Right now, I'm running CM 6 and I had launcher pro plus, loved the widgets but i found it was using up quite a bit of my battery. I'm trying to switch back to ADW launcher but I cant find anything close to the widgets that Launcher pro offered(i.e. bookmarks, messaging scroll widget). I've looked at beautiful widgets, pure messenger, and some other ones but can't quite find anything like it.
Is there a way to get sense widgets on cm6 other than launcherpro? Even the clock widget that has alarm+timer+stopwatch when you click it(i have weather widgets so it looks identical). And also the bookmarks4x4 and messaging scrollable widgets.
No you can not get sense widgets unless you are running a 1.5 ROM or Sense its self because the apps need to be ported along with the corresponding framework, which was done on some 1.5 ROM[look it up]. If you really want them search for a stable sense ROM idk if 32A has any but i know 32b does have a stable one by Xillius . Use Launcher Pro or Pro Plus and find a battery optimization apk as-well..
If you want sense... use a senseui rom. Simple as that.

I am thinking about doing some theming with my Thunderbolt. In the past I have stuck with basic tweaks but now I would like to do some more in-depth theming.
I do not plan to manually modify files. Instead, I plan to theme the overall UI by using widgets, lock-screen replacements, and launcher settings.
For example, I would like to customize the look and feel of my device using some of the following tools:
Minimalist Text Widget
Simi Folders Widget
Beautiful Widgets
Desktop Visualizer
Widget Locker
etc
What is the best way to "theme" the device to have customizations such as lock screens and minimalist feel. I have begun using the above tools and can see the power behind them. In combo with launchers such as ADW or LauncherPro you can achieve the look and feel you desire.
I am unsure the best approach for lock screens and dock replacements.
I am planning to research this more but was hoping some more experienced "themers" in the community could chime in and share the best approach!! I understand that there is a lot of tweaking involved in this process.
Please provide your suggestions and advice. Maybe share what widgets you use and other things I may be missing (font packs, backgrounds, launcher docks, widgets, lock screens, etc.)
Thank You!
Most people use widget locker for the lockscreen...
I suggest , (personal taste) ADW Ex for a custom launcher replacement...
Thanks for starting off the suggestions! I plan to use WidgetLocker and ADW Launcher EX.
I need to look into more WidgetLocker themes to see what is possible!! The possibilities seem endless
I also need to find out how easy it is to replace icons/docks for ADW versus other available launchers!

How can I theme the lock screens? I am new to this, so any pointers would be helpful. I can dig deeper into the forums for that info as well.
I just figured using Widget Locker would allow for easy lock screen theming!

the lockscreens for htc are different than what im used to for aosp/touchwiz but the images are prolly in framework-res.apk, and htcresources.apk in system/framework and htclocksreen.apk in system/app
the aosp lockscreen would be framework-res.apk...sense slider in the other 2
Ahhh. Okay. So I would need to manually replace the images... makes sense.
One reason I am attracted to Widget Locker is the easy theming and ability to include information on the lock screen. For example, I could use Minimalist Text Widget to display battery level, time, etc.
I also plan to flash CM7 as soon as I feel it is ready (stable enough for regular function). No worries... I am definitely not sticking with Sense!

sense is kinda cool for the rosie mods and lockscreen mods you can do....and honestly i love the theme (i made the sense theme for the fascinate)....but aosp is certainly preferable for many things
Okay. What is the best way to change fonts?!
Also, which launcher do most people prefer for theming. The most popular seem to be ADW Launcher EX, Launcher Pro Plus, and Go Launcher EX.
I used ADW Launcher extensively with CM ROMs. I have not used the EX version but know it unlocks additional features (such as transition animations and the ability to swap dock/icon images).
I recently started using Launcher Pro Plus and am enjoying it very much! I do not know if ADW or Go Launcher has any additional functionality that would make it "better".
Finally, I have no experience with Go Launcher but have heard good things about it...

search xda for flashable font packs...some subforums have several hundred grouped together
Can anyone who has been using Widget Locker post some of their creative locksceen pics?
I can try to remember this evening after work.
Hey guys, you know in Launcher pro with the facebook widget all the letters are white. Is there anyway I can change the text color?
There were some skins available you may try, i think.
I ditched LauncherPro and went Go Launcher Ex (which is free btw). There's a facebook widget from GO team that i actually find better than LauncherPro's.
I also found Go Launcher as smooth as LP, more skins, more options (iOS-like uninstall software one, for ex). Not really anything going for LP that would make me want to use it again.
Ok ill give that launcher a shot: ) thanks!
Hey guys, can some one provide info about any Stock launcher (Android stock launcher, not touchwiz) for tab with 5x5 layout OR TouchWiz (4/4.5) launcher modded for tab ?
Tried using the available TouchWiz 4.0 launcher in Themes section, whose version is 2.3.3. But it fails launching.
I am with Overcome 4.1.0 installed. Am too sick of this native TouchWiz interface. Have tried a lot, but haven't found these. If someone can do any help, please...
have you tried ADW EX launcher? i dont believe you can set a different grid size with the stock launcher, but you definately can with ADW, it also allows you to get a close to stock look.
ADW.Launcher is free, ADWLauncher EX is paid, try out ADW.Launcher first and if you like it i suggest you pay for ADWLauncher EX.
ADW.Launcher (market)
ADWLauncher EX (market)

Been using Nova launcher and Apex launcher instead of touchw launcher but can't get the Samsung widgets such as month, is there a way to use them with nova or apex?
I don't think so..
but you can find many great widgets in play store..
Thanks for the reply unfortunately there isn't a widget for the calendar half as good as the Samsung one for the note.
