[Q] Removing words - HTC Aria General

I was wondering if there was a way to remove the words for the icons, so it would just say the app instead of the program but just the icon.

I have been missing around with different Home Screen launchers and you can do it with LauncherPro. Not sure what you are using though.

Possible with ADW as well. You can also use desktop visualizer.

i downloaded desktop vis. my only question is how would i go about changing it, do i need to customize my own desktop icons? or is there another way? thanks!

what ROM are you on?

There should be an option in both launchers to hide icon labels!

[Q] Question: remove names on TW icons

Is it possible to edit the icons on TW icons - like from root explorer - to not include the name of the app ?
I dont want to switch launchers to get more options.
Without switching launchers, you aren't going to get customization outside of arranging the icons on the dock, with the exception of the Apps icon
Only way I know is by switching launchers. LP has the option.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Arranging Apps

Hey guys,
Is there an app that auto arranges the app drawer or a way to arrange the app drawer on my desktop somehow?
Thanks
I recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en been using it now ages and can access all my apps instantly after you arrange them in whatever order you want them to be in.
The main thing is that I really hate arranging apps in the normal app drawer... it takes forever. I'm looking for an fast and easy way to do it.

Which launcher do you use?
If you're using touchwiz you can try "AppZorter" in the market.
I'm using touchwiz. Just making sure I'm clear: I am looking to clean up the app drawer and not the screens.

If what you mean by clean up is to alphabetize and fill in the gaps found in the app drawer then the app I recommended earlier (AppZorter) will do the job for you.
Appzorter. Case closed.

YES!
Everything you're searching for is waiting inside the database (-files)
Just backup once you arranged your apps and simply restore after each firmware flash...

Another simplest way is Home screen -> Applications -> Menu -> List view.
It will arrange all ur apps view alphabetically.

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate
This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!
I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'
One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.

Android L Launcher - Change Icons

hi, I installed the latest Android L preview and I like it a lot but the only thing I miss is my moonshine icon pack that I used on my kitkat build.
I looked around if there is any way to change icons on the stock launcher and I came across "Beautiful Icon Styler" and I found an old apk online but it does not seem to be compatible with the android l launcher.
does anyone know if it is possible to change the icons without changing the launcher? even if it is only home screen icons I guess it is still better than nothing
thanks
I dont know for exact but u can change pngs of ur stock icons. U can google it or wait till some one answer.
Wait for xposed to release an update for android L

yea I just figured out that one. However I think I might have found an easier way.
the app is called Icon Changer free and it basically creates a shortcut for the app on your homescreen with a custom icon. the icon doesn't change in the drawer but I guess it'll have to do for now
thanks
Beautiful Icon Styler
Here you go. Was looking for a app that allowed me to style the icons while using GEL (or pretty much any other launcher). This did the trick for me.

Just use this app called Unicon. You need root but it works.
