Possible to change app icons and text below icons?

On a stock vibrant?

Get Launcher Pro from the marketplace

And desktop visualiser

dxtop pro, long press icon for options. you may need to grab an icon pack. gl

what about getting the entire name of the apps to show up instead of fading off. There's plenty of room if a second line is used.

That only allows changes to dock icons...what about application icons?

You can change app icons on with Any cut or Better cut.

If you have Launcher Pro (Plus):
-Long press on the homescreen
-go to shortcuts
-applications
-tap the app you want
-a screen should come up with the stock icon and title for the app
-tap on the icon and change it to whatever you want (it will go to your gallery, so you'll need to have already downloaded the icon you want)

Automatically add apps to homescreen?

I know there is a home screen replacement that puts all your apps on the homescreen but is there just an app or something that u can easliy add your recently installed apps to the default homescreen

Does anynone know what I'm talking about?

Get CM7 Theme Chooser to work on the Vibrant

Hey guys, I really love to have some of the CM7 themes from the Android Themes forum on my Vibrant. I've downloaded a few of them to try out but it didn't seem to work. When I hit apply, my phone didn't look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021507
Please help me! Btw i'm running CM7 nightly 56 ROM

Well first of all, you have to be using the ADW launcher included with CM7... you can't be using another launcher like Eugene373's Gingerbread launcher... then only your top menu and icons will change.
If you're downloading the apk file you want, then simply installing it, you should be able to go to you apps, select theme chooser (multi colored android guy) and then apply whatever theme it is in there.
If it doesn't work..... you must be the only one who has that problem lol. Shoot me a PM if you still can't figure it out.

ok so the top menu and icons change. How do I get the rest to work?

restart the phone after you select a new theme.

i did that and only its still just the top menu and icons

Your not using adw launcher thats why. You have to go to ur home screen, hit tbe menu key, then go to manage apps. Somewhere k there you will see launcher, you eed to select it and hit clear defaults.
Im not sure if there is an easier way maybe someone knows

Simply converting it to system app doesn't make the app run in background.

But I think pushing to system/app will hide the app from task manager

basically if you press the home button when running an app it show in the taskmanager
if not its not possible....
what i knew is the holo launcher is always shown in the taskmanager...
Press Thanks!! BRO please

How to enable themes on the att lg g2

I share this gem with you courtesy of someone called Leftarmspinner.
TO ENABLE THEMES ON THE ATT LG G2.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything) and Later you can uninstall. This enables the hidden settings menu, which most of us have done one way or another.
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home > com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. Look for the setting feature_use_theme and check it off.
4. You can now use themes!!!! How cool.

Go to the op
Here is another way
Anyway guys, I found a solution to acces to the hidden setting without installing Launcher Pro.
Just get "Any Shortcut" on the market (here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oboenikui.anyshortcut)), then create a shortcut with these parameters :
*Application :* com.lge.launcher2
*Activity :* com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity (without a space between "Activ" and "ity" !)
*Action :* nothing
*Intent :* nothing
(See screenshot in attachment).
Then : create, your shortcut is done !
And you have access to the launcher hidden settings
