Just received the 1 1V, happy with it so far, can't see or find any themes, does it have option to change via built in app?
What app to use if not.
Thanks
Realised I can change accent colour which has helped, only possible via Sony home launcher.

How to change icons in app drawer without any launcher i am using x10 MP and ROM CM7 2.1.7, also please give some links for transparent themes like CRYSTAL....
The only way to change the icons in the app drawer is to theme each individual app and change the relevant .png file. It's a bit tedious and really only works on system apps.
I'm not sure that's actually what you want to do since you mention not having any launcher. The launcher is the app that gives you the app drawer. If you haven't got one on your phone, the only way you can run any apps is by connecting is by using a PC interface.
I'm guess what you want to do is the change the appearance of the icons on the home screen of the stock SE launcher. That's the screen with the four selectable areas in each corner. If that's what you're after then you're out of luck. Only third-party launchers (like ADW, Go, Zeam, etc) offer the ability to theme the icons on the home screen.
Transparent status bar
yes i better move to MIUI launcher....im using CM7...i have heard many things about making status bar transparent....is there any simple way to patch this....
That depends what you mean by simple..lol
In CM7 there may be an option in the settings app to do that. I don't know if there is or not as I'm using a CM7 port.
Otherwise, you need to modify the statusbar_background.9.png file inside the SystemUI.apk. Change that to transparent, but make sure not to change the pixel thick border or you'll get all sorts of problems, and that will do it.
This also depends on your launcher as some just won't accept a transparent statusbar at all.
LOL
i liked the miui launcher....but now i notice there is no miui launcher for CM7....and for the transparent status bar....let it go....something new will come up im enough happy with the CM7 rom itself....i removed all built in themes...no use for the colours inside just the desktop itself is lovely with widgets and APW....thanks for everything bro
You can get a semi-transparent status bar in Flame.GDX ICS ROM. As for a launcher? Id recommend 360 Launcher.

You have to install theme manager.Search google Theme Manager t-mobile flash download zip,flash through CWM and install every APK theme file you want!
Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI to give it another shot and im loving it all over again.
There are a couple things I'd like to know:
1. Can I remove the dock? If so, how?
2. Where can I go to learn about how to install a new notification bar? I want to check the themes/tweaks/etc.
3. How do I install new icons? I downloaded icon packs but not exactly sure how to install them, im still reading up on Desktop visualizer but im still a bit confused
Thanks

Remove the dock by installing a new launcher of your choosing. I prefer GoLauncher with miui.
Go to settings, there should be themes in there. When you are in the themes you can browse or search by clicking online at the top. If you go to the bottom and click edit theme you can mix and match your themes. Like notification bar from one, lock screen from another, etc.
I have never heard of desktop Visualizer. Icons are a subset of the themes. You can mix and match them too. If you go to edit the theme, then select icons, and click online you can browse just the icons, vs the whole theme.
You can also find some themes in the general android theme forum, not the gs2, the bigger Android section.
Well, look what you did, now you got me in the miui mood, I'm gonna have to switch back.

on MIUI, just open the THEMES app and download whatever theme you want. also you can customize the current theme you are on to make it any way you like....personally i like meeui dark with ics mixed in....
I'll throw in a plug for the ADW launcher, which will let you wasily do several of the modifications you want: roemove the dock, hide the notification bar and change icons via a long press of the target.
I only use Desktop Visualizer if I want to use an icon that's larger than 1x1.

Use the advice that was given above your post, 3 years ago... just install a new launcher and disable it in the app settings. Perhaps your current launcher can already do it.
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
Is there a way to change the color of the notification ui?
I open the "stock android" app today and it changed the color of my notification ui from Grey to blue without messing around with it.
Is there a way to change the color back to the original in the settings somewhere (I've been searching for some hours now, changed theme and all, uninstalled and reinstalled nova and changed nothing) without installing an app for the notification ui?
I have nova launcher installed FYI.
@EmbleerFrith
I think you mean the quick settings background. It changes according to the background you set on your launcher in theory. If you open MiFavor launcher without making it default, then change the background on it, THEN hit the home button to get to the stock Android launcher, it should fix itself. I did that before, and it seems to work
Honestly I'd love to change the whole quick settings UI altogether, but I have no idea how to mod systemUI
I have noticed that it only changes if I change the theme of the phone and only then
Yes There is
Yes there is a way. You have to decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk and do some smali code color changes. I have mine set to one color all the time.

can you make a guide or something? Maybe theme the B09's (or B35's) systemUI and share it somewhere? This would be a nice addition to @raystef66's ROMs, as an add-on
