Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?

I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
I am looking for a setting/script/app that will put a shortcut on my homescreen each time I install an app (Similar to what the Xoom does with HC). I dont like my app drawer and would rather all my apps be right there. If you have ever looked at MIUI you will know what I am talking about. Currently I am using GoLauncher EX.
Thanks!
Ok had a question about the Arc Launcher. So i noticed you can add your own items in the dock bar, Which is perfect. But i cant seem to change the app drawer icon? I like the launcher but i also like adw's and also launcher pro, Which all give me every option i could ever ask. Is there a way to modify the original launcher to offer more options, Such as resize widgets.. Or like adws hidden app drawer. ?
I've launcher pro plus on my phone and there one feature missing. I am unable to re-arrange icons in the app drawer. How can i do that? or there's no such feature in launcher pro.
I also find my phone randomly putting icons in the drawer apps box when i install them. How can i make it so the newest installed app is at the very last?
thx

Thanks alot buddy
But it still doesn't tell how to rearrange icons in the app drawer :S
My sister loves her SGS2 and I suggested that she use Go Launcher as her default launcher. She likes the customization available with Go Launcher, but misses the ability to add app drawer pages that was possible with the stock launcher. Is there any launcher that has this feature?
Bump.
Something like Xperia S launcher?
