I am very new at theming and have just discovered this themer app. A theme I currently like is shown in the images below, but I have some questions.
1. In the main homescreen the weather app is not working so I want to delete it and replace it with another one like beweather but how do I delete the one in the theme? Long press does not let me delete it.
2. Same question, how do I delete the music app on the second page? Long press won't do it?
3. I like the circular widget in the center of the main homescreen. How can I extract it to use it with a different launcher like Nova?
4. Tutorial?
Thanks.
Here are the images

hi all,
I am new on Android, so please excuse my stupid question
I installed the ADW launcher and the paperless theme.
The problem is that not all icons have been changed to the paperless icons, e.g. the phone, contact icons still are the standard icons.
Does someone has an idea how to solve this?
(My galaxy is not rooted yet)
Thanks.

Press the menu button when on the home screen, go in to adw setti
ngs, select themes and there is a check box at the top about which icons to use.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I already tried this. The thing is, that some icons are from the theme, but not all.
Then they are not implemented... write an email to the developers and keep us up to date if you hear anything
Hmmm... As I wrote in my 1st post, the icons for phone and contacts are missing. And these icons are on the screenshots showing the theme,so I assume they are already implemented.
hmm, I don't use ADW anymore, I am on LauncherPro now, but try this:
When I tap the contacts icon for 1 sec I can select a new app to put there... select the contacts app again and then select the right icon.. This is how it works on LauncherPro, maybe there is a similar way on ADW

unfortunately this is not working in ADW

I noticed this too, seems to happen on non standard dialer/contact apps. I think the theme writers need to fix this, not sure ?
Almost made the switch from LP to ADW if it wasn't for this. I <3 BuuF
This is a problem to do with samsung replacing the phone, messaging and related icons. Where do I find the icons once the theme is installed? I can then go about replacing them.
If someone tells me where the icons are I can tell you how to replace them. I have looked everywhere and don't know where the theme is located.. Do they stay inside the apk in /system/app? Anyone know how I extract the apk
I am also creating a few custom backgrounds and icons for this theme. Any requests please let me know, I will be drawing icons for most of the apps.
I've re-packaged the APK with the proper Samsung Galaxy S icons. If there's still interest let me know and I can post it. All credits to the developer, all I did was rename some files.
Fixes:
Calendar
Calculator
Camera
Clock?
Contacts
Dialer (Phone)
I noticed this problem before too. A workaround that I use is to create a custom shortcut to phone and contacts with ADW and then you can choose a custom icon for it. Then you can choose an icon for your phone and contacts.
Hi merrimax,
I would be interested in the theme for Galaxy.
I just updated (today) ADW and the Main Dock center icon (Apps) is no longer in Paperlss style.

the new update to ADW had a large number of UI changes. I think with that he changed the name of the app drawer picture which is why most of the themes lost their app drawer picture. You just have to wait til the themer updates to the latest ADW. A lot have already, but I know some still arent yet (e.g. BuuF )
Hi merrimax, I'm still interested in the renamed icons.
Where can I find them in the Galaxy?
I have searched hi and low to find a way of making an icon pack for android without success.
I have a lot of icons i have created to use with go launcher and at the moment i have a folder full of png files which i have to select select manually which is tedious.
I have seen android icon packs which once installed are selectable via a gallery type option instead of using a file explorer.
Is there any software or other method which i can use to compile the icon set into an installable icon pack?
ADW launcher EX may be a good choice for you. You can change the icon to any photos which are in your gallery just on the desktop.

Thanks but I'm quite happy with Go Ex, it just keeps on getting better.
I can do that with Go launcher anyway.
I am actually looking for a way to compile all my icons into an apk or something so I can install the whole pack in 1 go, so any launcher or app can use the icons at will without having to open up an explorer app each time i wish to change an icon.

You need to make a metamorph with your desired icons. I personally just place my icons in sdcard/GOLauncherEX/gotheme/icon and then select them under long press icon/choose icon/menu/theme's icon
You could also apply the png to the ROM.zip but all in all unless using metamorph or waiting for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16240790&postcount=5
Hey everyone, I hope you know UCCW(Ultimate Custom Clock) app which is used to create awesome cool clock widgets. I have a HTC Wildfire S and I'm running go launcher ex. The problem is that after I have created my custom design I am not able to put it to the desktop. When I long press on my home screen and select widgets I cant see UCCW option in there. Unless I add a widget I will not be able to use my custom design. I cant see a uccw option in the widgets to add to desktop. Is it the problem of go launcher ex? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
Did you move it to your SD card by mistake?
Hello I'm looking for a way for me to be able to change the icon picture of any application on my S3.
I do not want any other launcher like apex launcher to be able to do it.
I'm just looking for a simple way for me to select any picture in my gallery for my icons.
Please help!
Do you want to change the icons on your home screen or in your app drawer? You can use desktop visualizer for icons on your homescreen. Even with that I think you need a certain size pic to use as an icon. If you want to change icons in your app drawer you will need to search apk tool and learn how to pull apks from your phone,decompile them, change the icon, recompile them and reinstall them one app at a time. I don't think there is an easy way to do what your asking. If there is I hope someone posts it here cause I would like to know also.
Post your homescreens. Discuss your widgets. Have fun.
Please, to keep this thread as light as possible, attach screenshots to your reply or post direct links.
My homescreen:
Quick toggle bar at the top is done with PowerToggles. It's the best if you're into quick toggles.
From the beginning of smartphone usage, I depended on homescreen folders for my most used apps. For that purpose, I use Folder Organizer, to which I added a custom folder icon.
Since Nova is my launcher, I decided to replace square dock icons to the round ones by downloading a Lollipop icon pack, extracting what I needed and applying it through Nova. Looks much better, IMHO.
Also, I'm in the process of playing with XWGT instead of Zooper Widget, since XWGT has a much lower memory/cpu footprint to create a widget that has a day/date with a recording function integrated into it. That way, I removed an extra widget from my homescreen and integrated it into the day/date widget.
P.S.
I would like to ask the mods not to close this thread like they closed the first one, because LG Spirit does NOT have it's own forum section, and is purely tag based. So, if mods don't like homescreen threads ending in Misc Dev sections, they should create a proper LG Spirit forum section on XDA.
My homescreen,mising cLock widget (from cm12).
Since I like not cluttering my homescreen with tons of icons and widdgets, I just don't have anything on it. And since Nova allows to rebind the soft keys to open the app drawer, I don't even need the dock. The only exceptional thing about my homescreen is the wallpaper - I'm using an LWP with a custom GLSL shader. I can drop that here if you would like the code for yourselves.
Nova launcher
Lots of crap out there
@jonixas You got a real Playstation thing going on there
I had one that I liked better, but an update to the app caused all my shaders to dissapear, and I couldn't recreate the one I had. Also, obligatory PCMR> Console peasants
Very basic. Default launcher, default weather app, replaced google app with quick search bar (or something like that) and some contacts. Decided to use the homescreens for only widgets, every app is accessible via the app drawer. Wallpaper is from Backdrops.
This is one older screenshot, but basics are pretty much same
Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime (paid for it)
Icons: Sunshine+Moonshine+Polycon
Widget: XWidget - ZTE Nubia Style, Flashlight widget
Wallpaper: my photo
When finish tweaking design on phone and when setup 4 more e-mail accounts to phone I would post latest home screen... It is a quite changed then this one (from wallpaper up to widgets which I have)
Mine is pretty simple.
Nova launcher
Yahoo weather widget
Wallet app and Quick camera widget
Here is my many-year-old setup, except that I only lately started having 6 dock icons, instead of 5.

Perhaps next time, you should post in an appropriate forum (namely a non-development forum).
