Hi all i change my rom to Oxygen (stock gingerbread) and send away the Sense.
Is it possible to chage the ShortCuts of the home luncher?
The stock ones are Cellphone - AppList - Browser, i would like to switch the browser to messages.
Is there any way? I don't want to use Luncher Pro or any other 3rd party luncher.
Thx in advance
3rd party launcher unless you change the apk. There is an app to do it somewhere. Was in the news section a few week ago.

Whenever I select the phone feature in the dock (on the home screen) it states "Application not Installed." There is no settings for Android Launcher or dragging over the app to replace the existing one doesnt work either. I'm assuming i'll have to uninstall with titanium and restore it but i dont have the basic launcher. Can someone tell how to place that icon on the home page or just reflash/reinstall android launcher?
thanks
the stock launcher is not customizable. You have to either have the AOSP dialer installed, or that button will not work.
I'm sure someone could modify the stock launcher to work with the sense dialer (it is open source after all) but I haven't ever seen it done.
Launcher Pro and ADW are both built off the stock launcher, so there isn't much of a downside to using one of them.
Hi,
I'm new to the whole root thing and just rooted and installed Oxygen v2.0-RC7. I'm verry happy with it, its awesome!
Now i like to experiment with the themes and dockbars used in the rom.
my question: Is there a way to change the dockbar in the rom without using any third party apps like adwlauncher, launcherpro or zeamlaucher (because Oxygen v2.0-RC7 is now launcher2). i don't like the standard: phone - appdrawer - browser setup.
Just being able to add messages and gmail to the dockbar would be great for now, but is this possible using only stock Oxygen v2.0-RC7 or do I need more custom apps (which then slow, use more battery then stock ? or is this usage not relevant?) ?
Thanks in advance!
You would have to edit the launcher2 app to change the dockbar. But a much easier approach to it would be to install ADWLauncher or LauncherPro or another launcher. But as for apps using resources. Apps will stop running after a certain period of time because that is how Android was built.
Dear all,
I want to learn that how can I add or remove additional homescreen pages from Galaxy Nexus. There is no information about this even google. Before there was an icon for displaying all homescreen pages and you could add or remove new homepages.
Thanks,
What launcher are you using?
If the answer is stock you cannot add or remove pages.
you cant add or remove homescreens on the stock launcher
if you want to do that, you need to install a third-party launcher from the market
I have tried Nova launcher which works pretty well and is based off of the stock ICS launcher
I am using original firmware, not custom rom and it is pure ICS. What do you advice to me for modifying homescreen pages,
Regards,
Since you're bone stock you really only have the option of using another launcher i.e. nova, apex (they use the resources from and function just like the stock launcher with added options) or adw, go, lp+ and many others. If you end up on a deodexed rom then you have the option of editing the "stock" launcher yourself By reading this.
good day.
Thank you very much for your replies and advices, I installed Nova launcher and i can organize them now.
Thanks again.
How is Nova? I'm currently on adw ex and was eyeing the "tsf shell" does Nova live up to the test?

ive tried almost all the launchers available in the play store and the problem is that the icons get rearranges in automatically when any new launcher is installed is there a way by which the launcher can adopt the deafult set of placements of the icons which are placed originally???

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.
Im not usein be launcher its the deafult i want the launcher 2 adopt my deafult icon set

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

As questioned, is there away to remove or change the app draw icon on the homescreen on stock launcher, i was hoping tweakbox would have an option to remove/change this.
I know i could use visualizer and make another one - but thats no use when the icons still there
I prefer a 3rd party launcher, but when using the Home launcher I use ThemeX to extract icons and/or wallpapers from my apex/Nova themes and icon zip files.
I've found some LG home themes with app drawer icons I could stomach and would apply it and then change my other icons. Not a solution, just sharing.
Is that an iPhone 6 ?......."LMFAO!!!!"… said my G3
Yea i usually use a 3rd party launcher, namely Holo - but i noticed it runs like poo on the G3 - stock was far better.
However i tried Nova today - much MUCH better, ill be sticking with that for a while, its much faster than stock for me anyways.
and i can ditch that icon
I also was wondering how to change some icons out with the stock launcher. I don't want to lose the knock knock on/off functionality, so I'd prefer not to switch launchers.

Do I lose anything else by switching from the stock launcher?
I think the stock weather, But you can switch back to the stock launcher back and forward.

if you use xposed you can use unicon to change the icons with stock launcher and you dont lose knock on/off.
the unicon beta which works without problems on my d855 can you get from here... you have to join the unicon g+ community and beta program on google play, then you can download the unicon beta but the procedure how to get the beta is there explained
Awesome, I'll check that out, thanks!
