I am really interested in putting a nice overall theme to my Razr, but I'm so baffled by the number of icons sets available.
All I really need to know is what are some of the themes/icon sets (free) that feature the MOST icons? I would like to have most of my apps already supported, and only make icons for the ones that aren't as popular?
I'm really looking for basic ones that will just unify my phone. Any ideas or suggestions? I don't really like anything crazy. Nice and simple is what I like.
Try this:

Simply incredible.

Looks nice, but I use Apex...
I was referring to like icon sets here on XDA that are good....
....honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about. But thanks!
Search through the icons database in the android dev and hacking thread.
Tons of icons to download in there in zip format. Just extract and apply eash icon to whatever app you want.
I too use apex.

Also use Apex and lots of the sets from here on xda.
Also got the "Tha ultimate icon set" or something like that from the play store. It has dozens of different themes that you can purchase in app for $.99 if wanted. I believe each style has several hundred of themed icons.

4 screenshots. All I am missing it the battery icons and a few random images here and there on the menus.
Looking for opinions or suggestions now that you can clearly see the color scheme and what the system text will look like.

I wasn't sure how an orange theme would look, not a huge orange fan, but you definitely make it work. Looks good.

Looks pretty good - coming from a guy who isn't a fan of orange.

Orange is looking good
Definitely going to use this! How long does it normally take to build a theme? In the terms of hours.
It really depends on how much stuff you theme and how complicated you get with your image editing. If you go right at it and do nothing else you might get it done in one day. Probably not though.

I am trying to wrap this up but.. I just keep adding to it. I am going to be including a lot more apps than I ever have. Think I am going to try my hand at making a Go Launcher theme too. If not, I'll just add a bunch of themed icons into the correct folder so you can change them easily.
Yeah probably the latter, it takes less time..lol
I want to replace the stock icons with illest theme icons from kgill7.. is there a way with out using a third party launcher to do this? Right now I'm using apex launch with white frost theme for the skin and illest adw icons. It looks nice, the only thing is that apex doesn't change most of the icons even tho its in the theme. So I been snooping with root explorer to see if I can just rename the .png and push it to replace the stock icon. But I've had no luck so far. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Not sure if it's what you're talking about exactly, but I changed the icon of a stock HTC camera apk one time. Used 7zip on a PC. I had a camera apk that had an icon I really liked, but a newer version of camera with stupid icon came out.
Anyhow, I put both apks on desktop. Opened with 7zip. Browsed the pngs til I found the main camera icon. (Think it was called launcher.ic.png) just swapped the PNG into the camera apk that I wanted. Didn't have to sign apk or anything. Just don't extract the apk to browse its files. 7zip lets you browse without extracting.
Not sure if this was the kind of info you were lookin for. Sorry.

I like Nova Launcher becuase of all the various options it allows and it also allows you to change out the icons for virtually any of the aps you add to your desktop - I personally am using ADW icon Pack and a Launcher Pro Icon pak (both work with Nova just fine) Not sure if this is what you were talking about - but I hope it helps -
desktop visualizer will do that for you.. change icons without using a launcher
Thanks I'll look in to that n yea I know how change the icons on the desktop just really want to change the icons in the drawer as well but thanks for all the responses

N yea I thought about looking through the apk to see where the PNG was, but in system/app on the root of my phone. Tried looking, but no luck. :/ guess I'll try to back em up n see if I can just re install.

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
I have found a way to actually change the icon, unlike desktop visualizer where it only creates a short cut of the app, this app actually modifies the icon to which ever one you choose. It's called ninjamorph. I take no credit found it on another forum just don't remember what forum.

thanks that seems to be exactly what I was looking for. only problem is that Im finding trouble tracking down what folder or file I need to replace inside these apk's. Ive been able to switch out some except for some like the dialer and calender, etc.

Let me just explain before you guys start hating on me... I recently gave my mother my g note bc she like the screen size.. however Android Oscar seems a little difficult for her and I know ios is easy. So..Is there anyway I can get an iPhone theme for the note? For any easy theme for her?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
An iphone theme won't make it operate like an iphone. It will only make the homepage and some graphics look like an iphone. If she wants an iphone then get her an iphone.
Or does anyone know a Rom that is simple like the iPhone?

What does she use the phone for?
With most launchers (I use Apex) you can hide many things. You can lock the desktop so she only has the homescreen with just the essential apps/icons on it.
Just like what rangercaptain said. You can get all different kind of launchers like apex, nova, golauncher etc and download the iphone theme and make the note looks like iphone. Put all the apps she will use on the desktop, take out all the widgets and lock it. There you go. Problem solved.
what about Miui, ROM? I know there is not a lot of support in the thread for MiUi, but it has the look, ??
there is an iphone like theme for miui, the thread links are in my signature, you can access the super GNote page via my sig picture.

That's JoyOS, don't know if that specific port is the one for your phone though. (I'm on Tapatalk, so I'm not getting the reverse directory links indicating device or carriers.)
Sounds like it might be the closest thing to what you're asking for on an Android device until someone manages an iOS port like OSX86...

Try Espier Launcher in the play store. It's a replacement launcher that replicates the look of iOS homescreens.

That pretty much covers it. Where would one go to find some of those "signature" wallpapers that phones get advertised/modelled/demo'ed with? For example, the Droid Incredible's famous "Red Swirl" wallpaper, the One X's "Hillside" wallpaper, or the different Droid Eyes as NON-Live Wallpapers. I know that you can find them from system dumps sometimes, but where is a good place to find a majority of these wallpapers?
Thanks for the help!

search for kovdev wallpapers on google play and u can get all the wallpapers of latest mobile phones:

or check respective phones threads on xda to get these wallpapers
Thanks for the kovdev info! That's what I needed. Any idea where I can get the different droid eye walls? Those are the only ones that seem to be missing. Like the D1, D2, DX, RAZR, Pro, and Incredible eyes. Essentially a screenshot of their boot animations

I have been running Buzz laucher for some time now and just recently got a beta code to use Themer. My question would be what are the differences? So far I feel they are quite similar with the exception of Buzz having more features because it has been around longer.
Thoughts?
I dunno but if you wanna give up that code, let me know! I'll take it!

One major difference that I found out was that Buzz launcher consumes over 100MB Memory(without any widget) and Themer takes about 40-50MB even on high end theme ...
Also even in Beta stage Themer is much smoother than Buzz (transition animations).
So I guess Themer has better memory management .
Also Themer will have more Quality and Detailed Theme Gallery than Buzz (Because there are many Themers who have their themes on MyColorScreen also unlike Buzz the Theme is validated before it gets published in the Themer themes Browser)...
u dont need to download any external app like UCCW/zooper etc etc
At a first glance, I asked myself the same question... they are very similar in form and function... But I was looking for the 'widget everything' option and looks promising.
I have a question. I've modified a theme I'm using now, if I switch to another theme then go back will the original theme I modified will it be the way I left it?

Export your current theme before changing to other theme. You can get it back at Themer > My Themes > Exported.
Differences are:
1) Our themes are 100% curated. Only the best get in.
2) Themer is true one-click. User doesn't have to do anything to make the theme look just the way the designer intended.

^^ This - 1 click is literally all it takes. No further setting up of widgets is required, unless of course you want to edit the theme.
Also, with the simplicity of themer, I strongly believe that it will gain a massive community behind it once it's generally released. Plus, there's a dedicated forum on our favourite mobile development site too
What's not to like!

I see the benefits. I guess there are a few features I miss over buzz that I would like to see added.
1) Infinite scrolling of both home screens and app drawer
2) scroll transitions (more fun than fictional)
3) a less intrusive menu button capture
I also think it would be great to have an option to retain the AOSP like play store icon in the top corner of the app drawer.
Edit: One more thing I would like to see is the ability to use the theme based icons as folders or standalone app icons via the long press>edit option
Until Themer can handle my Nexus 4 in full screen mode I will be using Buzz for my themes (although I recognize that Themer has better themes etc etc).
