If you long press a icon on your phone then let it go as soon as it goes to edit mode you can change the icon. But there are only a few icons to choose from. Where is the folder located that contains these icons.????
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

There is a shortcut for the home screen. It look like a little house, as I can see it in the icon pack, but where is the actual shortcut to put on my home page? I have looked everywhere in the settings and can't find it. Can someone point me on the right direction please?

OK, so I think you're asking about an icon to take you to your homescreen... Correct?
If so, you long press on a blank spot on a homescreen, select launcher actions, move to default desktop. It won't have the little house icon, but it will do the job.
After you do what jtcarnes says, longpress the new icon, select edit, touch the current image, select ADWThem IconPacks, and the select the house/homeplate icone with the android in it.
Mates,
KE2 with OC KDD kernel; TW4.
How do I change the default apps by pressing Contacts or SMS?
I want to use 3rd party Contacts and SMS app; but still want to use TW4...
Open applications menu. Click menu button and choose edit. For message program change: Drag message icon out into the application area. The drag gosms onto the apps/icons bar. Hope this is clear.

Ahhh; sorry mate; didnt explain clear enough. Got a customized theme; and because of this the icons are according to the theme; but if I change the SMS icon with the Go SMS; then I loose the customized icons.....
But thanx for the tip though :=)
Ahh OK. So to keep the icons the same change the shortcut link different I suppose another option, rather than change the shortcut link, would be to change the icon/shortcut and then change its icon to the your theme.
I have no idea which is easier and how to do it unfortunately so just putting it out there in case it helps. I guess for both these things you may need to root your phone and get a more powerful file browser.
I've seen quite a few posts for specific battery percent modifications and quite a few equests for them, specifically in theme threads so I decided to try my luck at a write up on how to do it yourself. This is my first every How To so hopefully it comes out ok.
Experienced Senior members, please let me know of any changes or corrections I should make. Thank you!
Typical Disclaimer, Do this at YOUR OWN RISK. I take no responsibility for any issues this may cause you!
The first section will just be a basic how to utilizing the UOT (Ultimate Online Theme) Kitchen. The second part will go over how to figure out the html color code of a particular theme so you can create your OWN battery % to match. NOTE: DO NOT post any battery percent mods of other developers/creators themes. That should be for yourself. If you want to share them please PM that developer/creator and offer for them to add it to their add-on section.
Required Software NOTE: This write up is for software on a Windows Machine. I do not know what software to use on Linux or OSX, sorry.
1 - 7-Zip or Winrar. I prefer winrar but it is a paid app.
2 - Instant Eyedropper. This app is ONLY required if you're trying to match a specific color. The Green already provided on the UOT matches that of Gingerbread so if your matching stock colors you won't need this.
Section 1 - Basic How to Create a Battery %
Thanks goes out to the creators/maintainers of the UOT!!!
If you decide to use the UOT, I recommend donating to them. It is an amazing tool that they offer for free.
- Go to the UOT.
- Click on Kitchen. NOTE: You will see there a many options that you can play with to build your Theme the way you want. I recommend trying them all! But this write up is for Battery Percent only will will only cover that.
- Click on the Battery Tab and select the "Use this Mod" check box. There will be 2 options here Custom Battery (fully customizable) or SCB with % (preset colors/designs). Proceed to 4 for SCB with % or 5 for Custom Battery.
- Like previously stated, this is a set color. Select the one your interested in and you will see a preview of what it will look like. If you use this option, then proceed to step 6.
- Custom Battery Option
- First determine if you have a white or black taskbar and select which you have. NOTE: I believe only those using CM7/AOSP will have a white taskbar.
- Now select the Battery Icon you are interested in. To preview them select the battery then click Generate Preview on the right.
- Next select one of the 3 charging animations you would like. This is what your phone will display while plugged in (charging).
- The next section is where you can customize the color of the battery icon at different levels. They default to Red low, Amber moderately low, Yellow midway, Green moderately high and blue mostly to fully charged. NOTE: You can find a list of HTML color codes here. Moving on you will see a color code for the Inactive portion. This is the surround of the battery. Color code for the internal portion of the battery and color code for the numbers inside the battery. Customize this how you want. You can click Generate Preview at any point while customizing to see what your battery icon will look like.
- The last portion of the color section is the percentage drop down. This allows you to customize at which percentage you want each color to change. NOTE: If you want to get rid of a color and go down to 4 or even 3 colors to do this set the part (highest number of colors you want) to 100%. This will eliminate the next Part up. I.E. Set Part 1 to Red, Part 2 to Amber, Part 3 to Yellow and Part 4 to green but change Part 4 to 100%. This will eliminate the Blue part.
- The last section are just a few check box options. Play with them and see what you like.
- Open your zip program and extract the ROM that you are using to any location that you like. NOTE: If you are using a Touchwize ROM you will need framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. If you are using CM7 or AOSP you will only need framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. framework-res.apk and twrameworkres.apk are both located in the system/framework folder. SystemUI.apk is located in the /system/app folder.
- Back to the UOT click on the File Upload tab. On the right side under "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" select Upload System Files.
- Click on the Select File option under framework-res.apk and locate/upload that file. Do the same for the SystemUI.apk and lastly the twfreamwork-res.apk (ONLY if you're using a TouchWiz ROM).
- Once everything is uploaded select the Summary tab. Here you will see your Battery in Green and your uploaded files in Green. IF IT'S NOT GREEN SOMETHING IS WRONG. GO BACK AND FIX IT. If everything is green then click Submit Work to Kitchen on the bottom left.
- You will now see your order number. Write it down if you'd like. After you've recorder your number click on Click here to go to the pickup page!. Once your theme is cooked it will show up here under Your recently cooked files. It will take a bit to cook and can take a long time depending on how busy the kitchen is. BE PATIENT!!!!
- Once it is available download it and put it on your sdcard. Boot into recovery. MAKE A BACKUP!!! and then flash the theme like it is a ROM. Reboot and Voila, you now have battery percent.
Section 2 - How to identify a specific battery color.
So you have this great theme that some awesome dev created but you want battery percent icon for it. Problem is you don't know what color he used. Well, we have a fix for you.
- Extract the ROM using whatever archiving program you use.
- Navigate to /system/framework or just /framework depending on how it was cook and find the file framework-res.apk. Now open that file in your zip program and navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi and locate the file stat_sys_battery_100.png and drag that file to your desktop.
- Install and launch Instant Eyedropper. Left click on the icon in your System Tray like it says. Keep the mouse clicked and drag the cross hairs to the .png you have on your desktop. You will see it display the HTML color ID of that icon. Write it down but note that when you un-click it automatically copies that ID to your clipboard.
- Use this color code is Step 4 of Section 1 to create a custom battery that matches your theme. NOTE: To make all percentage levels the same color just past that code in all Parts, 1-5.
well done...Also it has a video tutorial...

Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro Theme
Hey everyone!
AdA here with the promised Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro layout.
*Features*
-authentic replica Sense 4.0 clock (Minus flip animation)
-HTC Icon set
-HTC Sense 4.0 Wallpaper
-(For those with Launcher pro plus) Dark Transparent sense look alike widgets
-Scrollable dockbar
And the best part is it works with any rom.
Rooted or unrooted? Doesnt matter!
This is in no way a Sense "port" just a themed version of Launcher pro!!! enough said.
Lets get down to business.
(1) First off download all 6 of these files to the root of your SD card.
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345437/launcherpro_backup.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345438/Black_Sensus_4_Clock_Gnex.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345441/HTC_HD_icons.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345443/scene_wallpaper_htc_default.jpg
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345450/Sense_4_clock.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345452/lunapic_133773859928208_2.png
(2) Extract the two Zip files with your choice of file manager program.(Do not change the directory just extract) I use ES File Explorer.
(3) Download Launcher Pro from the market and let it install. (If you want the transparent widgets seen in the pics you have to have Launcher Pro Plus)
(4) Press your HOME or HOUSE button to return to the Home screen. If launcher pro was installed then you should have been prompted to select a launcher when you pressed the home button. Choose Launcher Pro and set it as default.
(5)Now press your MENU button once you are at the HOME screen. (Generally on the far left at the bottom of most phones.) Select Preferences. Scroll to the bottom and select Restore Backup. Click yes or restart when prompted.
Halfway there!!!
(4) Navigate to the Root of your SD card with your file manager and select your choice of white or black Sense 4.0 Clock to install it. (You may have to select the unknown source option if prompted)
(5) Return to homescreen and hold press on the screen and select widgets. Select your Sense 4.0 widget you installed. You will have to resize it once its applied by hold pressing on it and to set up the weather and other settings go into your app drawer and select the Sense 4.0 clock you installed to set it up.
(6) Return to homescreen and hold press and select wallpaper. Choose gallery or whatever you use to select images and select the Sense 4.0 wallpaper I had you download.
(7) Now you are about done, you may have noticed that none of the icons work on the dock bar. There are by default 5 icons to the dockbar. I have three of them in the middle using a 100% TRANSPARENT Icon that you downloaded with the rest of the files (lunapic_133773859928208_2.png now located at the ROOT of your SD card)
If you swipe the dockbar to the left you will see five grey plus signs. That is for your second page of icons if you so choose to set multiple pages up.
Go back to the first page of icons.
The first icon on your RIGHT (the message bubble) Hold press it.
It will bring up "Edit Dock shortcut"
This is where you are free to customize what you want where on your dock bar.
Select change shortcut
select applications
and select what app you want to go there I had messaging by default but this is your choice.
Then choose custom icon
It should take you into your defualt gallery app. Locate the Sense Icons I had you download and choose the corresponding icon with the app you chose.
Done. That is the process to set up your shortcuts on the dockbar.
(8) The phone button in the middle has 3 seperate 100% transparent icons. Hold press on each one and select the phone app as the shortcut application. When it asks you to select an icon go back to CUSTOM ICON and find the lunapic_133773859928208_2.png (it comes up as a black blank square on my E4GT in the Gallery) select it and it will make the icon disappear but you can still select the phone.
I used the transparent icons as an overlay over the Dock Background to make the dock theme work right and look good.
That should be about it.
Play with it, Tweak it, Redistribute it, Whatever... just enjoy it.
and dont forget to say thanks if you like it!!!
Enjoy,
Ada

It's not intended to be exact. Just a theme for launcher pro that will give you the feeling of sense without the ram usage that follows.
Keep it crispy, :highfive:

Does anybody have an idea on how to get rid of the blue user icon at the top right of the lockscreen?
you can not get rid of it you can only change the picture.
To do so: press on icon->settings-> press your name and then press on icon to change it

You can also sync it with Google+ if you tick the right options in the app's settings and select within your account details.
