hey guys im looking for a theme or launcher for the new update for the T999. However, i'm not rooted. I decided to unroot an take the stock download. Wondering if there are any good themes. I tried nova launcher and Apex but my= main interest is the battery at the top bar to be changed. I really liked the cobalt themes but i know you have to be rooted for them. Anyone shed some light if I can use a launcher to customize the battery widget at the top?
The only way to change that without rooting would be a Statusbar Replacement app from the market. Try "Statusbar+" I forgot the name of the other one

I have looked and searched and i cannot find a thread on this and i am thinking i might be barking up the wrong tree.
I run the stock launcher on cm7 and super cm7 and i would like to change the color of the three icons on the bottom or the homescreen and thats it. Colors of everything else i want to stay the same. Is this even possible?
I do not want to run lp or adw. I'll stay with green if thats the case.
If you change themes with the theme chooser it should change. That's if you don't mind switching themes.

Not to be a **** but the OP says I want everything else to stay the same. Why would you suggest switching themes.
Guess ill just figure out how to export this theme and change icons myself through theme manager. I was hoping maybe someone would know a quick and easy way of changing the color.

you should be able to modify the dock pngs in the launcher apk without trouble. I've changed colors around on a vanilla launcher before... just decompiled the launcher apk, changed the pngs I wanted to change, compiled and replaced the apk.. voila.
Awesome. Thanks.

You can use ninja morphology, that's how I got mattedblue colors on my stock launcher. Although ever since adw ex got updated I've been using it.
got the decompile thing down. guess all there is to do is find out how good i am in gimp.
thanks again
Why don't you use adw ex? It's so much better than the stock and you get to keep the gingerbread dock but customize icons and their colors...You really cannot go wrong...
I made upgrade my t989 yesterday from T989UVKL1 to T989UVLDE.
Problem is the live wallpaper and wallpaper which do not scroll in the picture screen. It stuck vertically. the horizontal wide image picture cannot scroll or to be taken into a wallpaper picture. Please let me know anybody know how to fix or how to downgrade to the previous rom.
Mine is not rooted. perhaps I need to wait to upgrade to ICS...
How can I save my stock rom before ICS upgrade? Please help.
Thank you
Root then do a nandroid backup.
As for scrolling wallpaper, use a different launcher that supports scrolling wallpaper like Go Launcher and ADW EX.

I had/have this problem too. I reloaded an earlier version of the stock ROM to get scrolling back. I went and updated to UVLDE again yesterday and my scrolling wallpaper in LauncherPro still works as long as I don't change it. You'll see now, regardless of what launcher you use, the selection window in Gallery is one screen wide. That won't change until the ICS update. So either revert to an earlier version of the stock system, load a custom ROM or wait until the ICS update hits Monday.
thanks and question
thank you for all who respond:rolleyes. I will try ICS upgrade first. However I am curious if there is any way to change stock rom without rooting?.....
Questions go in the Q&A section
What's going on guys? Seeing as to how this phone is super fast and snappy, I thought I'd create the first "Themes and Apps" thread for the Razr M
Almost as soon as I got the phone, I downloaded and installed Go Launcher, Go sms, go calendar, go task, go note, and go switch because thats what I'm used to and those apps/widgets kick ass...
but I know that the "circles widget" is supposedly really cool and the stock launcher wasn't too bad...so I was wondering, what launchers are you guys having success/fun with? Go launcher runs super fast with all the animations and whatnot, so I can definitely imagine the other launchers probably run great too
Stock Moto Blur Jelly Bean launcher!!!

A lot of people are either running with apex or nova these days. IMO they're pretty similar except the fact that apex has gestures included for free (which is one of the main reasons people use it) while as nova does not have gestures included. IMO I thought Nova was a little snappier but that's just one guys opinion. I recently switched back to the stock launcher because I missed the circles widget. Plus I might upgrade to jellybean soon but I'm waiting because there was a couple articles online that said the official version might be released this week! Prolly not... but better to have hope than none at all lol.

I'm on Nova, the paid version. Smoother and snapper, and gives me the freedom I need to do what I need.

I'm just addicted to themed icons, I think that's why I'm stuck on go launcher

Go launcher because of the themes also, but then went back to the stock because I also miss the circles widget.
I'm using Go Launcher also. Not really in love with the circle widgets, so that's no loss for me.
Personally, I'm not into themed icons at all. Or any theming for that matter. Prefer a stock (or close to) look. Using Nova Prime and the JB icon pack.

i know!! its so lame we cant use circles widget on 3rd party launchers.....itd be awesome if someone could create a hacked APK that if we sideloaded could let the widget be accessed by any app
+1 on hacked circle widget not a big fan of it personally, but good too have options
And I'm rooted on JB leak, debloated running blank all black lightning launcher with swipepad
Saves RAM saves battery works great no lock screen either
Nova Prime with JB leak. Pretty much installed that right away when I got the phone but I'm kind of curious to use the stock launcher, however I got Prime on sale and I love the gestures to add another 5 app launches from the dock.
I am using the razr m launcher in my inspire...

Hi,
I've just gone though the ROMS-CM 10 and Eclipse, but found that CM 10 has really bad speaker problems for incoming calls, which I could not, nor others users could not, work around. Although its the most interesting ROM and quite smooth, and allows for themes from Market. The Eclipse is very smooth and I think built better, but frankly boring. Neither of these allow for the Moto 3 rings, which I noticed nearly everyone in this string has missed or gone back to. Also, I'd hoped to be able to allow for the larger screen in a ROM, where the soft device tools at the bottom are eliminated (using changes in Build.Prop and the app: "Button Savior" as replacement-which is a fabulous app), and while CM 10 allows for their elimination, except for "menu" still the black area remains. Eclipse doesn't allow for this at all. Making the changes in Build.Prop works in CM 10 re: the screen but the speaker issue turned me away after awhile along with losing all notification alerts and signal strength meter.So back to stock moto and found that Nova launcher, with root, allows for, what seems, at least a %60 transparency on the bottom of the screen as well as the elimination of the top notification bar, but the alerts occur and incoming emails can be seen in the Lock screen-works well. So, I'm now back to stock w Nova, although the Moto 3 ring app cannot work on Nova.
Using Action Launcher. I love it.

Stock most of the time but occasionally Nova prime. If it weren't for the ugly Motorola icons I could probably live with the stock launcher all the time. One more clock widget free is certainly close enough to the circle widget to live with (except the text messages not showing up in it) on Nova and I enjoy the options of Nova but the stock launcher performs as good as any and is pretty close to stock android save the left most quick settings I could take or leave.

Hey guys I'm new to this and I'm currently running the jedi rom, I wanted to know is there specific theme launcher that I need for the jedi.
You dont need any specific launcher at all, it all boils down to preference. I personally like HoloLauncher HD because of how customizable it is. Most people use something like nova luancher,adw or trebuchet.

If you're looking to theme the rom it doesn't use a theme chooser. Just go the the themes section and flash one you like the same way you flashed the rom.
Just got next launcher on my Jedi Master 9 w/ BG theme, and although im still playing around with everything, there is definitely a very unique setup here...
Flashaholics should definitely try this setup as a DD for a few days!
Although Next Launcher is a pretty penny, one thing ive seen, worth almost half that itself, is atleast there is finally a way to get rid of homescreen gridlocks for icons/widgets!! One, can truly customize their phone and when you add in some of the other theme ingredients from a BG or CinHD, etc flash and it all comes out pretty amazing

I would like to has anybody found a way to to change or add icon packs while remaining on stock touchwiz launcher now I'm rooted at this time but I would like to keep touchwiz launcher but change how my icons look any help would be helpful

It's very simple actually to change apps and system icons if you are rooted and running custom recovery. That's how all available themes works. Launcher doesn't matter.
Get some theme, take a look at the zip folder/file structure inside and you'll see how easy is to replace any kind of apk resources making your custom icon pack.
Try anycut or bettercut and or desktop visualizer.
