Anyone using GO Launcher have the problem of some apps from Amazon Appstore not showing their image for the app icon. Instead they show a default silver square icon with gray squares inside. This happens for me with iheartradio, four in a row free, and guess the code. Try to install one of those if you aren't sure what I mean. Does the app's icon look ok in the app drawer?
I'm not rooted.

Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling
Having flagrantly stolen (been inspired by?) this Hubs UI, I'm now extremely close to having my Nexus 7 look and work exactly the way I want it. I'm using a combination of ADW, Minimalistic Text, Simple Text, and MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
However, I find myself confounded by one small piece:
The icons along the center bar are tied to custom App Groups. My problem is that clicking on them causes the app group to open directly over the center bar. I'd like it to open above the center bar.
Any ideas? Thanks!!!
There's a roundabout way to do what you want. With an app called Popup Widget, you can created a shortcut that, when clicked, makes a widget appear. You can control where it appears; one choice is above the shortcut, which is what you want. Now you need to make a widget with icons for each of the apps in your group. I do this with Elixir Widget, but I'm sure there are other programs that will work.
So: there's a shortcut on the black bar, when you click it a widget appears above the bar, and the widget shows the apps in your group. Of course, this all assumes you can put shortcuts in the black bar.
Haven't seen a thread for the HTC One M8 and would like to see what people have come up with. I hope that people would share their setups and how they did it, so others can get ideas and come up with something of their own.
If you post, please share how you did it, or whatever apps/Xposed modules you used. Also, if the Mods are not clear in the pictures, explain what mods are done.
This is all on the Stock 4.4.2 OS that is on the HTC One M8, it's just Rooted.
All of the Mods come from Xposed Modules:
EX-Themer[KK]
HTC One Tweaker
Overflow Mod
Sense 6 Lockscreen Mods
Sense 6 Toolbox
Smooth System Progress Bars
SoftkeysFadeMod
Tinted Status Bar
Unicon
XSense
*****Unicon is the only module that you download via the Google Play Store, and costs money*****
In the first screenshot, I have custom Icons via Unicon, the Icons themselves are from the icon pack Cryten. Also the Weather Widget is transparent. The Software Keys are smaller, taking up less real-estate than the stock.
In the second screenshot, the App Drawer background is transparent instead of black.
The third screenshot is of BlinkFeed, the Dock Icons disappear.
In the fourth screenshot, the Status Bar and Navigation Bar change color to whatever app it is in via Tinted Status Bar.
In the fifth screenshot, its the same as the previous one, just showing the change in color of the Status and Nav Bars.
In the final screenshot, the Nav Bar icons fade via SoftkeysFadeMod.
I like to customize things to a point where they look kind of stock, like it was made to be the way it looks. I don't like over the top mods. Show me what you guys come up with!
Going to start messing with the Notfication Background, lets see what I come up with.
Hope you guys enjoy!
The home screen thread is under the Themes and apps thread. There is also a bigger one under the international forums also.
Thanks for this. Must have missed it.
Mods, please close the thread.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's like that on stock. What ever apps you have on the lower part of your home screen, those will be displayed on the lock screen.
Anybody use the retrorika icon pack? Some icons are really horrible. Like the sms icon is a round circle with 3 dots not an envelope. When i hold on the icon it gives me a brush which allows me to ser icons but sheesh i dont see more 40 icons and most are icons of the alphabet letters. Something is weird.
Any help appreciated
I dont know what launcher im using actually. How would i check this? I somehow got the ixon pack to chnage my icons on the pages.
...
No one?
Dahell...
Man, to use icon pack you need custom launcher such as Nova or Action Launcher, if you are not sure what launcher you use then you probably have stock. Install mentioned launcher from Google Play and change icons in options.
Thank u. I have the icons up. The issue is the icons for some apps make no sense. The sms icon is a round icon with 3 dots. Id like to change it to an envelope but dont have that option. It says theres options for hundreds of icons but i dont see it
How can i get the number of notifications displayed on the app? There is only a dot without a number
I think we only got dots in the update. Theres a nova launcher addon that shows the count on the homescreen called tesla unread. You need to be using nova launcher for it to work though.
