I was wondering, am I the only one that is annoyed by the raised Icons in the 2.3 launcher? Like I look at the Froyo launcher an see the Icons are a bit closer to the dock, and when I go back to the 2.3 launcher its seems they are raised higher. Is there a way to lower the icons?

Open up the apk
I use 7zip for that
Then go to res folder
Look around the folders in the res folder for the dock icons
Open up with like gimp or photoshop and nove the pic down

Can i change the colors?
Can i swap the contacts for different app?
Can i change the dock style so i cant make it look like the iphones?

I prefer launcher pro to adw but its really a matter of opinion.

thanks to both of you but i forgot to mention is there any options while still running TouchWiz i tried Adw, launcher, and i think the other one was GOLauncher (the one with the 3leaf clover logo), but i prefer to use TW
I thought of a launcher which is a combination of ADW and Sony Ericsson corner launcher

lol post those wallpapers
edit:
nice idea, good luck with all that
Dont worry guys! Team Syndicate is already covering this in a new launcher being released on Dec. 1, 2011
I have talked with the OP and it will be a style/option in a new epic launcher coming soon
15. Half naked girl wallpaper
Oh stop whining about the wallpaper, the idea is brilliant, unique and definatly something I would use. The wallpaper is something you can see on womans magazines and billboards anywhere.
If I knew anything more about android development other than the layouts are extremely frustrating when you come from a windows development background, I would tackle this myself.
Yes, these are what I wanted too.
A goo launcher that looks nice and has cool icons with following feature.
1. Hide/Show apps in App Drawer
2. Make folder in APp Drawer
3. Uninstall App directly via app drawer.
If anyone could make such a launcher it would really be great....
@OP
This not a quite hard thing to do actually.
Draw the icons to the wallpaper of your screen size.
Set the shortcuts (or widgets like folder organizer if you want folders) with blank icon at the corners every page.
Set no scrolling wallpaper.
Done!

That sounds like stock ICS launcher lol
Hey anyone have some nice ones they know of with nice themes? I refuse to use go launcher because it has a cluttered menu. I want simple like stock but fast and smooth and themed like ics or sense 4.0
Adw has very nice ics themes

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

Use third party Launcher, such as Apex or Nova

those launcher are crap and sluggish. i've already used them. tried many launchers already, they all suck and waste battery life. there's no way to do this without installing any apps or custom roms?
Nope
I am afraid I have to answer that stock launcher can't have 6 icons on the dock.
Either third party launcher or a system mod.
Pretty sure if you feel lag on those launchers it's something with your phone not the launchers. And calm down man, so hostile for no reason

I'm a total novice but my Nexus 7 has 6 icons and is the same OS.
Might there be a way to fiddle the settings? (eg screen resolution)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Because the Nexus 7 has a bigger screen so its stock ROM was designed with more room for icons.
Yes, you can play with the system settings.... but why would you want to do so if there are ROMs/apps out there that do those thing perfectly fine?
I won't stop you from playing with your phone or developing your own ROM though
Edit: And Apex is fantastic. I used it from version 0.3, never lagged or slow (well, except for a few beta builds)

Thats like saying you should be able to fit the same amount of words onto an A4 that you did using an A3 paper.
While using the same size font.

As I said, I know nothing of the technical aspects of this.
However, I have changed buildprop to alter icon sizes , so it seemed at least a bit plausible...

nothing about nova or apex is going to slow you down. you will never know its there. promise. and you get mad customizing from them. i dont use apex, but with nova you can speed up the animations and screen swipes. these arent go launchers by the way. these are launchers that some devs will pack in their roms because they run so seamlessly.
i think im a little OCD and hate non stock apps being mixed with stock. is there anyway to change it so i can create folders and rearrange it to how i want it to look like? without using homescreen

if you mean is making folders inside app drawer then you can yous adw or go launcher for that
Nova Launcher Prime also lets you create folders, and in my opinion is faster than ADW and light years faster than Go Launcher.
These apps are all good and we'll but I don't like the ICS look and I would like something permanent and not an app like a root mod or something..

That doesn't make sense, just get a new launcher. It is permanent.
