ive tried almost all the launchers available in the play store and the problem is that the icons get rearranges in automatically when any new launcher is installed is there a way by which the launcher can adopt the deafult set of placements of the icons which are placed originally???

Your current launcher needs to have feature to 'backup' its settings, then your new launcher must have feature to 'import' setup from another launcher.
Im not usein be launcher its the deafult i want the launcher 2 adopt my deafult icon set

There is no "default icon set". Icons you have on the "desktop" are part of the launcher. If you change the launcher - no icons. Unless, as tweeny80 stated, your new launcher can import settings from your old one (which is slim chance)...
Nova launcher gives the option to import from another. Holo laucher gives the option to use the holo icon theme or the stock theme therefore y o ur icons will be stock. Hope this helps.

I am currently running Darky Rom 9.5 with Crysis Revolution Theme. I love the the style of it and the themed launcher. The only thing I would like to change is the app drawer. It is currently horizontal scrolling and I would like to change it to vertical 3d app drawer. Unfortunately, there is no launcher specific setting to modify.
Does anyone know of a way to change this. I am guessing it would require to modify the apk or something similar.
what launcher is it ??
have you opened the app drawer and pressed the menu button and see if the option is there ?
it is for some launchers
It looks to be a tweaked version of TWLauncher. I looked, but there is no specific settings or or preferences for the launcher. I was hoping there was because that would have been the easy solution. Thje only launcher that I have found to have this option is just called launcher. I am guessing that it is a ported version of the stock Froyo or Gingerbread launcher.
you can't change this in the app, but instead you can use the gingi launcher. It won;t have 5 dock bar and transparency but still... I recommend Go Launcher.
Is there any way to arrange the icons in Go launcher EX as they are in TWLauncher? I hate the idea of all my apps being in alphabetical order considering in TWLauncher I have them exactly how I want them. is there any way to automatically arrange them or do I have to manually set them up as they are in TWLauncher? Thanks!
search go launcher ex themes by eSeth, they had made TW theme
never mind...disregard.
Using a custom launcher this can be done.
You can use Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher and then change your icons manually - no automatic changing of all icons. This way you keep the ICS look and feel
You could use ADW, LauncherPro or Go Launcher EX which support themes so you could change all icons at once and you can also find plenty of themes around. You lose the ICS look and feel on the other hand...
There ale also some other apps that only change your icons but here too you'd have to do it manually.
So, until some launcher comes along that is based on ICS and supports themes, these are about all the options you have.

hmm, ok. thanks
I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
Hi,
I have a big issue with the fact that I can't change the app icons to the ones i want. If I try to use apps like Icon changer, i am warned that "Your launcher may not support creating shortcut via Icon changer ", hence I am not allowed to do so. How can i fix this ? I don't want to install icons from certain icon packs, I want to change them with specific pngs.
Thank you in advance,
Liviu
Use a 3rd party launcher, like Nova. Or wait for the developer to update Icon Changer. The phone has only been available for a few days, and I suspect a number of apps will need to be updated to support it.
I am surprised about the small icon size when you put a few icons in a folder. I change the resolution to HD+ but that makes them no much bigger.
Pixel 2 launcher show's much bigger icons using folders but I like somehow the stock launcher.
Any ideas how to make the icons in folder look bigger?

At first I was not that happy with Nova but.....
I found a backup for the S9 and did import and hat to tweak it a bit.
Here a screenshot of the touchwiz and one of the Nova launcher.
Touchwiz is the first thing I dump on a tablet or phone and I've used Nova since it first came out. Lately though I've been using Microsoft Launcher (formally Arrow) and like a lot if it's features.
