[Q] Vanilla Icons

Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

[Q] How do you install buttons/icons?

Hi there,
I've been looking around on how to install buttons, but I can't find anything. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance
Edit: New extra question XD. I downloaded a theme with 4 lockscreens. How do I switch between them? (Using Darky's ROM)

Depends on the launcher. I'm not sure how other launchers handle it but in ADW (EX) you just can longpress a shortcut icon to assign a new icon to it
I would also recommend ADW Launcher - has lots of free themes in the App Market, too & great settings customisation
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm. Is there any possibility to do this via launcherpro or do i need to get ADW laucher?

Same process as ADW for launcher pro, long press change icon> custom icon (presuming you have some custom icons) .....
Ummm I want to change the icons of my home menu not the icons from my launcher. I can't figure it out tbh... just doesn't work the way you say it. Am I doing something wrong?
Anyone?
/10chars
Anyone? Is it Launch Pro dependant? The installation of custom home icons that is?
The threads of the originators I've come across don't have any guides as to how to do it.

[Q] ADW Launcher

He guys, I have a question: is it possible to hide the adw dock when opening the app-drawer?
I've been searching the adw menu for hours but I can't find any solution for my problem.
I use CM 7.1.0 and in the beginning, I think I had such a configuration (not pretty sure).
Thx in advance
Menu > ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer Settings > Full Screen.
That's using ADW Launcher EX, I assume the setting is in the same place for ADW Launcher.
Unfortunately there isn't such a menu point to find. I made some screenshots of what I can see in UI-settings. Is it possible that the 5 icon dock inhibits what i want?

Don't think it's anything to do with the number of icons on the dock, I can use 5 here with full screen app drawer without a problem. I guess ADW EX has its settings menu laid out differently to the normal ADW launcher (screenshot attached of the relevant option in ADW EX); maybe it isn't possible in the free version then?
Edit: This post by the ADW dev seems to indicate that it was a feature added to ADW EX, so you might have to stump up the £2.00 for that version if you want it that badly.
That would definitively explain why I can't find a way to do that. What confuses me, is that I think I already had the dock disappearing, I must be tripping
So I guess I have to purchase ADW EX. It could be worse^^
And a big thx for helping me!

[Q] guide to hide default app drawer icon in dock on CM11

hoi board
i searched the board but failed to find an answer to my question:
how to hide the default app drawer icon from CM11 trebuchet laucher.
i have a replacement app drawer installed on my S4M and want
to hide the default app drawer of trebuchets without installing
any other launcher!
can i somwhere 'hack' a setting file to hide the default icon?
so i am looking into a ressource-hack or so in particular,
and not an other launcher!
consider that before posting answers
like: yeah, use nova it is the best of all an can do that.
nova or others cant!
they replace the whole launcher and they can be customized
to not show a dock and/or a drawer-icon.
i want to stay on CM11 trebuchet!
...
hello world
