So after having the Vibrant since the day it was available, I'm finally giving TouchWiz a try upon install of Bionix 1.8. It doesn't seem to be slapping me in the face but is there no way, even usinig third-party apps, to edit the icons for the apps JUST in the dock? Or any morphs available that do this? (compatible with 1.8 of course). I did my searching and couldn't really find anything so I'm sorry if it's been asked. Even went through the Home Screen thread to see if any users had done so and just saw a bunch of launcherpro setups haha.
EDIT: Also, what if I wanted to do it myself? Any direction would be appreciated.

Hey guys,
I was playing around with the phone last week, downloading some icons for launcher pro and such, trying to get rid of the HTC lockscreen which I hate.. for some reason launcher Pro would not launch anymore and doesn't show in the app drawer. When I use home switcher, it activates it, but setting it to defaults results in crashes.
I got annoyed looking to see if cyanogen is already working with the 3d evo, and while I see their site says they do, I can't see the files...? I rooted my HTC Hero in the past, and even though I don't remember the full process, I was very happy at the end. I want to do that the same for this phone.
Ok, so here comes my general questions:
* cyanogen - is there a stable one for the 3D evo, or not yet?
* Launcher Pro - is anyone familiar with this issue, and will rooting the phone help?
* Minimalism - I want to change the looks of icons on my phone (not just the launcher shortcuts, but the actual icon in the drawer). I saw some app for that somewhere but I can't remember what it is.. anyone? Also, if possible, I would like to change the looks of the widgets.. again, read somewhere it's possible, but how complicated / time consuming is it?
* lockscreen - don't want it, I hate that freakin' ring, I just want a lock pattern or code. What can I do about it, and if I root my phone, does it go away?
Roms - besides cyanogen, which I liked a lot on my old phone, are there new Roms (especially ones with a minimal feel to them) that are stable and good? I really don't need anything car related (I live in the city) or sports related. I know this is getting very specific, but assuming there are others like me out there, what do you use? I'm just looking for a direction with these last remarks.
Ok, as always, thanks a lot!
there is this button that we sometimes suggest to people looking for answers... it is trainglular, it is flawless, it is soothing, clickable, typable... like a lion standing over it's captured prey it lurks above threads, taunting all who ignore it's strength.

Moving to Q&A
CM7 is still in alpha for the Evo 3D, 4G and 3D don't work, but development is still ongoing...
personally, even though I was a CM7 user when I had the Evo 4G, I gave MIUI a chance on the 3D, and I'm extremely happy, and the ROM is incredibly customizable (themes, lockscreens, fonts and icons are all easily switchable, and you can mix and match elements from different themes from within the ROM).
granted, there's no 4G or 3D on MIUI either, so if you want to use these features, your only option right now is a Sense ROM.
I am probably one of like 10 people that miss my titanium launcher from WM, but I thought I would throw this out there anyway.
I am looking for a launcher with the same functionality. I found the Faded / Zune launcher, but it is exceptionally basic and doesn't allow for the exact functionality that I miss from my old phone.
So, I was wondering if anyone had seen an alternative or even a way to skin an existing launcher to work like the old titanium from WM. (up down, language based, each item can have the option of sliding left / right to get to other options).
I know some people will wonder why I would want something like this, so here is my explanation. I have used a ton of different launchers over the years and have always come back to titanium whenever I wanted something practical. I also just like the idea of being able to switch between launchers that actually have a very different look and feel.
Thanks in advance.
Single bump to see if anyone can help me out.
Won't bump again.
Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone, new guy here.
I hope I'm in the right place. Yesterday after a couple of days debating I went with the RUU path. I updated my HTC One X (att) to JB thinking it was the best way to avoid any issues. Well I must say I'm happy to see improvements with Sense but my issues lay with Launchers. Previously I used Next Launcher (I had very simple backgrounds and themes, I only preferred it for the freedom it gave me with icon and widget placement. Maybe a few other perks). Anyhow, now that I've updated to JB these launchers no longer work properly. I've tried Nova, Next and Go EX. None of them apply completely. One example would be Next, I install a theme, go to settings to apply it and it says "preview cannot be found" (or something like that). It does apply to some degree, I can change the dock icons to the themes design but only a few of them. All in all, it seems as if the theme gets half of it right. I also tried to use Go SMS, and it also wont apply completely.
So I hope this isn't all child's play, other forums chewed me up and said these are toys and lame and all that stuff... If anyone has any ideas or solutions it would be greatly appreciated. As of now it seems as if I am going back to Sense for the time being.
I'm also considering rooting. I really just don't like the phones stock look. So if this is a good solution, let me know.
Thanks, The New Guy.
I've been tryng for days to get the Razr M launcher, apps & circles widget set up on my original Razr running JB. I have seen several posts on how to do this, but all of the guides seem to be outdated for ICS. I have found downloads of what claim to be the proper launcher, with a supposedly whitish background for the google bar, but when I actually try to get it set up, it shows up clear like the old one. Also, things like the messaging.apk and the quickview.apk just flat out fail to install no matter what. I'm just having all sorts of crazy problems. I've been through 3 full data wipes, and just have no idea where to go from here. Anyone have a current, JB compatible, guide on how to do this the right way? I'm really frustrated

Thanks for this. It seems to have worked. One question though, instead of the nice, new Google search bar at the top with the microphone, I get the old one that has 2 Google logos, and it can't be removed. Any reason for that? Also, the Quickview never seems to work, no matter what notifications I get, there is never a badge over any apps for the count. I would really like to fix those two things. Thanks

circles widget with nova launcher
Is there anyway to run circles widget on nova launcher? I know moto cracked down on sites hosting the files
I would have much rather asked this in the ViperDNA thread, but I cannot post there, being a new XDA user.
I really like ViperDNA, however I want to reduce the number of home screens on the desktop.
(I know, you actually only have one home screen.. There's just no better way to say it..)
Please let me know if you know the AOSP Launcher name/version that ViperDNA uses, or how to reduce the number of Home screens,
I played with it for a couple hours and I couldn't figure it out anyway, I used the XDA search and google as well, never finding any real info on it.
Thanks for the help!
