Is there any way to save my ADW Launcher EX ''preset''?
I mean.. I customized it, and now I want to save it because I want to try other icons, is there a way to save it like a preset?

Menu-->ADW Settings-->Backup and restore-->backup desktop configuration.
Ur current settings will be saved. You can restore it later by using the same path.

just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...
Thanks In advance!
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.
You can use better cut... Edit any shortcut...

or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

Longpress on home screen then select shortcuts bettercuts but i couldn't find the option for a folder. Ended up downloading Apps Organizer and was able to to make a folder and change the icon on it.
ok I did it using bettercut through astro... so I guess it might not be supproted I just used a back door..
I have always liked using go launcher but I recently started using sense instead. I love the weather lock screen. The only problem I am having is that I don't know anyway to save my configuration. So if I change ROM's I have to reconfigure all of my screens the way I like them. Is there a way to back up the way I have sense set up? If anyone knows how to do that I would be so excited to learn. Thanks for any help.

Just do a full nandroid backup with ROM Manager... It will save everything and you can revert right back to where you were... Restore it after playing with ROMS
I use Titanium Backup, and it will back up your Sense homescreen settings (widget/icon layouts and such) under "[WALLPAPER/SETTINGS] Settings 2.2.1." TB is an EXTREMELY helpful app, especially if you plan on doing a lot of flashing. It will let you easily backup and restore all apps, app data, messages, settings, and all of that other fun stuff. Definitely worth the $5 for Pro.
My backuppro works well for what you are describing.
Thanks. I have TB pro. I just didn't realize that it would save my screen configuration like that. Thanks for the help.

No prob!
I am running the Com Rom 2.1. I currently have the dark alien version theme installed. I am trying to install the DarkAliens Icon.zip. I just found out that I need a launcher to change the icons. Which launcher do you recommend? Want something that looks good and runs smoothly.
I personally like Go Launcher ex. It is really nice easy to customize and has a very managable app drawer.
Ok awesome. Downloaded it. And i like how it is formed. Final question, i have the icons zip on my sd card. is there a certain folder i should put it in? because i open up preferences on the launcher and go to dock settings and that icon selection isnt there? Any suggestions?

I don't know about the zip file part but if you long press on one of the dock items "Choose icon" is one of the choices. From there I'm not sure if it will automatically find your custom ones or if they need to be unzipped somewhere specific. I think you have the option of using a file manager program to find them, wherever they may be.
I would try unzipping the icons into a folder on your sdcard.
Does it do batch install without all the ok's? Its really annoying..
Also..for miui users.. is there a way to backup/restore screen layouts with the widgets?

Yes. Don't think it can restore widgets though.
You can save screen layouts in 3rd party launchers (ie GoLauncher, LPP, etc)

You have to buy the paid version.
I've been pretty much flashing "a rom a day" and re aligning my pages and widgets is getting rather annoying. I wonder if there is an app that would backup the desktop layout for this rom. So far it looks like I'll be sticking with InfectedRom.
2nd Question: How do I change the default caller ID picture?
thanks
Adw ex has a backup desktop option. I use it all the time when I flash roms.

To change the picture go to People(app)>[person name]>Menu button>Edit Contact>
Then you will see on the contact's picture icon at the top left of the edit screen there is a small arrow next to the picture. Press on the picture and a "select contact photo" window will pop up, with the choices to set the contact picture from Gallery, Camera, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Did you have any luck finding an app that will backup your page settings, for example widgets, shortcuts, etc..

Yes, same here. I have a paid copy of TiBu, but don't see anything called Backup Desktop Layout, or anything like that.
EDIT:
Found the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it did backup my pages and icons, but not widgets. Can't backup TouchWiz widgets at all I am seeing. A slight annoyance, but I'll get over it and check out launchers. From what I have read, replacing your default stock launch does not put another layer over the UI. It replaces it! So, it should not cost extra memory, battery, etc..
You can also use Nova Launcher (Prime), which imports the layout of your own launcher, and then you can back it up.
Still the best launcher imo.
Thanks, I am checking out the free version now. And also that ADW one as well.
I did find out that I can backup the TouchWiz Home system app in TiBu and it will restore the pages and icons, but not the widgets.
+1 on Nova Launcher Prime
backs up widgets too

Without prime, u can't back up ?
I bought nova prime on sale and use nova now, without knowing the limitations
Yes, the backup, restore is superb
The importing from other launchers too
And widget restorations
And lastly, decent customization
