I think that this site is what you need
http://www.downloadonline.info/2013/02/23/lghome3-theme-download/
I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what exactly is the LGhome3 and what will change if I use one of the one's that where linked above me? I see there is LGhome.JB4.apk and some others. I think i have an idea what LGhome3 is, but i guess im not exactly sure. Lol. Thanks in advance.

LGHome3 is the version of the LGHome Launcher that as far as I know, LG make it for ICS and partially upgraded with the 4.1.2 upgrade (It just add some wallpapers and some basic changes to the widgets). The LGHome.JB4.apk that you saw was a port from somebody in the community to make it available for 4.2 since the other versions FC and wouldn't work properly. Currently that port works partially and for 4.2 and FC when you try some things.
You can also see another version of the LGHome in the market called Simple Home by LGElectronics ( http://goo.gl/7eAVz ) and I think it was the version 2 since it doesn't have an app drawer, don't came with the widgets and it's compatible with Froyo 2.2.
About the themes you were looking for, LGHome has themes since version 2. Some carriers like AT&T block all the themes (I don't know why!) or only left 1 or 2 in their deploy, but they could be found at the Korean and Japanese ROMs.
Looking for a LGHome port to 4.2 I found some themes that work at http://goo.gl/bjjjr
Also found this other page where there's a link to download 10 themes for the LGHome at http://goo.gl/mKeIm
Please take note that to those themes to work properly they have to be installed in the /System/App folder (Need root access) and not in the /Data/App folder where the apps normally install when you use the installation wizard opening the apk directly. The links I provided previously have a very good tutorial of how to install them in a way that they work.
Anyway, LGHome is a very good launcher but if you are looking for another experience about themes and changing the appearance try another launchers like Nova and Apex that will give you a very Nexus 4 feeling and are very good saving battery life. Also you can use Go Launcher that have a lot of free themes. Or if you want to make huge changes or get very different experience check buzz launcher or MiHome that have some really good themes and some crazy stuff.
Go out there and try them all and every time you want to try something different, have more than 1 working launcher installed just in case and make backup of everything you overwrite in case you damage something.
Good luck.
^^ wow. That was one of the best replies I've gotten on here! Excellent! Thank you very much for the great information. That was above and beyond helpful. Thanks again. Cheers :beer:

I've been going crazy trying to find a thread or a link to the market (I mean Play Store...screw it, Im still calling it market) but I cannot find this theme anywhere. I was just searching for themes around the web a little while ago to see if there were some good ICS themes that werent in the market. I found this one that is really awesome, beautifully done and I even think it added the ICS transition effects. I cant remember where I downloaded it from. It could even be a theme thats in the market. I want to figure this out because if this is a theme still getting worked on, I want to know about updates. And if it is a paid app in the Market, I want to pay for it. So if anyone has any clue about what theme this is, I will be very grateful. Maybe some of you are using the same theme.
I dont have much to go on, but the theme is a transparent theme. Almost all of the backgrounds in stock apps and third party apps are semi transparent and shows the home screen wallpaper. The default battery icon is a circular icon. And I'm attaching a screenshot of what it shows in theme chooser.
Again, if anyone knows what theme this is, maybe you can link me to where I can find it. Thanks everyone.
That pic isn't the greatest...but I think that might be the ICS launcher. Its really isn't the greatest launcher choice but its the closest I've seen to the full ics layout. I know you were looking for a theme, but that may be better.

Thanks. But I'm talking about a CM7 THEME that you install through the Theme Chooser. Not a launcher. The screenshot is just to show what the theme chooser shows when applying it. I know its not much but if anyone needs more screenshots to determine the theme, let me know and what to take a screenshot of.

Heres a few more. The dialer, Settings menu, and a popup notification. The background in those screenshots is just my home screen wallpaper. its not part of the theme.
When you pull apart a cm7 theme apk and repackage it, it will show up blank in theme chooser. Sooo.... it could be anybodies. Check and see in Play to see if it matches other ics themes. It might be sonnys. (Yeah, I totally said Play instead of Market.)
Hmm havent found one that allows that level of transparency.
Ill keep looking.
I'm starting to think now it might be a theme someone took and made changes too like was said. I looked in /data/app/ and saw the apk labeled as "com.uotkitchen.theme.icsandwichtransp026build318-1.apk". This theme should be available somewhere. Too bad I cant find where I downloaded it from. Its a very nicely done theme. I cant stress that enough. And it DOES add ICS transistions.

Hello all! I am currently running CMX with a TouchWiz 5 theme. I installed the TouchWiz Launcher port along with a few different zips I have found across xda. My phone has most TW widgets, sounds and stock apps. I feel a lot of people would love to run this ROM. I have no idea how but is there a way for me to generate a zip of my setup so that others could enjoy it?
What do you guys think?

Anyone that is interested or knows how to get the ball rolling please point me in the right direction. I am extremely happy with this set-up. Forgot to mention it even is running the SGS3 Camera Port as well. It's heavily themed.
please
I would love to contribute to the community. Just need to be pointed in the right direction. Similar to SVN?
The one thing I'd love to have on my ROM is the TouchWiz lock screen. My sisters both have SGII's and I love how you can flick away the lock screen

You can use this to make an update zip. Just put the apks in their respective places. The theme would probably be in data and the launcher in system.
The only issue I see is if this is the TouchWiz 5 theme you speak of it can't be included because it's a paid app.
Like the setup, i have been looking for something like this a little while.
Can you post how you did it in the meantime

I'm running AOCP 4.6. Is there something I'm missing? The other launchers work fine but I prefer TW Launcher. I've replaced the stock launcher and and when I reboot the phone, Touchwiz unfortunately stops not allowing me to access it. Any help would be appreciated.

I do believe that there lib and framewrok files that you need also. It would have to be a modified launcher for sure to work on AOCP. Which ones have you tried already?

Just install a new rom because obviously this one is not too stable on your phone. Or maybe factory reset your phone. Pull the battery out while it is on. Might help a little. If I helped, thank me.

First, the TouchWiz Launcher is a part of the TouchWiz framework of Samsung's semi-fork of Android. So getting a TouchWiz Launcher to work would mean running a stock based Samsung ROM. FlappJaxx's FJ-Build 12, Novena or BlackStar, for example, would be able to use the TouchWiz launcher because they are all based off the 4.0.4 Official TouchWiz ROM. It won't work on AOCP, because it is based of AOSP with CM and AOKP features.
Second, there is a work around to having the TouchWiz look on your phone while using AOCP 4.6. Download a Android stock based launcher; I prefer APEX, but I believe it will work with NOVA as well. While searching for the launcher in the Play Store, you can also go ahead and search for themes. Apex TouchWiz will more than likely yield the fastest result. Load the launcher up, go into settings and hit theme and then select TouchWiz and customize it from there. You will now have the look and "feel" of the TW Launcher without having constant foreclosures whenever you try to use it.

What you are attempting is difficult at best...
Touch wiz launchers are coded to rely on their dedicated framework found in Samsung TW roms.
The only method I'm aware of, to use the launcher, is by using the roms that include it.
There are several TW roms available, and they can be easily stripped down to a lean and effective build by simply using your favorite root explorer app.
Dumping the bloat is already done for you when using the Canadian versions of the TW build.
You can also use the N7005 builds we have too.
See the super everything thread in the general section, and I'm sure you will find a rom to suit your liking.
Read the threads carefully, as they include important information.
Enjoy, and happy flashing ....g

Hello kite, what you need to do is install apex or nova, then adb pull /data/app
In your adb folder, you'll see either an app folder or the apps themselves.
Nova would be "com.teslacoil.launcher" or something. You should be able to tell which is which.
Any app pulled is usually "com" then the developer account, then whatever.
Just rename it to Nova.apk or Apex.apk.
Put it in your system/app folder.
To remove the Sense launcher, delete Rosie.apk.
Don't forget to press my thanks button if I helped you!
