Editing launcher pro with apktool? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm building a rom and want to use launcher pro for the launcher. I want to have a couple of widgets auto load after the rom is flashed and upon home screen loading. Is there a future or can someone help me out so I can change the default settings in the launcher? I know people can edit or change stuff with a simple long press, but I need to edit it beforehand so my theme will flow the way I want it to.

There's got to be a dev smart enough to tell me how to do this. Oddly enough, no responses yet

Maybe check other phones Q and A sections, I don't think a lot of DEV's check here often.

Thanks for the tip I'll check it out

Yeah, I was going to suggest ADW too, but the tradeoff to that is that you lose Sense and all it's widgets. For some people, that might be fine, but depending what you're looking for, it might be a dealbreaker. I'm not sure if any of the custom sense roms offer that option. Maybe someone else could chime in about that.

ICS Unlock Screen

How would I go about changing my CM 7.1 lock screen to the new ICS one? I couldn't find a theme ominous here for the incredible, can I just grab an ICS rom and pull it out?

You could use Widget Locker in the market. It's a paid app and I usually see it mentioned on various android blogs.
This is probably what you're looking for...

MIUI locker on the market works really well. Look for Black Ice theme and use that lockscreen.

Thanks for the app, I tried it, but there are a lot of bugs, and its half in what I'm assuming is Japanese.
I guess what I'm looking for is help or a point in the right direction as how to pull the locker from ICS and add replace the GB locker that comes with CM 7.1.

don't use the app to get the themes, all the ones from the app are from the Chinese servers so they will all be in Chinese and download extremely slow. There is a thread I the general themes section that has a bunch of themes all in English, there is an ice cream sandwich one in there.

SPB Shell 3d

Im looking for the SPB Shell 3d app, but im trying to get it for free. I tried a bunch of .apk files on 4Shared and all of them say "you have to purchase the app" is there a free working version of this app?
Thanks in advance.

Really? Damn that sucks lol. well thanks for the info.

You will find a lot of apk's saying its a cracked version, but they won't work for it. I bought it, but rarely ever use it. If it had more options to play with, then I probably would.
The concept of it is great BUT the UI design is just plain ugly. I would like to theme it myself though.
SPB Shell is cool in concept & design but for me at least, cumbersome in usability & lacking all around in user friendliness.
I use daily, but definitely lacking in options. Biggest so far is no option to increase number of rows and columns, and zero options for app drawer.

ssLauncher is definitely the most unique of the bunch. There is still one bug the developer is working on fixing and that is clock widgets are not updating. Besides that everything else had been pretty solid with it.
On ssLauncher, are you able to add effects like on GoLauncher?

There in effect that flips the pages like a magazine...The main thing with ssLauncher is that it gives you the ability to pretty much put anything, anywhere on the screen. If you want something more organized with a lot of screen transition animations, the other launchers would work better for you.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Launcher question.

I just have a silly question. Many of the roms have different launchers in place of rosie, or using the aroma installer they give you an option. Usually Nova or Apex, and many people still talk about launcher pro. I use Go Launcher and have for a while now. I have tried those others and several of them only offer some options in a paid version, while Go has it all for free. My question is why does everyone seem to neglect Go Launcher when building roms? No biggie, I'm just curious.

I guess I have never really noticed. It seems pretty fast to me. I set the scroll speed higher and it seems to fling right along. And features like hiding app labels, and missed call and sms notification (with a separate add on app) as well as others are all free. Just a preference thing, so its cool. I'm not down on the others or anything.

Agreed, the launcher itself is alright, but it is really bloated and needs lots of other apps to work well. It isn't that noticeably slow, but bad enough that I prefer Apex because of it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
The biggest problem with Go Launcher is that it has so much involved that it makes the phone slower thus making it feel "heavy". When developers create a ROM with a launcher the launcher needs to be light to begin with. It may still have great options that are important to most without extra frilly stuff as go offers.

Not sure what you are referring to with that comment, I don't get any of that. I don't see Go as complicated. Some of the things actually seem easier to me. I like the sms and missed call notifications, even though you do have to install the add on. But other launchers only include this on paid versions. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't mind someone making money. Would just like to see it as an option for the default launcher in some of the roms using aroma now. But I may be the only one and by no means expect any of our devs to do that for just me.

Why do otter penis sizes keep cumming up?
Yeah, I've found that Go________ has way too much ____________. It feels heavy to me. I want a launcher to be simple, and it seems that all Go stuff is anything but that. Having said, Go to it with your Go. If you like Go, then Go for it!
