I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).
this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.
here you go:
this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
matching dialer icon:
for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between
I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.
this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look
(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)
Pt 1
Pt 2
Pt 3
P.S.
here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme
Well done. Thank you.
Thanks mate!!!

Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract it from the apk !

Okay, so I got inspired to do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...after looking around in this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761517
I especially liked the cleaner looking themes, but wanted something even more streamlined. So I started by doing the following:
I thought that the samurai wallpaper was awesome, so I found it via Google here:
http://www.outlawdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/samurai_me_by_patleeart.jpg
..and hit it with the sepia filter in Photoid. That darkened it up enough for me.
The dock I found on Deviant Art here:
http://kimboprice.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ydmvn
...and ran it through GIMP. The only part that remained was the app drawer icon. I made the borders on the app drawer icon bolder, erased the rest and made new text icons and the simple white upper border.
For clock I used the DigiTrans clock skin for Weather & Toggle Widget that is available for free on the Market, and modified the widget background (simple white border and clock underline with a 25% transparency), AM icon and PM icon in GIMP.
To use any of it, just put the clock skin ZIP on your SD card in the appropriate folder and select it through the widget skin wizard in your Weather & Toggle Widget settings menu; the wallpaper is a no brainer; for the dock, using LauncherPro select preferences>appearance>dock background>custom image and choose it from the gallery, then use the included blank icon for the app drawer, phone and task manager apps.
There are two docks in the ZIP, a black one for lighter wallpapers and a white one for darker wallpapers.
Mods, please feel free to close this thread or remove any of my attachments if anything is not in line or if I've left out any credits. Everything I used was found on the web or in the market for free, except Weather & Toggle Widget which folks will have to download from the market on their own.
Hope some of your guys will like this theme.
Recently the "Metro UI" Launcher in the market has vastly improved save the fact of disappointing amounts of icons, and real proportion in relation to the actual Metro UI.
I've compiled the best white on blue icons for my use, along with full color tiles (WP7 isn't ALL blue tiles with white icons) using the "use image as background" option in the Metro UI selection interface.
To make use of these icons:
Step 1) Extract folder to Internal/External SD card on Android handset
Step 2) When Adding corresponding tile check "Image as background"
Step 3) For "Select Icon" choose "custom" then click select Icon
Step 4) Use file manager of choice to go to directory where icons where extracted
Step 5) Choose and enjoy!

Attached are the mentioned icons
Enjoy!
The tiles for Phone, texts, and gmail are set as icon and not image
they look nice, testing them out now. would it not be easier to make them transparent pngs so the user can still use their own colour? or doesn't metro ui liek png's?
I would, save the fact that metro ui automatically resizes icons to a smaller size not proportional, and big like the actual WP7 Metro UI
this thread is very similar in nature with this one

With different icons though

Would you guys like the transparent icons?
Launcher 7 works very well also

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think Metro UI is smoother (like slide for app drawer, the app listing looks better) and it's just more "professional"
hey guys wanted to say this looks really good. im using metro ui pro and i was wondering if someone could make a dungeon wonders icon for a 1x1 tile with whole image as the background.
thanks in advance.
Hey all
Over the past three or four years I've done a wee bit of theming, starting with my iPod touch 4th Gen (I swear Apple makes it harder and harder to theme with every iOS update!) and now with Android. I've gotta say, I like Android much better in terms of theming things. I've used Zooper Widget and Kustom Live Wallpaper, and this is just a spot to share the stuff I've made as I go and as I learn. Anything new I create will be uploaded to Box.
Some notes:
I use Nova Launcher Beta as my launcher
Please don't download something of mine and republish it as your own. I'm just like everyone else here and I like to be credited for my work and if you inspire me to create something, I too will give you credit
Constructive criticism of my stuff is welcome, but please don't be rude.
If a link isn't working and you want to download something, shoot me a PM. I can't promise that I'll get back to you right away (I work 35-50 hours a week at a Wendy's in my home town and I also have classes at a nearby community college), but I will do my best

Dock Battery Meter for App Drawer
Something I've had for Zooper for a while now. A 3x1 widget that sets centered in the dock, with the app drawer icon resting between the circle that displays the battery level (I don't really use it now because I have an Xposed mod that changes the home icon on my navigation bar to a battery meter).

Circle Clock
Okay, I think this setup will work for today at least A KLWP with a pie that fills in the circle with every second that goes by

A boot animation.
It's pretty basic, as it just has the Skillet logo and then adds a loading bar at the bottom (I'm a Panhead by the way)

Hello,
Im a new Z3c owner.
As far as I understood, I should keep the offical xperia rom (updated to android 6) if I want to keep the full potential of this phone.
Especialy regarding Camera quality, right ?
So, what would you recommand in order to get a Xiomi / Miui / iOS like theme ?
In order to :
- remove the app folder button
- have better app icons than xperia ones..
Thanks for you help
Hopefully this may help you. I use nova launcher for the exact same look you want to achieve. And the most consistent icon pack that works for me is pop ui. Once you select the icon pack in nova launcher, the icons will replace the old ones, however you can then change whichever icons that don't suit your look with other alternatives in the pack. Both are paid apps but serve their purpose really well. You can get the free version of nova launcher but you will sacrifice certain things like changing icon size and icon notification badges. You will need the teslaunread app as well to get the badge notifications. If you want an exact clone of ios you can download png icon packs from deviant art and replicate the status bar with an xposed module called Flat Style Bar Indicators. But all that will probably turn you into an obsessive ios freak lol, plus it requires too much time and effort. I love the freedom of android but I love the look of ios, so I manage to get the best of both on my z3 compact.

*edit* as far as the app drawer goes, you have 3 options... 1) You could just remove it and forget about all the apps you don't use. 2) you could just change the app drawer icon to a folder icon and just think of it as a folder which houses all of your unnecessary apps. 3) nova launcher 5 Beta allows you to access the app drawer by swiping up from the dock.
Hope this helps.
Ok, it's a little crude and you loose the labels, but it is simple and no need for any programming or special skills.
So, my Tab 2 P3100 is now running CyanogenMod 12.1 with Nova Launcher and Theme is Black Accent.
In Nova you can't rearrange the icons in the App Drawer in so many ways.
This is a way to be a liitle more creative.
You need an Icon pack that gives you the option to not have an icon at all.
In my case it's Lines.
However, I want other icons, so I also have Monoic.
You also need a number of apps that you never will use.
How it looks in my Tab:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ordinary Lock Screen
..................................................
Left Home Screen.......Middle(default).......Right Home Screen
As you can see my Home Screens are off center to the right, but that is easy since Nova let's you place the icons how ever you want.
So I chose an app grid with 1 extra unused column. I can have labels here, but I don't want to.
....................
Drawer coming up...........Up
To get the same look and keep the icons from the red lines I need an extra column here too.
But Nova will put icons there. And in alphabetical order...
I have renamed apps that I don't use or need and with Lines Icon Pack they got an empty space instead of an image.
In the last row I made one more app "invisible" to center the icons under the others.
Later I may add 2 usable apps to get a full bottom row.
Depending on widgets and number of apps and also the background image, it takes some trial'n'error to find
what app grid you need.
You might even need to install some small garbage app just to make it invisible :laugh:
Edit:
Another way to use the drawer with hidden icons is probably covered somewhere, but if you have your ordinary drawer, apps'n'all...
You can take a screenshot and use that as background (but now your home screen is affected).
Make all icons hidden and you get a transparent "activation sheet" that needs to be pulled upp to use the apps you see in the background.
