ADW launcher and paperless theme

hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.

I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.

Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything

Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.

hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF

This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.

I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)

I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.

Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )

Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?

full screen wallpapers

well guys i have been working hard to find out how to have full screen wallpapers on sgs...well here is how to do it..
1. install a free sw faststone image.
2. see the screenshot of exact config in pic menu after you select batch conversion from tool menu.
3. check option to disable wallpeper scrolling in launcher pro or other launchers...
4. enjoy full screen wallpapers.....

Very off topic, but may i ask if your app drawer is the Ubuntu button/logo and if so, how did you make the normal app drawer button invisible.
Cause i have a LP custom dock which has a custom app drawer logo already on it but it clashes with the normal app drawer logo

u have to use adw launcher....and install ubuntu theme..simple..

Lols i was about to edit my post as i just managed to find a transparent icon which i have used to replace the app drawer icon. I use Lp btw.

Hide Notification Bar, swipe from top to reveal..

I would like to have the notification bar off the (top of the) screen so I can have a full screen. If I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anyone could direct me how to do this on my own or with an already available application I would be very grateful.
Im on stock (rooted) G2 Tmobile Rom.

Yo I know you said you didn't want to change your launcher BUT if your using LauncherPro like 90% of the rest of the android community give Go Launcher a shot, it has the almost the EXACT same features as LP but it also includes the ADW ability to set actions for swipe up and down on the home screen (not just the dock) so you can hide the bar and then set down swipe on the home screen to pull down notifications, that's what I do

I just use ADW Launcher, it works very well, i don't care to change launcher.

LOL you don't wanna change your Launcher hmm ur a tuff cookie guy. Joking but for real Launcher Pro is the Best well in my opinion.

I like adw, more customizability. You can do it on lots of launchers but as far as I know you can't do it outside of the launcher. What launcher are you using now? Stock?

I will not take sides, but adw ex have more options in settings than LP. and can I ask where you read that 90% of users use android LP?

Yea it seems that I needed to replace my rom to fix it as it was a rom based feature.. thank you for all your assistance.

[Q] Change the App Drawer scroll orientation

I am currently running Darky Rom 9.5 with Crysis Revolution Theme. I love the the style of it and the themed launcher. The only thing I would like to change is the app drawer. It is currently horizontal scrolling and I would like to change it to vertical 3d app drawer. Unfortunately, there is no launcher specific setting to modify.
Does anyone know of a way to change this. I am guessing it would require to modify the apk or something similar.

what launcher is it ??
have you opened the app drawer and pressed the menu button and see if the option is there ?
it is for some launchers

It looks to be a tweaked version of TWLauncher. I looked, but there is no specific settings or or preferences for the launcher. I was hoping there was because that would have been the easy solution. Thje only launcher that I have found to have this option is just called launcher. I am guessing that it is a ported version of the stock Froyo or Gingerbread launcher.

you can't change this in the app, but instead you can use the gingi launcher. It won;t have 5 dock bar and transparency but still... I recommend Go Launcher.

[Q] Best launcher and the feature/advantage of that launcher you can't live without

What is the best LAUNCHER in ur comparison..and the best feature that makes it awesome...(eg. mine is goLauncherex coz it have swipe in the screen to do additional options like swipe down for notification or open helicopter view of all home screens).....REPLY PLZ

I use adw ex because its fast. But when Zeam has widget scrolling back i will use that mainly cause, adw ex is fast but it uses more memory and sacrifices graphics. You can check this by using a dark/black coloured widget and then scrolling, you will see it distort.

I use ADW Launcher Ex, it has the same swipe features and many themes available

+1 for ADW Launcher Ex, it just seems to move smoother and more fluidly than others ive tried.

Tried several all they all have advantages, still, surprisingly, I am now quite used to TouchWiz on the Galaxy S2 2.3.3 and while it is not perfect, decided to stop bothering with other launchers for now. It does a fair, fast/fluid job and I complement it with a couple of widget-thingies like Elixir and a couple of apps like Tasker and ZDTools.
The good part is that it appears to be very stable. I'll probably keep using it until something amazing shows up.

LauncherPro, tried Zeam and Go Ex, both rather slowly working. But I like the feature on GoEx launcher to open the recent apps out of the appdrawer...

I like Go Launcher's ability to uninstall an app just by long-pressing on the app icon in the drawer of home screen, and that you could add up to 30 screens--something few launchers can do.
ALso the many themes and icons that it has for free download. Font packs though, are not its strength. You'd have to look elsewhere for fonts.

30 screens -> will be BAD SLOW! i have 3 screens and it is really enough...
launcher pro: tap long on an icon, drag it over the trash can and wait -> so you can uninstall it

I love adw launcher being able to hide app labels, looks much cleaner.
Quite like transparent app drawer too!
