I am trying to make transparent icons, however, nova launcher isn't letting me change them to a .png. It worked on other phones, anyone know why it isn't working?

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
Once everything is rooted and sorted out can a themer or anyone with the knowledge please make a guide on how to replace icon images on sense roms with the sense launcher, i know you can do this with adw and launcher pro, but i want to change them on the sense launcher to make them appear on the app drawer please.
Has anyone else noticed the stock launcher gets very slow/laggy when there are a lot of icons on the homescreens?
Try this: Fill one of the home screens completely with shortcuts to various apps, after each app try sliding between screens by dragging your finger across the screen, or try moving the icons around. after about 5 or 6 i find it to get slow, and after completing an entire row the lag is very noticeable.
Put all those icons in a folder and its back to normal speed. Anyone else notice this? are there any fixes for this?
Try apex launcher or nova launcher, adw ex, go launcher hd, go launcher ex, trebuchet launcher.
Stock launcher works well for me. I have Widgets and tons of icons n folders. No lag at all swiping screens and no lag at all with app launcher.
i have no problem with the app launcher just the homescreens have lag when i have too many icons.
You say with the stock launcher you have no lag? what version are you running and how many icons do you have on various different screens?

Does anyone know how to change icon in go launcher? or is it only available in the go launcher ex version?

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
hello ,I have stock gingerbread launcher and I wanna faster homescreen transitions, and faster entering in app drawer and also how to change icon pressed/focused color on homescreen and in app drawer (I wanna that invisible). I know decompile but don't know where and what to modify. Any help
Just use ADW launcher if that's your requirement. Unless you want to do it out of interest.
