I've seen a few people in the show us your homescreen thread who have text icons for the apps in their dock, I.e. sms, phone, net etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting them? I have both adw and launcher pro plus so either would be good(although my preference would be for adw) thanks in advance.

Look in the Market under ( A home/ Open Home Simple theme)
Will I be able to use those icons in either launcher pro or adw? Or will I need panda or open home to use it?

sorry u had to buy that, u coulda googled text icons for android, thats how i found mine. it led me to googling TallMin by lekky who has a ton of free text icons
Also, in addition to tallmin, search for simptext here on xda. Mine are inspired by both
Let me know if you want me to u/l the ones I've got
I like the look of your icons, the are very clean....if you could upload them that would be amazing

Nice work bro, now I have many options, lol....would you guys know how to use custom icons for launcher pro (not in the dock but everywhere else?) I really like launcher pro but adw allows you to customize all the icons/theme so that's what I'm using for now
Wow I'm really diggin the green and red sets that you uploaded, decal. Not necessarily a big fan of either colors (i'm more of a blue guy myself but that can easily be changed) but I think it's the fact that I can actually read them without squinting! lol.
Yeah if you have photo shop you can also make these. I took the launcher pro icons and opened them and made them black to go with my dark theme.

I am using these icons: http://digitalstylewars.com/?page_id=209
with Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro also lets you set custom icons. Just do the following:
1 - Menu->Add or long-press the screen to choose "Shortcuts"
2 - Choose "Applications"
3 - Choose an app.
4 - Touch the icon and choose any of the text icons you have downloaded.

TweakWiz!
A "Tweaked" TouchWiz Launcher​
What is it?
TweakWiz is my attempt at bringing some of custom launcher aesthetics to the default TouchWiz launcher. Sure, I could use a custom launcher -- and I have. I've tried dozens, but none of them can offer the same fluidity and speed that TouchWiz does. As I dig deeper within the TouchWiz code, more features will be added/unlocked!
Features
(NEW) Rotation support! (Adheres to system rotation setting)
(NEW) App drawer icon centered!
Labels removed from docked icons.
Drop shadow removed from dock icons.
Margins optimized to maximize space (where possible)
4x5 homescreen layout
Page indicators removed, space reclaimed.
Scrolling wallpapers.
Page looping disabled (scrolling wallpapers looked like crap with this enabled).
Installation
Download/copy appropriate version to internal storage.
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup!
Flash/Reboot
ROM Developers/Cooks
I have no problem if you wish to include this in your custom ROMs, I only ask that you provide a link back to this thread so users can keep up on any updates. For those looking to perform manual edits, see here.
Changelog
1.0
Initial release
1.1
Reduced app drawer margin slightly due to text cropping.
Added 5th row to home.
1.2
Adjusted launcher to eliminate overlapping of launcher icon "hot areas" and 5th row widgets. [sinichi21]
Adjusted launcher width to reduce "squished" appearance [eortizr]
Minimally Increased bottom padding on launcher to match positioning of icons (if any) on lockscreen
1.3
"Fixed" docked Messaging icon text re-appearing after a notification in portrait mode (still exists in Landscape)
Rotation support, and it respects your global rotation setting.
App drawer centered!
Re-adjusted margins a bit.
4x6 App Drawer in portrait and 7x3 in landscape.
80% app drawer translucency removed. (I'm not happy with how it appears on the screen, I'm working out a better method).
1.3.1
Fixed initial center app icon bug where app icon could sometimes be covered by another app icon when running TweakWiz for the first time.
Added optional NO_LANDSCAPE version (no rotation)
Added option NO_SCROLL version (no scrolling wallpaper, re-enabled page looping)
Known Bugs
Icon text re-appears below docked "Messaging" app after receiving notification in landscape only!
Custom
Like AOSP/ICS? Check out mrvirginia's custom version of TweakWiz! [link]
Thank you! A moment of your time, please..
As with all of my contributions (here and elsewhere), I do this for fun and expect nothing in return. However, I have received a couple donations in support of my work recently, and while much appreciated, they are unnecessary. In lieu of donations to myself, should you feel inclined, I would much prefer any monies be donated to the CNCF Hope (The Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation) instead. This is a cause very close to my heart and this organization would benefit much more from your donation than I ever would.
Again, no obligation or expectations -- a simple "Thanks!" would more than suffice.
Legend
NO_LANDSCAPE: Launcher rotation disabled, portrait only.
NO_SCROLL: No scolling wallpaper, page looping/infinite scroll is enabled.

Anything you can do with stock TouchWiz, you can do with this. So, to answer your question, yes.
Very nice!
Thanks for this.
This is great!!!! Will try it tonight!!! Would love to see more touchWiz mod as I cannot give up great camera app and those motion control comes with it....
I am wondering if OP can include some thumbnails and it's possible to theme it like stock JB launcher?? Like having the dock divider bar in place??
Huge thanks!!!!

Very nice mod! I have one suggestion; with the page indicators removed it has stretched some widgets and my 4x2 clock widgets are now elongated. I would recommend adding a 5 row version to use some of the reclaimed space. Good work with this so far.

I agree, a 5 for version would be great. The extra space is nice, but now there's just acres of space between icons I can't use. Want to pack that baby full. Wouldn't break my heart ot have 6x5.
But it is an excellend start. Always hated the text there telling me what I already knew...

Had to agree with it but there is one mod here on the apps that support that i have tried and i think by doing that mod made some widgets shrunk in sized too for example is the google music was supposed to be 4x1 it became 3x1 and it looks ugly you cant resized it at all back to 4x1. I would suggest maybe just return the page indicator if no solution can be done.

Updated!
1.1
Reduced app drawer margin slightly to text cropping.
Added 5th row to home.
Since this is just a launcher, can it run on an AOSP ROM like CMX or AOKP?
I would normally just make a backup and try myself but I'm at work right now and wouldn't be able to try until tonight.

This isn't "just a launcher". Its TouchWiz, and still requires TouchWiz framework. So it will not work on AOSP, AOKP, or CM.

Nothing special there if you saw the small refresh button below the right side of the s suggest widget when you try to hit that the app drawer get hit most of the time it takes multiple time and precise tap to hit the refresh button. Maybe because the screen indicator is remove so there is no boundary on the dock and desktop screen

But I don't want to root this GN2 yet because of warranty but enough said I want to change my dpi or just change the size of things and love a good launcher with lots of themes but not any launcher IV tried has abilities to change icon size or dpi...

I hate Go Launcher. It used to be great. Then they switched over to GetJar to download themes, and they have Free to download but pay to use themes. It's a huge mess. I personally like Nova or Apex. Although now that ADW has updated their app, I've been using that. I have to say it works pretty well, though each time I reboot I have to reset it as the default launcher.
I love the stock launcher with a few exceptions; I don't understand why they made the pages a 4x4 grid. The Note fully justifies a 5x5 grid. I wish that the other launchers gave you the ability to quick-scroll between pages in the homescreen and in the dock like the stock touchwiz launcher does.
I changed my DPI to 280 and use Go Launcher with a 6x6 grid and works very well. Now the stock Samsung keyboard and dialer did not scale correctly, but I use Swipe and the Go Dialer.
Adw has gotten as lot better and after a haitus from it I'm back and it's better than it had ever been

You could simply use one of the toolkits. And if something happens you can use it revert back to complete stock.

Well, I finally invested the time in learning enough about Lightning Launcher. It's really COMPLETELY different than other launchers I've tried, which is what I like about it. I've tried Apex, ADW, Nova and briefly touched GO -- they're all pretty much the same -- all pretty good. Lightning is kind of a big pain to figure out and it doesn't give the option for a scrollable dock, but you can pin, resize, rotate and arrange all icons, widgets and folder labels in whatever way you want, all on a zoomable, scrollable page. You can't really apply themes, but you can make up whatever you want. Your screen is really like a window onto an infinite desktop that you have full control over. It doesn't have the fancy animation options that the others do, so there's not a lot of "Wow" factor for others to see, but I have everything accessible from a single screen that doesn't feel too cluttered with icons. Lightning is free from Play and doesn't require root.
FWIW, here's a screen shot of my home page -- The two rows of icons at the bottom are pinned as well as the Google search widget at the top. Everything else moves and zooms in or out behind the pinned stuff. If I want, I can place other items above, below, or to the sides and just scroll to them. Lightning does support other pages that you can switch to with a two-finger swipe, and I use them as sort of a sandbox for trying things out, but everything I want is on my main home page.
I've been using atom launcher for a while first on my s2 and now on my note2. It will let you create folders which is nothing new but you can scroll with your finger or with the S Pen. Also you can vary the opacity of the icons on the home screen if you want to keep some what of a clean look. I'll post pics to better explain.

I am using Apex. Great launcher. Fast scrolling and screen transitions. You can install some nice themes and change the icon packs.

I'm pretty sure I've tried them all, and seem to always revert back to Nova Pro. Its fast, stable, has nice features without be gimmicky like Go and some of the others. Bottom line I want something that works that isn't at burden on system resource, Nova fits that bill.

Root modifies your devices's firmware, so...no :/
Okay, this is going to sound so stupid. Is there anyway to get the UI and launcher from 1.6 on our Nexus 4's? I just personally love the look. Is it possible?

check out the retro ui theme in the general themes section. you will need to be running a rom that supports themes...like CM10.1 or PA.
Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17319469#post17319469
Probably won't worth but worth a try.
There was a CM10 theme, not sure if it'll work. You could edit the grey app drawer dock/icon onto a wallpaper and use a upwards gesture from the bottom of the screen to launch the app drawer which is set to vertical.

Just tried them and it wasn't pretty, the notification bar icons were misaligned, and the notification draw was the standard black one from 4.2, such a shame.

I bought Transparent Launcher Premium, thinking that it would do it for me. Unfortunately though, it lacks many basic features that I think the developer should have implemented. There is no way to search for an application by name to make it a transparent widget (you have to scroll through all your apps in non alphabetical order), and you cannot make multiple transparent widgets for your app icons (has to be 1 by 1). Lastly, with my Note 2 I can't even have a 1x1 transparent widget, only 2x2. So please guys, any other viable options out there? I like to have a nice wallpaper to look at with most of the apps that I use still on my homescreen.
PS sorry for the rant :silly:
