Where is homescreen layout located? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to create default homescreen layout in a custom rom. For example - I want to have phone and messaging icons in dock and web browser icon on desktop as a default setting the user will get after rom installation. Where to find settings for this?
Thank you

Text icons

Is there a way to use custom icons for app shortcuts on desktop without having a custom launcher ?
yes you can use something like this http://androinica.com/2009/02/app-review-better-cut-is-any-cut-on-steroids/
take folder organizer
Haven't seen anywhere on descriptions, is there a possibility of hiding the default shortcut text below the icon ?
Desktop Visualizer lets you create custom icons, and lets you edit/hide the text.

Icons changed?

For some reason some of my Icons have switched to look like half moons? can anyone explain why and how to get the original icons back ...thanks in advance..
Hi,
If I'm right, it's because these moon icons are made by Advanced Browser, you can't (atm) have custom icons on advanced browser shortcuts.
If you want normal icons, make you shortcuts from the normal browser.

(Q) Desktop Visualizer

I am currently running the stock sense 2.1 Rom rooted, but I would like to edit the icons through Desktop Visualizer. I have figured out have to accomplish this, but I have run into another problem at the end. I change the icons for "messages" and "mail" on my desktop, but when a new message or new mail comes in, the new icons do not show that there are new items (Like the stock ones do by using a superscript "1") Is there any way to make this work without installing a home launcher?

Custom Launcher setup?

Hi guys,
I'm customising a ROM for an generic MX Android TV box but I'd like to change the background and apps that appear on the home screen as default. I have the system Launcher2.apk, but what do I need to edit (ie, which xml files) to change the background image and change the icons that appear by default on the home screen?
Any help would be gratefully received!
