk, there should be a folder called res or resources, i forget. Pretty sure relevant file is in there if I remember correctly. Good luck.

I've modded the app.
instructions:
- install the app from the market (you already have it installed so you may be able to skip this step)
- remove the widget if its on one of the screens
- use root exprlorer to copy the file I posted to the /data/app folder
- set the permissions (rw-r--r--)
- readd the widget
that worked for me.
Download the attachment

Thanks but I get force close when I try.

I thought I would try the above mod again and it still force closes. Does anyone else know how to get the google+ transparent widget? Martijua's mod is exactly what I am looking for, but for some reason it doesn't work. :-(
Thanks!

[Icons]for Go Launcher EX and Launcher Pro

I made some icons for the Go Launcher and Launcher Pro so as to match as it possible with the ICS Themes and to show uniformity.
Will be continuously updated and added more.
Also You can ask the icons that interests. Of course I can't create icon for each application of the Market but I will try to do my best.
No need to change icons in the App Drawer or these are inside a folder.
We are interested only what we can see.
For any icon you want to make for you, please send me a screenshot of the icon in black background.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Instructions
Just download and unzip the file. Save the folder at your extrenal SD Card.
Press and hold the icon you want to change and select "Replace/Custom icon".
Select the folder with my icons and press on that you want.
ATTENTION: at the next step you have to click on the "No Crop" and then "Save"
Some icons they have at them title the word DOCK. For example PHONE_DOCK.png These are for using like Dock Icons.
Thats all.

Thanks to the OP... but how about this one

Extract Icons from Icon Packs?

what is the easiest way to extract individual icons from icon packs so you don't have to universally apply all icons within a pack?

I use nova launcher which makes this easy. Just press and hold on the icon you want changed. When the menu pops up, select settings (the cog wheel). This will bring you to a menu that you can change the icon image, name and also assign a second action when swiping the icon opposed to just tapping on it.
I hope that helps.

Yup that helps except I'd like to use the stock launcher. There you can add icons from gallery only not an icon pack so that's why I wanted to know if we can extract the pack.

The easiest thing you can do is use extract the apk using 7zip, or you can use root explorer as well if you long press on the icon pack apk and extract it as well. You can also decompile the apk and pull the images from the xxhdpi, xhdpi folders, what icon packs where you looking at, I can extract some for you and just post the zips

Get icon changer from play store

He is not trying to do that, he is trying to extract the icons he wants to use and put them in the gallery because he can change the actual system icon and not lose notification functionality. Its a slight different concept because you can longpress on the icons and literally change it like iconchanger, but its built in and you use images from the gallery

Icon changer does the same thing you can change one at a time and use icon packs or picture from gallery

Yea except that it doesn't because it doesn't just theme the system icon, it creates a completely new on separate from the system and you lose the notification number, you don't need icon changer..... He just wants the icons so installing icon changer doesn't fix anything, because he still needs the icons so if you read what he is asking, he wants to extract icons

Dear op, please use themex from the play store.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I am also looking for basically stock Android icons extracted...basically the ,png for the phone, camera, people etc. Anyone know where to get them? I've been on the google machine and I've gone on the line and still can't find a serviceable .png of these simple icons. I don't want to switch from the stock launcher, and simply want to replace the current icon with a different (stock android) one.
Thanks in advance.....

He only wants to extract single icon from the theme, so I think ThemeX is the right answer

So does anyone know where the system "Icon gallery" icons are kept on this G3? Which folder and what format are they?
I'd like to be able to directly place icons in there, so they come up when I try choose a system icon.
Seems there are limited LG G3 themes available at the moment from LG.

Themes

Anyone knows if we can modify themes via the phone files or maybe even create one ? The theme market s*cks so bad and wich i could implant an icon pack. (I miss nova launcher for that feature)
Thanks ?

You would think they have some kind of theme maker since they have a theme store on the Chinese version. If you look at .NubiaTheme/theme_infos/using/icons the icons file is just a zip file with the icons in it. Maybe they can be changed in there. And also take a look at description.xml I would but don't have time at the moment.

Icons seems to be packaged in a root file. Cant open. Description xml is empty ??*

Rename icons and add the .zip extension then you can look what's inside. Also use a note editor of some sort to read the xml files.

I use the theme apk and downloaded one of the free themes. It put the them in .NubiaThemes/theme_infos I was able to change the wallpaper and icons and went back into the theme app and was able to apply the theme with the new wallpapers and icons. So by doing this you can make your own custom themes.

I found out you can change other things like the background of the dialer, messages, etc... But need the xml config file from a theme that has the items listed so I know what I can change. And you can preset your fonts in the xml also. I've tried all the free ones they have so far and there pretty much the same, different main background and icons. There has to be a default file that has that info in it. I will try and guess what the config is maybe I will get somewhere.

Ok cuz even my friend who creates themes for android is baffled.... xD

Download activity launcher and search Nubia theme within the application. That allows you to change to nubias provided themes

Here is an idea of what you can change

Im not talking about simply changing or mixing themes. Talking about edit the xml file to be able to change every color,menus or icon the way you want.
??*?

i replaced most of the icons and renamed them to match the apps and all but a few worked I did about 30so far Im still needing the names to a few like the playstore etc...
So what i did was took the icon folder renamed it to icon.zip then uncompressed it removed all the icons so I could get an idea of the names of them and one by one replaced them.
Then I zipped the res folder thats inside of icons and named it icons.zip , renamed it to just icons remove the .zip and copy back in the theme folder where it came from. Change to that theme and your icons will be changed.
So here is an example I wanted to change chrome's icon. I found the icon I wanted to use and named it com.android.chrome.png put that in the icon folder and your done now you have to go in and replace each and find the names of them.
Here is a screen shot of mine changed but the playstore and some google apps I havent worked on yet.

What was the source folder of the icons ? Ive tried using the icon folder from sdcard/.nubiatheme/ theme_mix/using but didnt work

Sorry about that, input the wrong folder in my previous post. It's actually theme_infos I just now saw it and went back and corrected it.

That folder is empty for me ?

Make sure you have the theme.apk from the Chinese phone version installed. Then go into the theme store and pick a free thrme down load it and it will show up in theme_infos then you'll see a folder with a bunch of numbers and letters. Just pick one and that will be your theme you will make the changes in . When you change the preview wallpaper it will show like that in the store also of themes you own.

Alright. It worked. Like you said some app will not work but most of em does.
But we now miss matching icons for other apps ? guess i can extract icons from an icon pack and pick from there.
On the other hand, i really like the dark grey and red themed international defaut icons. (Someone who have so time could create an extra alternate edition international icon pack that includes more designs for other apps, hey we can dream, right??)
Thanks for the know how ! Its appreciated.

Almost every icon can be changed, but somehow some of them just wont work. (Calendar, Clock, Pool Break Pro and Textra) All the other ive tested works. (104/108apps)

That looks good.
