Nice. How do you get those simple, clean looking icons in your bottom row?

Nova launcher and the icons is metrostation icon pack. Probably gonna try out apex when I get the time, most seem to prefer that.

I also have this cool discreet flashlight widget, all others seem too big/in your face. It's ?extended controls" 1x1 widget, pretty sweet if you ask me. Also have it on my lockscreen with widget locker... here's how it looks with it on so it's easier to see. Might cost money, but I don't remember.

if you're on prime then start with nova. If not then come on over to apex.

Btw your clock widget and weather widget look really nice.perfect for your background

Haven't gone prime yet, but dropped my phone and cracked the screen :( so when I can afford the $100 deductible and get my new phone I'll start off with apex, don't feel like arranging it again for no real reason. And thanks for the compliments!

everyone should remember that icons can be made from shrunk versions of any pic you want.

I use a ton of icon packs but the one thing I can never find is the light blue ics messaging icon

I found one but it is smaller than the regular green one, wish I cld find a pack with the light blue one

And I can't find any pics of it either

try a search for Go Launcher ICS theme (think ive seen a few) and see if the icons work with whatever launcher ur on or if theres any way to find the icon pic u want using a file explorer (ive no idea if this is possible lol my mind is just wandering)

aww man. That sucks.I'm getting worried. Might pick me up a defender soon. But Yeah apex free just offers more stuff than nova free version.

It does suck. But hey, that's what insurance is for. Definitely will have some kind of dual layer case waiting for the new one, just so hard to decide! And yep, apex will be my next launcher.

I've checked before and haven't found any ones with it unless it's paid i believe

I only have the regular go launcher ics theme

Save it. Hold down the icon you want to change on your home screen. Click edit. Click the icon you already have then click select picture. Click the download section in gallery click the picture you got from me. And voila. Your icon is changed.

I use apex and this is how I do it at least. Lol.

Darn it, it would have been perfect if I could crop the black around from the icon and just have the icon itself because as is, it will only look fine on black wallpapers

Sooo close

Thanks tho :)
