Hi devs/experts,
I am extremely excited about the S3 but my only gripe is that the icons (phone, messaging, contacts) etc look very dated.
Fortunately it's android, so we can change them (I assume).

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So can we change them without keeping everything else in the phone stock?
If there's a solution to this quickly then I will do it the first thing after I get the phone.
Thanks!
Should be in the Q&A section........as far as i know NO you can not change touchwiz icons.
maybe someone else can shed more light on this for you though.
It is possible with other launchers adw for example
moved to q & a
use something like apex or nova launcher =)

This is dependent on the launcher, and for Samsung's launcher, I don't think so.
Of course, with root explorer, all things are possible.
You can do it, and here are the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14091873&postcount=315

Hi there,
Terribly n00bish question, I am aware of this, but I couldn't find anything around.
How hard would it be to port the stock GB theme to the Arc? I love it to bits but the blue app background kinda ruins having any theme other than a blue one, and looks messier than the normal black background.
I know I'm being picky but it seems something that may go down well. Even better would be a port of the blue GB themes so you have the clean look of GB but consistency with the SE apps.
I'm pathetic at Android development so I will gladly help in any way I can, but as it is, I'm hopeless at it so doing it myself is a lost cause >.<

Did you only change that battery ?
Did you upload your framework-res.apk or another file ?
Also how did you flash it, or did you just replace the framework-res.apk in /system/app/
Questions i know, but dont really fancy a boot loop lol
Is it possible to use this to build up a stock theme or is it only certain mods that it can do?
Well...if its something I (and many people) dont like of MIUI its that there is no appdrawer.
The solution all give me its to put all the apps in a folder and use it like a drawer...but its not the solution for me.

I wonder if someone can edit the launcher1.apk to do this:
This:
Or maybe this:
I cant decompile the apk...so I cant do nothing...please help me....
As far as I know all MIUI code is closed source therefore I'm afraid it's not possible to decompile and make it work. I'm also one of those guys which miss the app drawer, that's why I've installed a different launcher (ADW).

It's evolving rapidly - another new version out today - so might be worth trying again. It works great on my HTC Desire, first open takes about about 3 seconds, after that it's instantaneous. And you can just drag and drop it onto the dock. It's what makes MIUI work for me.
I dunno if its been posted on here before or not but I thought Id let anyone know that didnt know already
The app drawer icon always annoyed me and Ive wanted something different, you can change the app drawer icon but only using ADW, might be able to do it on other launchers too, but Im not sure Ive only tried it on ADW
Simply long press the app drawer icon and you can change it from the pop up, you can also customize what it does, basically the same as you would on a phone.... dont know why I didnt think of this earlier

Sent from my SHW-M110S using XDA App
Oh wow I didnt know that. It's always bothered me as well (even tho i usually hide the action bar). Nice find, thanks.
LOL its so obvious to me now since its the same on the phone, I feel like a dummy now for not realizing this sooner
You are welcome guys

I made mine invisible using StaticText. I use swipe down gesture on ADW to open the drawer anyway.
Hello, Since i have an android device and tried some roms for this device (HTC One S)and its dissapointing to see that landscape mode is so lacking in the space that could have been used in messaging apps.
Its quite annoying (for me atleast) to have to withdraw my keyboard whilst typing something because the one i am texting with has sent something new.
I understand that this is not a place for requests, so my question is, is there any way to make messaging look like this (this image is not real)

and not like this..
Im not looking for a specific rom that allows this, im just looking for anything that makes this possible on any rom.
Thanks in advance!
Go keyboard does this, assuming you're willing to use it.
Also, is that the default ICS keyboard? I like the design.

Yeah it is the Stock ICS keyboard, its the best keyboard out there imo
And Thanks, i'll have a look into that Go Keyboard and see if i am willing to use it.
On a sidenote, isn't it kind of odd that this relies on what keyboard you use rather than using whatever keyboard you like and being able to do this ?
There are some of those keyboards where they divide on both sides, those may be something you want to look into
Hi
I'm looking for a slide-out app or a widget or whatever, that resembles Action launcher's alphabetical app drawer. Aviate Launcher has something like this too. I love this for quickly finding an app I want. I'm really liking Themer for my launcher though, and want to keep using that.
Any suggestions?
Looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Seems easy to add. Hope they do it soon.
I second that for more customization options like that. User with less app will find this is not a big deal for them, but for those with a lot of apps with find it useful. There's folder options that we can sit related apps inside to separate each of the types but this customization will add more juice, of course. :good:
