Hi there. using Nova launcher, very happy with it. Just one question. Is it possible to change the default icons in the scrollable area just above the home button. That orange "Contacts" icon is horrific and spoils my otherwise neat home screen. Thanks, Chris
Try This
Thanks Neville, Ill check it out.
Look for icecream in playstore I'm using nova as you and installed those icons
Agree..that orange icon is so old...

I want to use the stock ICS icons in the nova launcher, does anyone know how to do this?
So when you add an app to your dock or one of the homescreens, a different icon pops up?
Do you have any icon packs installed?
same here please

Download an ADW ICS Theme. This one from KovDev works perfectly. Long press the icon, tap edit, click on the image, select Image File, then select ADW Icons or something like that. Then you'll have the choice of using that ICS icon from there. Works perfectly.
EDIT: You can use any ADW theme this way (at least individual icons) in Nova Launcher. I do it all the time, so I know it works.
EDIT 2: This will only be for individual icons on the homescreen, not in the app drawer.
If you download the icons, you press and hold the app with the icon you want to change, select edit, then click on the icon. From here it will give you an option to pick from the gallery or file browser, just pick the icon file and you're good to go.

Thanks guys worked perfectly. i feel so dumb now.
It would be nice to be able to change multiple icons with a pack, much like launcher pro. :-/
Originally posted this in general. then realized it belongs here. if any admins want to delete my first one in att note general, i understand. anyway...
So if you want to have an ICS theme for your note, or pretty much any android phone, follow these directions. And if you like it, hit the thanks button
What you will need:
Go launcher
GO Locker
GO Locker ICS Theme
GO Search Widget
Ice Cream Sandwich (Theme)
Ice Cream Sandwich Clock
ICS Search Bar 2 for GO Widget
Okay once you have all those you want to go to go launcher. when on your home screen press the menu button (Far left) click themes. then select your ice cream sandwich theme. Now press the home button. then the menu button. now preferences. then screen settings, then grid size. Select "Tight 5x4" then click the home button. now hold your finger on the home screen. click widgets, and android 4.0 clock. Then position it where you want it. Now go back to the home screen, hold your finger on the screen again, and select GOwidget. Now click search and select your ICS one. now we are almost done. go back home, click the menu button, then plugins, then go locker, and select IceCream.
That's all. If you need help just ask.
I use Go sms for my texting, and downloaded an ICS theme for that. Shown in the image below.
Here are some pictures of my Note home screen:
just thought i'd add that when you are trying to change the lock screen wallpaper from menus it doesnt show the ics ones.
to change the go locker wallpaper to one that doesnt show up:
tap menu
tap plugins
tap go locker
tap settings
you can change it to the wallpapers included with the go launcher ics theme that way, change it to others that don't show up when you try to change from display settings menu, or even set it to just be the same background you use for go launcher.

Go SMS. Its in the market. They have tons of themes for it

ICS theme
The only problem is that's not how ICS looks. (I already have this installed.) I had it on my old phone, and the widgets are a white translucent background, and a dark bar at the top similar to how Honeycomb looks, but not identical. I don't know where these themes come up with the completely wrong look.
I just switched over from an HD2 running AOSP ICS. I have yet to see a widget for email for example, that looks anything like the real ICS one.
I admit that it mostly looks like it if you leave the widgets out.
An example of what they should look like would be the modern ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets, but the bar at the top looks darker on actual ICS ones.
cool
When I restored my nova settings all was good except for the app drawer icon. The acon is a green android with a white box. How do i change it to default?
weird it happened but just found a stock app drawer icon and edited it myself.
Perhaps Respected Mam/Sir,
This is to inform you that I will surely help you with this!
Now every Launcher has an Launcher Settings so you have to get into it (Mostly you are supposed to press and hold anywhere on the screen)
So assuming you got into the settings now you have to find an option about Get Icons From another launcher(or something else similar to this). So now select your default Launcher which was there when you bought your mobile.
Note- This will change your icons as it were during the Stock Launcher rest all Launcher Looks will remain the same.

Just installed this ROM.
Its really nice. But how do I change the color of the battery, clock and wifi signal icons in the upper right corner of the screen from the ugly orange?
Also, I would like the change the color of the keyboard (which is also the same ugly orange).
I was looking in the settings for over 30 minutes and couldn't figure out how to change these things.
Thanks.
Theme. Orange is stock color for collective.

You mean settings and Themes? I looked there, there is nothing to configure. It only gives me one 1 theme to pick (the Collective theme that has an atomic blast as a wallpaper).
I installed ADW launcher and switched to that launcher. But even after that, the battery and wifi icons in the upper right corner are still orange. And in settings/Themes, it still gives me nothing to configure and only 1 theme to pick (even after installing an ADW theme from Google Play).
Some more suggestions on how to change the icon colors would be appreciated. Thanks.

i did but the icons in the right corner are still orange.
i installed some themes for Go Launcher. And applied them and the icons in the corner are still orange.
when i go on google play and search for android themes its seems like the first 50 listed require GO EX launcher. is there any good theme that doesn't require a special launcher? one that someone can point me to? maybe if i apply a theme that doesn't require a launcher the color of the icons in the corner will not be orange anymore.
i also rebooted my phone a couple of times, that didnt fix the orange color of the icons.

Not familiar with Go Launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher. I like Nova because it lets me backup my screen widgets. Saves a lot time when you flash every new releases. I use the Xperia theme with Nova.

I think the app "Rom Toolbox" has an option to change those colors up top there.
cheers brother

I hope I can get some help on this. I have been working on it for a while and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the bar at the bottom of the screen while using a transparent Nav Bar. I have been messing around with the SystemUI.apk, but I feel like it's more likely the GoogleHome launcher (which seems to just put some tweaks onto the stock launcher) or even the Launcher2.apk that is formatting the wallpaper like this. I am just staring to mess with coding, so I'm not sure where the formatting is happening. Any advanced themers/coders willing to give me some advice?
P.S. I REALLY want to use the Google Home launcher and not just switch to a third party launcher like Nova. Nova launcher does get the wallpaper full screen with transparent nav bar, but it does not have the features that the Google Home launcher has.
Thanks in advance!!
:good:
Android version of your phone and if it is rooted???
