Show us your Desire Homescreens...

You need to use an alternative Launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro, or maybe you can do this with BetterCut also (by creating a shortcut and deleting the name), but I have never tried this option.

Looks like Lekky is using ADW there. (edit - no he is using Launcher Pro) as am I now. 5 rows of icons is a really nice tool.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but after installing Launcher Pro, how do I access it? I cannot find it under programs or anything, and when I press on the home button I get the same reaction as before installing it. I am really confused!

Go into 'manage applications' settings and select launcherpro. Now select 'set launcher as default'. Download 'home switcher' if you want to switch between launchers easier.

Thanks! Got it!

Here's my current FroYo setup.

^ kilroy - where can we grab that circular battery icon in the task bar? Or is it a standard feature of stock FroYo?

 

[kilroy]

It was included in the ZIP file to change the FroYo notification bar from white to black (DeFrost version 2.0c).
Black StatusBar for 2.0

Is that Android Agenda Widget you're using?

rtb35, loving your Android man icons. How did you do that?

 

[Inno]

Agree, I love those icons!

 

[Mushhushshu]

Theyre these I think

[ICON_PACK] The DROID Collection_v1.0 - xda-developers

was using them before my theme went all emo.

 

[Inno]

Hopped over there, and their link is dead! Conspiracy!

 

[Mushhushshu]

Hopefully someone will update it/upload them. In the meantime there are more here

[ICON PACK] [MORPHS] Droidz Extended |Update: 18. June| - xda-developers

 

[Inno]

Brilliant! I will now spend the night fiddling and trying to get them to work lol

 

[Inno]

On the original Droid pack thread, someone had posted a link to an alternate download that does still work: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=manup456/THEMES/&file=105-Droids_v1.zip

@ kopkiwi

Got the icons from this site, loads of different style to choose from.

Royalty Free Icons & Clipart Stock Images ~ Icons Etc.

Hi. Do you need a separate application to implement those or would folder/app organiser do? Thanks!

 

[rtb35]

I used folder organizer.

Took me a while to figure this out, but if you go to Folder Organizer, click on the change icon button, there is a choice of four - Default Icons, Android Image Gallery, AndExplorer, Icon Packs.

You'll need to install AndExplorer, unzip the the icon packs, and then choose them. It's not nearly as elegant as using Icon Packs (you don't get previews, for instance). What I would suggest is to have the icons open on your computer while you're assigning it, so you can get that preview and not simply guess while assigning icons.

If anything, I like the Unity Icon Pack, though I might consider changing if I find a better one (really want a clean one that isn't too minimalist).

I've never used AndExplorer to change my icons through Folder Organizer. It sounds as if it is making the process more difficult

If the file is zipped you can unzip it using Astro (or similar) or connect to your PC and do it from there.

Then when you want to choose an icon to change you select Android Image Gallery from the options. It then gives you a choice of Astro or Photos to preview images of all of them. You can use either but I prefer the Photos option as the preview images are much larger.

looks like switchpro widget

That's extended controls pro.. You can choose between 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, and then cram as many controls on them as you want.
