I have discovered some ways on how to make my Legend look like it's running ICS without being on an ICS ROM and thought I would share them here if anyone was interested.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone during this process. All linked content belongs to their respective owners. I just made this guide so all the information was in one place.
Requirements:
-A CyanogenMod based ROM with the Theme Chooser app. Other steps can be used on other ROM's though.
-LauncherPro
-Icons and Dock Pictures for LauncherPro
-Internet Connection
1. Download the ICS MDPI theme made by Sonny Sekhon from the Market/Play Store and install it using the Theme Chooser App included with CM ROM's

2. Theme LauncherPro by following this guide. Be sure to use the icons in the MDPI folder.

3. Download ROM Toolbox Lite. Go to the Interface tab. Select Font Installer and then install the font Roboto. Once done go into ROM Manager by ClockworkMod and Fix Permissions. Reboot. Note: You may get bootloops. Just wait a bit and phone should eventually start.
Once done then you should be good to go. Here's some screenshots of what my phone looks like.

First of all credit to Suhel28 and MrRusch for making the work.
I have only modded Suhel28's framework a bit and used MrRusch's modtool to apply it to a X8.
Suhel28's modded framework
MrRusch's modtool Even though it says X10ModTool it works perfectly with X8.
The X8 wasn't mine so i dont have any screenshots. Feel free to take some and either upload them here or send them to me and i will upload it.
It is a framework with transitions and battery percentage mod and i have changed many of the pictures with new better looking ones.
If i am stepping on somebodys toes with this please let me know and i will delete it at once.

You dont mod it with this one. Just mod it with 7zip and then use this tool to push it to your phone.
It is described in the link how it works

There's no transparency for the icons.
I've tested it, look here.

What homescreen are you using?
Hey I just updated to the latest build of apex launcher I believe it is 1.2.0beta1. I see that they've added in theme support and I was wondering if anyone has tried using it at all. If you have what themes worked for you and where did you get them? I tried searching apex themes on market but didn't find anything. I realize it's a beta so there probably aren't many themes available if at all but if there are any I'd like to know.

I assume none are finished at this point considering theme support was just released.
But you can use GoLauncher & ADW themes.
For example Ubuntu theme.

Oooohhhh so all of the adw themes will work. Thanks for the insight lilchris.

And how do we apply those themes I don't see an option
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
First you need pro version.
After you download Go/ADW themes, then hit menu in desktop or go to apex settings and click on theme settings, pick one and hit apply.
If you have free version, then you have to manually switch each icon from the pack you downloaded.
Welcome to my 2nd theming thread
Since I'm the kind of person that likes to change his phone looks all the time I decided to change the main apps icons and share it with you guys.
This is the first one but I'm going to work on more.
Hope you guys like it! If you do don't forget to say thanks!
It works on Pureness rom but I'm pretty sure It will work any 4.0.4 rom!

Most wallpapers will be where metalfan pointed out but sometimes if a ROM has multiple built in Themes (this is for Sense based ROMs) then the specific wallpaper will be inside the APK for that said theme.
For example, my theme replaces Matte.apk so if you wanted the wallpaper that comes with it you would just open up the apk (for this scenario any zip/rar app will work, like 7zip or winrar) and then go into assets/image/ and the wallpaper will be in there. Like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I know this isn't exactly what you asked for but it's very related and some 'theme ROMs' stash specific wallpapers in the skin apks.
Good call Racer, and you're welcome evo

Its in the settings for the lockscreen called custom app starter where you can add an extra app to open when unlocking screen what rom are you using?

Yes. i have added the voice search, but I just want the google logo
I'm using the Xperia s ics 005.
So there is no solution?
Only thing I can think of it has been modified through somesort of transfer of icons to show up like that unless someone knows how to do it correctly I'm using mm cm7 2.3.7 rom and can't find anything in the cyanogenmod settings on lockscreen for icon changes

I'm using cm9 which is the ics. Yours is gingerbread.
Solution found. Please lock it
Please lock the thread. I found the logo, by downloading the holo locker, extracting the apk and choosing the image.
