[Q]Stock Launcher/Widgets with a different theme? - LG Optimus Black

I like having the stock widgets that lg provide but don't like the theme/launcher. Is there any way to keep the widgets and change the launcher or theme the stock launcher?

mee 2 want this

yes
search for "appwidgetpicker" on google (or directly on xda)

http://www.4shared.com/file/zybLWC6b/AppWidgetPicker-122.html
Rename the app to "AppWidgetPicker.apk", copy to system > app, set permission to rw-r-r then reboot.

[Q] How to change launcher

Hi last question then im nearly finished making my rom...
How do i get rid of LGHome and add go launcher??? and how do i change the launchers icons..
thanks again
Open your rom zip file, navigate to /system/app/
remove LGHome.apk, and add GoLauncher.apk
(I think that the launchers' permissions will be changed, but if not, change it's name to LGHome.apk)
or you can just keep LGhome and let users choose whatever launcher we want, dont you think?
think we should leave the stock lg launcher, you should be able to choose just add golauncher

but how can this be changed in the rom, before it was flashed? Is there a possibility to use a different launcher by replacing the original launcher.apk in the custom rom with 7zip or winrar, before I flash it?
e.g. i want to change the XperiaLauncher to LauncherPro
Extract the zip (rom), goto system/app/ delete xperia launcher and replace it with launcher pro (as you mentioned in above post).
Also similar for theme goto app in the roms zip and delete the theme, replace by xperia arc.
Rezip the rom and flash..

to show icons maybe u will need reboot your phone.
for who have problems with accuweather widget: there is an alternative one in this thread by -Aatif-:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1596304
u don't need s3 launcher to be installed. it works with apex and nova, too. just copy accuweather_widget_files.zip of s3 launcher.and then install the link as a normal apk.
and of course u can use both 4*2 and 4*1 together with s3 launcher.

p.s.: accuweather main apk may fc when u try to add city. but finds your current location well. also u can add city by "edit" and then "search" in city list screen menu..

i have played with seclauncher2.apk by Superhero340. it is for jb and no need to change dpi for our device.
homescreen is 4x5 and app grid is 4x4.. just need to put the apk and the lib files to their system directories with rw-r-r then reboot. and be sure you have enough space in system directory.

[Request] Change icon pack for any theme in theme store?

There are a few decent themes in Samsungs store. However, the icon packs are horrendous. Nova launcher hides them in some places but not others, like the share menus.
Does anyone know how to flash the material icons over any theme?
Edit: Also, how about the wallpaper for settings and dialers?
Thanks for any help [emoji2]

You would need apktool to compile the icons into the actual theme. However, if you want to just remove the icons and have them stock, you can try this:
-Edit /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson/THEMENAME.json and remove the line for "appicon", then delete the corresponding folder from /data/app/THEMENAME.appicon-1. If you want to remove the icons from the lockscreen, you will need to do the same for the "lock" line/file.
