Best app for ROM theming ? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I've used MIUI and Avatar for our Phone and just love the ability to theme my phone. I tend to get bored unrealistically easy so i need this ability. I barely keep a phone more than a year, keep a ROM more than a month , and a wallpaper, keyboard,status bar, launcher, dialer, etc.... more than a day. So while i dig the themer-beta app, it's too restrictive. I make my own zooper images along with tasker and trigger functions, but they take too long.
So my preference is something like the MIUI themer which easily allows me to change the dailer, or the status bar, or the notification pulldown, or ANYTHING. So finally, my question.... What is the best themer application or themer launcher, or theme ROM?

News and Weather widget ?

Looking for the files for the stock news and Weather widget ? Running ADW ex launcher, and it doesn't show it for some reason ? Can I install those separately ?
To me ADW, is a must have on the EVO-3D, because it allows for customizing the amount of rows of icons, and having 5 rows high of apps is a must on the higher resolution of the 3VO, because stock, with just 4 rows seems ****ed up, like to much space between widgets.
Sent from my EVO-3D waiting for Myn's ROM
UPDATE;
I had an old apk from my EVO 4G, was clear/transparent News & Weather widget. I threw that onto my 3VO SD/Card, and all set
I'm also using an alternative launcher (Zeam Launcher) and would like to use some of the HTC widgets, yet those are only available when using Sense. What apk did you use (for example to get the weather widget back)? I imagine I can find it on the webs?
Does anyone have the stock non transparent News and Weather widget apk ? Now I don;t like the totally clear background, makes it harder to read, I prefer the black background, or even better would be a semi-transparent with dark grey background, sort of see through.
Anything out there ?

[Q]MiniCM7: themes that change icon colors. Any way to disable this annoying feature?

Some themes on MiniCM7 ROM change the color of certain icons, like system apps and certain market apps. This is immensely annoying, and since the theme doesn't have custom color icons for EVERY program, it just makes everythinhg look like ****. For example, I found a nice black and white theme in the market, but it also makes certain icons black and white, this combined with other icons that remain colorful, makes the whole thing look like a mess. It's just a stupid idea if you ask me. Who doesn't have at least a couple of "odd" programs that aren't skinned by the theme?
I wish there was some way to disable custom theme icons in MiniCM7.
Is there some way to do so?
I wish there was some way to make them ALL neochrome..

App Suggestions - Looking for a certain one???

An app like Action Launcher Pro that works on Gingerbread? I really don't feel like switching a fully undeveloped ICS Rom just for one app but have been looking for something like this...
Or like QuickDroid or the ADWLauncher search bar with the six dots in it as well.
Kinda like Smart Taskbar but with a widget bar option that also allows you to search within the box.
Is there such an app, or will I have to settle for Smart Taskbar?
Any suggestions?

A Few Things I Noticed Missing

Started getting down and dirty with Themer last night from a designer's standpoint. I know some of these issues can be solved by theming the majority on my home pc, but i wanted to point out some things that are missing that would make pure mobile theming possible/easier (that's what i want out of this or any theming apps. i can easily create the majority of my themes on a pc when going the apex/nova route, but i want to theme strictly on my phone which is what i assume is the main point/appeal of launchers like Themer).
OK, here they are:
1) Icons - I'd like to have control over my icons while theming. Even giving us an option to select from Themer's icons would be nice. As it currently stands, you have to choose icon images from and only from your photo gallery. If we can't import custom icon packs, the ability to select from Themer's icons would be great.
2) Everything Widget "Layers" - This is a great feature, but can be polished. I tried to edit some existing widgets (google play theme, wanted to put my own image/slideshow instead of the random google banner images) and once i put the new image up it covered up the "google now" search bar. There are currently no options or toggles to change layers in the widgets.
3) Layout Issues - When i am working on putting up new widgets the orientation is all wacky. Sometimes it'll stagger the widget grid onto the left or right page, meaning that it isn't centered on the screen i'm working on. makes aligning and tweaking the layout really tough.
That's all i've got now. Any fixes or suggestions are welcome, but i thought it'd be helpful to roll up some of the issues we as themers are having. I REALLY love being able to just throw a new theme on my phone at any given time and the available themes are all nice looking and pretty tight when it comes to performance....i just can't help but adjust and tweak once i get my hands on them >.<

Am I wrong...???

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
