Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.

Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
I love MIUI. I love the look of the menus, I love the lockscreen, I love the statusbar, I love the browser, the music app. I just don't like the launcher. So I use Go Launcher Ex.
But I also want to change the icons. I want MIUI to use the icons that are in the .apk files, the default icons. Now MIUI uses their own themed icons, and a square around non-themed icons. I just want ALL icons to look like they look on a normal android gingerbread phone. No squares, no theme.
I've searched a lot on the internet. So far, it looks like this is the best way to do what I want:
- Download a MIUI theme (.mtz) that uses "default" gingerbread icons, and apply only the icons of that theme in the theme manager. I found a theme called "Android 2.3" (you can find it by typing in "android" in the theme manager - online themes). And hurray, it works! But only in the MIUI launcher! For some strange reason Go Launcher Ex decided to keep the square MIUI icons.
So what now? How can I change the MIUI square icons to the default gingerbread icons? How can I tell MIUI to just use the icons in the .apk files, and not their own themed icons? I'm sure it's possible, right?
Ahhhhhhh MIUI, my favorite rom. I've noticed the same thing....once you're themed, how do you go back? Default theme used to work but its lost its defaultyness. I found that "black ice 2.3" theme in the online theme section in your settings is pretty ****in close....give it a shot

Hi... Am sorry to bother you guys... Its been a week that I rooted my wildfire and have it running on CM7...
The problem is...

And have been trying to get some solution for the themes.

More information is needed as to "default wallpaper and layout" ? as CM7 for Wildfire originally has a Theme Manager supplied with a few themes for you to change it. For more information on choosing the right theme or applying your desired themer, you may refer to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
No theme can change the layout of your phone. Initially, I was under the impression (and still am) that the themes cannot change your wallpaper as well, but there are a few posts which state that themes can change the wallpaper. (Yet to see it myself though - But, I am very sure on the layout part)
Besides, theme choosers use a lot of 3rd party apps like clock / weather widgets, minimalistic text etc to get their desired layout that best suits the theme. If you don't have these installed, how can it work?
Hey Thank you Xeno for your reply...
What you said makes sense...
But the question I would want to ask if, if a theme is download on the phone... Is it not supposed to load the wallpapers, clock, calender, etc. on it own?
I am sorry, I might sound to be a dumb A** but am new here and EAGER to learn.
I purchased a few themes thinking they would be fully loaded but to my surprise they werent.
For E.g.:
I Purchased the MattedBlues LauncherPro Theme from the market.
A pop-up came saying 'Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your devices screen size'.
From what I have read, I selected CONTINUE ANYWAY and Rebooted!
And all it changed was just the COLOR for Icons. Rest all remained the same, I mean the wallpaper, layout, icons...
Is there is a beginners guide I need to refer to for CM7?
Thank you in advance Buddy...
It's a LP theme buddy. If you needed the entire thing, you should have purchased the Theme Chooser Theme for CM7 (Which I have - And, it's fantastic, may I add ). And no, no theme can change the layout as I said before. Different themes theme a different number of elements, so again, your mileage may vary.
For the MB Theme, it is the colour that is the main appeal. They follow the stock look, but change the colour. It can be seen in the screenshots as well.
One last thing - Most of the theming stuff are for HDPI Phones, infact, the MB LP Theme explicitly says no MDPI version, and the Wildfire is LDPI. So, one's mileage with theming stuff will vary a lot between themes.
Basic Ready Reckoner: (What I have stated below are the "best case scenario". Some themes may change one or more elements)
- LP / ADW Themes changes the icons, the launcher specific widgets, and the wallpaper
- CM7 Themes changes the entire UI essentially - Menus, Status Bar, Default Widgets, Icons, Dialer etc. It cannot theme elements like the Lockscreen, some system menus etc
Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
I was wondering if replacing neutrino 2.7 launcher (which is go launcher) was as easy as removing the system launcher.apk and putting another launcher renamed to that.
I wanted to try this as a default launcher:

EDIT: I was also wondering, if someone knew how to change the default lock screen as well, or how to change the theme all together, since my launcherpro wasn't working to change the theme for some reason (after flashing the theme changer enabler)
Just download another launcher, install it, and select to use it as default.
Get Widgetlocker from the market to change lockscreen.
