For default icon, i have no idea because i liked CM9 icon more than sense icon. But for sync contact images/details with facebook, you can use friendcaster and sync your contact. And maybe you might need to edit your phone contact to join them with friendcaster contact.
Friendcaster does the same thing that FacebookForHTCSense did in stock ROMs.
For Icons, you can change icons in drawer and home with some launchers ( I think ADW and also GoLauncher ). With Trebuched and Apex this isn't supported. You can download the Icons ( .png I think ) here -----> [http://www.deviantart.com/download/157227062/New_HTC_Sense_UI_2_1_Icons_by_wwalczyszyn.zip]
You could try with Ninjamorph ( in Play Store ). It says that can change apps icon. I've never tried it, and I can't try it right now ( Bricked Legend... ).
grate thx for answering ! I'll try to folow your guides
EDIT: One more question I'm during root' my legend and i'm wondering if is it posible to instal launcher Pro insted of ADW ? (BTW is ADW defoult launcher in CM9 as it was in CM6 series?). If you have instaled CM9 could you tell me how is it working (i know there is topic for it but searching post like "wow sped incresed ~50% batery life ~30% is hard to do)

No, default launcher for CM9 is Trebuchet which only work on ICS. From my opinion, this launcher is better than ADW and LP. But if you want, you can find other launcher for ICS in google play(Apex, Nova, etc).
i didn't know thet they aren't compatible with ICS thx for makeing me know it! as i said i was just wondering if is it possible and thx for answering

No, ADW an LP both are compatible with ICS. You still can use it as your default launcher if you want. Its just not installed by default because CM9 is using Trebuchet launcher.

Hi
I am currently running VR12 with flykernel10a and I have to say it is a very stable system and battery life is amazing using the suggested settings. I am considering giving launcherpro a go. I like the idea of being able to customize the homescreen more. The question I have is for those people who have launcherpro installed over VR12. Is it as quick or quicker/slower than rosie ?
How would I go about installing launcher pro over rosie ? Will Rosie still be running in the background ? If I do decide to go with launcherpro, would it be better to remove rosie completely ? (How would I go about this ?)
Any feedback is appreciated,
Riyaz

It should be faster, as rosie is pretty slow. If you want to remove rosie, you might want to look at SuperHero 2 as a ROM (it's slightly older now, but it's off a similar base to VR12, but uses launcher pro as the default launcher, with much of rosie removed)
If you do use it and can't get Launcher Pro to open, you might need to install the newer apk of Launcher Pro (www.launcherpro.com) via adb to get it working (since Launcher Pro expires due to being a beta, with free updates available via market or that website)
Is there a way for me to remove rosie on VR12 and exchange for launcherpro without changing the ROM ?

Well, you could remove Rosie.apk and add Launcher Pro's apk, but nandroid first in case it breaks
Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!
Hi anyone who reads this, im currently wondering whats the best home launcher that people are using. i know there are alot which have ups and downs but i feel there is not one truely dominant launcher i have heard of. So, if you would like to share your experience, good or bad, of home launchers id love to hear your views
BTW its not a place just to slag off anyones hard work making a launcher ect, id just like to hear other peoples views
Thanks

thanks for the reply
ADW launcher or go launcher.
I don't like se launcher at all. The bottom bar is far too fat and it has no customizability
Mostly agreed, but i like the widget overview
it would be adw but you cant add the arc photo widget. so i think it be the se 2.3.4

X10 HACK
Stock 2.3.4
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
launcher pro because
1) I like the scrolling calendar and facebook widgets (paid version only)
2) I like the ability to hide certain apps from the app folder
3) its very stable for me
I'm interested to see what features other launches have over it though as development on launcher pro seems to have slowed somewhat.
My faves are stock 2.3.4 and LP.
However i prefer LP for all it's themed HD icons and tweaks available.
Is there a way to theme icons for stock 2.3.4 ?
+1
I really can't live without the scrolling calendar i LPP. I've tried another scrolling calendar that worked on stock SE 2.3.4. But it was to ugly...
SE Stock have two major features I miss...
- 4x4 icons (I want 5x4)
- Can't customize shortcuts

GO launcher has a scrollable calendar i think with smooth page transitions so i liked that when i used a calendar.
Also, it has many tweaks to get it how you want, maybe an alternative to LP as it now seems that its a pretty dominant launcher
Fave Home Launcher
I've been using SPB Shell 3D for almost a year now so I would say its almost my perfect choice but I love the one from stock 2.3.4 too.
Currently, I use Launcher 7.

This question goes out to all the theme builders and rom builders and ofcourse the home pro's.
My question is simple, its there anyway possible that you can get rotation for youre homescreen and appdrawer with a launcher that is homemade?
I have not done the launcher and well i dont think the developer has the time either. Everyone wants him to put in the rotation on his rom but i only want it on the launcher cause thats the only thing i have installed atm.
I know there is launcher that supports this but i dont like them that much, launcher pro is good but i hate the appdrawer on that launcher. And Go launcher has also i bad appdrawer.
And the launcher im referring to is SPlauncher , it can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457061.
So is there anyone out there who has the free time and would like to help me if this is possible?
Thx in advance.
And once again i do not own this launcher it is made by dragon7780.
Question
At some point adw crashed on cm7 zmod because i long pressed an icon and the option to delete/edit came up as i accidently swiped it in trash ...
Clicking remove then seems to be a no no for adw itself
Now what would happen if i were to install a different launcher and delete adw?
Thnx in advance!

t would probbably work a little better..Try go launcher ex i used that home replacemnt for a very long time! its amazing!! hope this helps
And was that on a custom rom? Because i tried adw and launcher pro when my phone wasnt rooted etc so ot was just an apk ... ah home running over my SE home
But now when adw closed i didnt get the normal sony ericsson home screen but just a clean background.
I think adw is the only launcher in this rom ... hence my concern

YOu can use any home launcher on any ROM. But remember, that you must have any launcher on your rom If you closed adw and dont have any other launcher, thats why you had empty bacground.
Personally I used many launchers,but returned to default SE launcher,because it never crashed for me. You can try e.g. Zeam Launcher, its one of the fastest and doesnt have huge RAM consumption...
Firstly try to clean adw data using OS, it might help.
Go launcher works fine for me, however ADW launcher crashes sometimes.
Had been nice to find a way to remove ADW launcher tough... annoys me it is there

You can remove it simply If adw cant be uninstalled normally - use some root capable file manager (e.g. Total Commander for Android) and go into path /system/app/ Here you can find ADW launcher apk and simply delete it. Note you MUST have any other launcher already installed!
