Icons Abound

Here is a link to hundreds of icons from several sources.

I came across these by accident and figured I would share...

About half of these look like they were ripped from iPhone themes, but a good pack nonetheless. Fair variety, and they are all good quality PNGs, which makes it easy. Thanks.

If you are looking for manual instructions on modifying application icons, here is a decent post.

That works if you care about changing what you see in the App Drawer. If you only care about what you see on home screens, a much easier way for the average user is to just download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Combined with Launcher Pro for your dock, you are limited only by the PNG images you can find or make.
It depends on how far you need to take it.

That's why we're here

Actually I am interested in changing the app drawer icons. And though much appreciated, the above post to the directions seems like a long way to go to achieve this.
Is there an easier way? I actually bought an icon theme for ADW.launcher and I love the home screen icons, but for some reason the developer made the drawer icons completely different and I hate them. I have found some icons that I like, that match the home screen icons.
Surely there must be a way to change all the icons at once instead of the above directions.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Good.
How the HELL can I get myself closer to this?
Can anyone share ideas on how he did it?

I love that dude's set up.
Mine is minimal and simple using a black back screen with very clean and small things on the main page.
I'd like to mix it up and try something different.
For reference, here's mine:

That's Launcher Pro with Desktop Visualizer. DV just lets you make a widget that is an app button for any app with any PNG image you want for the icon. Head over to the Launcher Pro website here for a good thread of homescreens with lots of info: http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/vi...d=f659d9b40749e84b4ca91213bea40038&start=2490

I thanked you, because I appreciate the reply and posting up a link for me, but it's the images that I'm most interested in.
I'm going to search that thread to see where it takes me, but I wish there were just a theme I could bounce onto my phone with that type of layout pre-done.
I know that I'm going to get into it, not be able to make it as nice, not like the end result, and then not be able to get my current screen back to this way either.
Update: Found exactly what I was looking for and I know how to use it due to plenty of previous fooling around with Desktop Visualizer. Now I just need to find some time to go at it.
Here's the link for anyone else interested:

As it always asking to put an icon there which just covers up the words in the dock image.

Thnx.

I would also like to know how to get the .png's from your folder.

Xoom Wallpaper Template

THIS TEMPLATE IS NOT CORRECT!!!
Please use the template in the following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993596

Ok so I increased the original template by 50% and created another PSD for those that want to use higher resolution images.
The new visible resolution for each desktop is 1764x1028 and the overall image resolution is 2616x1920.
It should be noted that the desktop area is NOT in the center of the image as the bottom status bar pushes it up a bit.

thanks for this. The wallpaper isn't the same when honeycomb only shows a portion of the wallpaper

I am not really sure if its really anything different then other Android versions. Its really just that Honeycomb is meant to be used in landscape and I dont think that the crop tool has been redesigned to compensate for that.
My other wallpapers on my Nexus S, Vibrant and G1 all look chopped when the phone is rotated to landscape as apposed to portrait. Its still odd that the centered resolution for each desktop is lower then the native resolution of the screen in both dimensions. Its making me wonder if the screen really is 1280x800 native resolution.
Either way the template above works and keeps things centered for us.

Awesome! Thanks, works perfectly so far.

Yes it does, but the images do appear a bit crisper. Im not worried about the size anyway as I store all of my walls on Picasa.

Dumb question for you....do you select green layer and resize the image within the template to that and save the whole thing, or do you resize it to the green area and then create another file?
Think I figured it out

If you are using the large template then the Green area in the center is the area of the wallpaper that is visible on the default center desktop. The red areas to its side are what you will see if you scroll to the desktops left or right of center.
If you are using the colors only to center your images, then hold down CTRL+; to bring up the guides, which will make it easier for you.

You need photoshop to use the PSD in the zip file.
Here is a JPEG of the template, it will not contain the guides but you can still use the colored blocks.

Could someone please explain how to use this template?

Wallpaper question

On my WinMo phone I could easily make custom wallpapers. On the Cappy, not so much. I made a few designs in 480X800 size, landscape and portrait, copied them to the phone, but when I try to use them as wallpapers I can only select a small area of the graphic to use. How should I size a jpg so that I can use it full screen as a wallpaper? Thanks.

would like to know that as well!

You need the full size of the image to be 960x800.
A single screen is 480x800.
I don't have my wallpaper scroll, so I create a 960x800 image canvas in photoshop with a 480x800 image that I place in the middle for the wallpaper.

I'm going to try that, but here's the thing...when I go to select an image for a wallpaper from the Gallery the selection box is more of a square than a rectangle. Even if the center of my image is within that 480X800 area inside the 960X800 area, it will still be cut off because of this.

960x800 isn't that far off from square. At least, it's a lot more square than 480x800. If you have the right proportions, you can expand the box to the full size of the canvas.

Yeah, but I don't want the image to take up the whole screen. I played around with dimensions and placement and came up with a 240X200 logo inside the 960X800 background that works the way I want it to. Got my Harley bar and shield working for me, now. Thanks!

i remember a while back, may have been stock rom... in the wallpaper chooser there WAS (not now) an option somewhere to set the whole image, not just set square shape.... cant find it, may have been a different gallery, or wallpaper chooser.... hmm...

One of the other options is to use something like Flikie(Free in the market). It'll allow you to set a 960x800 as the wallpaper without cropping

Does nova prime allow for larger icons on the gear?

I only have the free version even on my phone so I can't check it myself. I want to make my direct dial shortcut icons bigger. The default size is pretty small. Anybody have a screenshot of the larger icons? Thanks

you get the option to increases the size up to 130% on icon size, But I can tell you that is not much.
However, you can do what I did. I created a picture with my contacts on it, and the used UCCW to make each contact a hot spot that when pressed direct dials them. This way I am no longer limited to the size of icons or the look of icons, I create the pic I want and make it behave the way I want.
Here is how my contact screen looks, it is just one large pic with hot spots created. (I fuzzed out the pics for posting)

this is the max you can get. 130%.
maybe with a custom widget you can create shortcuts with bigger image..

Check this out... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.ostart I have been using and love it

You can also use Desktop Visualiser from the play store to be able to resize or use custom icons.

Quite a interesting app.. nice alternative to touchwiz.

I use widgetsoid for this. Make a widget that points to an app (it uses the apps icon) remove the background and indicator and then resize the widget to the size you like. You can make a template so all you have to do is point to the app to create one.
