Hey guys! Recently I learnt how to use APK Multi-Tools so I experimented by modding my favourite apps. The results are awesome and I had quite some fun doing it . So, I would like to share this GO Locker theme that I modded with everyone.
Introducing:
ICS Halo Go Locker Theme
I'm kinda in a "ICS fever", so I try my best to make my phone look as close to ICS as possible. I'm also a fan of GO Launcher and GO Locker, so I digged the Play Store for ICS themes. A Go Locker theme named "Halo GO Locker Theme" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock.theme.Halo&hl=en attracted me, but it is only available in orange, which looks awkward in other backgrounds and suits MIUI themed phone better. The "GO Locker ICS Theme" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock.theme.icecream&hl=en suits an ICS themed phone but there are only 2 shortcut keys. The other ICS go locker themes are paid versions. So, I decided to "combine" the features of these two themes and *POOF*, and here you have it, ICS Halo GO Locker Theme.

I modded the original Halo theme so that it becomes white. I realise that white fits most backgrounds as most phone users tend to use a darker background. So white blends in better than other colours. If anyone wanna request another colour variant, just post here and I'll see what can I do. Do tell if you encounter any problems.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ensure that you have GO Launcher EX and GO Locker installed
2. Download the ICS+Halo.apk from here ICS+Halo.apk
3. Copy into your phone's SD card. (Place it in any folder will do, just remember where you keep it.)
4. Go to Settings>Applications>Unknown sources and check the "Unknown sources" (a warning will come out but just ignore that, this is no malware. If you feel unsecure, you can uncheck this after installing)
5. Use a file manager (I suggest Astro File Manager which is free in the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&hl=en)and browse to the folder where you place the .apk file.
6. Click on it and install. (For your information, this is called side-loading )
7. You're done! Just apply the theme by going into the settings page of GO Locker.
Hope that you will enjoy my theme.
Here you go, I present to you:

p.s. All requests are welcomed! I will try my best to fulfil them all...
this theme is great!! do you take requests? if so then I was wondering If I can request a theme??? I'm looking for functionality more than looks...
*1st I would like the Date to Spell out the month instead of just the numbers (example: Dec/December - 12 - 2012 instead of 12-12-2012 & such)
*2nd I would like the Battery percentage to be visible (not only while charging) Preferably with a Battery Icon but not mandatory
*3rd I would like the option of being able to view/access the music player similar to the default Go Locker Theme.
*4th I would like the unlock options to be Phone, Camera, Home, and SMS in no particular order as long as you scroll up to unlock the Home function
The design and wallpaper can be anything you want!! as long as its no to girly in such. Let me know what you think! any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Wow...that's a lot of requests...I'll try to make it but no guarantee...

Yes,that's only for sgs darky, but i'm sure that there's a way to change icons in the notification bar on almost every rom/device, what device are you using?
Would this work for a QVGA phone?

Dunno, maybe, becouse Desktop Visualizer scales down images ("icons") if they are too big and you can play around with a feature in LauncherPro (widget resizing). You can try, if it doesn't work, I could make a smaller resolution version, but I only have a HDPI device and I couldn't test it.

Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Layout Themeing.
We all have seen how themes change images, icons, drawables, colors etc. But this is the first time you will see how a theme can change the position, size and shape of UI elements (buttons, labels, etc). Never before an attempt like this was made in the history of Android.
Eg: "Close all apps" button in the recent apps list is on the top-right corner. If you are a left handed user, reaching the top-right corner on a 5 inch phone is not easy. With layout theming, you can move the position from top-right to left-bottom.
Lets take up a simple example. We have seen different version of dialer in different operating systems. By applying a theme, we can now have the exact same dialer in Android. Not only the buttons look the same, it is also positioned at the exact location.
Demo Video:
Downloads:
Contacts App (Dialer application) - Link
System UI App (System app) - Link
Iphone style (Theme) - Link
Circular dialer (Theme) - Link
Blackberry dialer (Theme) - Link
Recent apps (Theme)- Link
Install Instructions:
1. You should be on a 4.2.2 ROM, preferably Avatar ROM (because thats where it has been tested)
2. Push Contacts.apk to /system/app
3. Push the SystemUI.apk to /system/app (Eg: "adb push systemUI.apk /system/app")
4. Install the themes as any normal android application (Eg: "adb install -r iphone.apk")
5. Go to theme chooser and apply your preferred theme
6. Open the dialer and check out how look and feel changes which each theme.
What Changes:
1. In all dialers, notice that the Call button, Delete button, etc have been placed at different places compared to standard android dialer.
2. In iPhone Theme, check out the clock position on the status bar. Yes it is centered. We can move anything to anywhere.
3. In the recent apps theme, we have moved "Close all apps " in the recent apps list from top-right to bottom-left
Layout themeing will be part of AvatarROM soon and we are working on some cool concepts. We would love to hear what you want to see in layout theming. You can post your ideas in our feature request page.

Are you a GTA fan and looking for something to make your homescreen look attractive and unique? If yes, then you're in right place! Style your phone with a GTA V look and make your friends jealous of you. Download this cool theme now and make the anticipation for GTA V even BIGGER!

Any launcher that supports 6x4 Homescreen Grid (Nova Launcher Recommended)
* Instructions
1. Install UCCW from Play Store. [THIS IS IMPORTANT: You need to install this app before downloading this theme or otherwise it won't work. If you have already installed the theme then just reinstall it again after downloading the app]
2. Download this theme and and open it. Now tap on Install Skin button.
3. Use the 6X4 Desktop Grid and hide the dock under launcher settings (This theme can work without these settings but the layout may be different)
4. After you're done with installation, double tap on the Homescreen and select UCCW Widget and select the required widget as indicated by their name.
5. Repeat the above step till you get Homescreen as shown in picture.
6. (Optional) Select the Cube Scroll effect under launcher settings for 3D effect. For Nova Launcher - Nova Settings>Desktop>Scroll Effect
For adding App Drawer or Search icon on homescreen, use the same method as you used to add widgets. For e.g Nova Launcher Users - Long press on homescreen>Nova Action>Select the shortcut you want to add.
* Instructions for adding your own app shortcuts in widgets
If you want to edit or add custom apps in widgets then follow these steps -
1. Open UCCW app and select Hotspot (Lock Widget) from the menu option.
2. Turn "OFF" the Hotspots.
3. Go to desktop and tap the button on widget you want to edit.
4. Select the app you want from the appropriate Hotspots.
5. After you have done editing, make sure you turn "ON" the Hotspot again to apply the changes.
If the weather is not showing your correct location on widget then you can change the weather location by going into UCCW settings.

A - Make sure your desktop grid is 6x4 and the Width and Height margin is set to none in launcher settings.

Jolla SailFish OS Theme HD

The SailFish OS is soon to be released by Jolla. This theme has been made simply by looking at the images released by Jolla. All the icons and the skin has been made based on these images.
This theme includes both icons and skin to change the overall look of your phone.
I cannot guarantee this to be a exact replica of the OS but I will make the necessary changes as soon as it is released in the market.
All icons are of 120x120 px. On LDPI devices, the app drawer may be out of place, so I have included another resized drawer icon. If you see 2 drawer icons, that is because I included it. IT IS NOT A BUG.
This is guaranteed to work on Nova, Apex and ADW Launcher. Other launchers may support it too. But I will not support those launchers for now.
NOTE:
1. In ADW and Apex, the tabs in the app drawer will not appear. They are present there, but you will not be able to see it as I have made it transparent.
2. In Nova, it will appear as it does not support theming the tabs.
3. Also, disable wallpaper scrolling as the provided wallpaper has been designed for a single screen. Wallpaper may look odd if made to support multiple screens.
4. All icons may not change by themselves. To change them, long press the icon and the new icon from the provided icon pack.
5. App Drawer icon will not change by itself on Nova and ADW Launcher. You have to change them manually.
SCREENIES:

This is my Zelda theme that I designed. It uses APEX Launcher along with a few other widgets. This is my first theme, so everything may not be as organized as it should be, but I tried.
Features:
Triforce in the center has folders for each piece as a shortcut to apps.
The two Link icons can also be clicked for quick access to an app.
The bottom dock uses invisible buttons for access to your favorite apps.
This theme uses the following Apps:
Apex Launcher
Heart Container Battery Meter
UCCW
Appex Zelda Theme
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
How to use:
Download all files located below (through Google Play Store and the attachment)
Install all apps
Extract the zip
Copy the files inside "sd card" into your phone's SD card
Using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper:
1)Set MPLW as your wallpaper
2)Go to settings -> Common Settings -> Picture Source -> Picture Folder -> Folder Path -> (Find it in ...DCIM/Zelda Theme Wallpaper)
3)Add individual settings for Screen 1, 2 and 3.
4)Screen 1: Picture Source -> Single Picture -> (Find Zelda Theme LR.jpg)
5) Screen 2: Picture Source -> Single Picture -> (Find Zelda Theme home 2.jpg)
6) Screen 3: Picture Source -> Single Picture -> (Find Zelda Theme LR.jpg)
7) Change Transition type to CrossFade
8) Set Wallpaper
Using Apex Launcher:
1) Go to the settings -> Theme Settings -> Zelda Theme (Click icon pack and font ONLY) Note: this step isn't needed if you do not want the icons
2)Go to Backup & Restore -> Restore Apex Settings & Restore Desktop Data (I'm not sure if I did this correctly, please let me know if it works)
At this point you should just be able to restore the widgets by clicking on theme (Of course you can choose your own on the other pages). You can edit the look of the battery widget and you can also change which apps are inside each folder inside the triforce.
Now if you want to have your own dock icons, simply remove mine, and drag and drop your own.
To make the app invisible:
Long Press -> Edit -> Tap icon -> Select Picture -> Gallery -> Zelda Theme Wallpaper -> Black looking icon -> OK
Links to Apps needed from Play Store:
Apex Launcher
Heart Container Battery Meter
UCCW
Appex Zelda Theme
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

I have also included the Photoshop files for you to change whatever you would like about it. I'm no master of photoshop so the files are a little messy. The files are inside the attached zip.
Please hit thanks if you like this theme and let me know if you have any suggestions or problems with it so I can fix them!
Help
