Hello,
With the recent ICS update to XPU, I finally got to root my device without unlocking bootloader and I removed most of the Sony custom apps and bloat.
I use an alternative launcher, dialer, AOSP messaging apps, etc. I've also disabled the NXT lock screen and lots of other crap.
Now what I am trying to find out (with no success) is if it is possible to completely disable the NXT themes (Silk/Amethyst/etc) to revert the UI to a clean AOSP Holo look? I don't want a theme, but actual non-skinned Holo (i.e. holo action bar, holo background, holo toggle buttons, etc).
I would like to hear any information on this topic from those who have dabbled in modding/themes.
Thanks =)
You can Uninstall the themes but not quite sure if that would give you the Holo look. Bdw where did you get the AOSP messaging and contacts app. I've been searching but none of them worked for me.

I used this Mms.apk. There is a small bug for me — if you tap on the user pic the contact info does not come up.
I use exDialer for contacts/dialer, but you can't remove/disable the stock Phonebook.apk, as exDialer uses it to edit contacts.

Hi guys,I recently tried one version of widget locker but with no good results,for example,when I unlock the screen it is covered by "grey rectangles" until I move the page. Is there any solution for that?
I also have a problem with widget locker. When i set it, it doesnt replace my lockscreen.
I have the wildfire with stock 2.2
I have to use the stock lockscreen to get to widget locker lockscreen...
I think the problem is in sense rom. I use rom without sense, and widgetlocker work great.
The "grey rectangles" are the "HTC Weather Animations", you can turn them off in Settings (if your weather is rainy, then you see rain drops & a windshield wiper). I agree they are a pain! Without them WL works great on my WF (not rooted, stock 2.2 ROM)
Thanks,but how can I download other kind of lockscreens?In the thread of themes there are lots of particular lockscreens that I didn't find in widgetLocker,are they using a custom theme with modified lockscreens or do they take those from any site?
You make your own lockscreen with whatever widgets you like - same as a Home screen.
You get a choice of several unlock slider styles, or you can put 'Unlock' on a custom slider. Then you make up the screen with Widgets & Sliders as you like. Only limitation I have found is that you can't put any of the HTC Sense Widgets on the lockscreen

Use adb to pull the app from the phone, replace the original .png's with the ones from the thread, or make your own, and replace then back into the apk, then push it back into your phone.
UNINSTALL it first before you push it.
Ok,got it,but need I to root the phone to run adb?I'm asking 'cause I've original froyo and I can't root my WF!
Hi, I would like to have a system wallpaper (the one behind settings, contacts etc) as transparent so it would show my current launcher background in all system apps. Is it possible? I would like it to be so that I could change my regular launcher background and have the change reflected in contacts etc. I have seen it in ROMs, but not as a mod-type thing.
Thanks in advance
You're looking for the excellent "Clear" theme by Hierarchy666

Hi,
I would like to modify the system icons within my Jellybean stock rom; specifically the phone & messaging ones but maintain the interactivity ie showing a missed call or unread text message. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump.
you can try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&feature=search_result
or just install a 3rd party launcher like nova, go or many others that supports changing icons
Is there anyway to install the stock apps so that the amaze looks and feels like stock android? Preferably without flashing a custom ROM or rooting, but if it that's the only way please let me know too.
Specifically:
dialer, contacts, messaging, calculator, camera, gallery, lock-screen, mail, clock
I replaced the keyboard with swift, and launcher with Apex to make it look more like android already.
Thanks
keyboard - Swiftkey
launcher - Apex
dialer - ?
contacts - ?
messaging - ?

Good question, except all I want is the stock email app with exchange capabilities.

I like circle alarm.
I also like
elixir2 for awesome widgets
Lmt launcher for pie control
AOSP is over rated in my opinion.. Lots of the apps are hamstrung or only partially featured.
A rom is best.. Jelly beans almost ready via cm10.1 and joseglaire 's rom.
But neither are a factory grade rom.. YET.
I daily drive tmobile ics.. Factory kernel.. I can't have any functionality missing or acting skiddish.

What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!
Im loving this amazing app so fsr on my GS4 but I still have some questions without answers, even though it coukd be just a lack of experience using this app my self.. Jere I go:
1. I can't find a way to change the default wallpapers for cuatom ones
2. I can't find how to replase some of the default icons on the dock bar by my prefered apps (like Go. Launcher style, wjre it let you edit any app, for example in Go Launcher I can place the +Contacts app and replace its original icon with the stock icon of the theme being used)
3. How can I eliminate widgets and add eliminate screens? Almost all themes have a news widget whixh i dont want.. What can I do?
I think this app rocks but it atill needs more customization and easier acces to more options
Thanls dor this glorious app!!!
For example, I could manage to change thenwall paper butnas soon as I changenthe number of main screens inside the themer settings thenwallpaper became all blaxk and wont let me see anybwidget. I add
