Hey XDA
Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but it was the closest place to post it.
I've recently been experimenting with some customisation setting with my GS3 running AOKP and I have the Nova Launcher Beta with the 4.4 UI, and I'd came across some really awesome icon packs available for Nova Launcher, but I feel it would be better for me to make my own; one that would be suited to my liking.
So today I've done some research on the topic and have come across a very little amount of tutorials. I have also found a website called iconpackgenerator. This seems good just I'm not sure if I would be able to upload to the play store.
I have 3-4 years experience with Adobe Photoshop so I'd be able to handle making icons.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for this It'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-
Jem

Soooo ... for the past couple days I've decided to give up my Sense ROM on my G2 and switch to CM6.1 Final, with the Gingerbread Theme. But for some reason I can't find a way to install the docks & icons. I've seen on many thread folks asking questions about installing custom docks and icons and I figured I would just start this. If anyone know's how to do it, feel free to post the instructions here.
Thanks!
Checked around to see if there were any rules for starting this thread and I didn't find any reason not too.

The launcher that comes with CM6.1 is ADW Launcher. Personally, I prefer Launcherpro. Both launchers have the ability to change the dock background. Try out launcher pro from the market and see which you prefer. Then you can go into the "Appearance" settings and change the dock to a pre-loaded dock or to a custom dock by selecting "custom" (it will then take you to your SD card to choose your custom image.
As for the icons, I use Bettercut found in the market. But if your not willing to spend, then Desktop Visualizer is another great option. They both allow you to change the shortcut icons.
Hope this helps!
I agree with Nissan. Been using Launcher Pro for about a week now and love it. I tried using a similar app when I was using my Cliq, but it made it super lag. With all the pwer behind the G2, u shouldn't notice anything too drastic as far as performance goes. And if you're overclocked, well then all the better

Damn ADW
I've flirted with ADW the entire day and there is no way to change the dock to anything custom. I'm going to download LP and just use that for my docks/icons and etc. Screw ADW.

Lmao! That's the same way I felt about ADW. ADW uses theme files that you can get in the market. When applied, it changes your wallpaper, icons, and dock background. I'm pretty confident that you will like LP if you don't like ADW.
not only does ADW lack an easy way to theme it but it also lacks 3d app drawer and the flick up app dock is super laggy on Vision, at least it was the last time I used it.... LPFTW!

"It" being changing the dock background. I meant to post my screen to show some folks but for some reason it didn't post.
Been lurking on the android apps and games thread lately and there's a lot of good stuff I'd never seen before - including this alternative app drawer.
I always wanted a list mode, and this works perfectly - see screenie here. Very customisable too, including font size and colour.
Apologies if this app is better known than I assume, hope someone finds it useful.
Bump - just found out you can change icons and app names too in all views. Top.
If there's an easier way to edit/change icons I haven't found it. Love this app.

I have been searching the forums for an icon pack that is just plain bright white and compatible with CM9 or AOKP(although I really don't know that compatibility is an issue with icons, maybe someone can correct me there) and am not finding anything.
I'm really not looking for anything too fancy, just basic icons that are a bright white instead of the stock icons, similar to what you see in the Black Infinitum theme menus. I'm not really looking for much, just standard apps (gmail, calendar, messaging, phone, play, contacts, email, camera, maps, navigation, calculator, browser, voice) and maybe a few others of the really popular apps (facebook, dropbox, scorecenter, etc...)
If anyone could point me to icons that would work I would appreciate it, if there are none if a dev could take it on I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
Found these on XDA

That second link is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but same as you I don't find a download link. Thanks for the links nonetheless!

You can buy droidicon on the market for $5. It has a number of icon packs available in a number of colors and styles. It was previously called launcher pro icons and docks and meant for lpp, but you can use them on any launcher that you can change icons on. You will have to edit them yourself though, you can't install them as a theme or pack. You download the icons one by one from a list. I use the white icons on it for aokp with nova launcher, pics for the doc and text for the nav bar, they look really good. I would post screenies but I'm running miui.us atm. Hope I could help tho.

I used that for awhile... some of the icons are pretty generic, but the custimazation options are limitless, which more than makes up for it...
I really like that! I am going to give it a shot.
[EDIT] So I installed it and REALLY like these icons. They are pretty run of the mill designwise, but I wasn't looking for anything too off the wall anyway. What a great find, thank you!
Ok so i would of posted this in the development thread of the rom but I don't have 10 posts yet. Anyways I downloaded the rom but for whatever reason it comes with nova launcher instead of apex which I see in the video review. It's really not that big of a deal but I want the themed app draw button from the screen shots lol.
I cant figure out why I just have the regular app draw icon, is this because they changed it with the newer updates/versions?
I know this must seem very silly but its frustrating the hell out of me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Yes its because I changed from apex to nova launcher. I didn't even start to theme Nova since it now supports custom icons and custom icon packs. If you want I could send you the blue image that I used on v1.0 and you can place in your SD card and change it through the launcher.

IHey there, i'm not sure if this is the right category to post it, since it's a request/idea/theme related, but anyways here's the thing.
The Navbar, It's nice to use but it looks kinda horrid, not to mention the screen estate loss & Screen Burn-in effect, So i was thinking.
So the idea is :
Can it be that the navigation bar would change color to match that of the app you're running currently? is it attainable? please fill me in
If not, can anyone help me on getting it Transparent (regardless of performance drop, it's okay) because i looked everywhere and i can't find anything about it, Changing it color or making it transparent would do for now until that feature is available (in the next android update or in a Custom ROM like AOKP/PA/CNA.
Thanks in advance ;A;
