I saw this on the xda homepage and it's pretty awesome. I love the lockscreen shortcuts on sense, but I remove almost all the widgets and random stuff you don't need and use Apex launcher, but if you remove the stock launcher the lockscreen doesn't work the same. So this guy figured out how to keep the shortcuts, change them whenever you want, and remove Rosie!
I followed his instructions and it works great on Energy's latest ROM. Check it out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874228

I am very excited about CM7 for the Bolt, but I know that I am going to miss the full-screen weather animations. I'm running CM7 on my Nook Color and absolutely love it, but these animations are the one thing I still really like on my Bolt from Sense, and that I prefer about my Bolt interface versus NC.
WidgetLocker has an option for enabling full-screen Sense weather animations even when you're using a replacement launcher, but this option seemed to go away (I couldn't find it anyway) when I ran the de-sense script written for Das BAMF. Is there any way to add whatever WidgetLocker looks for to a ROM so that this option is enabled? For instance, by pulling out parts from a Sense ROM and flashing them? Thanks!
Try beautiful widgets. Load the clock/ weather widget on a homescreen and turn on the weather animation on in advance settings. They have their own unlock weather animations its not exactly like sense but somewhat similar. Its an experimental feature too. You can place the widget in a launcher app and use another. The animations will still kick in.

Yep. Beautiful Widgets is the app you need.

Can anyone suggest a good app that will allow a user to change the icon for an app?
I was using ADW EX and could change the icons anytime thanks for the fantastic integrated editing features of the launcher. But I'm giving Sense a thorough test drive for the first time and really like it, so I'd like to use all the custom icons I bought from Tha Phlash.
Follow-up: Is there a way to add a fifth column and/or fifth row?
Desktop Visualizer, it only changes them on the home screens tho, not the app drawer

Is there a way to change all the icons? App drawer included?
I've been using GO Launcher EX. I removed Sense, installed Ziggy's kernel, and installed ThaIconUltimate to change all my icons. It was a little sluggish at first, but it's running silky smooth ever since I flashed Ziggy's kernel.
In the screenshot attached, you'll see I have 5 icons across the bottom row, then 5 columns x 4 rows of icons on each screen. GO Launcher lets you customize how many rows/columns you'd like to add.
Started using Nova Launcher with Nils ICS and ran into a small problem.
The Sense Lockscreen that has the 4 shortcuts by default launch Sense and not Nova Launcher, any way to change it? Do I need another lockscreen?
Have you tried removing the Sense APK(Rosie.apk) and see if Nova launches the shortcut properly? I don't use the Sense lockscreen anymore so I can't test.
I just removed the Rosie and it still loads the icon. Even more interesting is that I just deleted the HTC lock screen yet it is still there. Weird

Try this. It may help you it may not.
I reset the device after getting rid of rosie and the lock screen and now its the ics lockscreen like it should be

will do, but do we still have to unlock to answer calls?
No idea, I am running Nils latest with Sense, I just remembered seeing that thread.
TW4 is an abomination. I have switched to the Apex launcher which does a good job of giving a stock ICS feel, but I want rid of the fugly samsung TW icons for phone, messaging, contacts etc.
Whats the easiest way to do this?
rant
Why the **** would you bother changing the good things in stock ICS, like folders etc, and replace them with the sort of ugly and arduous **** we haven't had to deal with since Froyo in stock?
/rant
If you get Apex Pro you can use the adw ICS theme and use the icon pack from that in the Apex theme menu.
Just download an ICS icon pack and long press to change them using Apex launcher. Did a quick google search and found many. One link below.

Once you get your icon sets, Desktop Visualizer from the market gives you the ability to change any icon with any launcher and resize it depending on what you want.

Does TW give you the ability to put the app drawer icon into the center?

Yep, been using it for months. Didn't work with Holo Launcher though
I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.
