Has anyone tried to theme the default phone and messaging apps? Everything else is so easy to theme using a launcher etc....but it would be epic to theme some of the stock apps!

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.

Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
I love MIUI. I love the look of the menus, I love the lockscreen, I love the statusbar, I love the browser, the music app. I just don't like the launcher. So I use Go Launcher Ex.
But I also want to change the icons. I want MIUI to use the icons that are in the .apk files, the default icons. Now MIUI uses their own themed icons, and a square around non-themed icons. I just want ALL icons to look like they look on a normal android gingerbread phone. No squares, no theme.
I've searched a lot on the internet. So far, it looks like this is the best way to do what I want:
- Download a MIUI theme (.mtz) that uses "default" gingerbread icons, and apply only the icons of that theme in the theme manager. I found a theme called "Android 2.3" (you can find it by typing in "android" in the theme manager - online themes). And hurray, it works! But only in the MIUI launcher! For some strange reason Go Launcher Ex decided to keep the square MIUI icons.
So what now? How can I change the MIUI square icons to the default gingerbread icons? How can I tell MIUI to just use the icons in the .apk files, and not their own themed icons? I'm sure it's possible, right?
Ahhhhhhh MIUI, my favorite rom. I've noticed the same thing....once you're themed, how do you go back? Default theme used to work but its lost its defaultyness. I found that "black ice 2.3" theme in the online theme section in your settings is pretty ****in close....give it a shot

I'm new to CM7, and I'm looking to try out some themes. One thing that I'm confused about is which category of theme I need and what the differences are.
So, I'm looking to change some of the base colors of the UI, such as that of the dialer, overscroll glows, default colors of sliders, etc...
I'm also running LauncherPro on top of CM7 (on an Atrix, if it matters).
Should I be looking at a CM7 theme or a LauncherPro theme? And what's the difference?

CM7 themes will change the UI of the phone itself... status bar, noticications backgrounds, buttons, etc... LP themes will change only things in launcher pro like widgets colors/backgrounds, icons on the launcher, etc.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks!
Using matching themes for both, i.e. ICS for both CM7 and LauncherPro, makes the cleanest looking interface.
If you want one of the best themes in my opinion for CM7 Theme Chooser check out Lunar UI. It also has ADW Ex/ Go Launcher and Launcher Pro versions.

Seriously one of the best out there.
I was also confused between these two types of themes. Thanks for clearing that up!

I was wondering if anybody would like to make a theme for the JellyBean/ICS Stock messaging app, for me( all of android community), that looks like this: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/facebook-revamps-messenger-for-android-with-friendlier-chats/ (left picture)
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.
