Is there anyway to theme my photon to look exactly like ics i mean the battery icon and all im rooted but bootloader is still locked
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
well you can use nova launcher to get the ics launcher and i think rom toolbox pro will let you change things like battery icons. I did a quick google search and didnt really find any ics themes but i didnt look very hard
Do you have a link to nova launcher i think that one is only for those who are already on Ice cream sandwich

Not really. It's similar-looking, but not "just like".
I have ICS on my Nexus S sitting right next to ICS Launcher on my Photon. Appearance is similar between the two launchers, but functionality is different. There are some features of the ICS launcher that are just not going to work in Gingerbread no matter how much theming you do. The biggest obvious difference is the lack of the Google search bar on every screen. Another is the lack of the Widgets tab (in ICS Launcher there is a tab, but clicking on it opens a typical "add widget" dialog).

Is it possible to somehow port or install the stock ICS launcher on GB 2.3.7(CM 7)?

Alot of porting your best luck is to install ICS Launcher from the market

Well anyway since idk how to do this myself and there are no devs around that try that i suppose i will have to use one of the ICS-like launchers.
I consider this thread closed.
Well,ics launchers on google play are well "ported" already,and if your phone is strong enough to handle ics goodies then its better just to port hole ics to that phone.BTW i really like ics theme on go launcher ex

Ye I know we have ics but touch (partially) and most of other stuff doesn't work but it boots and it's rather fast. And i know about the apps in the market and i tried them all bit i want all of ICS launcher functions. Anyway tnx for reply but as I said since there are no ports, I believe we can consider this thread closed.

You are right, check in the Android Market/Play Store (Formerly Android Market)!
Ok so just an update for future reference i found an app called Holo Launcher which is all you need from an ICS launcher for GB

If you mean the ics look no... but if you mean the customization then try go launcher theirs ics icons and its extremely customizable..

Go launcher is highly recommended. Adw is good...if you like how MIUI is set up, try SS launcher..

I did remember there was a ICS like launcher for GB called "ICS launcher" or something.
But to be honest that one s*cked.
If you are looking for a launcher replacement, go launcher worked pretty well for me when I was on GB.
I always just used a Ice Cream Sandwich theme that works with ADW and Go also I think some other lunchers too.

When I was using GB I was using GO launcher it works really well and allows you to do a lot of customizing.
Adw = apex
They have same menus and configs other than the ics features. My apex setup is exactly the same as adw when I was on gb.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I would highly recommend holo launcher. It's the only ics launcher that truly simulates the ics experience perfectly (or as perfectly as you can on gingerbread). The biggie for me was the stackable shortcuts feature. This is the only one I tried that truly got it right. Spot on. And it's super smooth too.

Could not agree more! Best that I have found. ADW is also really good... just really hard to customize. Especially with custom Icons. Here's a screen shot of Holo Launcher.
I think you should go for ADW Launcher buddy...
I use holo launcher before but ADW is so good... :good: just like some user said above its like Apex launcher
here is my GALAXY Ace Plus with ADW launcher

Anyone still using this? I am, but haven't seen an update in a loooong time. Is apex o trebuchet better than adw?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk
I have ADW EX but I haven't used it in months. It's easy to use and before I had the Amaze I used to use it on my previous phone. It was a nice launcher but now it seems like a hog. Wish I can get my money back..lol
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
Adw is quick and light on resources, but apex launcher pro is where its at nowadays! Plus I always felt like adw ran like crap on my HTC phones, always freezing and force closing. Go with Nova or Apex for ICS
I always use ADW before my amaze and for a little while after getting so I could use the ICS theme. Never had any problems with ADWEX, but since the ICS update I use Trebuchet just cuz I like how simple it is.

GO and ADW (and launcherpro before dev bailed ship) are the best for GB. If you are gonna be on ics, might as well use an ics launcher.

Indeed. I tried both Apex and Trebuchet, and I can say that I preferred Apex. It's imply got more options.
Not really the answer I was hoping for.. Is go launcher not fully ICS implemented?.. are all the functions options & capabilities not working or something?
I really interested in a clear & detailed answer as im about to do the ics update soff etc

For my part I'm on stock sense I find it's really not bad compared to LG or Motorola stock launchers. I still prefer the aosp one mostly because it's open source. I Love open source.

I don't troll, lol. I just gave my opinion that I like that one, . There was one of the guys/girls testing AOSP files on sense, they pulled them from the AOSP roms for the sensation, most seemed to work fine, so you could probably grab the AOSP launcher from that and give it a try, should work since I doubt it's name rosie.

+1 for apex. used to use go launcher but found apex to be more minimalistic, smoother, and simpler.
Usually ICS stock... Works well enough, but still a battery hog.
Tried Apex, but didn't see a huge diffrence fron Go Launcher. I go back and forth, but usually stick with Sense.

Out if all the launchers I've tried on this phone and previous phones. My favorite was ADW EX. Since owning the Amaze I can't steer away from Sense. I like the widgets and things. I know its just personal preference but everytime I use other launchers I can't set up my screens like I do with Sense. Once we have AOSP or any CM then I will probably change it up. But until then I'm sticking with Sense

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.
