Is there a way to force ADW to use the default system icons? I'm using MIUI and I have my own icon pack made for MIUI (a .mtz theme), which is based off the Edius HD icons (which are not yet available as an ADW.EX icon theme). All of the other launchers use the system icons from my MIUI theme (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro) but ADW.EX uses it's own set, and there is no option to use the "default" ones...
I'd really need a solution for this, because I don't want to manually port all 500 of the icons over to ADW.EX, since it's icon notation is a bit different... (i.e. com.facebook.katana.png -> com_facebook_katana_loginactivity.png)
I was literally just wondering the exact same thong! Let me know if you find anything?

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.
if use buildin sense launcher it got only 6 icons deducted clock space
Im wondering if there are any application or any method can make desktop icon smaller while using sense UI as launcher, currently i can only use other custom launcher to make it smaller, cause i want to put more app on desktop, but the problem is so many wiget are combined with sense UI, so if i use other launcher instead of genuine stock launcher those wiget will be extincted
Hi,
you can add app icons to other homescreens, or you can add a folder to youz homescreen and add apps to the folder.
Hi,
i just stumbled upon multicon, which lets you place 4 icons in the place of which now is 1 icon. Have a look at it:

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

How to change icons in app drawer without any launcher i am using x10 MP and ROM CM7 2.1.7, also please give some links for transparent themes like CRYSTAL....
The only way to change the icons in the app drawer is to theme each individual app and change the relevant .png file. It's a bit tedious and really only works on system apps.
I'm not sure that's actually what you want to do since you mention not having any launcher. The launcher is the app that gives you the app drawer. If you haven't got one on your phone, the only way you can run any apps is by connecting is by using a PC interface.
I'm guess what you want to do is the change the appearance of the icons on the home screen of the stock SE launcher. That's the screen with the four selectable areas in each corner. If that's what you're after then you're out of luck. Only third-party launchers (like ADW, Go, Zeam, etc) offer the ability to theme the icons on the home screen.
Transparent status bar
yes i better move to MIUI launcher....im using CM7...i have heard many things about making status bar transparent....is there any simple way to patch this....
That depends what you mean by simple..lol
In CM7 there may be an option in the settings app to do that. I don't know if there is or not as I'm using a CM7 port.
Otherwise, you need to modify the statusbar_background.9.png file inside the SystemUI.apk. Change that to transparent, but make sure not to change the pixel thick border or you'll get all sorts of problems, and that will do it.
This also depends on your launcher as some just won't accept a transparent statusbar at all.
LOL
i liked the miui launcher....but now i notice there is no miui launcher for CM7....and for the transparent status bar....let it go....something new will come up im enough happy with the CM7 rom itself....i removed all built in themes...no use for the colours inside just the desktop itself is lovely with widgets and APW....thanks for everything bro
You can get a semi-transparent status bar in Flame.GDX ICS ROM. As for a launcher? Id recommend 360 Launcher.

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
