I have found some nice themes. Sadly, they don't work on the stock launcher and I'm not interested (atm at least) in using other launchers such as Nova and Apex.
I have searched on Google and I have tried icon extractors to no avail.
The extractors crash upon extraction.
Does anyone know of a work around? Either extracting icons or making a theme work on LG G2?
My apologies if I've missed something or if I'm not following proper etiquette.

Hopefully a dev out there will read this and know what could and couldn't be done when it comes to this (i have some basic knowledge on some android programming but when i say basic, i mean basic...) but as most of you know the google search widget is back on the fascinate and works correctly if you have an ALTERNATE homescreen and you must use that homescreen (no more touch wiz). Now I personally prefer the touchwiz launcher over all the rest (i had a droid 1, then got a 2 and returned it for the fascinate best thing ive ever done imho) and im sure that there are some other people out there that feel the same way but HATE bing with a passion, such as myself. Now, more to the point, my idea is to take the touchwiz launcher from another galaxy S device (or the one that everyone has been able to use for non-rooted non-galaxy s devices for a while now) and simply make it compatable with the fascinate (I tried installing it myself and it failed) im guessing it failed for some version number reason or something of the sort (maybe all itd take is renaming the processes? idk) OR perhaps just go straight to the problem and someone dig into the TWlauncher on our fascinates and find where verizon has made them block all google related search widgets/icons (I cant even put the google voice search icon on my launcher ) Any and all input is both welcomed and thanked
bump with this as well
why?
Once rooted, you can fix the soft (short and long press) search button, which pretty much acts in the same fashion as that widget. I understand the frustration of not being able to install any widget once rooted, but that's a good enough solution. I prefer the TW launcher too.
I would wonder where the system defaults to Bing from. Even running a custom launcher, and using the google widget, the search button on the phone triggers a bing search. Would this be integrated in the TouchWiz launcher, or in the browser the phone ships with?

You have to install the EnhancedGoogleSearchProvider.apk from the "Bing removed! Google is BACK!" thread to fix the hardware search button. The browser is also hooked to Bing, so the fix for the browser search is to use a different browser for now.

So it's both then. Done, and done. Replaced the stock launcher in system/app with ADW, installed the search provider apk, and am running skyfire as default. This. Thing. Blazes.

im looking for the samsung launcher with the samsung widgets. or a way to somehow magically use SENSE widgets with a different launcher.
any other cool launchers to play with as well?
i heard rumors of acer/LG/moto launchers, but have not been able to find them.
any help/links?
bumping so it doesnt get lost. please does anyone have any of the installable launcher alternatives? and the widgets that go with them.
It can't be done. You answered your question by saying the word magically. If it was possible I'd be using my vibrants widgets on launcher pro.

you can use the vibrants launcher on the hd2 but not the widgets.

You could try vegantab launcher. That's what a lot of the tablets use anyway. I like it better than Zeam you can theme VeganTab with adw themes as well there are a log more options with vegantab. Good Luck!
i'll give it a show. i just need a launcher that uses less ram than golauncher
vtl.launcher fc on me as well. ughhhh
I have a Fire HD 10 2017. I am wondering how to use a wallpaper changing app on it.
I love firepaper 500, which i use on all my andriod devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.firepaper.fivehundredpx&hl=en
I am unable to change the wallpaper to the firepaper 500. Usually, in the change wallpaper guide, there is a selection for the app on the bottom squares.
Thanks for you help!
Trying to figure the same thing out. Im rooted and tried with both Evie and Nova Launchers. They say its "not installed". Im wondering if it one of the packages i disabled from a bloat list I found here?
Wallpapers changing app
Probably not what you guys looking for but I have an app install on my Fire that change wallpapers every set interval.
I would suggest you try the app and download any images you want in a folder and go from there.
The app is called Wallpapers Changer by j4velin
Its ads free and works well.
It has everything you need but if you want change wallpapers by folder you can pay iap to get premium.

I found this neat APK on another forum for Amazon devices and it allows you to set the launcher for our devices. You do need to set the accessibility option as suggested. If this is the wrong spot for this thread I'm sorry but feel this device needs some love. I am running 5.6.0.1. No root but the Google play works ok and now I have Nova launcher.
