Hi ppl, I'm looking for something different for my s2...
Note: Please don't advice to root my phone.
I want my all icons, everything to be changed to a different theme, like the nokia have different kind of themes s2 only has the go launcher app which just changes the background images and color rest everything is same.
I 've tried the SPB SHELL 3d, It's awesome but i dont want to use that as it's just full 3d.....
anything else can make my s2 look a really cool and funky???

Have you thought about trying MIUI? You can basically customize anything and everything
EDIT: why dont you want to root your phone?
Roms are the way to go along with custom launchers and themes. Btw i feel this is in the wrong section

I second that, however if youre not looking for a new rom you could always try another launcher like go ex or adw launcher, or even flash the galaxy s3 launcher

I modded the xperia arc launcher abit. I liked the original launcher but didn't like the look of the folders.
It has a working dockbar (visible).
See screenshots for demo (XperiaArcMod.apk).
Install:
Copy to SD
Uninstall previous arc launcher. (if you have installed it)
Install from phone.
Two more mods uploaded, Both have the regular homekey (I personally think it's ugly, but here you go). One has a visible dockbar, the other invisible. (neither of these two have been tested but they should work, if not i'll fix it ASAP)
Thanks for this one, working fine on floyo4, wondering however is there's any way to configure the number of pages one can have.
There is, unfortunatly it has to be done by decompiling it and changing the xml. You can try the two new ones just uploaded. I have not tried them myself but they should work.
Thanks but for me, they both just force close, no biggie, I'll just use a couple empty tabs
Sent from my x10 Mini Pro
Force close here too, only the first one is working. And would be good if anyone can fix the screen rotation
Thanks
Using this but I haved moded it about..
Changed the dock to transparent and took another appdr. Button instead of the iphone

m using de owian rom, 2.3 and ya obviously its rooted
In the gingerbread firmware for LwW and other similar series of sony, i see those four corner shortcut curves (which actually is not so good looking) how do i remove it??? okay i'm rooted and i run custom firmware!! but i just want to run a rooted stock without those shortcuts!!!
this four corners is part of the home launcher.
use another launcher like go launcher or holo launcher
alright then will it be possible to replace the home launcher of gingerbread with that of the ics??

Just install a different launcher. There are many free ones available on the play store. My personal favourite is go launcher.

Use This MOD ( Only for ICS )
[q] Searching for the ultimate TouchWiz Mod [changing icons & grid without losses]
Hello there!
I would love to use TouchWiz as my main launcher, but I´m really not into its look, especially when it comes to the icons. So my question is: Is there any newer possibility to change the theme of the icons (maybe into a JB/ICS theme)?
I have seen that there are some mods to change the grid in touchwiz, but as mentioned there - the result is a loss of the screen buddy.
So are there some more people who would like to see a "jelly beanish TouchWiz", e.g. with JB Icons and a 5*5 or 6*5 grid without loosing its functions like page buddy? I´m sure that this would get some high download rates over here
Hi there
There just happen to be these two mods made for you...
First is AOSP icons pack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930847
Here is the touchwiz laubcher mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923876
Hope it helps.

Hey Jamal, thx for your links!
AFAIK, the TouchWiz launcher you posted above suffers the Site Buddy Bug (he described it in the OP). Did you try it?

Not yet i am sincerely refraining from modding/flashing/rooting atm because of the withdrawal symptons i get
Ill try it when i get back in the rooting game again
I flashed the new hypernote rom yesterday that runs a modified touchwiz. It runs it at 5x6 which is exactly the size I was looking for. I was expecting pagebuddy to not work since I had used the above mentioned mod. To my surpirse, the 5x6 mod he uses works with pagebuddy too! So either I would suggest you try that rom out, or contact the developer and ask him what he did....
Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?
Also i would like to add that it isn`t my very beginig on flashing roms. Previously I had HTC Desire HD with plenty roms tried.
Please help

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box
http://galaxys3.roms-db.com/ also very neat when trying to find a suiting rom!

Hello guys,
Is there any way to install more themes to the phone? Without rooting, using a launcher or custom ROMs etc.
Or the only way to customize the look is to use launcher?
Thanks

Look through this forum for the theme creator and some themes someone updated. You might need root first though.
Yea I checked that thread but the program is in Korean and it didnt really work. And I saw those themes but I didnt really like them.
So the best would be to use a launcher after all? Because I couldnt find any other custom made themes.

Yeah. For this phone I recommend the following...
Holo Launcher HD (Same features as Nova/Apex, lighter on resources)
Launcher 8 (If you have some Metro UI envy, and make sure it's not the QiHang one)
Smart Launcher (Very minimalist and fast, use it for a week and you will be loving it. I stopped using it because it would force close every couple days)
Thanks for the tips
The absolute best launcher is Everything Home (beta), I promise you I have tried them all.....
New to forum, so i'm not able to post a link yet

Check again, there's an English translation patch in the same thread. It still leaves a couple of buttons in Korean but it's easy to see what those buttons are for.
