Hi,
Is there any app or mod, except nova launcher to get icon badges? Im using pure nexus rom, if thats matter.
Thank you.
You mean the notification counter? You need a launcher that supports that.

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.

I'm constantly modding my android and had an idea the other day. I think I'd be best to make the status bar disappear or hide it. I have a custom Rom that allows that but I want the option of still being able to swipe down to check it.
What's the best to hide the status bar but still be able to swipe down to check it?
Thanks !

Apex launcher can do this.

Try a custom launcher. Nemus launcher lets you hide the bar and reshow it by swiping down.

try GMP from market it allows you to set specific gesture for an action.
You can set a gesture of your choice to hide status bar, and it will work no matter where you are or running on your phone
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Thanks I'll check them out.

Great I use apex but Where? I found the option to hide the status bar but that won't let my swipe down to access it. It gets rid of it completely.

Any of you guys able to provide a link to a no0b friendly guide to modifying framework to hide status bar permanently i.e; within apps not just on home? I'm using kk and most guides seem to be ics and jb.

Hey guys. I've been searching a way to make the CM 10.1 app drawer background become transparent. Can someone help me out?
I've followed some tuts (such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835833) but they only teach how to make the notification bar transparent.
Thanks

I've tried launchers before. They worked, but I'd like to edit Trebuchet. I'd like to use default launcher. I'm not really into launchers

Apex and nova both have this option and are both based on the stock launcher, they just have a lot more features. They look identical to stock if all you change is the drawer transparency

hum, I'll try them. What to you think: apex versus nova? Which one is the best?

Try both they both offer virtually the same features I use nova launcher, but thats cos I got the prime version in an app sale
Nova(https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=nova+launcher)
Apex ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=apex+launcher)

ty very much! I'll use apex cause it's free. Maybe I'll move for nova pro later.
Both have free versions and an add on that costs money but adds lots of features
Hi. I love having KitKat because is the most recent version of Android, but I also like classic Donut/Cupcake appearance, like launcher, statusbar, color scheme, etc.
Is this possible?
Oh! Before I forget, I want Froyo lockscreen too.
Thanks in advanced.

Wow, you take it REALLY old school. Best answer I could give you (and I'm not a genius by far) is to see if any of the launcher apps (Nova, Apex, etc) have a Donut/Cupcake icon pack, and use Xposed to create the rest of the look (Xblast will do most of what you are looking for including status bar, changing some of the system colors, etc). Not sure if XLockY will do Froyo lockscreen, but I haven't played with that module too much.
