Android Home/UI replacement

Hi guys,
Hope all of you are well.
So I'm back after a two year break from iOs to Android.
As I was browsing through the internet and try to look if there are any new alternatives to sweeter home I really couldn't get wiser out of all the information. So before I will start building themes again I was wondering if anyone knows what the top theme alternative apps for the moment are (2012-2013) and would like to share that with me.
In the past I have made some themes on sweeter home like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOIopL7bbi4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOCowHO65c
But that was in the very beginning of the mobile Android platform and there were not many options to customizing your home screen.
So hereby my humble request to some information in the right direction.
With kind regards,
DizzyDix

Wow, uccw is deffinitly something I was looking for.
Seems like a very powerfull app and one could modify every aspect of their UI.
Thank you for your reply!

Uccw is amazing.. don't forget about widget locker.

try holo launcher and adw launcher

I believe the top two launcher apps right now are apex and nova. And the apps that have already been named above are amazing for customization.

Great news
Wow guys,
This is wonderful, thank you all for the input.
I think you have helped me a long way now with all this info.
I was really stunned by the uccw app, because of its possibilities.
But I will surely check out all apps.
I was kind of disappointed yesterday when I found out my S3 has no scrolling wallpaper function, so they force me again to make my own UI.
And because I dont like using ROM's I rather work with a launcher app/home screen replacement.
While browsing I have seen many good functional and good looking themes, so it is really a challenge for me to bring something out.
First I will play around with android and hopefully start theme'ing after a while.
Wish you all a good day.
Cheers
Dizzy

go for apex as your launcher..

Launcher/ Home replacement
Hi all,
There has been some mix up, I think because of me.
I get a lot of input from you guys and that is totally cool, never expected that but your info is by far great nice to see the xda community being so helpful.
The mixup:
I don't think I am looking for a "launcher app".
I'm looking for a skin app which lets me change every aspect of the android UI, in this case TouchWiz.
So let's say we have Touchwiz with bottom bar where the apps icon always is outlined on the right and we have the home screen with the status bar etc.
What I want to do is: replace all elements of the TouchWiz. So for example that my homescreen will look like the Mac Os Lion interface on a mac or like the Windows 8 interface on a laptop.
The only app which lets me do that (that I know of) is SweeterHome, but I can't find sweeterhome in the market anymore and Beta 2.0 has bugs.
So then I was informed about:
UCCW
Apex
Nova
Home
iHome
aHome
SPB
LIghting launcher with uccw (that is totally not what I am looking for as I am designing my own theme so I dont want to use someones theme as a consumer but use an app that lets me build a new UI on the android OS.)
Ss launcher
holo launcher
zooper widget (not looking for a widget shell, but thanks for the input)
So, the most important question:
Is there an app that can do the same as SweeterHome?
Im looking forward to hearing from you guys,
Regards,
Dizzy

Hey Bud, thanks for your reply.. but I dont think you understood my message..
I am not looking for someone's theme.
I make themes.
Thanks though..

Unless I'm mistaken it sounds like you're looking for something that would completely change the visual aspects of android ui such as the status bar, menus pop ups and things of that nature afaik the only thing similar to that requires you to be rooted and running custom roms, which has the theme manager and allows you to theme to entire system and framework of android, if your looking for only third party apps available in the market that are themeable I believe super status bar comes with a theme engine as well as omega status bar (for the status bar) however they don't perform very well, and many custom launchers such as apex and nova allows for custom icons and icon packs as well as docks etc... However most themeing will require root as well as a custom roms like CM or PA (paranoid android) or aokp which all have the theme engine included.
Just a side note the theme engine included in these roms are based off the tmobile theme engine and cannot be used as a standalone app

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let you know there are third party apps that you can use in place of rooting however none will be as effective or theme as thoroughly as using the theme engine. Here's a list of some apps that might do what you need
Widget locker (for lock screen)
Super Status Bar (for status bar)
Go Launcher Pro (for home screen and launcher) not much experience with this but it seems pretty thorough in its themeing capabilities
Hopefully these can be viable alternatives for you ill add more if I think of any or of you have any other questions lemme know
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium

+1 to what he said ^^^^ very detailed. But here is my shorter version, look into how to make a "Theme Choser" (or Theme Engine) theme, that is the most complete way to change how your phone look. Another alternative would be MIUI ROM, which is extremely customizable and dynamic when it comes to theming capability. Hope it helps :laugh:

Yesss!!!
Kagedin, thank you you've just answered more questions than I needed.
I was not sure if I needed to root but this confirms it. I got very noob at the moment because of the breakaway of 2 years from android so sorry for the complex questions.
But your answer confirms that I need root. And I also came to know that if you want to make an Apex theme... these days its done on your desktop through Python or etc.
Things has changed a lot since the beginning of Android, back then it was root into your phone, take aspects of the UI, redesign them on your desktop and place them back into their original folder on the phone and you where good to go.
I will go with Widget locker, Super Status Bar, Go Launcher Pro and Apex for the moment but first of all root.
BIG THANK YOU!

I have not figured this out just yet, although a nice alternative is to use a widget as a wallpaper and simply overlay them.

There is a thread about this already. You have enable widget overlap in Nova settings and the other thread said they used android photo widget and set it to 4x4 (I used the same stuff they did). Your grid has to be enabled to 4x4 as well in Nova settings. If I knew how to copy the link I would but honestly never tried. If I can get the link I'll attach it.

Hello. As some of you have seen recently on XDA News, Samsung has released a new Advanced UI called Good Lock.
Can anybody extract the APK, or port it to the Edge+?
Thanks!

I tried that link on my s6 edge and it would come up saying it had trouble parsing the file. Any way to fix it or get it to work?

works for me , audax rom .

Working for me. I'm in regular Marshmallow stock.
Still trying to decide if cool and useful or just eye candy useless feature... What about you guys?

I love the features, but I don't think I can live with it until someone bakes it into a ROM and makes it theme-able...

Cool! Works fine with Stock 6.0.1

there is a way for change icons status bar in MM ??? (wifi, signal, battery) NO 3MINIT !!!

Now it's not possible directly open the camera app (if you're using a screen lock like fingerprint).

True. Completely agree.
Strange, since this is done by Samsung that it won't inherit theme settings.
For now I'm trying to "copy" the theme while changing the colors - It looks ok, and I really like the possibility to add widgets to the lockscreen (even having to swipe down to access it). The lost of quick accessing the camera is a drawback

Icons finders with transparent background

Hi guys
Is there a way to change folders background to transparent?
I'm on classic theme and like rounded icons but white background looks crap
Thx
Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

What do you mean folders backgrounds?
I use Perfect Icons Pack
There's also Kecil (Free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamon.kecil
And Rewun https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vertumus.rewun
Is this the type of icons you are looking?
And here's my home screen /desktop (perfect icon pack)

long press in home screen, it will open launcher settings. wallpaper, widgets, settings.
press settings
press more
press background
and you can change the opacity in apps menu.

Folder background like marked. You can't change it. It really sucks with dark theme.
Only possibility is if you use other launcher

In themes you can change to limitless icons and folder background becomes transparent but icons become more squarish...
