So I just got my fire phone today, did the 4.6.1 update, then added google services, play store, and all is good but I really want to try google now launcher, alas I can't figure out how. Been searching for a good half hour and can't find anything that says HOW to do it?
Can you guys tell me the steps involved to change the launcher? I downloaded Google now launcher from the play store but when I click it, it tells me I need to clear the defaults and then press home, but that does nothing.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hydroman you have the number of messages near whatsapp logo..what about texts and calls does it show the same..cause i found all launchers I tried to stop all on screen notication..cheers

I use Vire Launcher. I like Holo Launcher, but the wall paper seems to drop a bit below the taskbar constantly. Although some times the apps in the drawer in Vire will dissapear and I have to either switch to fire launcher and switch back to Vire or restart to get them back.
Any way to get Live Wallpapers on this phone? I miss that.
I guess we can't have it all with this phone
Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
Wat version of holo launcher plus are you using..and is there an apk handy..cheers
Nevermind i sorted it

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I DL a droid x themed launcher pro and installed it, it installed fine but the icons haven't changed. Any ideas?
If you long press an icon you can change the shortcut, the icon, or enable a swipe gesture.
Maybe the icons were put into a specific folder? Can you find them anywhere on your phone? or does the theme install guide clearly state that icons are changed automatically?
Is is for the full version only?
Launcher Pro Themes? Where?
I know ADW.Launcher has themes, didn't know Launcher Pro did..
I've figured out how to change the launcher pro dock icons now I need to know how to change all the others?

Here's one but if you search google you'll find more

When you look at an app in the market there is usually a link to the developer's website. Maybe you could get some advice or instructions at the LP site, or from the 50 or so developers selling their themes.
When you find out, could you post back here? I want to know too.

Nevermind about the launcher pro droid x theme I figured out a better way. First install this metamorph- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828623 -then launcher pro will already be themed. If not then I also downloaded this icon pack for droid x.- http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-general-discussions/74871-stock-droid-x-icon-pack.html - You can install the LP icons manually just put them in your DCIM folder. beware they take a while to show up.
google "dreamlyfe launcher pro" he charges like a dollar fifty but his dock themes are SICK

Thank for the answer but it is not the same clock. Look carefully please before posting.
I've tried to replicate 100s of layout from MyColorscreen, but this time I would really like to succeed, so hopefully with all your help, I will finally get this right!
So this is how it looks now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is how I want it:
It's this homescreen made by Alex T
I like the nexus setup more. Now what is the problem obviously the black stuff doesn't cover the sides of the screen and the top and bottom. Why?
I set apex launcher to a 10*8 grid like he said for the gs3
Has anyone got that uccw file (the top one)?
Also how do I place widgets on top of the black uccw box? I have set the option in apex launcher to widgets overlapping.
Help please!!!

Could you not make the black bit part of the wallpaper?
Nope, it's a live wallpaper
Okay, so Alex T replied and provided the uzip files yaay. Only the gs3 ones though, like the nexus ones better.
This is what I got so far.
Next problem I can't get my icons over the uccw widgets, do I need a special program?
Will someone please help me? Thx
The icons are part of a uccw. Have a look in blackbearblanc thread in theming section you'll find everything you need and read up more on how to edit in uccw

I just installed K-9 email client and like it a lot. The only problem is that it doesn't seem possible to put it's unread count widget into the dock. I can put other widgets in the dock, but not this one. Is there any way around that or another widget I could use of that sort that would go in the dock?
I'm not rooted, stock, no launcher. If there is a launcher that would accomplish this, I'd consider it, but otherwise the stock works for me.
You could definitely try Apex launcher.
Okay, I've installed Apex Launcher, purchased Apex Pro, installed Apex notifications, but still can't figure out how to get an icon for K-9 unread mail into the dock.
I see that I can have the K-9 unread count show on either the email icon or the Gmail one, but then tapping on the icon opens those apps not K-9. I have missed something?
Please explain how to do this.
TIA
Okay, I've found the Apex setting to allow widgets in the dock and have put the K-9 unread email widget there. That works; but the icon is so ugly and smaller than the other ones in the dock. Long press doesn't give any edit settings for it. Any way I can get this working with a nicer icon?
Nova prime had the feature and you can change your icon to anything you want.

I installed Nova & purchased Nova prime, but I don't see how to change the icon displayed for K-9. Do I need a theme, an icon pack or what? Please clarify.
Thanks.

Long press the app.
Click edit and itll bring up this.
Tap on the icon next to the name. After that it'll have choices. I do have a icon pack i use.

That works for other icons, but the K9 icon doesn't have the choice of edit on a long press.

Ok, let me start then. Pretty basic and clean.
Using nova launcher because I needed more customization.
Pretty simple so far, haven't really played around with much on the screen
Nova Launcher Prime, and Wallpaper Changer by XDA's @j4velin (not still around? "Last seen Jul 16, 2020" "Inactive Recognized Developer" ) to change wallpapers every time I unlock, and I can double-tap in an empty spot to manually change to the next random wallpaper (of my selected album full of them). Nova Launcher Prime Even restored data via Google in this v7. Most of my wallpapers are fantasy/sci-fi paintings by Jim Burns. I have my camera "app" set to open Google Photos if I swipe down on it, and open the camera folder if I swipe up on it to show all my camera-related apps. Similarly for "Phone", "GPS"/Google Maps, "Messaging", and "Internet". I have Nova set to lock the screen using Accessibility permissions when I swipe down with two fingers. Works great! Swipe left, I still have it go to Google Discover/News.
^like your Weawow weather widget which I use on my OnePlus devices. Still waiting on Pixel delivery to start rocking... Cheers
