Hey I'm new to this I have cm5.08 and launcher pro running on my htc magic but I can't find any type of decent themes or even icons? Any suggestions?
Go to themes in general android forum...

how are you running launcher pro?
Install from market.
Same Question
I had the same question a few days ago and scoured Appbrain until I found Icon Pack - Minimum. It's great, albeit minimum, icon pack for Launcher Pro. I don't recognize most of the represented apps (Maybe iPood?).
go to laucherpro website they have alot of dockbars/icons. i made my MT3G look like its running an espresso ROM with out the ROM lol
just icons and a dockbar
to customize my Samsung Note 2 Grids? These big ass Icons and only having a grid 4 X 4 is really annoying. I want to add more to my pages... On the Note 1 we were able to make the screen have at least 5X5... And to make the icons smaller..
Thanks..
Grid size

I would suggest using Apex launcher! I have the pro version and can go to Apex settings > Homescreen settings> then portrait or Landscape grid. I currently have mine set to the max 10 X 10.
I know there are Launchers that do that.... But I was able to do that with out a launcher on the Note 1.
So no such luck with the note 2.. So far....
Is the Apex Launcher Heavy? does it bog down the phone.. does it have all those extra widgits and stuff like the Go Launcher.

There is (almost) whatever you want! Take a look at the ply store reviews! Try the free version first & see if you like it! If not just un install!
I got recently my one plus 5T device but I was always into google pixel's 2 launcher. And actually I thought to ask the forum about it. What do you think about this launcher and the Oneplus launcher ?
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393[/URL]
i use the pixel 2 launcher since i got the 5T. I like it
just try for yourself and find out which you prefer
None of them for me. Nova launcher is what I find better
Right I've spoke about this before when using anything other than a dark wallpaper the xl is a complete mess at the bottom of the launcher, it's a washed out white, while I've been told it's the oreo software or Google's launcher, can anyone explain why this does not happen on my partner's standard pixel 2 with the exact same wallpaper !? It's frustrating that the cheaper model does not exhibit this ****ty behaviour yet the xl does, without changing the launcher is there any of fix without rooting ? Feel like sending it back because of this alone, if it doesn't do it on the 5" why does it do it on the xl ?
I think it's a launcher issue it's almost like the launcher is treating it as a white background not dark, i get same issue and the app draw is white... As well as the Google home page, only if I use a Google supplied dark wallpaper does it work correctly, hopefully gets fixed in an update...

There's been a few updates now i don't think it's going to get fixed, what i can't understand is why is it fine on my partner's pixel 2 5"
I have a pixel 2 which is my work phone and it suffers the same issue, so that's proper weird...
My nokia 8 oreo has same issue. It's annoying when using dark wallpapers and looks like cheap display panel.
Just install Nova launcher and be done with the pixel launcher....the white washout is a "feature" of pixel launcher....and it's ugly.

If you're rooted, you can try one of my modded launchers here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/mod-pixel-2-xl-launcher-mods-8-1-0-dp1-t3701939
All of them have that white bottom shade on the home screen removed.

The only thing is you have to be rooted to install this apk on a Pixel.

Yeah, Nova Launcher works best and you can set it up to resemble the Pixel launcher in every way.
Hello all....
I just switched to the Pixel 2 XL from being with Motorola Phones for the last 18 years.
It was a welcomed change but a different experience for sure.
Since getting my Pixel I have made the following changes:
Downloaded:
Nove Launcher Prime - Changing the Home Screen, Dock and Drawer
Pixelation Icon Pack - I just wanted a few more options from stock
Motorola Command Center Weather Widget - Well because I like it
Zooper Widgets - To add the date to my home screen
I really like the Pixel Launcher that came with the phone but the Google Search Bar was driving me crazy so that's what lead me to XDA. Looking for workarounds on moving this bar.
I was also looking at possibly downloading the Android P Beta 3 but was not sure if that would be over my head or not.
So for I am really liking this Phone. Really wanted to wait until the Pixel 3 XL came out but had to make a move so hear I am.
Any feedback or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
There is a ton of info on here it just gets crazy trying to jump all over looking for answers.
Thanks for taking a look and have a good day,
Rodney
Welcome to the party. If you are wanting to try Android P, I would start by reading here
https://developer.android.com/preview/download
Nova launcher will remove the Google search bar it's part of the launcher I use to really like it until Oreo came out then I prefer Google's launcher
This may not be true but I prefer to stay stock in sense of launchers and skins because otherwise I feel it's a little bloaty and feels like the phone slows down a bit more then other apps I own.

Nova ftw. I have never even tried Oreos launcher, so I wouldn't know how it is.

The stock Pixel launcher was really nice just wouldn't let me remove the search bar.
I am really liking Nova it allows you customize every aspect of the phone.

Yeah I love it and you can backup your settings to Google Drive so you never have to worry about setting it up again.

Personally I'm waiting for the little Android P quirks to get fixed but before that, I've been a Nova Launcher user for a several years now. Great stock look and feel yet extras that don't make it a bulky launcher.

Have you found a way to add the flashlight to a gesture?
I never set a Nova gesture to do that. I usually just do the flash light with the lockscreen on, swipe down the quick settings, and tap the flashlight.

Yea that works.... Quick
Thanks
I like ROMs for that because they usually have hold power to turn on flashlight Wich is my favorite way to turn it on with one hand

Welcome to the party! Obviously there are alternate launchers but if you like the functionality of the pixel launcher try 'LawnChair' it's currently in alpha but from what I've heard it's pretty stable.
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=lawnchair
XDA is the right place to be if you're looking to customize, There's also 'rootless pixel launcher' if you're looking for similar customization https://www.xda-developers.com/rootless-pixel-launcher-3-4-released-large-tablet-support/
