Hi,
I saw some nice home screen design of Nexus 7, and it has modified app's icon.
How do you do that using the stock launcher?
Or is it not possible?
I remember that we can use "Desktop Visualizer" for example, but it is not compatible with Nexus 7.
The icon, that I got from the "Metro Station" is enlarged (see attachment, the one in the home screen).
My Nexus 7 is rooted if that can help.
But, I don't want to use other launcher
Thanks.
Unfortunately on the stock launcher you cannot change the icons or use any icon packs. If you want to, it would require the use of a launcher. I use stock but when I feel like changing it up a bit, I use nova prime. Performance is not effected at all. Its worth a try.

Please see the screen shot attachment in the first post.
I don't think it detects the Nexus 7 resolution and dpi properly.
Fyi, my launcher and all settings are still stock. No hack, no dpi change.

I use Metro Station for my icons. Apex launcher let's you change the icons and they look perfect... Well actually the Metro Station ones are a bit low res.

Hi,
What is this 1x1 ss widget?
I tried to search it on the play store, but I couldn't find it.

the picasa icon are from metrostation
i made the dock icons using the icon base provided by dark matter icon pack found on deviart

Just use any other Launcher and you can change any icon to any .png file you find online or in an icon pack. Or use a good photo editor and make your own.

You don't need to use another launcher. You just need to root and change the .png files.

I'm currently using wp clock for my homescreen clock. Previously I used fancy widgets which allowed me to map the weather icon to weatherbug, and the battery percentage to settings. Because wp clock is a live wallpaper and not a widget, I can no longer do this.
Is there an app out there that would allow me to assign an invisible area in the 2 corners for functions like weather and settings?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
the closest thing that I can think of is circle launcher. you can configure each individual widget to only have one icon/app plus you can make the circle widget completely transparent.
an alternative would be to use a 3rd party launcher (ie apex or nova) that allows you to change icons for any given homescreen icon. than just use a transparent icon or pic.

I'm already using apex, I may try your custom icon idea. Would be nice to be able to resize area to 2x2 though.

That worked beautifully, thanks!

Which icons are you talking about? Launcher, notifications, status bar? There are a few different ones. Is there a specific style you are looking for? What rom are you on and is it rooted?

it's time for an icon thread, I realized there are tons of great icons out there and some of us are on the search for just the right icons to go with our setup.

Tersus icon set. They are not glossy, there are lots of icons in the pack, they have nice backgrounds for apps that are not included in the pack. Definitely worth its price.
DCiconZ! Most beautiful icons I found so far. Best thing: they are free!

I'm using the gorgeous Sphere Theme icons free on the Play Store!
I've been switching between Circle White, Glasklart, and MNML White. Love them all and love the white look, but it really stands out when there's an app that doesn't have an icon yet. The colored icon sets do a much better job of hiding it. For color, so far I like Slate a lot, and I just downloaded Tersus to give it a try.

I'm running Pacman ROM and wondering if there is a way to make certain widgets (one's that are 4 x ?) fit when I am running the grid size with 5 columns. The problem is that they are off centered, and they won't allow me to re-size using the blue dots. Is there a certain resolution I can change the homescreen to, in order to make 4 x ? widgets become centered on a home screen that has 5 columns. Although I like the look and screen efficiency of having 5 columns, I can't stand that certain widgets (e.g., grooveshark and dictionary.com) are either off to the left or the right. Any insight on this would be appreciated, even if the answer is "not possible" that way I'll stop looking for a solution and just deal with a homescreen that only has 4 columns.
Thanks
If. Turn your phone horizontal, you can resize them.

Apex will give you more options that default cm launcher. That may be another option.
Hello all. I've been using nova launcher for a long time and I've been irritated a little because nova is not a complete replica of the stock android launcher (android 4.2). What I mean is, it looks similar but the spacing of the icons are not right (which I am able to adjust through nova settings) and the folder when opened its too close to the edge of my screen. Is there any other launcher that can possibly give me the closest feel to stock launcher apart from the stock launcher itself?
Thanks

That I can do, but what I don't like is how the folders are pushed to the edge. There's supposed to be a bit more gap than the whats in default by nova.

Except it's not. The icons are at the top of their "areas" so there's a large gap at the bottom and almost none at the top. Changing the spacing affects both, so they are never even. Widgets seems to work properly. This has always bothered me about nova.

Can't live without nova prime launcher, the fact I can place more apps in folders an get rid of the useless stock search bar at top is worth it alone.
my question, why would they make a replica of Default launcher? if they're making a launcher they want to make sure its different and nothing like the default one..
if you know what i mean.. and btw i use nova launcher and i think its pretty neat and easy to use..
nova launcher is the best
