Can I get rid of the Touchwiz wallpaper?
Or I can need some sort of theme manager?
Thank you.

search on market for wallpapers apps.install-select wallpaper you like and hit "set wallpaper" button.

Using this black wallpaper for the home screen made my phone snappier..Stock wallpapers much heavier i guess..However i cant use this as my lock screen wallpaper as it doesnt look as real black as i was expecting it to look like it used to on my SII. I dont know but it looks like a really really dark grey color and i see some horizontal lines appear when i touch my finger on the screen (lock screen)! Dunno if my phone's screen is problematic or if it's normal!
Download 'colors' from the market. It's free. Set to all black. It's the first thing I do on an OLED screen due to power conservation.

so to get a black background you want another app running and one that needs permission for NETWORK COMMUNICATION for FULL INTERNET ACCESS. really?

If you are referring to "colors," you can remove your tinfoil hat. I've used it for years and it's great. Nothing to worry about.
But eh, whatever. It's a fast and easy way to set to pure black X000000
I use an app called no wallpaper by Mihai Preda.

I learn a lot from you guys. I did not realize there are so many ways to do it. I now use "single color" app to set home screen and lock screen to black.

Hey guys! I've been around here for a while lurkin on my older phones, but since I got the epic I'm finally coming around to posting. Anyhow, I was bored tonight and no overtime came up this weekend so I made up some docks real quick, since mine was getting stale after a month or two. Hope you guys like em. I'm not a photoshop perfectionist so a few flaws may be present. When they are on the phone with their 75ish % Transparency most flaws disappear anyways. When I briefly checked them all, at a glance they all looked fine. So let me know if anythings messed up in any of them, I just run the blue now myself.
Kinda loosely based on the dreamlyfe docks with the side app drawer, but much wider so the tallmin icons fit in them nicely. In fact they were designed with those icons in mind. Let me know what ya think. Feel free to rape them to peices and create your own and re-post em or whatever
Edit: All have 74% Opaque (26% Transparency) for a nice look, and resized to work well with Portrait/Landscape. Tallmin icons will now be readable in either orientation. Wow didnt realize how ugly it was before fixed.
Can u do one with orange plz? Good job by the way!
Sent from my Epic 4G
sure can
Sure I can, later this evening after work. I mostly just change colors with color range select and color change tool so it makes it pretty easy. If anyone else wants a specific color let me know and ill make it. Just figured these 3 were most popular.
On a side note, if anyone wants the non transparent version of any of them just PM me and ill send it your way. Cheers!
Thank u so much!

I guess I am a complete noob lol, how would I install the dock image? I have no clue and I didnt see any option to do it in the LauncherPro settings. Maybe I missed it or I need to put the file somewhere specific?
Preferences => appearance settings => dock background (let's you choose from your photo gallery)

Thanks.... I looked through the menus twice and totally missed that one lol.
Uhhh I have launcher pro...where are the links so I can add this to my Epic 4G...and how do I install it once I have them?...great I Idea by the way...and the black dock with white edges for a black and white themed ROM like Baked Snack would be cool...?
Somebody know....anybody know...?

I only know how to DL onto a PC and then xfer to the SD Card. Right click on the image(dock that you want to DL) from the OP and select save as... , then copy the image/file to your phone/SD Card. Now while at the homescreen in LP hit the menu key>preference>appearance settings>dock background>custom>and then you should be able to scroll to the image in the gallery that it brings up

These are great! Can you please create one with white on the top and bottom of the dock? TIA
any way to center the glow so the app drawer looks good in the middle
A quick and maybe dumb question: Is there a way to arrange icons in the homescreen just by sliding one on top of the other, like the iPhone?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thats exactly what you do.
Press and hold the icon the drag it round to where you want it then let go.
Drag it down to the bin icon to remove it.
To place an icon on the home screen, go to the apps screen and press and hold the icon you want on the home screen. Only let go when you see the home screen appear.

Sorry if I haven't made myself clear, what I mean is if it's possible to drag an icon on top of another so they switch places.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
as far as I know it is only possible in the TouchWiz App Launcher (when you are in the edit mode),
but you can't change places on the homescreen like on the iPhone. (not with standart launcher)
This was something I was surprised by as well... it's like having one of those puzzle sliders at times to get everything where I want it!

Indeed
Even more annoying to me is the fact, that folders don't close when the home button is pressed / an app is launched. I think that's quite irritating...Oo
Hey all. Somehow, certain wallpaper on the lock screen looks like [email protected] I mean it has those banding/gradient/blotchy appearance (especially dark/black ones). Although, when I view on the gallery it looks fine, and even if I use it as a home screen wallpaper it's okay.
Is this a problem with my screen or something else? It's just on the lock screen though, so I'm a bit stump on what's going on.
Thanks.

You can fix that by installing WidgetLocker.

I love widget locker, but I use a pattern lock on my screen, I and up doing twice the work opening my phone. Unless I can lock my phone with widget locker?

Nope, WL doesn't support locking. So what's it going to be? Safety or great looking blacks?

lol. I'll stick with safety...
Like I've said earlier, some wallpaper doesn't exhibit this anomaly...So I'll use those, of course, as always the case, the one wallpaper that I really want to use is the one that looks like crap. lol.
So maybe I'm having a major brain.Gary and missing it someplace but can you not change the shortcut icons on the lock screen? Also, is the face unlock only a Nexus option or an ICS feature?

Face unlock works great for me I set time out to imediatly if that helps at all?

Yes, set it to immediately then it will ask for face or pattern unlock immediately after screen off.
The lock screen icons are the 4 shortcuts you have from the home screen shortcuts. Currently they are one and the same, and you cannot have a separate set for the lock screen.
When you change the dock apps they become the lock screen apps
Edited and erased because I'm dumb lol

Hello. This is a screenshot of my girlfriends s5. Trying to figure out what this red film icon is. It's stuck on her screen. It is almost like it's part of the wallpaper because if you move between screens, it stays where it is. You can't click on it or long clock on it either. Tried changing wallpapers and it did not fix it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
She is using Nova launcher, FYI.

Not sure what caused it. It was the same icon as play video or whatever it's called. Got rid of it by restarting her phone. Very strange.
