Greetings! I just upgraded from and an LG V20 to an LG V60 ThinQ. Yes, I skipped about 4 generations, but the V20 served me well for almost 5 years, so I figured if it ain't broke don't fix it.
However, the time finally came to upgrade, and now that I have, I've found a lot of things have changed. One that I'm most curious about is the ability to change App Icons to ones that I designed myself. On the V20, you hold down on the stock icon, a menu pops up giving you the option to change an icon or rename an app, and viola! It's that simple.
I've tried everything I can find on the web on how to do this with the V60 and nothing works.. They mentions icons that don't exist, procedures that don's work, and on and on. Does anybody know of a simple way to (a) change from a stock icon to one of my own, and (b) be able to rename an app to a name of my choosing? Under Wallpaper & Theme, there's a section titled MY ICONS...but it's grayed out and I can't get it activated.
If this has been covered before, I apologize.; but I just had by V60 activated this morning, I've been working on customizing it all day, and I have a splitting headache. Any ideas, tips, tricks, or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any and all advice given.

I had a V20 as well. LG no longer supports custom icons on the stock launcher. This functionality was dropped, I believe, with Android Nougat. You would need a 3rd party launcher now
custom icons feature in Apex, Nova, & AUG launchers
It took a lot of will power For me to cut the umbilical cord between me and my LG V20. But I finally did it and got the V60 which I absolutely love. With that said the LG V20 was probably one of the best phones I ever owned and I still have 4 of them tucked away in a drawer. I bought it primarily because I I had not seen Battery replacement feature since my Samsung note 4. The other reason was the 2nd screen I absolutely adored it. The only thing that I don't like about the V60 is that with as big as the screen is, LG could have put in a second screen at the top and had plenty of screen real estate left over, with a high resolution that the phone offers. So actually with the dual screen attachment you would have 3 screens. Go figure, What a wonderful idea that would have been. Who knows maybe by the time we get to a V80, they might think of that.

Sorry I forgot to actually answer the question. Check out Apex launcher classic. It will allow you to change the icons to anything you want and resize Any widget to your liking. Great program I've been using it now for a couple of years. Specially like the screen transition effects. Don't upgrade to the pro most recent version because it has less screen animation effects in it. Very versatile program.
I'm using X Icon Changer. Works pretty well with stock launcher. It's in playstore.
if you don't want to change the launcher for some reason, and you want more work, then you could use App Cloner, or any or those apk modifying apps to change the icon to whatever image you want, plus also disable network Internet access and so many other options. a good one for the dual screen is forcing the app to open in window mode for multi tasking.

Arranging Icons on the desktop (or whatever the main window is called, sorry, I'm a 'droid rookie) isnt very user friendly. With my iPhone, if I wanted to move an app to a different location, the rest of the icons would get pushed out of the way. Last night, I did something and I was able to get the same results. Today, it's back to not pushing the icons. I'm guessing there is a setting that enables this but I cant seem to find. I did install a myriad of apps last night so maybe one of those enables that functionality?

It's the MotoBlur that allows you to "push" other icons/widgets out of the way because I believe stock Android just wouldn't let you put it somewhere occupied. Are you using a different launcher now? That would keep it from working.

What launcher do you have? If it's the default launcher I'm pretty sure it pushes them outta the way...I'm not sure though. But I have ADW launcher and it's kind of a pain, if I want to move one widget or icon into an other ones place and there's no room, I have to move it to an empty home screen and then slide in the other one...
Oh, and no there is no setting for this...
I have the Go Launcher right now but I may have had a different one last night (I'm working on 2 hours of sleep for the last 48 period so I'm kind of a zombie right now). I just checked the wifes phone and it does push the icons. I did an sbf recovery and reinstalled gingerblur 6.5 yesterday and I think it started working AFTER I installed a launcher but I could be full of it. What that launcher may have been, I have no idea :lol:
Forgive my ignorance here. I bought the GTab from Woot solely to learn about Android and tablets, I just got my ipad2 and thats the one I planned on getting the most use out of, but honestly I thought it would be good to have an Android tablet in the house.
Of course, the default OS was painful, so I put on TNTLite and ran some apps and was pretty happy. I haven't used it much since. I am still trying to find a way to stream video to the tablet (and hopefully someday out to my TV, to retire my laptop).....and am not sure which app to use. For Ipad I can use Air Video Server.
BUT ANYWAYS...
The default portal screen on TouchNTap was, I thought, pretty cool....weather, news links and time with your apps available on the bottom row.
Tell me, is there a similar type of portal app you can use on the Gtab? Is there a way to make it just be an alarm clock or a picture frame until you pick it up and want to start using it as a tablet?
TNTLite is cool, and I installed ADWLauncher (I think that is the name), but all I am seeing is now a windows desktop-looking thing. Can you use that front-end with TNTLite? Or is it just adding widgets to a "home screen" like a clock, calendar, web browser, etc.
Thanks!
Take a look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854175
If you want to alter TNT Lite to your liking, it's actually fairly straightforward - once you understand the layout.
When that firmware is run, it layers on a 100% stock image first, then I make the alterations later. You can alter either the updater-script (where the deletions are) or the /system folder (where the additions are) to tweak it to your liking. For example, if you want to keep the TNT launcher, just delete this line from the updater-script:
Code:
delete("/system/app/HomeScreen.apk");
That would add the TNT homescreen back, on the next firmware flash. This is just an example.

You don't need a "similar" portal app unless you just want it. Just sideload (move the files from your PC to the sdcard via USB cable and then click/install the apks from the sdcard) the original HomeScreen.apk, Weather.apk, Clock.apk, and News.apk - then use the Home Switcher to switch to the Viewsonic HomeScreen - if you want that to be your default.
I've done this since TNTL 2.0 because I also like the look and the options.
Other apk's that will fit into the default HomeScreen package are GroceryList and TaskManager. MediaPlayer will also go into the Viewsonic HomeScreen.
In case you didn't back up the original VS default portal files - I've attached them.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes the original VS portal.
Thank you
I'm going to be messing with this to see if I can get it to work......however, I do have one question, and its off topic:
Is there any way to put the Gtab into sleep mode the way that an ipad goes to sleep, so you just tap the screen to wake it up? Or have it so that way it has a permanantly on clock display or a rotating picture frame function with clock?
I'd like to buy the dock for it, but not if I have to hold the power button to wake it up all the time, I realize its a little thing but it is somewhat an annoyance.
Im running Themer on my Moto X (stock) and sometimes it takes several attempts for a touch to register to open a given module. (Favorites, camers, etc.)
Sometimes it works ok, but sometimes the screen seems unresponsive to touch. I had it show touches in dev options but even 'direct hits' don't register and open whatever the icon is supposed to open. This seems to occur across themes. I do have widgets locked.
Am I missing something here or is this normal?

Hi,
Try uninstalling Themer - delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes) - then reinstall Themer.
Let us know if that helps!
I have the same problem, both before and after doing what is suggested above. The pretty themes with really small or really close selections are the worst at it.
Thank you for responding, I'll give that a try. Though it is possible that with some themes with small target zones may contribute to the issue.
Thank you!

Shades of green and coordinate are two perfect examples. I'm using a rooted Nexus 5 running droid Kang. Beautiful themes, but even with the screen showing presses I can be pressing right on something and it doesn't pick it up.

Thanks for the heads up, will speak to the developers and see what they can do.
I experience the same problem on my Note II running PA.
Is there an official place to request features
Same thing, doesn't seem dependent on theme (happens across all themes I've tried), T-Mo Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2 (unrooted)
It's hit & miss, sometimes everything works, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 presses before it registers. Seems to be memory related because it generally only happens when returning to the home screen after leaving another app that uses a significant portion of RAM, though I do not have actual evidence of this.

I believe this will solve the non-registering touches.
I don't think it's grid/sensitivity related, I really think it's the RAM issue.

On my device it appears to be related to adding the dock feature or persistent search box. Adding either appears to cause the problem and then removing them causes the problem to be alleviated. I ran up my RAM usage to near 90% without any problems (without the dock or search).
Another bug I would love to see fixed is Themer retaining the dock and search features when applying a new theme. It is annoying having to reconfigure the options and add everything back to the dock each time.
Edit:
I'm going to add my feature requests/changes here since I can't find a specific thread for it.
App drawer:
Horizontal or vertical scroll options perhaps with a paginated option for both
Allow Themer icon to be swapped for the play store icon
Allow for the removal of the tabs at the top entirely
Launcher screens:
Allow custom smart categories and/or folders to be used by widgets (maybe the news icon could open a folder or category I've created to show all my news apps instead of launching the themer news app only)
Allow reordering of home screens (perhaps even allow adding multiple themes at one time next to each other)
Retain custom added home screen folders and icons when changing themes
Give end user access to icons used by the theme so when customizing an icon I can use one built into my theme (I like the dialer in my dock but I would love to use my theme's dialer icon instead of the default android one)
As mentioned above:
Retain dock and persistent search options between themes but also allow themes to better resize when those options are selected (some themes get cut off slightly or the aspect ratio gets out of whack)
Hopefully that doesn't sound too demanding. I'm just trying to help make an awesome concept better

Agreed (Bold), I would like the notification bar auto-hide to stay selected when I change themes. However, because each theme requires a different configuration to work/look properly, this might not be ideal.
For me, the problem only happens when the launcher is trying to "catch up". This indicates a memory issue IMO. Anytime the launcher is fully loaded and I'm on the main home screen(s), I do not experience any issues registering touch.
Perhaps that is the problem then. I don't use Themer as a daily driver just yet because there are a few thing I need sorted out first. The touch issue in this thread being one of them. Folder/custom smart categories, mentioned in my edit above, are another.
This also happens when I use the gesture system(Swiping up/down). Personally this is the least fluid launcher I have ever used, sad seeing that its my favorite.
I know themer is still beta but this problem has been happening for a long time now.
On the gestures, I agree there is definitely an issue.
When attempting to do the "two fingers down" or "two fingers up", it generally triggers the "pinch in" gesture. This is the only launcher I have experienced this problem with. It's not make-or-break as I know it's beta, but accurate gestures are very important to me with the way I use my phone.
I expect these will get fine tuned before they transition out of beta
I'll have to rescind my former statement(s). I did more testing
There are definitely issues with touch not registering on some themes. As I tried more and more themes, I started to see it more and more. And it's bad. 2-3 times minimum to get the touches to register, especially on the Tron looking theme (I forget it's name). There are many more themes with this issue as well, and it appears over time the more cache/data stored in the MyColorScreen folder, the less responsive the launcher becomes. It got to the point of being unusable until I uninstalled, deleted the folder and reinstalled.
This, coupled with the intense RAM usage and pretty aggressive battery drain (10-12% daily, minimum) and I have to hold off on using Themer for now.
I'm not against sacrificing one or two minor things, but to sacrifice device response + RAM + Battery is too much just to use Themer. I will wait and watch and as improvements are made I will reinstall and retry.

Hi,
Could you possibly provide us with some more details? What device/Android version/ROM are you using?
Also, which themes are doing this?
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3, running stock 4.4.2, unrooted. For Theme specifics, I will have to reinstall and test for a few days. I will get back to you.
I got Themer today, and I really love how a lot of them look, but I ended up sticking with my plain stock because I like to have most things on the home screen in folders. I tried making a folder, but it didn't work.
Are there any themes that incorporate folders? Did I just do it incorrectly or are they not an option? I realize you can go into apps, and then use the categories, but I'd much rather have them on my home screen.
Plus, if I have an app, like my flashlight, that I really need on my home screen for accessibility, it's kind of obnoxious against the pretty, cohesive theme, and sticks out. If there was a folder I could stick it in on the home screen that matched the rest of the theme, it would look better. Does that make sense? I might just be rambling now.
It's a really cool app though, I like that you can do these things without rooting, I didn't realize that was possible. (My noob is showing... )

Hi Lumosx,
With Themer, there are multiple ways of adding folders.
First, you can drag and drop apps from the app drawer onto one you've already added. To do this:
1. Drag an app onto the app drawer that you'd like in your folder.
2. Then drag another app next to it; a popup may appear asking you to unlock widgets.
3. Select Yes and open the Desktop menu and deselect Lock homescreeen Icons.
You're now able to drag icons into one another, creating folders accordingly.
Alternatively, you can use Smart Category folders. These are the categories you see in the app drawer, and adding one of these does come with some advantages. To add one:
1. Long press on the homescreen > Advanced > Desktop > Unlock homescreen Icons.
2. Long press on the homescreen > Smart Categories > choose your preferred category.
3. Tap the icon > Select the overflow icon (3-dot icon) > Manage, in order to manually add/remove apps.
Now this category will be saved for every theme that you use.
To change the look of a folder (with both methods), long press on the icon > Edit > then select an icon either from selected packs or a simple image. Let us know if you need to find an image/icon to match your theme.
Hope this helps!

I got it to work, thank you very much! I'm very happy with it now.
One more question: The only issue I have now is that there's one particular widget that tells me it's already added when I try to put it on the screen, but it's not actually there. Do you know what the problem could be? It came with the phone (Walkmate) if that matters.

What's your device and the widget called? We want to see if we can replicate this issue.
Also does it happen with all themes or one specific theme?
Lastly, is there room for the widget? What may happen is that a widget might take up the whole screen, not allowing for any widgets to be added. Deleting all the widgets on the page and try to add this widget will help us figure out what's causing the problem.
I have a Galaxy S3, the widget is Walkmate. It should fit, it's small and I have at least half the screen free. I tried when the screen was blank as well. The theme is Frosted Glass. I tried using a random theme as well and it still didn't work (it was Hi-Tech).
It's not a huge issue or anything.
Hey, themers!
I've been having an odd problem recently with my ADW. Before I state my question, here are my device/version details:
ADW.Launcher version: 1.3.3.9
Device: Rooted Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight
Android version: 2.1 Eclair
Now, with that out of the way, here's my issue. I like changing my homescreen frequently; using new icons, new wallpaper, new widgets, etc. I've recently been enjoying vanessaem's LipseUI and Lucent Remix icons, as well as King Rollo's 7null icons. Thing is, I've been having to use Deskto VisualizeR (DVR) to get the icons to display correctly, mainly because 1) Android 2.1 doesn't support 97% of icon pack apps, so I have to buy them on one device, install them, copy the .apk out of /data/app, and decompile the .apk so I can use the icon .pngs on my Nook, and 2) When I do [Menu > Add > Custom shortcut > [tap on icon area] > Select and crop picture] in ADW, the transparency in the image I choose, whatever file extension it is, always displays as plain black (which, of course, ruins circular and King Rollo-style icons).
So, my question is: how can I force ADW to display the correct transparency in icons, and not display it as black?
Thanks ahead of time for any input!
Regards,
Nookie
P.S. One thing I've tried is taking one of david1171's Minimalist icon packs (his Minimalist and Minimalist_Black packs are the only icon pack .apks I've ever been able to actually install on my Nook), decompiling it, taking out all of the actual icon pack icons, pasting in all of, for example, the LipseUI icons, recompiling, and attempting to reinstall the .apk, but I always have gotten a parse error, most likely because I don't know how to resign the .apk after recompiling it. Can anyone help me with this option?
P.P.S. Also, please don't recommend I update my Android version - fact is, on my device, 2.1 is the highest Android version to which any devs have ever gotten it.

He's ok. It's one bump per 24hrs. and I think he's done that.
Anyway, I wish I could help. I'm unable to replicate the issue nor have I used ADW Launcher regularly in quite a long time. Have you tried using another launcher?
I know this may not be what you want to hear, or should I say see, but the fact of the matter is, many icon packs and perhaps ADW may not be fully compatible with Android 2.1. Some features like how things are displayed on the screen and general functionality have changed greatly since Android 2.1.
@rkucheran and @vanessaem, thank you both for your input. I am fully aware of all that you stated, Ms. V, but thanks for ensuring that.

Thank you so much for your kind and insightful input - I'm testing GO Launcher EX right now, to see if it lives up to ADW's standards, and then after that I'll give Tickle My Android a go (it looks awesome!).
Thanks again!
EDIT - After running GO for several hours, I've decided to uninstall it. It takes up too much memory, too much RAM, and isn't as customizable as ADW (which I've had for years).
Time to try TMA!
@rkucheran @vanessaem @Ticklefish
I have solved my problem! :highfive:
By installing QuickPic, using ADW's "Select picture" function (versus the "Select and crop picture" function) and selecting QuickPic as the image chooser, I can now set my app icons correctly, with transparency and everything!
Thank you all for your help, and lastly, I'd like to ask Ms. V to close this thread. :good:
