I just traded my iPhone 4 for a SGH-i777 (hope I made a good trade).
My question is about the icons. With the iPhones, one can install themes with custom icons & also the ability to change icons. Is there any way to do this with this phone?
I'm not trying to get a flame started, just an honest question from an android noob.
Thanks.

Yes you can. It is your job to find an APP that can do this.

That's all I needed to know.
Search the play store for Launchers and themes for them.

Way to push the poor guy back to Apple guys. He came from iOS, chances are he didn't even know what a launcher was. On iOS its Springboard.
OP, look up ADW and GO launcher. Both have enough themes and customization to make Android look like anything you want.

There's no need for personal attacks here on xda. Let's just let this die a natural death. Good luck all, happy flashing.

Welcome to Android and XDA u made a very good trade...... If you're still on gingerbread 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 holo or go launcher will work if you're on ICS 4.0.3 then I recommend Apex launcher you can search the play store for any of those.... GL just know most people on here are cool and will help you just ignore the punks their easy to spot.

I noticed that ManelScout4Life seems to be posting nightlies of the Vanilla Rootbox 4.2.1 ROM under the "quincyatt" header on his goo.im section (although they don't appear when you "filter by compatible roms".
I downloaded it, but searched all over the interwebz and couldn't find a damn thing on it...and since I'm not a huge fan of blindly flashing ROM's, I wanted to see if anyone here has taken the plunge and tried to flash it? I know he did the voting thing the other day, but I have no idea how that turned out...so I'm not sure if he's just intentionally not posting it here, or if they're just test builds that aren't ready for full-on testing yet.
Either way - I have read some cool things about RootBox, so I'd love to give it a whirl if anyone else (Manel included?) could confirm that it's not gonna take us to Bricktown or anything. :laugh:
Thanks in advance, hopefully I didn't miss anything previously regarding his ROM's...I'm definitely not trying to go against a contributor's wishes or anything like that.
I'm running Dirty RootBox on my N7 and its great. I haven't heard or seen anything of it for the i717.

I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere before, I have been searching for a couple days and haven't found it so I pre-apologize if it has. Is it possible to have the stock AOSP dialer in a TW rom? I actually like TW on the Note 2, and although I'm a huge CM fan and there is now a RC2 out, its still not quite as stable as I would like for a daily. However, I use google voice and I can't live without being able to view my voicemail in the dialer/call log. In fact, if anyone else uses google voice maybe they can relate, it works 10 times better to retrieve voicemail in the dialer than in the app.. It seems in the app sometimes it takes 5-20+ seconds to retrieve a voicemail, where in the dialer they consistently are there every time.
Anyway that's it. I'm assuming its probably tied in to the rom somewhere and can't just be added, which I haven't tried yet... But I was hoping someone a lot smarter and more experienced with the workings of Android could answer this question before I bork a rom and have to start over Thanks
I meant to post this in the Q&A thread, SORRY!!
If it can be moved maybe someone could teach me? Or if someone in charge could just kill it I can repost..
go to the themes and apps section, theres an aosp contacts/dialer flashable zip

This is not a demand or request, I just wanted to throw this question out there. Now that 4.3 TW is ported even though without radios, can the sunglare lockscreen/animated weather widget be ported to 4.1? Maybe someone with the knowledge/power/time might want to make it happen, but I just want to know if its possible. Thanks in advance.

Much better title. And to answer the question now that I can see it, odds are no. Most features of the new version of android can't be added to older versions. I could be wrong an someone might be able to hack them apart but in my experience, it won't work. But the thread is asking correctly now so maybe someone more knowledgeable then me will chime in. Thanks for fixing it bro. :beer:
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
It could be done to some extent, but depending on what feature you're looking for, the difficulty of doing so may be pretty high. IMO, it would be easier to just wait for a 4.3 release/leak for our device to get the features.
Right on, thanks guys. :thumbup:

Dev's,
I just wanted to make a post saying that yes, there are people here interested in ROM's, and YES we do appreciate your work.
I am patiently waiting for a working CM10 or 4.4 AOSP, and don't really mind the time it takes to build as long as its solid.
i will test where i can

Well a couple of reasons for that. The G2 for Sprint came out almost a month after the other G2 variants. Also, CDMA phones have always been the step child of Android Development.
Rest assure there is development for this phone. I have personally tested a few 4.3.x and 4.4 roms. The devs don't want to release half ass stuff. When the threads start here, they will be close to perfect.
Patience grasshopper.

its actually nice to hear that someone is working on it.
I had a Gnex and the development was explosive compared to the G2 (not surprisingly), but as I'm sure you can see in this forum, it looks pretty empty.
Without a doubt i am grateful for every dev who is working on Roms for our phone, but without any forum movement, it looks pretty stagnant. Your response is nice to see, and I am sure that I'm not the only one who is happy to hear that there is someone somewhere trying to help the bastard stepchild of the G2 world out
