Hello everyone. I just did the whole shabang tonight (Pushed SBF 1.2.6 to revert from OTA in order to root, then ran root retainer, OTA update, and installed CWM and finally Gingerblur 1.1) and I am loving it so far however I miss one thing from my old set up using Launcher Pro. I want to be able to fit the Power widget, Fancy Widget (for clock and weather) and two rows of icons on my main home screen. In order to do this, I need to change the number of icon rows to 5 from the default 4. This is very simple using Launcher Pro however I see no option to do so using Gingerblur's gingerbread launcher. Any way of doing this without installing Launcher Pro? I will if I have to however I kind of like the stock look of the Gingerbread launcher. Thanks in advance!

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.

Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
Hi guys,I recently tried one version of widget locker but with no good results,for example,when I unlock the screen it is covered by "grey rectangles" until I move the page. Is there any solution for that?
I also have a problem with widget locker. When i set it, it doesnt replace my lockscreen.
I have the wildfire with stock 2.2
I have to use the stock lockscreen to get to widget locker lockscreen...
I think the problem is in sense rom. I use rom without sense, and widgetlocker work great.
The "grey rectangles" are the "HTC Weather Animations", you can turn them off in Settings (if your weather is rainy, then you see rain drops & a windshield wiper). I agree they are a pain! Without them WL works great on my WF (not rooted, stock 2.2 ROM)
Thanks,but how can I download other kind of lockscreens?In the thread of themes there are lots of particular lockscreens that I didn't find in widgetLocker,are they using a custom theme with modified lockscreens or do they take those from any site?
You make your own lockscreen with whatever widgets you like - same as a Home screen.
You get a choice of several unlock slider styles, or you can put 'Unlock' on a custom slider. Then you make up the screen with Widgets & Sliders as you like. Only limitation I have found is that you can't put any of the HTC Sense Widgets on the lockscreen

Use adb to pull the app from the phone, replace the original .png's with the ones from the thread, or make your own, and replace then back into the apk, then push it back into your phone.
UNINSTALL it first before you push it.
Ok,got it,but need I to root the phone to run adb?I'm asking 'cause I've original froyo and I can't root my WF!
if use buildin sense launcher it got only 6 icons deducted clock space
Im wondering if there are any application or any method can make desktop icon smaller while using sense UI as launcher, currently i can only use other custom launcher to make it smaller, cause i want to put more app on desktop, but the problem is so many wiget are combined with sense UI, so if i use other launcher instead of genuine stock launcher those wiget will be extincted
Hi,
you can add app icons to other homescreens, or you can add a folder to youz homescreen and add apps to the folder.
Hi,
i just stumbled upon multicon, which lets you place 4 icons in the place of which now is 1 icon. Have a look at it:

How to change icons in app drawer without any launcher i am using x10 MP and ROM CM7 2.1.7, also please give some links for transparent themes like CRYSTAL....
The only way to change the icons in the app drawer is to theme each individual app and change the relevant .png file. It's a bit tedious and really only works on system apps.
I'm not sure that's actually what you want to do since you mention not having any launcher. The launcher is the app that gives you the app drawer. If you haven't got one on your phone, the only way you can run any apps is by connecting is by using a PC interface.
I'm guess what you want to do is the change the appearance of the icons on the home screen of the stock SE launcher. That's the screen with the four selectable areas in each corner. If that's what you're after then you're out of luck. Only third-party launchers (like ADW, Go, Zeam, etc) offer the ability to theme the icons on the home screen.
Transparent status bar
yes i better move to MIUI launcher....im using CM7...i have heard many things about making status bar transparent....is there any simple way to patch this....
That depends what you mean by simple..lol
In CM7 there may be an option in the settings app to do that. I don't know if there is or not as I'm using a CM7 port.
Otherwise, you need to modify the statusbar_background.9.png file inside the SystemUI.apk. Change that to transparent, but make sure not to change the pixel thick border or you'll get all sorts of problems, and that will do it.
This also depends on your launcher as some just won't accept a transparent statusbar at all.
LOL
i liked the miui launcher....but now i notice there is no miui launcher for CM7....and for the transparent status bar....let it go....something new will come up im enough happy with the CM7 rom itself....i removed all built in themes...no use for the colours inside just the desktop itself is lovely with widgets and APW....thanks for everything bro
You can get a semi-transparent status bar in Flame.GDX ICS ROM. As for a launcher? Id recommend 360 Launcher.

You have to install theme manager.Search google Theme Manager t-mobile flash download zip,flash through CWM and install every APK theme file you want!
I am currently running the stock sense 2.1 Rom rooted, but I would like to edit the icons through Desktop Visualizer. I have figured out have to accomplish this, but I have run into another problem at the end. I change the icons for "messages" and "mail" on my desktop, but when a new message or new mail comes in, the new icons do not show that there are new items (Like the stock ones do by using a superscript "1") Is there any way to make this work without installing a home launcher?
