[Q]::ADW Launcher Custom Icons::

Just curios where is a good place to find custom icons as i have seen people use apple like icons for there apps
if anyone knows just let me know please and thanks!
You can get them from all over. Have a browse of Themes and Apps and see where others have got them from.
Just search ADW launcher at the marketplace and you'll find lots of custom icons for this launcher. Some are free, some you need to pay.

[Q] CyanogenMod7 - GingerBread NIGHTLY widget issue

I flashed to the rom found on this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430
... a couple hours ago and love it, the customizations are awesome and I have been so caught up in the new features that i haven't even re-downloaded my apps yet. Great rom so far but i have a small problem.
I cannot use downloaded widgets or HTC widgets, i don't know if its the LauncherPro app or not because i haven't checked because I am unsure if these roms require home replacements to run properly (thats another question of mine, can I turn off ADW or Launcher Pro while running this rom?) but if anyone knows how to use downloaded widgets with this rom i would appreciate it if you could let me know.
Thanks in Advance
I found out that widgets only work if they are installed on internal memory, so if you download widgets or apps that give widgets you must leave them or move them to internal memory or else the widgets will not show up in the home replacement program.

HTC widgets are for Sense based ROMs. They will not work on CM Roms. Widgets that are found in the market can be installed and used though. As far as LauncherPro or ADW... it's all a matter of what works best for you. I personally use ADW EX. Others love LauncherPro. Some also like Go Launcher and Zeam Launcher is also getting more popular from what I hear. Any of those can be installed from the Market and is you go with LauncherPro Plus it has Sense-like widgets that come with it. You have to purchase the plaus version for those widgets though.
I have a lot of free apps and need to go in and "pro" all of them, i used adw for a while and one thing i miss is the uninstall option when you long press an app on the homescreen but launcher pro came native with this rom so im going to leave it and just buy the pro version i think.
I mentioned that this rom does not support HTC widgets because of launcher pro always running, i found a fix. Beautiful widgets is one way, it is basically a HTC widget replacement but i just found a post on this site about widgets too that was extremely helpful in getting the widgets i want, here it is.

Hope you guys find it as useful as me.

[Q] Is there a widget removal app?

I've been using Zeam 2.8.8 as my desktop launcher and think it's great for the Nook Touch, simple, fast. I am having a problem when trying to remove large widgets, i.e 4x2, 2x3. I long press the widget and drag it to the trash can, I'm not that stupid, but when it's in the right spot the widget and trash can are supposed to both turn red. Problem is on a grayscale like Nook there is no visiable change in color. Is there an app I can use to remove the widget? I've been looking for an app the past three days but not lucky. I also am using ES File manager which allow sys access. Is the widget listed somewhere in the system files so I can delete it?
Please don't suggest I update to a new OS, it's not possible. The Nook Touch runs on Android 2.1. While people are cooking custom ROMS nothing's out yet.
Maybe you should just try a different launcher
I like GO-Launcher, much better than my original Sense 3.0 for example..

The widget related data is specific to launcher so you can either try new popular launchers like GO launcher, launcher pro, ADW launcher which are prettu stable and user friendly.
Or else if you want to stick to your older launcher then in that case you can clear data for launcher application. (Goto setting - application - manage application and search for your launcher application. Open it and clear data)
sorry I don't know how to remove specifically a single widget from launcher data. By clearing data all user defined shortcuts and widgets will be removed. (Launcher Reset)
Enjoy!!

I like Go Launcher and would use it, in fact that is the launcher included on the Nook Touch rooting file, but when looking in the app drawer the font is too big and I can't see the app name. The funny part is when looking at the recent app tab and close app tab I don't have that problem.

[Q] Ads within theme(ex Go Launcher Ex)?

Hi! I look for information on the Internet but did not find much about it.

No, I want to know is if I can put advertising in my themes for Go Launcher.

Themer alternative?

So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)
Cheers

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
