Hello,
I am sorry if I am in the wrong sub, this seemed the most appropriate section but forgive me if I am wrong.
So basically I got this icon pack called "min" (also using Nova Launcher, don't know whether this has anything to do with it, I am very new to customizing), and when I applied the icon pack, my app drawer icon was the same size as my regular icons.
Now suddenly, without changing anything (that I know), my app drawer icon got huge again and I cannot figure out how to change it back to the size of the other icons from the icon pack (I added an image to show you what I mean, it kind of looks ridiculous now haha).

I must be doing something extremely dumb wrong, but I cannot figure it out. Any help on this?
Kind regards

I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!
I assume you mean the application icons, in the applications list? Are you able to provide a screenshot of one you tried to edit (before or after)?

Sorry, I lost track and didn't subscribe. I'm just talking about the stock Launcher Pro Dock icons, sort of.

See the ones at the bottom? Like that, basically.
I See What You Mean.
Someone should release a vector version of those icons. :/
Wrong post. I'm dumb.
I know what you mean. I always find great icons, but they don't look right in the dock. They're made too small and look bad.
Here you go: http://www.iconfinder.com/browse
There are currently 760 full icon sets in there as I type this, all free, some for even commercial use, which allow you to download in .png or .ico format. You can even search for individual replacements for icons as well.
Happy hunting!

Hey guys, I just bought my Nook Color yesterday and rooted it as well. The thing I am trying to figure out is is there a tutorial on how to get it like a tablet and put icons on the home screen and use a launcher just like any tablet running on Android? Please keep in mind I am looking for compete instructions on how to change the launcher and add icons and such because I rooted it by following the exact steps. Currently I have Soft Keys as the default launcher with the book one running under that. Thanks very much in advance!
I'm in the same boat. I read the threads and learned a lot, tried a few things, and asked a few questions. The problem with simply following a list of instructions is that you wouldn't really be setting it up the way you want, and that is one of the beauties of rooting.

Well I put Zeam Launcher on it and I am pretty happy with the way it looks so far, just gotta figure out how to add icons and widgets to the pages... Also whats the ideal size for wallpaper for the nook color?
I suggest looking at the screenshots. Finding looks you like. Than going to the android market and doing. No better education that doing.

Use" wallpaper set and save" (free from market) to change wallpaper, and as for placing icons on "desktop" pages, go to apps drawer and press and hold on an app. The drawer will disapear andyou will be able to place it...
Sorry for rushed answer...
Thanks for the replies guys I got my book perfect. The only thing is how can I remove a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen? Its behind the page indicator on the top and behind the dock on the bottom.
i made a complete guide on my website how to root with some different tweaks you can do:

Thanks for the reply but there is nothing on your site saying how to remove the bars and/or to stretch the wallpaper to cover the whole screen as well as behind the dock.
Anyone have an idea of his to strech the wallpaper as was stated in my previous post? I really hate the black bars on top and behind the dock.

You have to get the right size wallpaper. I have lost the link to the site, but you can choose what size wallpaper to dnld & If I remember correctly, if you go to the site with the NC, it will offer the right size files by default.
Cheers,
kev
P.S. The NC screen is 1024 x 600
Thus far, I've been unable to find this type of icon set, but maybe someone knows where I can find it (or at least something very close). Basically, I want icons that look like "glass". The closest I've been able to find are slightly transparent white icons that are surrounded by a glassy border. Here's a screenshot of the icons I'm currently using:

What I'm looking for is something without a border, where the icon, itself, has a transparent, "glassy" look to it. Anyone know of any icon packs like this?
Closest thing I can think of is THAcrystal by THAphlash

I have a pack schedule for production that will look like what your looking for.. please be patient a bit... it will be worth it.
edit: was wrong
This is gonna end up sound like a stupid easy fix, but I have searched everywhere and cannot find a way to change the look of the icons.
For one, the button on the left change from "Recents" to some stupid "Flip between two apps you used" that is getting really frustrating.
And two, the icons of the buttons themselves changed somehow. How does one change it back to the regular ones? I am using Resurrection Remix rom and Nova Launcher

Have you changed themes? I'm running the minimal theme and have the same softkeys. Themes will change them. As far as them being switched, I haven't ran Resurrection yet, but there should be something in the settings to flip-flop and edit them I'm sure. Have you changed anything in there?

I guess it's happening for the specific theme you're using as I can see you navigation bar, you seemed to be using a theme, right? If so then it's a normal thing. To switch between styles of navbars of your choice use SoftKeyZ
Thank you for the reply guys. I am indeed using a theme but these styles showed up randomly, days after I installed the theme. I even went as far as installing a completely new theme and they remain. I tried the SoftKeyz app and even that app can't seem to change them. I wouldn't even mind these so much if the left key was the recents and not a switch between last two apps used.
Hi All,
Just checking how do I change or increase the icon grid on the display screen from 4*5 to more ?
Thank you.

It's done through the 'Styles' customisation when you long-press on the homescreen. You can adjust icon shape, accent colour, and grid size.
Bit strange that it's in that menu - especially since icon size is elsewhere - but given many previous revisions of Moto's software never had the feature natively, I'm happy.
Is there any way to put 6×6?

Just with custom launchers.
I have used nova launcher until recently. I'm facing a bug where I cant close an app, and that app will stay on my screen whatever I do.
I've tried microsoft launcher and Smart launcher, but same thing was happening.
Now, I use Hyperion, and so far. for 1 week, that bug happened just once, instead every day like with other launchers.
With root you can edit the stock launcher:
go to data/data/com.motorola.launcher3/shared_prefs and in shared_prefs there is an .xml file called "com.android.launcer3.prefs.xml". Inside you fill find the line "<string name="pref_grid">XxY</string>" where instead of XxY you put 6x6 or whatever you want. You will also find the line "<string name="PREF_ICON_NEW_SIZE" value ="X" />" which allows you to change the icon size to whatever you like. After edit the .xml file to be read only so that the phone doesn't change it and give it a restart. It may or may not work, I haven't tried it with Android 12.
