Post Screenshots for ADWLauncher (Free or EX)

Hey all!
ADWLauncher is well-known among the community here, and recently on the market, ADWLauncher EX became available and it is absolutely brilliant. Launcherpro has a thread dedicated to showcasing each user's beautiful desktops, and for good reason, as it too is a wonderful launcher. That said, I think ADW deserves equal appreciation, and with the new EX version available on the market, the features and potential artistry of it grows even further.
Please post your screenshots and provide a brief description! For mine ...
Pic 1: My default desktop. I'm obsessed with minimalism, and to achieve this I expanded the desktop (no dock) and used AppsOrganizer to create cataloged folders for my apps. In the top corners are folders for Starred Contacts and All Contacts, respectively, and the clock widget at the bottom is Minimalistic Text.
Pic 2: Right-hand desktop. Left-hand corner with SetCPU 2.10, and once again Minimalistic Text widget at the bottom. This widget is very nice, can provide text- or number-based widgets for date, time, weather, battery, or even static text. Very customizable as well.
Pic 3: Left-hand desktop. Top widget is Visual Bookmarks, bottom widget is Android Agenda Widget, both customized to match other widgets.
All widgets described are available for free on the market. But please share your own pictures and descriptions of ADW!

ADW Ex, Beautiful Widgets, Gingerbread ADW theme

Adw settings -> general behavior -> system preferences -> show notifications. It is part of ex, but unsure if it is part of the free version.

You just need to find the different text icons that you like and then switch them out. It should be an option of ADW.
After you create your own or download a version you like save them to your SD card. Then select the dock icon you want to edit. It will pop up the 3 options and you want to select edit. Then you'll see the edit box pop up. Look to the left and you'll see a picture of the icon. Press that and you'll have the option then to select a different picture. Then you can use the ones you just put on your card.
Hole that helped.

beautiful icon styler app - any icon pack on stock launcher

beautiful icon styler (find it on play store)
this app can use custom icon packs on a stock launcher...
i tried the free version with dcikonz icon pack and it worked (sort of) - it changed the icons on the desktop although i think you'll need the full version of the app for icons to change in the app drawer as well...
nevertheless - this is a good step up

that's why i stated that i don't know how things are considering full version and app drawer...
personally - i don't care about app drawer if the desktop looks fine (that's why i use nova launcher, not the stock one)

REMEMBER. This is for those that want to keep stock launcher. This doesn't replace your launcher like nova. So I want to keep my blinkfeed but have different icons this is what I need. And who cares about drawer icons lol. U spend the time on your home screen. Wow.

Change LG UI Icons with Downloaded Icon Packs

Use downloaded icon packs meant for third-party launchers, on the LG UI from the Google Playstore.
First and foremost, a thank you goes to @mgbotoe for previously posting how to change each individual icon within the LG interface/UI.
Specific Post HERE
Tutorial:
1. Download the app "ThemeX - Theme Extractor" from Play Store.
This app extracts and saves icons and wallpapers from installed third-party launchers apk's. (I.E.: Go Launcher, Adw launcher, Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher and Go Locker)
2. Download and install your favorite theme/icon pack (from any launcher) from the Play Store. (No need to have that actual launcher installed.)
3. In the app, select your newly installed theme/icon pack and select which icons you would like to use. Then click on the save button on the top right. (Diskette icon) To save them to a newly created folder inside the ThemeX data folder.
The images will be available/accessible in your gallery.
4. To use your new icons, long press on any icon. Once you see the mini paint brush icon, remove your finger and tap the icon again , click on add new and complete action with Gallery.
Browse your Gallery for the icon of your choice. (Will be listed in a new album labeled 'icons')
**Once the icon has been added it will remain in LG's 'Icon Change' menu. Even if the icon image is deleted in your gallery. **
( I guess we will have to wait for Root in order to delete them from there)
Now repeat these steps for each app.

Omg, I had completely forgotten about this app! Thank you for the reminder. I had used this back when I had my g3.

Thank you very much!

Nice work @gerry_753 I complete forgot about themeX when I originally answered!

Can you still use a custom launcher? I just want to change the icons for my second screen. I'm following instructions but don't see the paint icon when long pressing.

I personally love the LG Launcher so much, I have not bothered with any other. With Tweakbox...its out of this wooooorld

I saved the icon. Found it in gallery, but when I long press the icon through the gallery I don't see the paint icon. Tried it also on the home page. What am I doing wrong?

Long press on the icon you currently wish to change. Like if you want to change the Phone icon long press on Phone and it will show you the paint brush.

Hrmm, from what you said I'm assuming you're trying to change your Gallery icon and you are clicking on the replacement icon image? So you need to have the shortcut you want to change on your home screen/desktop. (In your case the Gallery shortcut) Can't change them in your app drawer. And click and hold on the home screen/desktop icon (the app icon you want to change) for a second and the brush will appear. Release and press on it again.

Thanks for the tip on ThemeX, and for the instructions in general.
I was able to get the icons fine, but every one of them has a black background that doesn't turn transparent when I add them as icons on my home screen. Does anyone know a way to bypass this?

I use an icon pack called Materialistik. It themes the entire devices icons. Lock screen, second screen, app drawer, qslide, and home screen of course. If you install it go to home screen themes and select 'materialistik' and apply. The screen will appear blank, but trust me hit apply and it will work.

This is what is see. Trying to change my Gmail icon, which is nova already, but want it to be in the second display. If I long press it gives me the option to remove it. That's why I was wondering if it works with nova launcher.
Works with stock launcher, but it didn't change in second screen yet, trying a reboot.

I'm assuming it is theme dependant. It's just the way the themer decided to create them. Unless you transfer them to your computer and use like photoshop to make the black transparent, your stuck with it unfortunately. (If there are less than 20 that you really want to use, you can PM me the theme and I can do it for you)

Yeah, Nova Launcher is a completely different animal. With it's own rules and setup. (I know adw launcher allows you to change each individual icon ontop of any theme.)
This tutorial is only for people who want to change the homescreen icons in the stock LG UI.
***And also, this only changes the icons on the homescreen. Not the second display and not the app drawer. ***

Thank you and thanks @mgbotoe for these helpful tips.

I'm pretty certain that you could just add this line to the android_manifest in any decompiled icon pack and then compile it, sign and install the apk and it would work. Seems a lot quicker if you ask me and a hell of a lot less painful!

<action name="android.intent.action.MAIN">

<action name="com.lge.launcher2.THEME">

Not sure if the V10 is the same as G3, but they can be deleted easily, see screenshots:
Hope this helps someone.

changes only on home screen
but it changes only on home screen not on the app drawer .. do you know how can i change also on the app drawer? (without root):angel::angel:

There are some icon packs in playstore that support the LG home Launcher. Just search for them.
They change all icons that the icon pack supports.
I like the moonrise icon pack most.

There is no such thing as a theme for Nova Launcher. You can manually edit the colors for the drawer and folders, but nothing beyond that.
You can download themes from the Themes App from Samsung if you wish to change the appearance of the UI

You can't really 'theme' Nova Launcher, in that there isn't a button you press to apply themes. Everything is done manually.
You will probably need a combination of widgets, icon packs, and wallpaper to get the theme you want.
Nova Launcher is meant as a replacement launcher that is both simplistic and offering more options at the same time.

Play around with the settings, see what you can do. I've customised my app drawer so it's like the Pixel/Nougat's pull-up one, and applied an icon pack through Nova Launcher. You can then tweak almost everything to your own preference and make it the way you want it to be. I've also found it's a very fluid, clean launcher.

pixel icon pack ,

Head over to r/androidthemes on reddit . You may find some nice themes that use nova launcher .

Darkglow is pretty nice looking

It's all LG. The icons are part of the LG Home+ theme and the launch is the stock LG G7 ThinQ launcher. I grabbed a couple of screen shots of the theme from the LG Smart World app which has the name of the theme. It is called E&M Firefly Lamp. The Rainbow Garden theme also has similar icons.

Oh nice.. I didn't leave the stock launcher long enough to mess with it..

Now the wallpaper is one I have had for a while. I did download the eagle faith the flag from LG Smart World because I liked it because it's patriotic and I'm a veteran. They don't have as many themes and wallpapers on there for this phone as they do for the V30 but hopefully that changes.
