Yes sir... Desktop Visualizer
It allows you to put icons on your Sd card and set them for any application you want... i believe there is also icon packs you can use for it
I got the ics theme for adw and long pressed and edited and that worked also.

You can always go the longer route, if you want to change the icon throughout the entire rom. I use root explorer, extract the apk, replace the icon png, zip file, rename as apk, move back into system/apps. Reboot. I only do this on Sense so that I can still have the notification bubbles on stock apps (msgs, phone, task, etc)

its a brilliant app, however there is one feature i still cannot figure out/dont know if its possible. I like the feature that allows you to place shortcuts in the notification menu. pretty basic. but everytime i do, the ugly ass default icon shows up in the bar, even if i apply a default/custom icon to the app.
does anyone know how to change the notification bar icon for those shortcuts?
What launcher are you using? I'm using launcher pro and have two folder organizer links on my dock, one for my android tools and another for internet stuff. The launcher lets you customize the icons for anything in the dock by long pressing on the icon/app. Give it a try.

im actually running bar control, i have been for quite a while, i just really want to be able to set my own icons. i mean folder organizer allows you to associate custom icons to apps, but for some reason it doesnt resize the icons to fit the notification bar
Which do you use? I can't find one that will let me back it up so I don't have to redo it every time I flash a different ROM.
I like the TW contact widget, and tried to get it from a thread in the Themes and Apps section. Downloaded and went to install .apk and got "Application not installed". Know of anything similar?
Which methods do you all use for accessing your most frequent contacts in a one-click type way?
The People widget in LauncherPro Plus. Its awesome, and people theme it all the time, along with the other Widgets that come with LPP.
You can't install a system apk the normal way. You gotta push it to the system/app and then set the right permissions for it.

I totally agree. All of the LPP widgets are cool, in my opinion. Then I also love how you can totally customize them, as shown in this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427. Makes my homescreen very nice and consistent.
if you use a launcher (not lpp) that supports scrollable widgets, check out colorize widgets in the market..or signals modded colorize widgets in android development: themes/apps
Here is a link to the TW launcher and widgets:

Thats what I did, I prefer TW actually. I know it sounds crazy.
Is there a way to put app icons from the app drawer to a folder to the app drawer itself? I tried using several homescreen replacements but i really like how the SE default feels, feels premium! Thanks in advance

I hardly understood what you said and concluded that you want to set icons for folder like the icons in app drawer are
for that you can use any of these two softwares one is free other is paid app
You can change icons of software by using first and by using second link you can change icon of folders ...
To change icon of software get -
Desktop VisualizeR
To change icon of folder get -
Folder Organizer Paid
Folder Organizer Free
Else get this light weight launcher and its really very fast responcive and low memory consumter...
360 launcher
I hope it will help you....

I'm using MeanROM, but I prefer an AOSP style lockscreen. Can anybody tell how to get, or make, one without using a non-Sense launcher?
Widget locker out of the market
Go locker/launcher is worth looking into as well
Use your root file browser and go to system, app, rename HTC lockscreen (add .bak to it so you can go back to it if you want later) reboot, and you'll have stock ics lockscreen. You just won't have any of the sense features, like seeing who's calling, or answering without unlocking first. Give it a shot, you can always restore sense lockscreen if it's not what you wanted.

No problem. I found it by mistake, I downloaded holo locker and was trying to get rid of sense. But for some reason holo locker wouldn't stay and the stock ICS lock screen kept coming up Instead. So I just got rid of holo locker.

Delete that and all the idlescreen files if you wanna be thorough. You can always pull them later from the rom zip and reinstall them.
Its been a while since i wanted to share this with everyone in the razr community and now that i finally got time i am sharing this razr I's launcher widgets with everyone.
This is the fastest and smoothest stock launcher I have ever seen and probably is one of the best out there
Devs can use this launcher for their roms

If you have root then put it in system/app
Then it will never show any problems

Copy the Weather and Circle Widget into System/Apps and set permissions. Install the Launcher like an usual app and profit.

I did put it there but I dont know how to set permissions? -_-

Use an root explorer. All of them got an option to set permissions. Just longpress on the App and set them like on the screen. You maybe have to reboot after that to see the Widget in Drawer.
BTW: Make an backup of the OG weather.apk

Edit: works now, I had to overinstall homescreen with permissions. Thanks.

You need unpack homescreen.apk and take libs folder files then copy this files to lib folder in your system then weather widget work forever, otherwise you need reinstall homescreen after each reboot.
By the way, there is full pack with weather and quickview http://d-h.st/u29
thanks
Nearly the best launcher with nice Widgets, but I'm missing the Option to modify Desktops columns and rows count

It's like that on all JB roms, there's an image mismatch since the launcher is from ICS. You'll have to wait for someone to get the JB launcher ported.
It works very well.
But when I restart my phone, launcher works fine but there is " a problem loading widget". How to solve this?
The proper procedure to all having problems is this :
Follow this to install on new JB leak:
RAZR M Laucher:
- Copy launcher to system/app
- Set permission to RW-R-R
- Tap on the the file just copied and do a double installation to overwrite system app
- Make a copy of homescreen.apk
- Change the .apk extension to .zip
- Extract using winrar or winzip
- Locate the files 'libnative_renderer.so' & 'libtexture_mem.so' inside the folder 'armeabi' under lib folder
- Copy both files to system\lib folder and overwrite any existing files and set permissions rw r r
- REBOOT
- Install 3d circles and weather in any order
Circle Widget 3D:
- Install as normal app
Weather:
- Install as normal app
Follow these directions and everything will work just fine!
