Just got my phone today and started loading my apps noticed that some icons are not taking the stock shape. Is there anyway to force this? It kind of bugs me lol I know I can use another launcher and icon pack but I enjoy the new pixel launcher.
Long-press an open area on the home screen and go into home settings. There's an option to change the shape of the icons.

Hey I've switched back and forth between ADW and LP quite a few times and I feel like I know both well enough to say that LauncherPro is better for my tastes... but there is one thing that ADW does a lot better. Auto-resizing icons to fit the grid on the homescreen. I like to have small icons with no labels on my homescreen. It gives it more of a minimalistic look. Has anyone else noticed that anything past 5 columns and 6 rows starts to chop off the edges of icons in LP? Is there a fix to this? Is there a way to at least remove the glow for selecting icons? That gets chopped off really bad leaving only two sides of an icon glowing/being highlighted.
Menu > Prefererences > Appearance Settings > Hide Icon Labels
For the glow around the icons, you could change it to a color that matches your wallpaper, then you won't really see it.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 wich is branded by one of the mobile providers of my country, and has very ugly turning on/of screens, icon sets and lock screens. I don't want to lose my warranty so I don't want to root/flash my phone. Searching the web I found the ADW Launcher and I'm trying to change these 3 things with it... is it possible? I mean
1) Is there a way to change animations I see when I turn on and off the phone?
2) With Adw I can freely change icons in home, but icons in drawers remains the same. If i use a theme, icons in drawers change too, but I can't find the right theme for me. Is there a way to change drawers icons using the default ADW theme? Or if not, how can I edit an ADW theme to change its default icons?
3) Is there a way to change the lock screen bringing it back to the stock transparent Galaxy lock screen? The one I had on Galaxy S1 would be fine. I know I can change lock screen from settings but it just let me chose an image from my gallery, and I don't know how to set it transparent. Would the Widget Locker app helps me?
Thanks in advance :-/
3) I don't know what the stock lock screen was on the SGS1 but ripple lock in the market is a nice honeycomb style replacement
I'll try it, thanks
Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling
When I updated to the latest version of GO Launcher EX, the Kindle OS gray home bar at the bottom of the screen overlaps and obscures GO Launcher EX's bottom icon menu. How do I fix this?
edit: Well, I guess I fixed it by switching to ADW Launcher EX!
Anybody use the retrorika icon pack? Some icons are really horrible. Like the sms icon is a round circle with 3 dots not an envelope. When i hold on the icon it gives me a brush which allows me to ser icons but sheesh i dont see more 40 icons and most are icons of the alphabet letters. Something is weird.
Any help appreciated
I dont know what launcher im using actually. How would i check this? I somehow got the ixon pack to chnage my icons on the pages.
...
No one?
Dahell...
Man, to use icon pack you need custom launcher such as Nova or Action Launcher, if you are not sure what launcher you use then you probably have stock. Install mentioned launcher from Google Play and change icons in options.
Thank u. I have the icons up. The issue is the icons for some apps make no sense. The sms icon is a round icon with 3 dots. Id like to change it to an envelope but dont have that option. It says theres options for hundreds of icons but i dont see it
