I just installed Go Launcher Ex. Is it possible to have the normal moto dock with Go Launcher?
The normal moto dock has the blue and red buttons for dialer and contacts. I'm not very fond of the Go Launcher dock which has transparent buttons...
Help please?

Im not sure about getting the Motoblur buttons but there are plenty of themes available for GoLauncherEX. Just check out the GoStore and get another theme.
You can also simply long press on the dock icon and chose replace/Custom Icon to change the icon from the transparent ones to one of your choice, or pick default icon to choose the Apps default icon.
The more themes you have, the more icons you can pick from.
hope that helps
Stick with GoLauncher, its got so many good things
Check this out.
Thanks for your reply pprakash.
It doesn't create the desired effect . There's no option for transparent icons on GoLauncher...
Is there any way to replace the GoLauncher dock with the original Motorola dock? (3simple buttons for call,app drawer & contacts)??
The second attachement is the Transparent icons. You can replace the DOCK background with the first attachement in the post and the individual icons with the Transparent one. You need to set two places for same action. For Ex. Left two positions should be dialer and right two positions to be Contacts.
@Prakash: Dude you're a genius! Thanks to you it worked perfectly!! Now I have the same old Motorola dock with GoLauncher installed. This is awesome!
One more question: Is it possible to remove the "Home" button/icon that appears at the bottom of the app drawer? It takes up an entire row of space which could have been utilized to show more app icons. As it is I can use the capacitive button to go back to the homescreen anyway.

@gamefrk ... I am not genius. Just sharing back what I learnt here .. Regarding the Home Button .. Not yet. It can't be disabled anyway as of now. Probably you can contact GO team for that ... they may release it in future I think. The workaround I use is Vertical scrolling. This makes Home button to be un-noticed
Even I use vertical scrolling, the home button doesnt go unnoticed for me...

Hi guys, any idea how to change the background wallpaper in the menu screen? It has always been a black background after pressing the menu button. Quite ugly looking. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes i would like to know as well how it can be done. I had once a HTC Touch Diamond 2 and the winmo had an optionto change thw wallpaper in both home screen and start/menu programs.

Would've been cool to know how to do this...
i want to know the same
You mean when you press the apps icon and it takes you your installed apps? that background? or your dock background? Dock backgrounds easy so id guess the other may also be, backup your touchwiz30launcher.apk throw it on pc use winrar to check it out res/ drawable-hdpi folder. There should be a .png in there to change it i'll check tonight if time permits..
Did it worked?
I have Louncher Pro, do I need to change it to touchwiz louncher?
thanks
hey guys
adw launcher allows you to have a transparent background you will still see your homescreen pic, or u can change to any coklour you like and it also comes with themes you can download to spice up icons and layout and so on. thats the free one. there is also adw launcher ex which comes with animations and more
I want to know how to change the background of the menu's (and I don't mean the background of the app drawler as mentioned in the post above. i know how to make this one transparant)I mean al the different menu backgrounds. Now they are all black.
Hello, all.
I have tried searching to no avail.
While experimenting with different roms, I know certain roms come with the app drawer reflecting 5 apps going across the phone instead of the stock 4. My question is: Is there some kind of flashable file that can make the app drawer show 5 apps going across it?
Thanks in advance.
I use adw launcher and it can hold 5

Yea, but I'm one of the few people that like Sense. I was hoping one of the devs had made a flashable file that I just wasn't able to find.
One thing thats different about android and WM is the fact that it isn't as easy to make a flashable file for ALL ROMs. What happens is in this case for example is the rosie.apk has been modified to show 5 x 5 icons. That rosie.apk also contains some the graphics that make up the rosie (some are in another apk as well). So what would have to happen is someone would have to create a rosie.apk for each style of rosie currently available or maybe someone would create the file just for you. They could most likely do it if they new what rosie you were using. In WM it was a simple modify a registry setting or add something to the registry.
OH and just as many people like Sense as people that don't. I like it.

Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

I've done my research but i couldn't find any answer
Does anyone here work with the Go Launcher EX Theme template? If so, can you please post a tutorial on how to add docks to the template for use on the homescreen?
And if possible also, how do you add a background on the APP Drawer?
Thank you in advance!

To change background of app drawer:
1. Go to home screen
2. go to Preferences > Theme Settings > App Drawer Background > Custom Background
Now as far as adding docks to the template.....I think they only have a template theme creator for Go SMS.....not Go Launcher. Other than that I'm not sure I fully understand what you are asking. Are you wanting to change the look of the icons on the dock bar or are you wanting to change the background of the dock bar?
To change the way the icons look you just long press the icon you want to change, select "replace," and then choose whether you want the apps default icon, the theme icon, or a custom icon.
If you want to change the dock bar background go to Preferences > Theme Settings > Dock Background
Below I've included thumbnails of the icons and dockbar I used to use. If none of these are what you're trying to do then let me know.
Theme template?
Can someone tell me where the theme template can be found or any other way of creating Go Launcher Themes. I can't find it on their site. Looks like its been taken down. Thanks in advance.

That is my home screen. As you can see it is manly the wording and I would like to get everything including the settings, phone, sms, and web, and possibly the app drawer to say "settings, phone, sms, web"
If it is possible to put them into the roboto font also, that would be fantastic to match my soft keys
Thank you!

You want something like a theme, but instead of just changing the icons into different pictures you want them changed into text. Try asking in the themes section, if you get enough people who want it somebody might make it. The only problem I see is that there are 350,000+ different apps that could be in your app drawer. I don't see anyone having the time to change ALL of those possible icons unless you were paying them a full time salary.
