Stock 2.1 Launcher Wallpapers

I've looked around for this and found nothing so far-so it'll be huge props to anyone who can figure it out!

I hate the ugly launcher that comes with HTC Sense, but I love the weather animations. In fact, I think they're one of the coolest things the phone does. So, is there any way to keep the weather animations and change the ugly launcher?

I'm assuming only HTC will be able to change this, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Beautiful Widgets has animated weather, but only after you open their weather portion of the app.

You're sure the HTC weather animations will still play if I use this?

I think chocmatic is referring to something different than what you want cnote...

 

[cnote678]

Yeah I think so too! But since he quoted me in it, I got all optimistic....

Beautiful Widgets has animated weather, but only after you open their weather portion of the app.

And, do you mean that once you open weather they play until you kill the app (i.e. they'll play even if the app isn't actually open) or they just play when you open the app? I like that in Sense, as soon as you unlock the phone the weather animations play. I want the same thing basically-I mean sure, an animation in the weather app is cool, but an animation that is just automatic is AWESOME.

I posted the launcher. Weather animation and all that should still be intact. Backup before flashing. If it doesn't work you can restore your backup. If I remember correctly the weather animation is in the clock widget apk file. I could be wrong though.

 

[cnote678]

Flashing my phone sounds scary. I'd probably screw it up...I might just have to live with the stock launcher.

Could you post this wallpaper please? TIA

What would you like to change specifically about the appearance of the HTC Sense launcher?

edit: You should probably just PM me and I can try to help you there instead of cluttering this thread.

* Download the program Better Cut

* Press on the screen until you receive a pop-up and select "Shortucts" then select Better Cut

* Normally I use "Activity" and slide through to pick which shortcut you would like to make. (It's a little hard to choose from cause sometimes it's hard to know which one works. For me it took a bit of trial and error). You can also use "Other Available Shortcut" to select from limited items. The other choices are pretty self explanatory.

* After you have selected what app you would like to make a shortcut for select "Change Icon" choose from either IconPack (which i noticed are if they were download from the market) or choose "Pick Picture" if it was loaded from your SD card.

* After you have selected your icon press "Create" and the new shortcut should be applied to your homescreen.

I know I didn't really go into much detail but I hope in some way it helped.

So this is something I have to do for every app I wish to change... I can't just change all the icon's at once?!?!

What do you guys use to get custom icons? I was using Bettercut but my icons change back to default everytime I get a new email/mms/sms. Are there other alternatives to Bettercut?

 

[GrindingMyGears]

I believe Better Cut is not working correctly if you did the update yesterday. I'm using ADW launcher and can not get better cut to work at all. Ive emailed the developer so hopefully its fixed soon.

I would assume so, otherwise, how would it know which icons you wanted for what apps?

There is no group change if that's what you mean. Really, it's a painless process, just do it.

if you dont have 'Launcher" then download below and follow those instructions

Thanks for the instructions, but the default launcher is no longer available if you did the upgrade. I am having the same issue as the guy above. Created an icon for the camera, but says camera is not installed. Any advice?

sorry i didnt know the update did that. I cant believe sprint would remove the defualt launcher as an option wow.


youre gonna have to install the default launcher again then follow my instructions

Launcher2.apk

I have a question. I'm using LauncherPro and i just got better cut. Can I put custom icons in my dock/launcher? I tried to do the long press, select better cut, change icon and when I hit create it just puts it on the home screen instead of the dock. Am I doing something wrong or is this something I can't do? I've tried to find a tutorial for this but have came up empty so far. Thanks for anyone that can help.

you have to drag the app drawer icon up to see the dock. then drag your icons down into the dock

 

[Zameus]

So bettercust is the best option for custom icons?

did you make sure "unknown sources" is checked Under Applications in your phone settings??

if so then Im stumped, they must really be locking the phone down, glad im already rooted and what not
