Looking to replace some of the icons on Launcher Pro launch pad. Anyone have any sites or apps they can recommend. Tried some of the more popular ones in the market, but just haven't found what I am looking for yet.
Thanks, in advance.
Custom Launcher Icons in the market is pretty good, or just google (whatever icon your looking for) png photos. Just transfer them to your phone and replace whatever you want.

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?
Is there an application that functions just like launcherpro but with customizable icons? (not on the dock)
you can use whatever icons you want on launcherpro
Yes, but only for the dock
have you tried adw.launcher?
here's a previous post i made w/ a couple screenshots

If you're looking for something to change the icons of stuff on the homescreens, I personally use FolderOrganizer Lite for that. You just have to start up the program then change the icon or label then place a FolderOrganizer item and you're done. Another one people use is Bettercut but I never figured out how to use it correctly even though I own it...
Hi
I'm wondering whether there would be a hack so that Apps icons are showing without any label underneath (as it is the case for widgets). I'm looking for this feature for Froyo+Sense rom on my Desire?
Thx

this is one of the settings in ADW launcher. I think launcher pro allows that as well.
If you have one of the CM ROMs, you should already be able to do this (i don;t use CM roms, so i can;t tell you how to).
If not, you can download ADW launcher from the market and that will allow you to do it, along with all the theming as well.
Thx
I'll give it a try
I'm looking for an app icon widget for Sense that has the following properties....I have tried what feels like dozens but there are so many I simply can't try them all.
Ability to hide specific apps that I don't want displayed (so, a blacklist not a whitelist)
No text labels
Ability to be clear or at least mostly clear (see the wallpaper behind it)
Scrollable!
Preferred 5 column grid but not absolutely necessary
The closest I've found is the Folder organizer widget, but it doesn't seem to refresh the apps list ever so anytime I add a new app I have to recreate the widget again. Also, the scrollable function only works in third party launchers (not Sense). I have tried Launcher Pro and ADW but not a huge fan.

You have to remember that sense is closed source, so it can only do so much. Most widgets that I've found have extra functions for 3rd party launchers such as the ones you've listed.
If you want to hid or get rid of apps, the only way to do that is to hack-uninstall the apps (from what I've been reading around here). Not sure about being "clear", could you be more clear with that? I'm guessing you want transparent widgets?
You can use Desktop Visualizer to help you with your hidden text labels. I use that in combination with folder organizer and launcher pro. Launcher Pro is pretty well designed IMO. It does what sense does, plus more and there's a lot of widgets that seem to support it. You should take a look at the Launcher Pro screenshots created here, there's a lot of excellent customization that I believe will meet your demand. It's possible that you haven't found the look you want that will be efficient for you.

Thanks for your thoughts. Does LauncherPro have scrollable email and agenda widgets like Sense? (I know it has messenger although I don't love the implementation...)
Is it possible?
like most people i love the new folder system that ICS has, but i'd like to be able to choose the icons for the folders.
i know folder organizer and smart shortcuts can do the job, but i love the look and feel of the stock folders, so i prefer to use those.
i tried desktop visualizer but folder did not come up as an option. also did a quick search and found nothing specific.
*edit* on the stock launcher as well.
Adw ex has this feature
Sent from my Google phone
forgot to add that. stock launcher. i've used adwex, was staff on launcher pro and used go launcher. IMO the stock ICS launcher is better than all of them.
And if theres someway to get custom icons for the folders then it'll be perfect for me.
really? nobody in 12 hours? not one person has figured out how to get this to work?
