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 everyone
I would like to say first that i did use the search but didnt find the answer i needed.
So here goes
I'm trying to install a full icon set on my Galaxy S I9000 but i have no idea how to do that
example:
DINIK's "HD2" IconSet
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591248
When i search i see people using bettercut or apps organizer and some other app to apply the icon packs.
I'm getting the idea you have to apply them 1 by 1 but i hope its not the case.
I'm using ADW launcher if that helps
many thanks in advance
I dont know if I understand you, but if you want to apply icon packs or multiple icons using ADW, then you need to install an ADW theme. Else you have to do it one by one using any other app (e.g. Bettercut) or using ADWs icon packs via the custom shortcut option. These only work on home screens as far as i know, I'm not sure if you can change the icon in the app drawer if you are trying to do that too.
Or you can just make your own ADW theme..
i've been looking for an app that can change icons (app drawer included) but to no avail. i'm using LPP
It would be great to be able to edit the drawer icons with ease, but dont think its possible

First of all... I am not sure if you know this but these icons seem to be for Windows Mobile and not Android so I dont know if they will work.
Secondly... I am running Launcher Pro Plus and use an app called Desktop Visualizer to change my icons.
What you need to do is find the icon packs in a zip file format and either unzip them directly to your SGS or unzip them to the computer and transfer the images to your device via USB. From there you startup Desktop Visualizer and follow the prompts for selecting the icon of your choice, linking it to its function, etc...
I hope this helps. If anyone has an easier way please advise...

Folder Organizer lets you assign different icons to apps/folders/contacts/etc. It automatically scans your system for icons, which is cool, but you still have to apply them one by one. This doesn't change the icons in the app drawer though. If I understand correctly, to change an app's icon you need to edit the .apk before installing.
@ jumba
i need better cut.. @ market it is paid.. is there any free link or lite version

Also Folder Organizer is VERY slow....
Clicking the normal icon is instant... clicking you handmade Folder Organizer version of that icon takes 2 secs before the app even starts.
Looks good, but slower then normal.
I think the only way to do the correctly is to edit the framework.apk or something.
Until now I have had no succes finding the icons in any apk to replace them...
Idealy you want to unzip an apk, replace al the icons you want and flash it back.

But to do that you need to resign the apk files (if it's a market app). Not a easy thing to do.
I made some icons for the Go Launcher and Launcher Pro so as to match as it possible with the ICS Themes and to show uniformity.
Will be continuously updated and added more.
Also You can ask the icons that interests. Of course I can't create icon for each application of the Market but I will try to do my best.
No need to change icons in the App Drawer or these are inside a folder.
We are interested only what we can see.
For any icon you want to make for you, please send me a screenshot of the icon in black background.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Instructions
Just download and unzip the file. Save the folder at your extrenal SD Card.
Press and hold the icon you want to change and select "Replace/Custom icon".
Select the folder with my icons and press on that you want.
ATTENTION: at the next step you have to click on the "No Crop" and then "Save"
Some icons they have at them title the word DOCK. For example PHONE_DOCK.png These are for using like Dock Icons.
Thats all.
Thanks to the OP... but how about this one

Sorry but I didn't understand the meaning of your post.
I write at my post: I try to make some icons so as to match with the GoLauncher icons (icon Folder).
Sorry if i offended you... it was never my intention... great to have some themer here... Thanks...
Hi, can somebody please advise me on how to make icons from a .psd file? I have CS6 and GIMP, (but no experience with either) and have been floundering around for the last hour or so trying to make even a single icon from the template, which is attached.
As a sidenote, I think it would be pretty cool (and useful) if somebody were to make a thread about this, as I am sure there are many people who would like to make their own icons, but don't have the know-how to do it.
Are you making a PNG icon? What I did was using a custom launcher (I use Apex in my case) so that you can change the icons on the homescreen using just transparent 96x96 PNG files.
To create PNG icons on CS6, CTRL+SHIFT+S to save as .PNG and transfer it to phone.

Yep, a .png icon. I'm already using a theme which has a number of themed icons, the problem is getting other nonthemed icons to look similar to the themed icons. For that, there is a .psd template included, but I don't know how to use it to create icons.

A piece of cake! Lemme explain it to you:
1. First of all, open the .PSD file you attached above.
2. Hide ("close the eye") of the layer that has the text on it (the one that says "Drag your image UN...")
3. Drag-drop the image you want to transform into icon onto the working .PSD canvas (not where the layers are as it'll open a new project)
4. Move the image generated UNDER the layer you hid on step number 2... Your icon will be created.
Then, you just have to save your image as a .PNG file by selecting this option in the drop-down menu after doing CTRL+Shift+S ("Save as a .PSD" is by default)
And that's all! Hope it's clear now!
PS: Additionally, you may change the base colour of each icon by unlocking the "Base for icon" layer and then applying a color overlay under the "Blending options" as well as hide/delete the background.

Thanks a ton, just a few questions.
1. After dragging and dropping the imageimage I want to change to an icon I have to "place" it, right?
2. After doing as told, what do I do if the image does not fit the base of the icon? For example, if it is too small?
3. After saving the file as a .png, the background still remains in the .png image. Is this normal?
Thanks again!

First off, if you speak Spanish (I think you do because of your name), you can ask me anything using that language. My mother tongue is Spanish, but I know some English as I studied English Teaching and Translation.
Concerning your questions, here you are the answers:
1. As I said before, you have to drag-drop the picture you want as an icon FROM a folder ON the canvas/working space (where how the icon will look like is). Then, you can modify it.
2. If the image is too short/large, you have to resize it. Simply, press Ctrl+T (assuming you're using Windows. If not, CommandKey+T), hold the shift button down (in order to mantain proportions) and drag the corners of the picture to resize it. When you're done, press Enter.
3. Which background? The one with the wood texture? If so, it is quite normal if you haven't hidden the background layer. As it is locked, you have to select the background layer, press the "padlock" on the layer section of PS and then you can hide it.
As I said before, feel free to PM me any question. If it sounds confusing in English (and if it happens you know Spanish), I can explain it to you (or make a screen cast if you have some time).

Thanks, I'll contact you by pm.

Are you stock rom user and feel bored with stock launcher.
why don't you make it more beautiful by read this little guide.
well, you can decompile Launcher.apk to edit anything you want but I won't explain this. we will use two module exposed, resflux and holo themer (root access is needed). Check this out!
Change color tile with your own color
open resflux> go to laboratory> find Launcher> tap color and there are so many resource
What should be changed:
icon_bg_blue
icon_bg_dark_blue
icon_bg_green
icon_bg_orange
icon_bg_pink
icon_bg_purple
icon_bg_gray (setting)
folder_bg (folder)
Done, reboot
Set background image on Launcher
open resflux> go to laboratory> find Launcher> tap color> find "Black" and make it transparent. I will use #00000001 for full transparent. Don't reboot, now move to holo themer.
Open holo themer> find Launcher> tap and change default to user wallpaper (don't choose "user wallpaper no titlebar" or you will get "Launcher has stopped"). Okay, reboot
Is it possible to use live wallpaper?
-yes, but only homescreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762794
For fastlane
Go to resflux> Laboratory> System (framework-res.apk)> tap drawble and search notification_template_fastlane_bg_normal
Make it transparent or just change the color, finish then reboot
Thanks for reading this little guide, I hope you enjoy it
good guide...

resflux stopped
Hi, when i try to change the color on resflux, pop up appeared.
"Resflux has stop"
what did i do wrong?
what should i do?
did it!
Hi..!!
It's me again. Thank you so much for the guide!
i finally did it. I downloaded the 1. 4 resflux version.
I managed to change the background and the icon color become transparent.
But i can't find the "notification_template" on resflux. where is it exactly?
Also, i know i'm biting more than i can chew, but can we also change the widget color into transparent?
Thank you so much in advance
P.S. I really want to post my screenshot here, but i don't know how. I tried to insert my image url from blogspot but it seems like i can't insert link from outside xda.
