Hi Guys,
I was just checking if I can get the Galaxy S like home screen on my DHD and found the TouchWiz Launcher APK in the forum. I was able to install this successfully but the Icons it is showing are the default Sense icons. Is there anyway I can change the Icons to Galaxy S like icons.
One thing... I have not rooted my handset yet.
Thanks.

Hmmm not exactly the answer you may be looking for but try purchase ADW EX Launcher. It has an iPhoneish setting which gives icons a coloured background and you can use the horizontal swipe app drawer aswell as modify the dock to a touchwiz style interface.
Regards.
I tried ADW Launcher with Gal S Theme which gave me Icons like Galaxy S. But In ADW, I am not able to select dock with 4 icons. The options are only 5, 3, 1 or none. So, I tried removing the Dock completely and extended the home screen to 5 rows so that I can use the bottom row as 4 icon dock. But the problem now is there is no dock at all in app drawer as well.

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?
Now I've looked long and hard on this one. Thoughout xda and any other site that is similar. But to no success. So I ask...
Where and/or how can I get a launcher that has just 4 icons in its dockbar?
The touchwiz one is slow and the homescreen is locked on the first screen "iPhone" style.
ADW launcher and its EX version have been updated to not allow the old "secondary AB settings" anymore.
Launcher pro cant do it period
And the open home launcher is too difficult and I cant pay for it. Used up this weeks app budget.
So I need a launcher that has 4 icons in its dockbar. The new MIUI.ADW launcher has it in its settings but I dont like the scaling and size of the app icons in the drawer and homescreens.
Any help please?
And I mean 4 icons as in similar to touchwiz. Three changable apps and one app drawer icon.
Well you could set up LauncherPro with only 4 shortcuts in the dock. Just leave one of the spaces blank.

Yeah but that makes it appear disorganised. I wan one that's spaced the way the toucwiz launcher is spaced. Go check out miui for adw launcher in the market. Some Guy managed to alter it to use only 4 icons in the dock. I would just use that one with a different theme, but the icons are blown up way too much.
Download launcher pro icons via the market you can change the appearance of you dock 100%.

So you can make the just 4 icons (including launcher) appear evenly amongst the entire dock? There will not be an open space where an icon should be?

I don't think so. I just tried LPI and didn't see any option of making it have what you want. I didn't play around with it too much though because I wanted to uninstall it within the 15 minutes so I didn't get charged for it.
I know what I suggested isn't what you are looking for it was just a thought. You might want to check out this themed version of LP though. It comes with icons in the first 3 dock spaces, then the 4th one blank and the app drawer on the far right. Doesn't look too bad actually.

It does look nice but its not quite what I'm looking for. Does anyone know a way to mod the Adw launcher to have 4 icons in the dock?
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher.miui&feature=search_result
I tried this launcher for a few minutes but I cant get the icons to scale properly with another theme. They all look blown up.
Why not just use ADW Ex with no Dock? This would put 4 Icons on the bottom row and you could make one the app drawer. I am not sure if free ADW has the option for no dock, but I know for sure the Ex version does. I think this way will give you the best most uniform look available.
Live home... but havent found it in the gb market

Why dont you flash miui, if your rooted obviously. It has 4 changeable dock icons that seem to be what your looking for. I personally like it, except it has no app drawer if thats a deal breaker for you. I dont mind it.

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.
Hey guys,
I noticed that when I go into expanded desktop mode on Pa beta8v2 there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen. It kinda cuts off at the middle of the icons and was wondering if there is a way to make the wallpaper go all the way down. Thanks in advance
its a issue with the launcher that you're using.
depending on what launcher it is (apex, nova, etc) update it to the latest
something that came with rom -> update your rom
I have it also on Nova Luncher, on Go Luncher and on CM10 luncher also :/
all 3 are cutting the photo and showing the icons that way .
Yea I just checked and it doesn't happen with the default launcher. That's a disappointment..... Hope they patch that up.
Hi there,
I have been using Nova launcher for years without problems. Yesterday I bought a Galaxy S9 +, and of course I also installed Nova launcher. But I have a problem with changing the icon of the application drawer on the dock. I can change the icon, but if I confirm, the icon does not change. It always remains the stock icon. I can change the other icons in the dock without any problem. Only that of the application drawer can not change. It makes me crazy because I have always been able to change this on my previous smartphones. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

I have been having the same problem on all my devices:
Moto G5s Plus
Samsung S8
Samsung Note 9
Samsung Galaxy Tab A
It looks like the dev will have to give this some love...
Came here to say this as well. Thought it may be because I switched to the Android 10 Beta on my OnePlus 6T.

As far as I know every android comes with a default launcher. In android 10 default launcher will have a dock that will show up in recent screen. Currently 3rd party apps cannot show their dock in recent screen (olny default launcher can). Yours' is a different problem. If you could remove app drawer icon from dock from default launcher it may solve the issue. Try reading this: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/force-android-10s-gestures-work-with-any-custom-launcher-0238065/ . It will make you understand better.
