I seen some screen shots from other evo users and noticed some have different icons. Where do i get different icons and how do i apply them?
I am new to android and changed my icons using folder organizer lite, which is free.
Probably some of the pros have better ways, but it's fairly easy.
is that an android app? Hmm ill have to check that out.
icon change
download the icon pack from the market of your choice then use folder organizer (from market) to change it under the apps tab then all you have to do is go on and add it as a widget under the folder organizer item widget

Better Cut and Any Cut don't work anymore with the newest EVO update.

It can only be done with a homescreen replacement like launcherPro or ADW Launcher. Under the Preferences for them, find an option for hiding the icon labels.
Is it possible to change folder icon from the default "folder" looking icon to something else? Is there an icon app? Thanks.
metamorph can change things like that. there is also another program i just forgot the name at the moment.
check out the evo forums a lot of the stuff they use we can use.

Thanks. I will check it out.
Solution found guys. There is an app on Market called "Folder Organiser Lite". Got everything customized through that app. Hope this helps those that were in my shoes.
I believe it only change shortcut icons, every icons in app drawer still the same.

You create "Labels" which equate to folders and then add apps to that label/Folder and assign an icon to that label/folder. Worked for me.
I seen someone post these screen shots and I am very curious of what everything is. I am not sure if they are themed or market widgets. I like the launcher too.
Can anyone put a name to what any of these are? I would definitely like to try them out. Thanks.
The launcher is launcher pro with an icon pack

that looks really cool, I might look into launcher pro.
Thanks. I am already using LauncherPro Plus, and now I have yet another reason to love it even more.

What's the icon pack and where do I get it?
the widgets aren't part of launcher pro, as far as I know. For the clock, I think it's SiMi Clock widget for the one on the right. I'm not sure if it's also the one on the left
The battery ne is circle battery widget that is free from the market, the weather looks lke beautiful widgets which is a paid app

Picture 1:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro
- Battery: Not sure
- Weather: I'm guessing Simi Clock Widget (with the weather on) resized
- Date: Not sure
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
Picture 2:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro/Plus
- Weather: Beautiful Widgets with Tick skin
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
- News Widget: Genie Widget (But not the default. Looks like a modded version to me)
The battery widget is called "circle battery widget" by cedric depoortere

You hit it right on the head! You extend the lines by using LauncherPro's resizing handles. Customization at its finest.... Thanks!!!

Wow I really like these too, I think I'll spend the evening trying to get my homescreen to look like this. Is that really the Dreamlyfe pack?

No I just really wanted to know what those icons were. I experimented with a launcher a long time ago on my mytouch and I hated how it looked and how it slowed my phone so I just had never tried one again but jeez that picture is just exactly the clean look I've been craving for my phone. I like the stock launcherpro icons but I am the kind of person who likes (free, not warez just free) options.

Yea, I definitely had it looking close. That Simi widget is a mystery. I am not sure how he got that horizontal like working in there like that. For the longer vertical line tho, just use LauncherPro's resizing and stretching it downward.
Take a look at clockR in the market
Also these

Anyone know a good place to find free icons for launcher pro? I like the ones in the picture but I'm a broke college student. Not looking for cracks or anything like that just want some place to get some free opensource .pngs =)

If for personal use, (and if rooted) you can always download adw icon packs (tons of free ones on market), go to root explorer, find the apk it installed to your data/app folder, copy it to your SDcard. (This is easier to do on ur computer). Open up the apk with 7zip, find the folder with the pngs and copy them to a folder. I keep an "Icons" folder on my sdcard containing folders with various icon packs, for ex. Then it's easy to browse and assign them as you please (as custom icons).
There's also a paid app called launcherpro icons that does a lot of the work for u.. all launcherpro themed. They also have a website (community contributed) u can just grab em off and copy to your sd- nice launcherpro docks too.

Ahh, one more thing, you guys should check out a widget called minimalist text on the market (i think an xda dev). It's super clean, and he's been refining it like crazy. Ultra customizable.

Just checked it out. One of the coolest apps out!
I use Circle launcher and Folder Organizer
I asked the same-ish question myself a few weeks ago and after working my way through a few choices I found that adw launcher for the shortcuts and folder organizer were exactly what I wanted in terms of simplicity. I just checked out a few icon packs here and found some nice simple ones for the shortcuts.
I use folder organizer..
Hi all,
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and have set my Nexus 7 up so I have just one home screen with a custom wallpaper, and invisible shortcuts made using Desktop Visualizer.
I think it looks great, but I don't like the small folder that pops up, and would prefer a shortcut to a folder in the App Drawer. But I can't for the life of me work out how to do this! Surely this is possible!?
I tried installing Solid Explorer, having read on another thread that that app can do the trick, but I can't find the correct directory to create the shortcut to.
Hope someone out there can help, and hope I've explained myself properly!
Cheers!
