Looking to clean up and customize my home screen i wanna start by editing my icons on my home screen and other windows, i know the app drawer will remain named with text, but i did this on my g2x and forgot how. Also i want to remain unrooted cause after my galaxy s2 and rooting it for the skyrocket ics rom compared to the ics rom tmob released the performance change was very welcoming. But if you have any apps or input on remove text from icons on the home/windows while keeping it as stock as possible please let me know, also screenshots would be nice if recommending a new launcher etc.
Thanks

Apex , best launcher going IMO....
Free and paid versions on G-Play and XDA thread for it HERE.. I'm using a custom dock and icons but you can use stock , even download a touchwiz theme if you wish.
Sorry Im not on stock but I do know that it works on stock 100% without root. ( Root needed if you install as a system app , but as normal app its not needed)
Either that or .xml / smali edits but wouldn't know what to edit to be honest ?????

I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).
this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.
here you go:
this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
matching dialer icon:
for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between
I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.
this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look
(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)
Pt 1
Pt 2
Pt 3
P.S.
here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks mate!!!

added matching dialer icon + instructions
Can you also link that dock if possible? Thanks!
it is one of the included dock backgrounds in the free honeycomb adw theme in the market. i can try to post it tommorrow if you just want the image.
Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract it from the apk !

cheers! i was looking for a good app drawer icon..

This is wonderful, exactly what i was looking for, ty
I've been on the search for the perfect Sense 3.0 Lockscreen for MIUI.
I've downloaded so many, and they each have their pros and cons, but never all pros, that I want.
Either, they'll have good icons, but the date is messed up.
One will have music controls, but no notifications on the text/phone icons.
Stuff like that.
I have a screenshot of the Sense lock I'm using now, which has the perfect icons and such. But it's missing notifications on the icons and music controls.
I also uploaded the mtz for it.
I'm hoping someone will be so awesome and edit it for me.
On this mtz, I want:
-The date format changed from "04.09.2011" to "EEEE, MMM dd"
-Music controls, after double tapping lock ring or date.
-Notification bubbles over phone and text icons when I receive them.
If someone could make this happen for me, that would be amazing.
I'd have the perfect Sense 3.0 lockscreen that I've been searching for. : ]

I just found this launcher and I love it.
Here is a shot of it on my NS4G

From the maker:
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that’s not to say it doesn’t also function well in portrait mode….. as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher’s Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work. Most ADW Themes will work for VTL.Launcher.
Features Include:
- tablet layout optimized (smaller screens will need to play with desktop layout and dock icon size)
- elastic scrolling
- 3 individually configurable/toggleable scrollable dock bars
- individual controls per dock for background/reflection/visibility/icon size
- icon size for docks can be set different per orientation
- user folders to place shortcuts to apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc.
- icon changing for user folders and apps.
- quick action items menu when long pressing apps, folders and widgets.
- catalogs for organizing apps in the app drawers
- swipe actions on app drawer to navigate catalogs
- uncataloged catalog where new and uncatagorized apps fall
- 1 to 7 homes screens with sense-like previews
- configurable action bindings (swipe up, swipe down, home button)
- long hold uninstall from trashcan
- moveable trashcan location
- hide home screen icon labels
- auto rotate orientation
- system persistence with configurable locked orientation
- widget size spanning
- scrollable widget support
- live wallpaper support
- fullscreen mode
- backup/restore settings
- compatible with “most” ADW Themes
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column, row numbers, dock sizes etc.

Version from his web is probably ok, I didn't actually try it. But before, I bought it from the market (version on the market is little bit newer 1.7.0 to 1.6.5), now can't download it from the market anymore.
I guess 1.6.5 will be running pretty fine on my phone, there were just some minor fixes in 1.7.0, but I am just not sure if I want launcher with stopped development...

I've been very busy with my android desktop and was a big rush to get my supplies LauncherAdvanced, unique thread of my development HERE
I would like to clarify that I have compiled this launcher for a long time, then the android trendy JB was 4.2, I had to make some optimizations so that it can get better at 4.4 and 5.1 (maybe in the future 6.0).
The purpose of the launcher is the same as I always have in mind, do not like and have never liked large packages and applications do not like too much RAM consumption, thinking that I developed this launcher, it is a typical size coming from ADW sources @AnderWeb (Thanks).
Their characteristics are very clear, see below:
Desktop settings
Set icons and wallpaper
Set style dock bar
You can set colors and transparencies in the apps grid
you can create folders and name them
Speed to open the apps grid
Animations, themes etc ..
You can also back up and restore it if you want to save your settings
Known bugs:
At the moment he does not have a transparent status bar (I will fix this)
By using wallpaper is a blur in the dock bar (only the launcher wallpapers, you can use other without problems)
Some other?
It is fully in the development of state and I will appreciate if you understand java and can help me with corrections, so I'll leave my sources available on GitHub
DOWNLOAD HERE
To install:
Download the latest launcher
Pass to your SD
Install usually how to install an apk SD

Hi dev I'm using this launcher from past 3 days, really I'm loving it.
I got every thing which I want like ,
It's light weight.
Smooth
I can set it to full screen by hiding status bar.
Specially the short cut icon sick at the bottom ( I really loved the concept).
But after using it I felt like I'm using kitkat launcher in my One plus one (5.1 lollipop).
And their is no smooth scrolling.
Their is a problem with animation.
I'm not getting the widgets properly like my cm weather widget unable to display weather only time and date .
Each icon using more space then the actual size.
I'm unable to increase the size of icons .
Old type widget and shortcut section menu etc .
But I'm still using it coz I'm loving it.
Hope you ll update it soon with latest standards.
Thank you dev
