Is it possible to create and change the icons for apps? One thing I like about the iPhone is that the app icons are largely of a uniform shape and size so look good. There are also some poorly designed icons that are a bit of an eyesore.
I quite fancy doing a 'Sticker' style icon set.
Use apps like bettercut or folderorganizer.........the second can do much more

I love the EVO and android's OS, but it supposed to be open, and very customizable?
I know their is some app in the market that makes apps get alot bigger and turn them into widgets, but.
Is their an app that allows the users to customize the size on the homescreen the app icon is. I would really want that. And pay for it.
I am rooted btw
Anybody???
RE iCONS
dude its Android there is always a free Alternative i Use FolderOrganizer, Allows you to customize Icons, remove labels from Icon packs or even if you create your own on photoshop or any photo editor even photos you took on your camera, Any image Jpeg or Png would work check different sizes
search "Bigger Icons Widget" in the market.
I have no idea how to develop android apps or anything like that, I do have a few questions or ideas on how to do this though.
Basically what I am asking is, is it possible to increase the size on an icon on the home screen, whether its using adw.launcher, launcher pro, or the stock launcher?
I know you can increase the size of widgets on adw.launcher but I want the icons.
Better cut lets you change the icon, but not the size. I think I read that standard icons on android phones are 48x48.
Is their anyway to possibly explore the .apk and rechange the icon dimensions or image size, and resign it and then install it?
Or is their a program available that lets you stretch icons on the homescreen.
I have tried better cut, and have icons that are higher resolutions, and haven't had any luck. Also i checked the market and their are no icon packs or anything similar to the ones I want
Could someone explain if this is possible please? thanks.
Anyone have a suggestion?
desktop visualizer---change size
Folder organizer---change icon

Thank you so much.
the developer who make more icons also makes a widget that lets you have large icons..dont remember the name but if you look for moreicons in the market you should be able to find this app
Hi folks,
I used the search function but I don't know how to search for that
I was wondering if it is possible to get that colored icon background in standard Sense appdrawer like it is in Galaxy S?
For example: In our Desire with standard Sense appdrawer we have the icon for an app with transparent background, so you only see the icon itself. But I want to have the icon on a colored square matching the colors of the app-icon like in Galaxy S appdrawer.
I like this smooth appearence in appdrawer of Samsung Galaxy S, everything is clean and each icon has the same dimensions.
Is it possible to add this feature to Sense appdrawer?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if you manually edit each apps apk with the desired background icon...but they would appear like that on homescreen too.
Why not use Touchwiz launcher? It's not too bad...but of course you lose HTC Widgets.

Touchwiz is very uncomfortable in my opinion... and editing each apk is a LOT of work!
I guess it is only a small fragment of code which places a background behind the icons in Touchwiz, but what exactly is it?
Maybe I have some time to develop something own next weekend

MIUI does it, but that's a whole rom(no apart launcher).
Just wondering what people were wanting the developers to work on for the new metro interface. Personally I would love to be able to use custom photos for launcher tiles. I'm inspired by some of the great screen shots I've seen for Launcher7 for android devices. Something like this Browsing Customization on deviantART over the tiles?
I've been using the CP only for a few days but I already missed the fature to set the tile Images manually. Some non-Metro apps look terrible with their tiny Icons compared to the tiles. Another thing I don't like is that you can't drag the Metro screens. You either have to use the scrollbar or the mouseweel. Oh and I think the Color selection is too limited. It would be able to tie the Interface Color with the automatic aero color, so that the Background has the same Color as the highlights.
Is there a launcher that allows widgets to not have margins? I want my widgets to be close together. I cant find a way to do it.
You have to use something like nova and choose like a 10x10 grid..that's the only way I think would work.

Im using nova and any grid size just doesn't work right. Say you have a 4x2 widget. Then you set Nova to 10x10. Now set the 4x2 widget. To make it look right the size changes to 10x3. Just doesnt work. Basically I want to put 3 widgets on my screen. one thats a 5x2, 5x3 and 5x3. So I would need a grid size of 8x5. But If I set it to that the widgets dont fit at all. Its because the widgets have to be re-sized so big to look right.
BUMP Until I get a answer
The only suggestion I could find for your question isn't free. Next Launcher allows you to freehand resize all widgets (meaning does not "snap to grid" resize) , even overlap. This is the lite version so you can try before you buy...

Lefty is exactly right. I've been using next launcher 3D and that's actually one of my favorite features that NO other launchers can accomplish (that I know of).
Some widgets just have funky dimensions, so it's nice to able to resize and place them literally anywhere on the screen. They can partially overlap as much or as little as you'd like.
This can also be done with apps...it looks messy, but you can turn off the grid completely and place the app icons wherever you want. You can even rotate the icons! And I won't even get into all the 3d features...I could go on forever. This is by far my favorite launcher and I've used quite a few.

The issue im having is this. No matter what launcher I use. Next 3D included. If I make the GRID Size 10 x 5 I should be able to have many widgets on my screen. So a 4x2 weather and a 4x3 Pulse and then a 3x4 Hangouts Widget and then a 2x2 photo. So I should just need a 4 x 9 grid right. Wrong because the grid is so big the a widget at 4x2 ends up being a 4x4 to view it all. I need a launcher that allows the widgets to show correctly at the default widget size. So I want a 10 x 5 grid size to actually hold more then 3 widgets. Nova Launcher is the same way. Just with Nova you can adjust the margins anymore then the 3 sizes included. With next you can make your own. But still I cant fit the 5 widgets on my screen that I want. Weather, Gmail, Hangout, Photo, Pulse. I want all those in there default widget sizes. I dont understand why making the grid size bigger makes the widgets bigger. In windows or Mac OSX when I make the rez bigger it doesnt make anything else bigger.
