xperia arc notifcation bar and homescreen help

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

GO Launcher app icon images are not displayed.

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?

Locking icons

[Q] How to prevent home screen icons from moving accidentally (lock icons in place)?)
I keep moving my home screen icons (widgets) accidentally, like when I try to pull down the notification bar.
Would someone know of an app or setting that locks the icons once one configures the screens?
Thank you.

If you use nova launcher you can lock all apps on all pages.

[Q] expand menu bar

Does anyone know of a way to expand the menu bar? Im looking to add more icons to the bar in a way that could be scrolled to access the new icons. There are some tweaks for jailbroken iphones that do this. Is there something like it for the s4?

what do you mean by menu bar?

I think he is referring to the quick toggles on the notification bar.

That's the "dock". Use a different launcher, I know Apex has that option. I'm sure most of the launcher does.

Remove the apps bar from the home screen?

Is it possible to remove the apps bar from the bottom of the home screen? Instead, I would like to put a horizontal widget there.

You mean the dock where the phone/text and app drawer icons are? With nova launcher you can.

Great, thank you
