I was wondering if replacing neutrino 2.7 launcher (which is go launcher) was as easy as removing the system launcher.apk and putting another launcher renamed to that.
I wanted to try this as a default launcher:

EDIT: I was also wondering, if someone knew how to change the default lock screen as well, or how to change the theme all together, since my launcherpro wasn't working to change the theme for some reason (after flashing the theme changer enabler)
Just download another launcher, install it, and select to use it as default.
Get Widgetlocker from the market to change lockscreen.

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.
That's the icon on the right little bar on the home page. I also added some Widgets like picture frames but now can't get them to delete.
Switch to another launcher, like Launcher Pro. This will allow you to customize the home screen and dock with whatever icons you like. If you upgrade to the paid version you can resize the widgets as well.
With the Widgets I wish I knew how to delete them. They don't seem to call up the trashcan when you grab them.
Not too sure about that, I didn't use the stock android launcher for long enough to try that. Like I said, I recommend Launcher Pro. You can also try ADW or Zeam. Although Zeam is not longer being worked on.
x2 on Launcher Pro. The only reason why I don't add that by default is that I think it should be the user's option. Some like LP, some like ADW. So, I add a stock Goggle Launcher just you have a basic Launcher until you replace it.
I love MIUI. I love the look of the menus, I love the lockscreen, I love the statusbar, I love the browser, the music app. I just don't like the launcher. So I use Go Launcher Ex.
But I also want to change the icons. I want MIUI to use the icons that are in the .apk files, the default icons. Now MIUI uses their own themed icons, and a square around non-themed icons. I just want ALL icons to look like they look on a normal android gingerbread phone. No squares, no theme.
I've searched a lot on the internet. So far, it looks like this is the best way to do what I want:
- Download a MIUI theme (.mtz) that uses "default" gingerbread icons, and apply only the icons of that theme in the theme manager. I found a theme called "Android 2.3" (you can find it by typing in "android" in the theme manager - online themes). And hurray, it works! But only in the MIUI launcher! For some strange reason Go Launcher Ex decided to keep the square MIUI icons.
So what now? How can I change the MIUI square icons to the default gingerbread icons? How can I tell MIUI to just use the icons in the .apk files, and not their own themed icons? I'm sure it's possible, right?
Ahhhhhhh MIUI, my favorite rom. I've noticed the same thing....once you're themed, how do you go back? Default theme used to work but its lost its defaultyness. I found that "black ice 2.3" theme in the online theme section in your settings is pretty ****in close....give it a shot

Is there a way to force ADW to use the default system icons? I'm using MIUI and I have my own icon pack made for MIUI (a .mtz theme), which is based off the Edius HD icons (which are not yet available as an ADW.EX icon theme). All of the other launchers use the system icons from my MIUI theme (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro) but ADW.EX uses it's own set, and there is no option to use the "default" ones...
I'd really need a solution for this, because I don't want to manually port all 500 of the icons over to ADW.EX, since it's icon notation is a bit different... (i.e. com.facebook.katana.png -> com_facebook_katana_loginactivity.png)
I was literally just wondering the exact same thong! Let me know if you find anything?
I have a new android phone. I really want to get rid of the horrible stock launcher however I cannot. In application management when I find this piece of stock launcher the clear defaults is grayed out (I am 100% sure this is the launcher). Default management apps show this launcher as the default but again 'clear default' is grayed out. Opening Nova launcher and going into the nova settings and clicking 'set as default launcher' sends me back to stock launcher and has not set the default launcher. At this point I am getting more interested in whether my phone blends or not.
I have tried a bunch of launchers and still I can't set any of them as my default. If they try to set themselves as the default launcher while in them it just quits back to stock launcher. In an application default chooser app that should show the launchers I could be able to use it only had the stock launcher and I cannot unset it, for all other apps it works just fine.
After some testing it looks like the phone does not recognize any launchers (other than stock) and treats them as if they are any other app.
