I have the NonSense ICS ROM installed on my phone. It has Apex Launcher installed which supports Go Launcher Themes. Yet for some reason it only enables the icons. Any ideas why?
There is an option for 'skin' and 'fonts' but they are greyed out.
Any way to fix this? Or is there cuttently no support for the full themes?

Have you upgraded from the free version?
According to google play Apex Launcher Pro unlocks the following features:
- Multiple configurable drawer tabs
- Unread count notifications
- Dock swipe gestures
- Two finger gestures
- More transition effects
- ADW, LauncherPro, and Go Launcher theme support
- Batch add option for folders
- Option to merge folder contents
- Widgets in dock (1x1 only)
- Overlapping widgets
- More features on the way!
Apex was cool but I have yet to find a launcher that has everything I want all in one. Each launcher has something I like, but none all in one.
I saw that, but does that just mean icon support or the entire theme? I don't want to spend the money only to be disappointed
Yeah haha that's so true! Every launcher has pros and cons haha

I saw apex was updated to support themes. I searched the market and didn't see many. Does anyone know of any there or on xda?

yeah, i saw it too thats why i updated and i tried to apply launcher pro miui icon pack from the market but i couldnt do so. how do i apply this icon pack? can it be done using apex free version?
With the hype about Apex supporting themes, you would think that there would be at least one out by now. hehe
It says it supports themes from ADW and Go, etc... But all it really supports are the icon packs and wallpapers, which you could already do with ROM Toolbox, etc...

Weird, mine only did that when Superuser was messed up, had some bad binaries or something and needed to be updated.
I am on Scott's CleanROM DE and it runs fine.
Yeah I haven't found any yet. But at least I can replace the icons on the home screens from an adw theme

I don't consider a red wallpaper and a slight red tinge to the stock icons to be a "theme"...
if i saw right it will support themes from other launchers so just search themes for those. the one i used is an ics one. just search ics and its the one with the android sandwich. it works for all other launchers so i assume it works for apex

On most of the other launcher's themes, it just imports the icons and wallpaper... it is very limited in what it can do. Personally, the theming in general is kinda weak. Icons, some colors and things is about all that really changes. None of them truly theme the OS, IMHO

True, I was just hoping that Apex would be able to offer something other than Icon and Font packs, which we can get through Recovery, ROM Toolbox, etc...
Hi Guys,
I have made several themes which are specifically made for Apex.It's just that Google Play Store Search Engine sucks so it is hard to find themes.
Anyways, You can find my Apex Themes here
Apex Themes by Photox Designs
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.

Just use Apex or ADW (New version kicks ass)..
Hide the docks, use multiple screens and have it place an icon on the desktop for new applications.
Be like iOS but with widgets.. Ain't seen anything with no app drawer really.. Those Windows launchers maybe?

Dude, seriously, if you don't want to move your finger a few times at initial setup and keep replying "I want this ONLY", do it yourself.
You've been offered a bunch of alternatives that will behave just the way you want, except that they'll need 5 minutes of your time to set up.
Lightening Launcher
Taken a look at Lightening Launcher?
Buy an iPhone?
Is there a launcher that looks like this?
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch

I would say Nova,but the new Beta version.
It's crazy fast (Set the Scroll Speed and Animation speed to "faster then light"),transparent statusbar support (the only launcher that actually made my statusbar transparent ) and has a Kit Kat look. Tons of customization. What more do you need ?
I have 2 launchers for you. First of all is Apex Launcher it's smooth and faster and the second is KitKat Launcher it's great to live KitKat experience.

I can't believe you're discussing this...it's all matter of taste, and that's very individual. After all, all of them are free on GPlay, so try it, only you know what suits you best, and it cost nothing.

any way....I have been using go launcher. found on accident. It is really neat and I am just starting to understand it fully. Now Im seeing here that apex may take up less memory?

I had Apex.. Once. Then I downloaded Nova Launcher beta and I´m still using it No regrets about it, pretty smooth and easy launcher.
Just my opinion
You should try adw launcher. It is the only one I found that has a categorized app drawer. Makes things soo much more organized. And you can just put folder-like category shortcuts on your homescreen for easy access.
Beautyful transition-effects, great dock customisations... Gove it a try, if you are looking for a new favorite launcher.

I installed Nova and I must say I'm pretty impressed so far. I can configure the apps drawer in an alphabetical list style and much more.
One thing I find a little disappointing but that seems to be the same problem for all launchers is that the non resizable widgets are screwed up if I add them to the home screen when the grid size is changed to 5x5 or more
