Please, tell me if there is a way...
Thanks in advance.

hi there
i'm afraid you cannot do this with stock launcher.
but why not install another launcher and theme it just like the Samsung launcher?

i need stock icons for ICS

Hey guys im testing some things out with my phone, and i've searched google and looked through ALOT of places, but i can't find any ICS icons pack, i would like it to be stock- no changes - any idea where to find?
Download a ics rom and pull the icons from the apks with winrar or 7zip
Ice Cream Sandwich icons..
Nice thanks
Ok so I am very new to this so bare with me.. I'm on ICS Passion v11. For me to modify the icons such as the dock icons, do I flash them? or is there a certain process I have to do to change them. Sorry if it's been brought up already. I did use the search and was kind of lost on how to go about it.

You have to use Nova launcher or apex launcher in order to change icons. Those are like stock ics launchers but they allow you to change icons. Both are free in the market.

I can't tell you which one you'll like. Search the "Play Store" (formerly known as Market) for "launcher". You'll have your pick. Install and test until you find on you like.

Dude, clearly you can't read, either.
Look - if you are dissatisfied with how your app drawer currently functions, try changing the settings. If you can't get the app drawer to how you like it, then INSTALL ANOTHER LAUNCHER to change your app drawer.
This isn't rocket science. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I've basically said the exact same thing in three posts.
sorry am a noob...
and how can i change the app drawer without changing the homescreen????

Can't I'm afraid. Installing a new launcher will mean that you have to add shortcuts and widgets back to the home screen. However if you switch back to the stock launcher they will still be there. Aftermarket launchers also handle the home screens.

x2.
Apex is by far the best of the AOSP-look launchers.
Thank you. Nova Launcher is very smooth and fast except when you fill a page of apps and slide from a page to another. Can you tell me if is it possible change lockscreen to another similar Cyanogenmod 9 to?

Question about launchers

When using a launcher, will the launcher ALWAYS run on top of the original launcher?
Or will the original launcher be disabled when using another?
What I really wanna know is if the phone have to work more with an extra launcher installed?
Will a launcher ALWAYS slow down the system? Maybe not noticeable on all devices.

The original launcher will not start.
Okey, thank you. But still a bad launcher could slow it down right?

Yes, just like any other slow app.

Launcher basic, what launcher to use and how

Hi,
I am new to Android just recently switched from iOS. I thought about using a Launcher on my GS3 but I don't know which one to choose from as there are so many. Besides that, how do I disable touchwiz when I run launchers? Does disabling touchwiz disable the motion functions too? Please advise thanks!

Just use any launcher you want from play store.. Some which come to mind are.. Apex, nova, Holo, go launcher..
Install the launcher.. Press the home button.. It will prompt you to choose the launcher you want to use.. Set your preferences.. Now the tw launcher gets automatically disabled.. Launcher had nothing to do with the Sammy specific features.. They are baked into the rom or the specific applications.. So you will not loose any feature..

i am using Holo HD and it is just perfect. very simple and fast. it has a lot of option for free.
You can use home button to change launcher or download a app that does the task for you and then u are able to select sure default launcher etc
Go launcher let's you customise almost everything and is pretty damn good but can be overwhelming or too much work some times for me atleast . My personal favourites are apex and nova launchers they are somewhat basic get enough customisation but also run fluidly and generally better in my experience. I'd definitely give all 3 a go and decide yourself!
