So I have been looking for a launcher that I can have 4 dock icons, something similar to miui or the galaxy s. I have tried the adw miui hack and twlauncher port but both don't offer very much customization. And I don't think the adw miui hack has been updated for a while.
If any one can help me find something, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can use ADW without the dock (choose the no dock/extend homescreen option) and photoshop on the dock/icons. Then use transparent icons with desktop visualizer or through normal adw shortcuts, just be sure to remove the text.
You can still use the hidden dock - just make a shortcut or swipe gesture to reveal it.
If you don't have Photoshop, you can always use GIMP. It's a free alternative with many similar tools and options.
I'm not really sure of another way. I know that this is possible with ADW EX, but I'm not sure if you can only use the hidden dock with the free version.

That's a good idea. It's a shame that Launcher Pro doesn't allow 4 icons like the OP (and i), would like. Maybe one day...
Hell I wish I knew how to make a launcher lol.
You can also try vLauncher. It works a lot like the MIUI launcher.
you can try this, it is a paid app but i've been using it and it works pretty good, just like adw with 4 dock icons
adw.miui.launcher
Have you tried zeam?

Long press the icon you want to change and select either change application or change icon.

Is there a way to hide dock or to enlarge icons? I know it doesen't have that option but maybe some kind of hack to enlarge them
Hi everyone, I've been playing with new Nexus S (my first android phone) for a few days now, and I can't decide on which homescreen launcher to use because each has features I like and lacks some that the others have. Maybe someone can find a remedy for me. I've made some notes about what I like or dislike about the following three launchers I've used.
ADWLauncher EX:
Separate catalogs on drawer
Lacks scrolling dock (hidden dock is less intuitive to me)
Best homescreen transitions
Go Launcher:
Gesture response for icons on dock
Tab to see running apps from app drawer that lets you kill or switch between tasks easily. However, the tab takes away space from the icons. Maybe there's another way to access something like this, a gesture for example? (image here)
Best edit function for screens: provides convenient way to move icons from one screen to another, lets reposition screens, delete
2 touch access to phone settings from menu button
Share access from menu button
Launcher Pro:
Missed calls/sms/email notification in the doc
I personally like Zeam..
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The main reason I use LPP is because of he cal widget and being able to use custom dock images. Over ADW EX that is.
Launcher Pro Plus, by far.

I like Zeam. Light and fast!
Actually I'll further confuse you.

There's a way to get the "counts" in ADW with paid app "ADWNotifier".

I am guessing you mean LauncherPro? Compared to drag-and-drop of HelixLauncher dock config, LauncherPro dock IS hard to config.
Why is LauncherPro so popular here? I feel like its the most limited. No long-hold uninstall or edit from the homescreen like the others. I liked it the least out ADW, Go Launcher, and LauncherPro.

I think LPP was the first Launcher to have a drop-to-uninstall function.
Zeam. Minimalistic, light, fast, awesome.

hmm i should try go launcher a lot people saying its great i havnt tried it yet but tried others like lp adw and zeam and so far ive been stuck in the middle of lp and adw
zeam doesn't let you customize the icons in the dock. For that, you have to use launcherpro, and I think GO launcher could also work (someone mentioned adw could work, but i haven't tried)
BUT if you want to change the icons on your homescreen and don't want to switch to launcherpro, then get Desktop Visualizer. Pretty easy to use, and you can choose the icon you want for any action! You can also try Any Cut, but I highly recommend desktop visualizer
Couldn't you use a program to change an app's icon (like BetterCut or Folder Organizer), then drop the new icon onto the dock bar?
I haven't tried this yet, but I'll give it a go and post the results...of course, is anyone out there has already tried/done this, please feel free to share.
I have a Motorola Defy, but I'm using a different, non-official ROM, that comes with Launcher Pro. My question is, if I can switch my dock to the Motoblur dock, since I really like it.
Thanks for your answers.
Can't be done. The dock is tied to the launcher app, therefore you must use Motorola's launcher app, not launcherpro.
Also please post in the suitable section next time. This is a subforum for themes

Thanks for the answer, and sorry for posting here..
If your using Launcher Pro you can just get a dock that looks like motoblur and apply it in the preferences.
I would check out HELauncher. When installed, press menu, and click customize. Navigate to Blur or Ninja (not sure which runs on the Defy) and press Apply. The motoblur style is from the newer versions, not like the Devour and Cliq.

Yeah but the problem is, that in Launcher Pro you can only use their own icon for the app drawer..
I'll try the HeLauncher, thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I succeeded doing that with Launcher Pro, I took the dock that lesa gave me (thanks lesa) and in the 2 right spots I put contacts applications with a 72x72 icon that I made, that is actually nothing, a png file so you cant even see it, same with the 2 left ones and the middle
Thanks!

Terranalon, please, write in few words how did you succeed with this dockbar in LauncherPro :good:
I was using Launcher Pro almost a year and I really like it's dock bar but GO Launcher Ex is a way more powerful than LP.
I'd like to copy LP dock bar into GO Launcher Ex. Yes, I know, you can change dock and icons manually in the settings but it doesn't look the same as original. I even found all necessary images:

But as I said, that's not it. :/ Is there any theme or app for GO imitating LP dock bar? Or can you tell me how to extract original dock bar and icons from LauncherPro?
PS: I've noticed that you can assign one app only to one folder in app drawer in GO Launcher Ex, why? I was using FolderOrganizer on LP where you can assign labels (folders) to the app, so one app can be assigned to many folders. Is there any solution for that in GO drawer?

You don't have to quote my message if you're replaying just under my post.
I'm not using ADW Luncher... Well, I think you didn't read my post at all? By the way I already said in previous post that I downloaded all icons and set them manually in dock but I'm not happy with results.
Thanks, but you didn't help me.
I was just suggesting adw as it is more powerful than lp, and I always quote as someone may reply while I am writing! My apologies for trying to help name noted, I won't try in future due to your terse answer, all the best

Oh, don't be angry on me! I prefer GO Launcher Ex, I used to have ADW for some time but I went back to LP. Now is time for GO. The GO team makes pretty good apps and have great support.
Hymm, I think that I just must get used to new dock design.
Ok ok, peace dude
