Hey guys,
I've been searching with no luck on how to install custom icons for ADW Launcher EX. I already have the icons saved and know how to change them on the home screen but I can't figure out how to get changed system wide ie app drawer also. Any help would be great.

Hey guys so I just got my captivate about 3 days ago and I successfully rooted it and am still looking for the nice clean looking themes. I went to one thread with all these android desktops and everyone seems to have really cool docks and widgets. Can anyone share with me where I can go about looking for some widgets and how do put dock icons into my phone? Thanks guys.
I'm using LauncherPro but I haven't found a whole theme using it. I did use ADW Launcher and they have loads of Full Themes, including Icons, Wallpapers and Sounds.

Alright I already got launcher pro, but I was digging some other dock icons. Like how do I add custom dock icons into my phone?
After I purchased Launcher Pro Plus, it came with new Icons. Not sure about loading different/custom icons.

check out launcherpro.droidicon.com - all i do is save the icons/docks in their own folders. for the docks, just go to Preferences -> Appearance -> Dock Background -> Custom -> then select whichever one i want from the gallery.

My home in DHD with ADW Launcher & Beautiful Widget.
Wallpaper by zedge!!
so as a android and DHD newbies how did you getting it looking like that and what is the android icon in the top left?
He changed the look of the phone by replacing HTC Sense with a program called ADW Launcher. You can get it in the Market. A program with the same capability is Launcher Pro. Check it out
thanks very much i will give them a go

The icon is for a task killer app - which you don't need!
I don't like the style personaly but it's original ^^
hi guys, short question...i am new to android, so if i install awd or launcher pro, do i have to uninstall/deactivate sense first? can i switch back to sense?
When a new App is installed, which changes some standard behaviour, you will be prompted which App you want to use. After installing LauncherPro press HOME Key, you will be asked, which App should be taken for that. You can also check the box for useing it every time.
When you want to go back, you have to reset that thing in Settings - Application.
So you can easily go back to Sense. Or you can uninstall LauncherPro, same effect.
thanks for the info. i will try it...
Hey guys, I have just installed ADW Launcher and set it as default but now I can not find the Home button to long press and back to HTC Sense?
Here is my homescreen, How can I find this home button to leave ADW?

It should be the same as LauncherPro. Go in settings -> Manage app -> Choose ADW and Clear Default ( if I remember well I don't have it installed atm )

Hi, thanks for sharing this with us, but why did you open a new thread instead of posting in the Show your display thread???
There's a warning in the forum rules about opening new threads when a similar one alrady exists.

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.
Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob
To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience
if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.
When I apply a theme for miui I get all its features except for the icons.
The icons is set by the goLauncher. Is their a way to set go launcher with the miui theme icons?
p.s
I use go launcher and not miui launcher
Miui launcher doesn't share icons with others launchers. You have to download a Miui theme for go launcher from the market, many of these are free.
It's like homescreen, if you change launcher it change also.

The soulution is goto Settings -> Display -> Preferred Launcher and select your desired launcher.
Hope it works.
