i got Stock rom whit som updates.. how to install on stock roms?
@jimminez - if you're not really too techie (like me) with android perhaps a new launcher from the market?
I've installed Go launcher EX. It gives you a lot more editing options such as what goes in the app drawer at the bottom and also enabling you to change the icon pictures etc.
Also has the benefit that there are a few themes for the launcher that are free as well. Quick easy way of making the phone look different.
If you put in some time you can really change the look and feel of your phone.
I've attached a screen shot of what I made with a few apps and pics (apps used are in the post your screen shot thread), alot of people use these and other apps / widgets without installing a new rom to completely change how their phone looks and is used.
Any questions then just ask
what clock you using .. mines look like this now....
bad pic of it .. the red is normaly green.

Looks good, I downloaded fancy widget (the free one) for the clock. Does everything I want of it.
Though am considering getting fancy widgets as they have different styles and can be themed
I would like to return to this topic. I would like to make a theme for the LG2X. Are they any software or something where I can make my own themes?

I just noticed.... with my framework ... the carrier name isn't displaying.... I assume its a glitch.... but lets call it afeature haha

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.
Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

I know what you mean... I had this mod started ages before we had a way to make backups and restore... I hate the ui sooo much... haha... btw.... in my screenshots u see the matching dock and icons... I can throw you those files if you want it all to match... its with launcher pro...

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Using a file explorer that lets you mount and unmount.. copy the framework-res.apk into system/app and replace and remount. Then reboot
Does this work on v20p?

I haven't tried. But if the stock framework hasn't changed much from froyo to gb then it might.
Backup and give it a whirl

here is the latest 360launcher and sslauncher apps. 360launcher is modded in english (not by me) and it has to be the fastest launcher (most beautifull too) i have ever used. It allows folders even inside app drawer, automatically puts your media in tabs inside app drawer etc. It haz a memory optimizer that really works and an auto power manager with 2 profiles (more options available if you upgrade the power saver for free from within the app). Overall it is bugless other than that the built in weather widget (which is really nice) recognises only chinese cities. sslauncher on the other hand makes your phone look like a magazine cover which is really cool. it has many pages on the main screen with the main page (or more if user specifies) being like a cover with highly customisable styles and the rest being pages with apps contacts(no screenshot for obvious reasons) internet favourites and so on. Both apps are free and some screenshots included. Enjoy.
edit:first 4 pics are launcher360. Rest are sslauncher some greek on it but i forgot o change language
edit2: launcher 360 includes a themechooser app with 30ish themes to download plus an unlocker app with really cool unlock styles (got to see tetris unlock screen)
I used 360 since it's pre-release and it's light and fast, but a bit laggy on drawer. Fewer options than Go Launcher but the stack transition animation make you feel like MIUI Now 1.5.1 is much smoother.
you can find custom themes by xda members right here:

Well in actual MIUI there is no app drawer so the icons are all over your screen as well....
I know, i use miui 1.12 on N1 and also NS MIUI 4 before i switched it to AOSP+ ICS since there is not much themes yet for ics version.
Also make miui themes are a lot easier than CM. Mtz doesn't require signing or compiling. Just zip your file

Really like the Suave HD Icons that I was using on MIUI but now that I am using CM9 I am wondering how difficult this is.
I looked a the numerous theme tutorials and it seems to get really in depth and complicated. I don't want to theme everything... I just want the icons.
Here is the link to the SuaveHD thread. Maybe someone could be kind to either explain how it's done? If it's too complicated? Or maybe just make it.

Download a pack for your launcher and use it. Else, hold the icon on home screen and click on edit, manually select the icon.

If you are using apex launcher...
tap and hold the desired icon...
touch edit..
tap the icon and touch select picture.
now you can select and icon from gallery.
I'm using Teamhacksung's CM9 build 14 and I think it uses the trebuchet launcher? Sorry, I'm still new to CM9 since I came from MIUI.
I'll have to look into that launcher. Is there performance degredation from using different launchers? I don't quite understand that part yet... all I know is that I installed the MIHome launcher and it really wasn't that great since it was mix-matching a lot of stuff.

Just download apex or nova launcher. Whichever suits you. Download an icon pack for it and then in settings of the launcher, select the icon pack under theme menu.

Hello everyone,
I really like performance of S5570 stock firmware but I don't like its theme. The menu options background is in white and not transparent so it looks very ugly. The app drawer of stock Launcher is only black and not transparent, too, looks so bad ! Theme (especially menu options background) is so ugly and it is the main reason that makes me switch to custom ROM.
So is there anyone can mod this stock theme, change menu options back ground to white-transparent (Example 50%), gradient or black-transparent? It'll be perfect if you can mod theme (color) like Touchwiz Nature UX.
So may you help me? Thank you very much !

Wow that's not the easiest request ever! The problem is: So many people using CM7 and other CM versions, and almost nobody cares about stock. I'm not themer, but try to find tutorial for this. Or wait until @A_U reads your post. He is the master of the framework.
Thank you guy !
Yup, A_U make ROMs with favorite themes in framework but he hasn't released anyone from stock yet

But I need menu options background, with stock rom we must mod framework-res because stock rom doesn't support T-Mobile Themes and no one focus on menu options background for stock rom
Ok so, i've expierenced a long ugly time with the Huawei p7....
I loved the way android lollipop had transparent status bar( Therefore i had an samsung galaxy s3 lollipop 5.1.1)
I was so mad that i couldn't have a transparent statusbar....
TIL TODAY! I've searched so much for this and now i got it working
ONLY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS > GO TO PLAYSTORE > TYPE IN METER > CHECK IF THE APP IS FROM GOOGLE
After that install it let it replace the wallpaper and you're done!! I've tried things such as , transparent wallpaper packs or theme's , not even one worked.
So now you have one.. i think comment if there's is something wrong ( MAKE SURE YOURE ON EMUI 3.1 5.1.1)
I know if think the wallpapers are ugly.. but hey atleast they work right?...
Somehow i cant post the link im sorry.
Btw my english isn't that good.... but you got a transparent status bar dont you :laugh:
If You need screen shots let me know in the comments
I can't believe. It works! (But wallpapers are terrible...)
