App that removes icon names?

Hey all! Did some searching for a way to remove the names from the icons on the homescreens, but couldn't really find anything. I know launcher pro has a setting to remove the text but I was just wondering if there was a standalone way to do this. Any input? Muchas Gracias!

i don't think HTC Sense gives you that option.
It is an option in adw.Launcher

Yeah I figured that's still the only way. I like sense's widgets alot so its hard to switch to launcher pro or adw. Maybe someday... thanks for the reply!

Remember to add all apps as Widgets, not apps. That is the only way to remove the labels. That drove me nuts when I first tried this. Just long press | Widget | Folder Organizer Item | Apps. Then de-select the check box for labels and choose the app.
The only thing you can't remove labels from is actual 1x1 widgets (as opposed to apps) like Gmail Notifier or something like that. But most of those have their own option in settings to remove the label.

Pron on the homescreen? You are a brave man!!!!
No, but really, Launcher Pro or ADW and remove text below icons. Then use Folder Organizer and change the Icon. Folder Organizer >>>>> Bettercut.

Folder Organizer is awesome. But you don't have to have Launcher Pro or ADW. You can use Folder Organizer to remove the icons while using Sense.

add to home>widget>folder organizer item>apps>uncheck show text>click item
assumes you have already installed folder organizer

ADB launcher will give you this ability

Are there more Widgets / Apps like this ?
Im STILL searching for a nice looking calendar typo widget
to use it with my typoclock, but all look pretty awful in comparison.
If only typoclock creator could make a typocalendar.
Or is there something liek this out already.
greetings,
danny

Look on the Market for Minimalistic Text. I think that fits your requirements.
EDIT: Online Market Link For --> Minimalistic Text

But its not gonna work as a calendar :/

How do you mean
work as a calendar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you want it to display the day, date, month, year?
or
You want it to collect your events from your calendar and display them?

damn you are right. my fault.
and yes, display the events.
somehow "calendar" is only linked with events in my head.
so you got any ideas for that ?

Take a look here for Pure Calendar.
Does the middle screenshot look like what your after?

if you use launcher pro you can resize the widget, im not sure if that would just squash the 6 lines, or if it would crop it when resized..

How to edit icon labels/text?

Sorry, this is such a simple question. But it seems that anyone wanting an answer to this question has not found it entirely. I want to do this to shorten some icon names due to shortage of space, etc. Or maybe just a more descriptive label (ok, maybe just to me ). I mean how hard can it be? I just want to change the text, not the icon. I'm interested in procedures or apps. If you can help me, thank you.

Have you tried go launcher
From the 2nd galaxy

Yes, Go Launcher allows you to rename your app icons. It's an awesome launcher in terms of customization.

On Nova it's a long press and hit edit. My favorite launcher btw...

Yes, how hard can it be? I dont want to install a new launcher and I have tried a couple of the icon changer apps but not getting anywhere.
Any help at all would be appreciated...

Wow, that worked, "S Planner" now is Calendar. (How the name change to S Planner got thru qa I dont know).
Next bit of the problem is that I have shortcut icons that when pressed ask for which browser. In desktop visualizer I need to pick the application. I cant find the 'shortcut' app. Hope this makes sense...

Desktop Visualizer is good

[Q] Replacement for LG Calendar Widget?

Hey all. I want to switch to using Nova, but I love the stock calendar widget. Is there anything like it that I can instal? I love how it can show the month view with events on the home screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that one looks NOTHING like the stock LG calendar widget. I suffer from the same experience as the OP (i want to use Apex Launcher), but I love the LG calendar widget too much to switch. I haven't found anything yet that compares with the same clarity.

Hey there! I've been using AgendaWidgets for a few years and I've never changed to any other calendar. There's also a plus version which I've purchased but maybe first try the free version first You can select the calendar to sync with your Facebook , too ( if you are on FB ). It also has different themes which you can choose from. I've chosen this transparent theme

Not sure if this satisfies your need for "stock" calendar feel, but Event Flow Calendar Widget is the best one I've found when it comes to having a good balance between simplicity, looks & customizability. Give it a try

Not like stock, but Sunrise?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I'm hoping for a widget that shows me a calendar view, with the actual events displayed with text on each day (not just lines or dots). Any one seen that outside of our stock app?:

Gonna give Sol Calendar a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daum.android.solcalendar&hl=en

Try Pure Grid calendar widget, I love it since many years:

Try this one. Its not bad.

Problem with the Google Feed Widget

Hello everybody,
since a few weeks my Google Feed Widget just shows me:
Looking for weather, calender, and other updates?
Install the new At-a-Glance widget. LERN MORE
My problem is that i dont have the At-a-Glance widget.
The "Lern More" hyperlink brings me to a Google Help website wich just says that i already have the at-a-glance widget and i have just to place it.
But i dont have the Widget.
Someone here who knows how to fix this issue?

It's a Google App widget.

Sure i did. I have just 4 widgets, Searchbar, Feed and 2x Sound Searchbar.

Try cleaning data for Google App, or use different launcher.l am on Nova Launcher. I guess Google dropped support for Feed as I don't have it anymore. It's need replaced with At a glance on my phone.

Didnt work for me.
A little overview:
OnePlus 3 (A3003)
OS: OP3_O2_Beta_39
Android: 8.0.0
Build: ONEPLUSA3003_16_180704
Launcher: Stock OnePlus
Google App version: 8.33.6.21.arm64
No Root rights
Pictures of the currently Feed app and from the Google Support site which i entered by pressing on Learn More:
https://imgur.com/a/D7aLIFj

Ive updated my OnePlus Launcher 2.5.0 with an apk from APK Mirror to v.2.5.1. and now i have the At a Glance Widget
Unfortunately, the widget always shows me my calendar when I click it, I would much rather see my news as with the "feed" widget. Can you change that?
