So, I'm using the latest Arrow 13 rom, with it's default launcher. I guess it's a pixel launcher mod or something, I don't know. And I'm using my own icon packs. The issue is, when an icon is not available in the mentioned icon pack, the launcher creates this small icon within a circle, see my screenshot. How to make it use the original, normal icon, when in-icon pack one is not available? I've asked in the Arrow telegram group, but that thing is beyond useless, and their support is none existing. Nova launcher for example has a feature for this.
Maybe ask in ROM's thread? This is related to specific ROM and you can't solve it by yourself
I think this happens with all pixel-like launchers, so it's not closely related to the rom. I think. I never had these issues with Lawnchair launcher, but that one doesn't work on A13.

Hi there
I don't like MIUI, always wotking on CM7, but I DO like the
fact that I will have nice page indicators in MIUI.
Is there an option, widget or mod that can be done by me when I
want a page indicator?
May be a normal dot, but if I can decompile and compile it would
be BETTER!
I use:
- LauncherPro
- Latest SGS CM7 nightly
Thanks in advance!
i would like to know if there is a way to change the page indicators in adw launcher..??
i think it can be changed in the launcher theme apk thou, have not tried this and i dont want to make a theme just so i can change the page indicators.
one way is to embed the indicators to walls.
but i wish there was an easy way to change it in the launcher apk.
anyone??
With MIUI you can just change the images in ADW in your MIUI theme. For example, you'd have a org.adwfreak.launcher (I think that's the right name) folder in your mtz and just put the images in there as they are in the apk. Unfortunately you're trying to do this on CM7, so it won't work the same way.
If LauncherPro already has an option to show page indicators then you can just change the images in the apk. I don't know exactly where the files are in LauncherPro, but they shouldn't be too hard to find. I don't think you have to decompile if you're just swapping out pngs.
You can also make shortcuts to the different pages and use whatever indicator you want as the image for the shortcut. For the current page I just used the app drawer action. You'd have to set columns and rows pretty high to get them fairly close together, and it still doesn't look the same.
On ADW (Ex at least), you can make a shortcut to different pages from the launcher actions shortcut menu. Unless something has changed with LP, you have to use LauncherPro shortcuts to get shortcuts to different pages. I have the files needed to do so somewhere, I can dig them out if anyone wants them.

Hi! I'm using adw launcher ex on cm7
I think pngs to be replaced are pager_dot_normal.png and pager_dot_selected.png (it's all I have found is all I've found that seems to refer to the indicators of the page)
located in:
\res\drawable-hdpi
\res\drawable-mdpi
\res\drawable-xlarge-mdpi
I've opened adw.apk with 7zip and i replaced these pngs, but nothing works. unexplainably i've got old dot indicators even they were replaced
ICS added folders on the home screen, but when one is opened it has an ugly black background (see the screenshot). I've looked for launchers that have customization for this, but haven't found any yet. Some, like Apex, lets you customize the background of the folder icon but that's not what I'm talking about.
I have to admit haven't tried all launchers, I've mostly looked at feature lists.
So, my question is, does any launcher or any other program offer the capability to customize the ugly open folder background?
Have a solution
Well, I guess there's no launcher with this feature. I did manage to change the folder background to 50% transparent in Nova launcher with the info found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518016. Basically, one needs to change the file portal_container_holo.9.png in the APK. The above mentioned thread provides some examples, like transparent and wood.
This method should work on any launcher based on the original ICS launcher, like Nova and also the modded one discussed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412193
POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?

There's no solution for this use third party icons from playstore to replace them. I've seen this problem in every redmi series it looks like miui icons are limited to system launcher only.
Use a miui icon pack in Nova Launcher and enable resizing icons to match material guidelines, you should be fine.
I faced the same issue...I installed "Lawnchair" launcher,..and yeah the icons look ugly as hell..
I installed "Polycon" app..now its better

Go to app drawer
Long press on app
Select edit from the popup menu
Tap in the app icon
Select Polycon
Choose your icon
i'm new with sansung, came from Oneplus (my last one was oneplus 8 pro) and there i could first of all change every icon on homescreen individually and choose whichever icon i want to set. And now on the S23 Ultra i just cant figure out how to do that. so how do i change icons in S23, is it a launcher thing? do i suppose to go as far as Rooting my device to enable such features?
also, in the oneplus i have the option to set wide wallpapers which scrolled together as i scrolled through the homescreen pages, is there a way to do that here?
Samsung Galaxy store download the Samsung app called theme park, that's where you customize oneui (Samsung Android skin) also there's a whole bunch of Samsung apps you'll want for customization goodlock and theme park have them for you to download

As stated in the post before, you have "Good Lock" and its modules, or with one of the launchers, e.g. "Nova Launcher" with which you can do exactly what you mentioned... and much more...
Just use 3rd party launcher, and it would be easy peasy,
Nova Launcher is what i currently use
