How to rename instaled apps?(e.t.c calculator, calendar, camera...)

is it for how they appear on your homescreen? use folder organizer app or another home like adw. if it's for how they appear in the app drawer you'll have to do a bit of dev work...

I need some help with widget installation

I am trying to figure out how to install my friendstream, messages, and calendar widgets while running ads launcher. Is this possible or are their framework issues?

Assuming you mead adw launcher, you cannot run htc widgets, as adw isn't technically a sense launcher. I believe you can get some widgets off the market that will work though.
Yeah adw* and I figured it wasn't sense based and also I have the .apks in my app folder, I just don't have the option of setting the widget. Anyway to add them in the list of widgets for adw through astro?

I suppose it's possible, but I still don't think they will work on ADW. I don't use Astro, so I don't know if adding them is possible.

[Q] How to remove labels on the "desktop" ?

Hello,

press and hold the icon and drag it to the bottom 'Remove' option that appears.
Edit- I am telling about the HTC sense based ROM. Dunno about yours.

That removes the entire shortcut He just wants to remove the labels. No idea if it's possible on Sense though...
It is possible but there's no universal way to do it. You need to modify your rosie.apk to get them removed.
Look for an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" or "Multicon"

There is an app called apk manager, or apk editor...
You can use it on your pc to edit your apps (icon,label,etc...)
It's created by an xda member... Google it!
With this app you can remove labels.

Different app instead app drawer button ?

Is there any mod or any way to put any app (like browser or phone) to dock in the middle instead of the default that takes you to app drawer?
You can use a different launcher like launcher pro and set them up however you would like.

I know that in apex/nova/go launcher you can apply a theme to the icons but is there an app that can change individual icons of apps?

put the icon on your desktop of android hold on it click edit then the icon and change the icon images to your liking
You can search your browser for "icon".png and download any picture you find to your gallery and change to it ("icon" being the subject you are searching for).
Desktop visualizer is the best for that sort of thing. You need to grab icon packs from somewhere first though.

I think "Folder Organizer" is a good choice for what you're looking to do. It's not a full launcher that takes over the U.I., but it allows you to create folders, have nested folders (folders in folders), assign custom icons for folders and apps (using icon packs or .PNG images), and it helps keep tabs on all your apps. One of the features I like the most is the various folder widgets that allow you an extreme amount of options for displaying open folders including icon sizes, text captions on/off, border options, etc.. Lots of other features but the ones I listed seem to address what you're looking for. Here's the link:
Folder Organizer by Fabio Collini (there's a free version as well)
Thanks for the apps, but I would like to be able to change the icon in the drawer too!

You could allow widget overlapping and place the folder over the widget.
