Hi guys,
You know on the bottom of the Nexus One home screen you have three quick lauch buttons...?
[X][Menu][X]
I see in some screenshots in theme development where people have 5 icons on the bottom
[X][X][Menu][X][X]
How do you do that?
Thanks
download a different launcher... launchers are the general GUI for your phone....
Most people use either ADW Launcher or I prefer Launcher pro (i have the plus edition for the extra little widgets)
I would recommend you try Launcher pro first, its a little more polished in my opinion... ADW is an open source launcher and i think it has a lot of short comings and more bugs...
Yep. LP or ADW is what you need. You can theme both as well to change the dock graphics. I, too, prefer LP
LauncherPro is the best one.

Hey all,
Recently saw the thread about peoples home screens and saw some really nice ones.
I have a question though about launcher pro and I can't find any tutorials or solutions for it online.
In short when using launcher pro it gives you a default of 5 shortcuts on the dock for each screen (maximum of 7 screens I think)
I've seen some setups where people have replaced the shortcut image with a word (ie messages, phone, internet)
I want to do this but everytime I try to change the image for a word it shrinks it down to a set size to fit in with the 4 other shortcuts on the dock, I'd like to do it so the word takes up the space of two shortcuts.
Basically I want it to look like the dock at the bottom of this one:

(sorry couldn't make it a link and post)
Or at least similar, does anyone know how to do this? I'm using Launcher pro, would I need Launcher pro plus?
Thanks!

You don't need launcherpro plus but what you do need is that exact launch bar or you need to make one yourself. The way that look was achieved is that there are no actual visible icons on that bar, instead they made a .png of a bar with the text where they wanted the icons to be and then used transparent icons to actually place the shortcuts. I believe SonnySekhon has a bunch of docks like that in his theme thread and you can pick and choose one. If you can't find a transparent icon, I'll post one later but I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes so I can't do it now.

Here is a little something special from me, i think it will help you in re-creating that home screen, its an invisible icon. Just run your mouse over it to see exactly where the pic is. Its hard to see cause its invisible . Plus a drawer icon incase you want it.
I really like it, nice look.

Yeah I found the browser icon there but couldn't find the phone icon.
Does anybody know what is the Theme/Launcher the guys is using?

It's the last video from the review and you can see his Homescreen at about 0:33
I've been looking all over the internet for 3 days. XDA is my last hope to find out.
Thanks!
From the looks of it, it looks like a regular stock SGS2 launcher. I compared it against other reviews and it looks similar. I watched the video some more and noticed a few things that reminds me a lot of ADW launcher. Like for instance, when he swiped up, it opened the app drawer. ADW Launcher has that feature. When I looked at his dock bar, it didn't look like a regular dock bar and possibly had a hidden one. ADW Launcher has that feature as well.
But, my conclusion is it is a regular stock SGS2 launcher. You can still find similarities to it by using ADW Launcher.

Thank you from your reply!
Still I don't know how to make my SGSII look like that (I love those thin icons in the homescreen, thats what I want)
Mine is a Spanish 1.2Ghz SGSII
Any ideas?

Oh, you just want the thin icons like in the video? Have you checked through your Settings menu for anything relating to home docks and launcher?
My co-worker has a SGS2 and I could probably check his phone and see if such feature like that exist.
If not, then I don't know what will allow you to have thin icons like that and whatnot. Best thing to do is check through all your settings.

Yes I checked all settings. I'm think thats not the stock launcher.
Hope someone can recognize it
I guess you mean the clustered homescreen? Its ADW. And it looks like there isn't a theme applied. They're all stock icons, but tgeyre cut off because there's so many columns.

Hi there, does anybody know if a Straight Rosie Bar "Dock" exists for the Sensation Xl ??
Have scoured the forums but to no avail, i was hoping someone would have made one.
Thanks
sounds more likely to be a launcher replacement then actual Rosie Release

Arh thats what it is called a Launcher, hehe always called it a dock. Doh!!
Thanks
Try something like ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, Launcher PRO etc. from the market. many of them have themes which are extremely close to Sense, but using various different docks at the bottom.

Hey guys.
Just a quick question. I saw the S10+ at the store today and saw that it had big icons, which I found to really like.
However, my icons on my Note 8 remain small and I would really want to get those big icons.
Am I missing something? Or is there a way to port the S10s launcher to the Note 8?
Thanks

I'm fairly certain it's a Samsung design choice. I think the difference is intentional from their end. What you can do, however, is install a third party launcher, such as Nova Launcher. With that you can change the size of the icons and the grid layout. You can even apply third party icon packs, which I like to do every so often to make things look a little different and "fresh".
Personally, I am not a fan of the massive icons in the SGS10's UI. I think that the Note 8's icons are the perfect size.
Their is a simple way for big icons

I have a solution for u buddy
Just go to home settings change homescreen grid to 4x5 and appdrawer grid too
U will get so big icons and just keep 4 icons in dock
And to justify the look increase the display size fron settings u will enjoy the one handed look of one ui
