Are you stock rom user and feel bored with stock launcher.
why don't you make it more beautiful by read this little guide.
well, you can decompile Launcher.apk to edit anything you want but I won't explain this. we will use two module exposed, resflux and holo themer (root access is needed). Check this out!
Change color tile with your own color
open resflux> go to laboratory> find Launcher> tap color and there are so many resource
What should be changed:
icon_bg_blue
icon_bg_dark_blue
icon_bg_green
icon_bg_orange
icon_bg_pink
icon_bg_purple
icon_bg_gray (setting)
folder_bg (folder)
Done, reboot
Set background image on Launcher
open resflux> go to laboratory> find Launcher> tap color> find "Black" and make it transparent. I will use #00000001 for full transparent. Don't reboot, now move to holo themer.
Open holo themer> find Launcher> tap and change default to user wallpaper (don't choose "user wallpaper no titlebar" or you will get "Launcher has stopped"). Okay, reboot
Is it possible to use live wallpaper?
-yes, but only homescreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762794
For fastlane
Go to resflux> Laboratory> System (framework-res.apk)> tap drawble and search notification_template_fastlane_bg_normal
Make it transparent or just change the color, finish then reboot
Thanks for reading this little guide, I hope you enjoy it
good guide...

Use Gravitybox JB . Make sure that you had installed Xposed Framework before.

resflux stopped
Hi, when i try to change the color on resflux, pop up appeared.
"Resflux has stop"
what did i do wrong?
what should i do?
did it!
Hi..!!
It's me again. Thank you so much for the guide!
i finally did it. I downloaded the 1. 4 resflux version.
I managed to change the background and the icon color become transparent.
But i can't find the "notification_template" on resflux. where is it exactly?
Also, i know i'm biting more than i can chew, but can we also change the widget color into transparent?
Thank you so much in advance
P.S. I really want to post my screenshot here, but i don't know how. I tried to insert my image url from blogspot but it seems like i can't insert link from outside xda.

hi i want to add a custom icon but i dont want the background with it , i have attached the icon , i dont want the white background just the 3 symbol . is there an app to do this as i cant use gimp fireworks etc to save my life
you cant see white box bacground on here but you can on the phone
Open the icon in an image editor that supports layers (GIMP) and remove the white background and save it as .png
EDIT: You already tried that I see now
You can use photoshop and then copy the image to your clipboard, start a new file with a transparent background, paste the image, then use the magicwand to select the white bg and hit delete.
There is probably an easier way but I'm no PS pro.
lol i still cant do it lol
ADW Launcher enables you to modify icons to your preference. I currently have froyo installed but with a gingerbread theme and it looks cool
yes but it does not remove backgrounds from png's , jpegs etc

I want to change the color of my notification bar on JVP. Does anyone know where i should change it?
I did get the notification dropdown menu to be transparent by changing systemUI.apk but don't know where to find the background of the notification bar itself.
I really do not like the all black one, I think it makes the screen look smaller

An easy way to change the "NB" notification bar color, is to use universal androot, root your phone, then DLoad Ninjamorph, open "N morph" then click new project, select system, framework, framework-res.apk, res, drawable, then scroll to statusbar-background.png press and hold to edit color, hit menu button save your changes, backout to "N Morph front screen, tap finish project, select framework-resapk, and your done, but you will need to find clock ect, apks on your own, it shouldn't be to hard, just remember these steps. Also N Morph creates backups of the files before you edit them, just remember to move your backup to a safe place so as not to be overwritten
Nice big
I don't think that works for 2.3.4. I don't have statusbar-background.png in framework-res.apk.
I read somewhere that it's in systemUI.apk in GB? But when i change it there using adb it doesn't change.

its because its a hex color! if you decompile system-ui.apk in apk.manager and go to res/layout/statusbar you will see on the first line depending on your os search for>> android:background="#ff000000" and change to >> android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"! then go down to the very bottom where it says date view and you will see the same thing >>android:background="#ff000000" change to the same as you did above and then save and recompile!
now whenever you change your statusbar_background.png it will change to whatever you change it too!!
where can i find that system-ui.apk? i tried searching for it!!

@yash1229 you can copy my drawable-hdpi folder to your SystemUI and you'll get transparent dropdown notification panel.

Does anyone here work with the Go Launcher EX Theme template? If so, can you please post a tutorial on how to add docks to the template for use on the homescreen?
And if possible also, how do you add a background on the APP Drawer?

To change background of app drawer:
1. Go to home screen
2. go to Preferences > Theme Settings > App Drawer Background > Custom Background
Now as far as adding docks to the template.....I think they only have a template theme creator for Go SMS.....not Go Launcher. Other than that I'm not sure I fully understand what you are asking. Are you wanting to change the look of the icons on the dock bar or are you wanting to change the background of the dock bar?
To change the way the icons look you just long press the icon you want to change, select "replace," and then choose whether you want the apps default icon, the theme icon, or a custom icon.
If you want to change the dock bar background go to Preferences > Theme Settings > Dock Background
Below I've included thumbnails of the icons and dockbar I used to use. If none of these are what you're trying to do then let me know.
Theme template?
Can someone tell me where the theme template can be found or any other way of creating Go Launcher Themes. I can't find it on their site. Looks like its been taken down. Thanks in advance.

I made some icons for the Go Launcher and Launcher Pro so as to match as it possible with the ICS Themes and to show uniformity.
Will be continuously updated and added more.
Also You can ask the icons that interests. Of course I can't create icon for each application of the Market but I will try to do my best.
No need to change icons in the App Drawer or these are inside a folder.
We are interested only what we can see.
For any icon you want to make for you, please send me a screenshot of the icon in black background.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Instructions
Just download and unzip the file. Save the folder at your extrenal SD Card.
Press and hold the icon you want to change and select "Replace/Custom icon".
Select the folder with my icons and press on that you want.
ATTENTION: at the next step you have to click on the "No Crop" and then "Save"
Some icons they have at them title the word DOCK. For example PHONE_DOCK.png These are for using like Dock Icons.
Thats all.
Thanks to the OP... but how about this one

what is the easiest way to extract individual icons from icon packs so you don't have to universally apply all icons within a pack?

I use nova launcher which makes this easy. Just press and hold on the icon you want changed. When the menu pops up, select settings (the cog wheel). This will bring you to a menu that you can change the icon image, name and also assign a second action when swiping the icon opposed to just tapping on it.
I hope that helps.

Yup that helps except I'd like to use the stock launcher. There you can add icons from gallery only not an icon pack so that's why I wanted to know if we can extract the pack.

The easiest thing you can do is use extract the apk using 7zip, or you can use root explorer as well if you long press on the icon pack apk and extract it as well. You can also decompile the apk and pull the images from the xxhdpi, xhdpi folders, what icon packs where you looking at, I can extract some for you and just post the zips

He is not trying to do that, he is trying to extract the icons he wants to use and put them in the gallery because he can change the actual system icon and not lose notification functionality. Its a slight different concept because you can longpress on the icons and literally change it like iconchanger, but its built in and you use images from the gallery

Yea except that it doesn't because it doesn't just theme the system icon, it creates a completely new on separate from the system and you lose the notification number, you don't need icon changer..... He just wants the icons so installing icon changer doesn't fix anything, because he still needs the icons so if you read what he is asking, he wants to extract icons

I am also looking for basically stock Android icons extracted...basically the ,png for the phone, camera, people etc. Anyone know where to get them? I've been on the google machine and I've gone on the line and still can't find a serviceable .png of these simple icons. I don't want to switch from the stock launcher, and simply want to replace the current icon with a different (stock android) one.
Thanks in advance.....

He only wants to extract single icon from the theme, so I think ThemeX is the right answer
So does anyone know where the system "Icon gallery" icons are kept on this G3? Which folder and what format are they?
I'd like to be able to directly place icons in there, so they come up when I try choose a system icon.
Seems there are limited LG G3 themes available at the moment from LG.
