Hi to all
I have note 8 without root, and I have few questions hopping you can help.
1) I try to find a way to use multi wallpapers to all of my home screens. All the apps in google play are old, without updates for years. There is any launcher that support it?
2) I looking for launcher with full customization but with a possibility to keep the lock screen from the theme I bought from Samsung store. For years I only use go launcher and there is no way to keep the lock screen of the theme.
3) I use Wings Samsung Fonts, and I wonder why not all the fonts are changed? there is any way to changed them all?
4) There is any way to changed fonts and color of specific apps? I used fonter years ago, but it needs root.
Thank you

I come from a jailbroken series of iDevices and I need some assistance. I'm looking for a few of my favorite iOS tweaks on Android.
The first one I'm looking for is something that makes use of gestures. The app in Cydia was called Zephyr.
For example:
1. Swiping up from the bottom brings up the all the current running apps (the same as holding the middle button on the i9000
2. Swiping from the end of one page to the next switches between apps.

3. Add an toggle to the dock at the top to kill all running apps.
4. Add other toggles to the dock such as flashlight
5. Move Multiple Icons at once
6. Theme carrier logo icon/name.
Thanks
oh yes I'm running cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip from here: download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd&type=stable

So after having my new Galaxy Note 2 device for a few weeks, I have found the answer to most of my own questions.
1. GMD Gesture Control (****ing fantastic applications that allows for your own and some build in on screen gestures. You can map them to certain apps or built in functions).
2. Simplistic Framework. (Allows you to remap hardware buttons, tweak and edit general UI preferences and settings.
3. Omega Rom (Custom Rom with lots of built in goodies and loads of toggles.
In case anyone else is looking, those are my top 3 suggestions.
A few launchers from the market do these functions also
Download Apex launcher or Nova Launcher for ICS and up. Go Laucher also have that features you're looking for,.
Hello everyone,
I am new to modifying stock launchers.
(that means I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with rom's / rooting / xposed framework, etc)
For the last few days I have been looking for a way to get a bigger grid size for my Stock Xperia Launcher.
I don't want to use a 3rd party launcher.
In the past I have modifying my Samsung phones (using 3rd party launchers like TSF Shell / Nova Launcher / Widgetlocker, UCCW, Missed it!, etc).
Now I have my Sony Xperia Z1 for 2 months. I used Nova Launcher + Widgetlocker. Then yesterday my WiFi didn't had internet access anymore. So I contacted Sony and I had to reset my phone.
So I start from a new fresh installation now. I was impressed with what Sony had done with Xperia Launcher within these 2 months, I decided I want to use this launcher (no 3rd party launchers)
So now I want to use my Stock Launcher and be able to get a bigger grid size and I want my dock to have 7 instead of 5 icons.
I did some research but I found it confusing so now I need help
On XDA forums I see people talking about using Xposed framework.
Can someone explain me step to step how to used this Xposed framework?
I saw the video that XDA developers made regarding Xposed framework. Which is very clear to me
But how do you implant modules? Where you find these modules?
I just need a bigger Grid size and I want a 7 icon dock, and that is it. My phone I use in Portrait mode mostly, only when Facebooking / Surfing internet / Watching movies I will use Landscape mode.
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it later on today when I reach home, I am at work now.
1 More question:
When I try this out, will my live Xperia wallpaper still work, in both Lock Screen + Home Screen?
( I am using the live wallpaper that comes standard with the stock Xperia, named Xperia. I use this wallpaper in both Lock Screen + Home Screen )
That is the one with the waves that changes color after lots of side scrolling )

Hi. Not sure if I'm posting in the right place... but here:
I've just paid ~$21 for the Go Locker VIP Privilege so I can download unlimited themes but I am very disappointed by the fact that we can't change themes' wallpapers. It doesn't fit at all with the look of my (themed) launcher.
I have replaced the wallpaper files for my own using the WinRar method and it worked. But as soon as I restart the phone, the modded theme is gone and Go Locker set back the default one.
Theme icon is still on the home screen but it says it's not installed.
Is there a way around this? Signature problem? N00b here. Got my S5 6 days ago, had an old flip cellphone (and a pager!) before.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the home button icon, i.e rather than a picture of a little house, have say a car, or writing like "Xperia", or anything else?
Also, is it possible to just change the app icons, rather than having a launcher to change the whole home screen like Nova Launcher. I like the way I have arranged my apps and widgets etc, and I use my own pictures for backgrounds, I would just like to use different icons for the apps?
Thanks - I am new to the forum so apologies - I am not a developer, have not rooted my phone and don't know what to do with apk ?

O.K, let's simplify this...
Root device and install xposed framework.
Install Xperia xposed module and you'll be able to change home button/icon.
Install Unicon, xposed module to change apps icons.
Download themes from market (for ADW launcher) and use those themes icons.
- You'll get it once you open unicon -
There are other ways to change app icons and home button, decompiling apk and change ongs (assets) in xxhdpi folder but without root there's no chance to do that...
And yeah...you are in wrong section buddy..
Use Q&A for this types if threads.
You can change the home/back etc. buttons by changing your xperia specific theme in the appearance section in your settings. I personally have applied an Android L theme and have the official 5.0 square, triangle and circle.
As for the icons, I don't think so, unless you're willing to install a custom launcher. I recommend nova, you can categorize your apps just as efficiently if not more with the Prime version.
This is the way to go if you don't want to root your device as the upper poster suggested.
The best way is changing theme apperance.
There's an app on the Play Store called Softkeyz which dies exactly that.

"unicon" app (xposed module) can change app icons in xperia home launcher. download any icon pack and apply it
``
you can change it by rooting your phone , and xposed installed . then you use module 'xStana'{Recommended} or 'XPERIA/AOSP NavBar Button' for the softkey , you can change what you like .
Last year I was able to change the icons on stock touchwiz launcher on my S10 ( which I already sold ) using icon packs from playstore.
I've actually forgotten where the tutorial for that process is and have used google to search but not having any luck. If I'm not mistaken, it was from a xda thread.
If somebody knows or any other way of installing icon packs without using 3rd party launcher, your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
wat?! One UI can change icon without 3rd party launcher
There are icon packs in the Galaxy Store. You enter the Galaxy store, on the bottom menu bar select My Galaxy and there you have all the icon packs. Like hundreds of icon packs.

Yep. Are you a first time samsung user?
Found what I was looking for, but unfortunately it looks like support is only up to Android 9 which the S10 came with.
Update: Still works with Android 10 and as far as I can tell will support the upcoming Android 11 according to the devs. But can't make it work on mine because I'm enrolled with Google's Advance Protection.
Try searching hex installer in the play store. It lets you customize icon shapes and what not and existing themes as well from the Galaxy store - all while using the stock launcher. I'm using hex with the pixelize theme and it's working great! Hope this helps!

It's all you need.
Choose theme (the native high contrast ones work well)>choose Galaxy store icon pack>pick a wallpaper you like.
Use the Galaxy store Goodlock family of apps including One handed Operation plus for even more customization options.
No 3rd party launcher needed... or even desirable. One UI is an excellent launcher.
