do i have to be rooted for that to work or no?
there is an advanced launcher app in the market that you do not have to be rooted to use. it is a home replacement app so it has some lag, but if you have root, then you can replace the Launcher.apk with the advanced launcher and it will run faster.
My home in DHD with ADW Launcher & Beautiful Widget.

so as a android and DHD newbies how did you getting it looking like that and what is the android icon in the top left?
He changed the look of the phone by replacing HTC Sense with a program called ADW Launcher. You can get it in the Market. A program with the same capability is Launcher Pro. Check it out
thanks very much i will give them a go

The icon is for a task killer app - which you don't need!
I don't like the style personaly but it's original ^^
hi guys, short question...i am new to android, so if i install awd or launcher pro, do i have to uninstall/deactivate sense first? can i switch back to sense?
When a new App is installed, which changes some standard behaviour, you will be prompted which App you want to use. After installing LauncherPro press HOME Key, you will be asked, which App should be taken for that. You can also check the box for useing it every time.
When you want to go back, you have to reset that thing in Settings - Application.
So you can easily go back to Sense. Or you can uninstall LauncherPro, same effect.
thanks for the info. i will try it...
Hey guys, I have just installed ADW Launcher and set it as default but now I can not find the Home button to long press and back to HTC Sense?
Here is my homescreen, How can I find this home button to leave ADW?

It should be the same as LauncherPro. Go in settings -> Manage app -> Choose ADW and Clear Default ( if I remember well I don't have it installed atm )

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us, but why did you open a new thread instead of posting in the Show your display thread???
There's a warning in the forum rules about opening new threads when a similar one alrady exists.

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob
To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience
if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

I want to put something in that empty space, only ADW has the option to completely disable the dock.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.
Hey guys,
I've been searching with no luck on how to install custom icons for ADW Launcher EX. I already have the icons saved and know how to change them on the home screen but I can't figure out how to get changed system wide ie app drawer also. Any help would be great.

Hi,
using Nova Launcher I configured Icons on the bottom quick launch tray.
On Lockscreen the icons are still the ones configured for the sense launcher.
They change only after unlocking the phone.
Any ideas?

You have to go back to the sense launcher first and do it that way, once back on nova launcher they will show up on lock screen.

It's because the lockscreen is being controlled by sense and your home screen by Nova. Two different beasts

Ok.
Installed Home Switcher,
changed to Sense Launcher,
configured Quicklaunch same as Nova Settings
changed back to Nova.
Experience is now not the same but quite similar.
But didn't understand: Why is the lockscreen always sense and not Nova???
Because you have just put a launcher on the phone and not done anything to your lockscreen you are still using the sense lockscreen so it will be based on sense still.

Nova isn't a lockscreen, its a launcher
Get Holo Locker to get the stock lockscreen for Nova.
OK, hope to understand: lock screen is one app, launcher another?
But shouldn't it change to Nova launcher when using a quicklaunch icon then?
The behaviour I see is that using a quicklaunch icon from lockscreen starts sense launcher,
Back button stays in sense. Lock and Unlock again is sense. Changes to nova
first time i press Home. Could call it a feature: Can easily get blinkfeed under nova
this way

those five icons on your lock screen are just shortcuts that mirror the five icons on your SENSE launcher. So regardless of what icons you have there using NOVA launcher, the lock screen will still show what's on the SENSE launcher.
So if you want to change the icons there, go back to using the sense launcher and change the five icons to the ones you want, then go back to using nova.
lockscreen widget issue
I have a galaxy s4 verizon, rooted, running gummy rom, launcher3 is preset in the rom and I downloaded Nova launcher. There is a yahoo weather widget on my lockscreen that I cannot find any settings for in either launcher or rom settings. It is registering temp in celsius and I need farenheit, haha. Any suggestions? Thanks
