Apex Launcher Help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help with the Apex Launcher or a similar program.
Does anyone know of any themes out there, or a way of changing the standard black colour on the Samaung Galaxy S3 to another colour of choice? (On the messaging app, contacts, menu, phone book screen etc)
Thanks,

Launcher Preferences on Nero V5

I've been looking for the preferences for the launcher on nero v5 but can't find them. I just want to be able to change the actions of the buttons on the bottom of the home screen. And maybe make that background clear.
Anyone know how to adjust them?

Download "HomeSmack"
from the market. Makes changing easy.
If yoyr talking about the gingerbread launcher or tw launcer. You wont be able to make tge background clear. I suggrst you download adw launcher from the market. That is the only launcher thst im aware that lets you set a clear background on the drawer

I'm just talking about on the home screens, the buttons on the bottom for the app drawer and browser etc.
I would switch to launcher pro, but I love the app drawer in nero 5, i guess it's just the froyo launcher or something.

Why not switch? You can have an identical looking dock bar like you described with the added ability to customize nearly everything.

i know what you mean. i switched to adwEx launcher but the notification bar doesnt change when i apply the theme-formely known as Nero Glass wich has the transparent backround that MWBehr made. my dialer, contacts, and notification become transparent when i use the stock launcher in bionix_v. i believe its adw based. im going to try apk manager and pull the transparency from the theme and apply it to adwEx.

[Q] Launch TouchWiz App Screen via LauncherPro (Donation possible)

Hey there,
I really like the app screen of touch wiz because it is greatly customizable. However I would like to use Launcher Pro for other reasons. So I was wondering if I can launch the touch wiz app screen in launcher pro. I was trying add it by Launcher Pro activities, but I couldn't find the app screen there.
Anyone any ideas? I would be very thankful (Donation ;-))
Thanks

I think if you hit the menu key in the homescreen and go to add then to shortcuts you can add touchwiz launcher.. Give it a try

I would be greatly interested in this as well. Love the homescreen customization of launcher pro but the launcher of touchwiz is too great to pass up.
twlauncher is not available as a shortcut through launcher pro it seems, and besides it will just take me to the touchwiz homescreen I'm assuming.

Tried that before. Brings me to the launcher. However I just want the apps screen to be used within launcher pro.

So I guess there is no way to make that happen huh? Too bad that would have been just perfect.

[Q] Changing touchwitz icons

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.

Widget selection screen

I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.

ah, my bad, I'm using nova launcher which gives the old style list, must be touchwiz way then....change launcher
Nah...first time now i like how stock launcher looks, nova is ugly.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Homescreen transition animation will never be the same
And of course the clock widget will be gone. So not fit to my need.

[Q] Compatible theme question

I'm new to using themes and icon packs. I have an S2x running Nova Launcher Prime and WidgetLocker. However, I'm unsure as to how to tell which sliders and icons are compatible with the programs. (GOlauncher/Apex?) Also, when users post screens of their sliders, are the clock widgets they use on their screen downloadable or found on the Play Store?
Thanks
Bump
