Hey all I'm new to the Nexus phones, but not new to android.
Previously I would put my own icons into roms that I liked (ie custom icons in CM10). I got the nexus because I wanted vanilla android, but I also want to be able to use my own icons.
Is there a way to do this while staying off of a rom?
Sorry for the noobness...
Thanks in advance!
This does not go in android development & to answer your question, use a launcher like nova to customize icons.

Hi guys. First time posting here. I have a Samsung Epic 4g and I was wondering if there are any roms out there that will get me to a stock Froyo condition. I am not interested in any themes or any extras, just plain old android. Basically, I want my phone to act as if it were a Nexus One. Please advise.
There is a Froyo leak that is going around currently. However, if you really want to make it look like the nexus one, follow these steps.
1. Look in the development section, there's a guide on how to flash froyo.
Next, download Launcherpro and Desktop Visualizer.
The launcher is similar to the nexus ones launcher.
Next, download some nexus one icons online, and use the desktop Visualizer. Its in the widget section and use the first option. The steps are pretty straight forward. Hope this is what you were looking for!
You won't get it exactly like the nexus one anyway due to a different processor btw

Thanks for the reply. However, I should say, I am not looking for a Nexus One look. I am looking for stock android. I have used Launcher pro before... I can't exactly agree with you that it looks like the stock Froyo launcher however. I have disabled the Touchwiz launcher though and am using the stock Froyo launcher. Honestly, I just want a true Google device with no bull on it. Thanks.
We dont have a 100 percent aosp rom.

What is ASOP?

AOSP is android open source project. The straight code from google with no carrier changes.

Will I be able to root the device and then remove certain touchwiz elements?

Hello guys. I just wanna ask. Can I somehow make my bottom button dock transparent? Without the black background. It is rooted, but I don't wanna flash custom ROM. I like the original one. It just needs few tweaks. Thanks for help.

If you're willing to use a custom launcher apex, nova, Apollo, adw, and I'm sure many other will allow you to change this.

Is there another name for this bar? Have tried several launchers, adw, nova etc and have yet to find an option to make this transparent. Be nice to reclaim that space.
Oh I was think you were referring to the dock, where the icons are. If you're talking about the three soft buttons, back, home, recent, then I'm not sure, never looked into it.
Chances are there is a way, but may need a custom rom

Do you mean the navbar? You can make it transparent in the Paranoid Android ROM, not in stock. (Maybe with metamorph...)

I'd like to know, also. Is there some patch I can flash to make this happen?
As I am new to the Android platform I would like to know how to change my icons. I plan on flashing to the Eclipse ROM, but I do not like the icons on it. I either want to use stock or a minimalist icon set.
If anyone can tell me what to use to do this, and possibly some good icon sets I would appreciate it very much.

Try adw launcher. Has a bunch of themes to pick from which have any number of plug and play icons. Of you are talking about the status indicators such as Battery and signal that's when you need to think about a ROM. Otherwise a launcher with theme support is all you need.

Hi folx.

So i have few questions about it. All questions consider rooting phone, but not putting custom rom

2. Can i put some shortcuts to unlocking circle?
3. How can i remove google search bar on stock launcher?
4. Can i add some more shortucts to switches menu in notification bar?
5. Can i change color on softbuttons?
If i remember something more, i will write it here
Thanks i advance

Hi,
1) Light Manager works perfectly, I use it.
2) Custom rom.
3) Not possible if I remember right, need to use an alternative launcher like Nova / Apex or a moded stock launcher.
4) Custom rom or maybe with an existing mod (I doubt)?
5) Custom rom or take a look here but here the colors are limited.
Mainly what you are asking is in almost all the custom roms...
Thanks a lot for response!
Tell me, is it possible to add wather widget on lockscreen as widget?
Thanks in advance

Check out dash clock widget. If that's not what you're looking for and want full size widgets then try a custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs have a feature that allows you to put any widget on the lockscreen.
It looks like you need to start flashing!
Ahhh.. I wanted to use stock for few weeks.. Ive heard that there is one kernel that is working best with stock rom and makes battery life much more better.
P.s. can i recieve ota if i am rooted?
P.p.s. does build number affect ota updates (like on galaxy nexus)?

I am thinking about getting a custom rom but I want to find the perfect one for me.
It must be stable enough to use has a daily driver, change softkey icons, colour changing to holo bars and icons, a feature like Paranoidandroid where you change the UI and other popular features.
