AOSP look on Note5 (OS-wide)! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

So, I don't remember the Note4 having this, so pardon my naivete if it did, but if you go into Settings > Themes, then go to the Theme Store, click ALL and scroll down a bit, you can find two FREE Material themes (standard and dark, I prefer the standard one). Looks very similar to AOSP across the entire OS (if you like that sort of thing, like me), especially when coupled with Nova Launcher:

What are you using to get the stock icons back? The theme changes all the background menus but not the icons.

He's using Nova Launcher to replace the default icons with the stock Lollipop ones.

Many Samsung themes are not downloading. Also Samsung themes remind a lot of miui themes.

I loaded the dark material theme... looks sweet.

Here's a few shots... I'm using nova launcher, so my dock looks a bit different than the TouchWiz dock on my homepage.

How does one move the app icon in the dock to the center? Is that something enabled by the theme? I can move the other stuff, but the Apps doesn't want to move from the right from what I can tell.

Nova launcher is how I moved it... can't move it with stock touch wiz launcher.

I'm running Nova now and have it moved. There enough features in TouchWiz now that I would use it, but Apps icon in the dock not movable is probably the only thing stopping me from switching back. Although, I'm not too keen on setting up a Samsung account just to get a Theme that looks like AOSP.

My setup

Would be cool if they could port it using TW as a base. Keep spen functionality and won't have to sacrifice camera. Doesn't look to bright having any aosp/cm rom on this phone anyways

Dont be scared. ADW themes has nothing to do with framework. ADW themes only apply to the ADW apk.

LauncherPro docks and icons?

Hey, i just wanted to start a thread about LauncherPro themes. i change my phone's appearance alot so i wanted to see other people's ideas. please post ur dock backgrounds and app icons! here are screenshots of my phone
btw, im using lockbot pro for the lockscreen
Here's mine.
Only the main screen here -- found some nice, minimalist icons. Not using an icon background atm.
Anyone have good sources for high quality icons?
Hey - any reason you're using LockBot for that lock screen? You could get the exact same lock screen without needing the extra app by simply removing the "HtcLockscreen.apk" (if you're rooted, of course). Check around the Themes area for more info about the vanilla lockscreen.
I know this isn't really launcher pro, but I ripped the launcher icons out of here to use with LP.

I recommend you don't remove the HTC lock screen. From what I understand it will screw up the alarm clock.
No Lock is an app that does a great job of disabling the HTC lock.

My setup
My setup. I only take credit for the dock background, battery icon, and notification dropdown list.
Nissan, is that a theme with the text instead of icons? Reminds me of Rainmeter.
I use LPP, but the icons are totally stock. I only got it for the twitter widget. That's the only thing I missed about Sense, but I don't have to deal with it anymore. I have a recurring issue that comes up every few days, where it force closes, but I'm not really sure what's causing it, and haven't been able to figure it out.

Well the ROM itself is CM6 Stable, I just tweaked it a bit by theming the Notification bar and dropdown list. The icons in the dock, however, were not my work. I found them while I was browsing the net for custom Launcherpro dock icons a few months ago. I cant really remember where I got them from though...
The desktop icons that you see (market, xda, etc...) are from Signals23's Neue theme which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799623 then I just used Desktop Visualizer (which can be found in the market) to add the icons to the desktop and used the widget resize function built into Launcherpro Plus to change the size of them. However, all of the icons in my app drawer are completely stock.
As for you force closure problem, I find that a bit odd. I don't use any Launcherpro widgets so I have no idea why it would be doing that. might be something you should ask in the development section. the guys in there are geniuses, unlike myself

Use a different launcher...? Would that solve it? Unless you're enamored of TouchWiz and don't want to lose it.
A different launcher does not solve that problem. What the charge does is make alot of the Google apps have that ugly theme. Its some type of global style sheet that Samsung implemented
yeah it is ugly. agreed. I'm using PandaHome (don't laugh) and yeah that didnt make a difference - we need a clean ROM.

[Q] Fitting more icons on home screen

This is probably a newb question, but I wasn't able to find it through searching: Is there a way to fit more icons on the screen in Touchwiz (like maybe a 5x5 layout w/ 5 apps in the dock like the Galaxy Note)? Or would I need to use a new launcher?
I know Go Launcher has this feature, but it didn't resize the icons/widgets. So some of the icons ended up overlapping each other on the screen. I don't mind Touchwiz. Just thought I'd take advantage of the extra real estate of the screen.
Touchwiz 4.5 (modified Touchwiz) has this feature, stock does not

Not by default, but you can tell it to resize when moving the phone from portrait to landscape.
Just click on settings/preferences/screen settings/auto-fit items.
I've found I actually prefer 4x4 though. It works better with some of my larger widgets. And makes my full-page sized Calendar easier to read.
