Uhm CM rom?
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?

Hd widgets

Just download a great, completely customizable weather, clock, settings widget. It's only 99 cents on the market right now. Perfect for my ever changing homescreen. So many themes. Give it a look. I added a couple of pics to show some of the colors and sizes.

I assume you're the developer. I could be wrong. I like the appearance of the widgets, are there anything more than the weather/clock widgets?
Thanks

Bought it. It's awesome. The widgets looks very elegant on my xoom's screen. The variety of widget sizes and looks make this one a great buy!

I was lucky enough to beta test this widget and it was a pleasure watching the developers upgrade and fix it over several months. They are quick to resolve issues and I purchased it as soon as it became available on market.
Edit: @ Saintfyre, the main 8x2 widget allows the forcast on right to be switched with a control panel similar to a power control widget. Things like BT, screen rotation, wifi can all be turned on/off. Beyond that, theyre just weather and clock. Its a replacement for Beautiful widgets.
@OP. What is the Theme you are using? And what is the small up arrow in the center of your notification bar?

First app I bought without much research, saw one review and small review at that in a blog, very happy I bought it, very nice widgets.

I decided to pick it up and was beating my head against the wall because I couldn't get the widgets to appear in the Xoom widget menu after long-pressing. Simple reboot takes care of it, for those who scratch their head like I did after configuring one and trying to find out how to place it. I like what I see so far. Thanks devs!

I believe he's either using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or has found a way to run TouchWiz UX on a Xoom. Probably the first one. The arrow would be the shortcut TW has for the mini apps.

Sorry not the developer, just letting people know about the widget that I liked.
Yes, not a theme, I use a galaxy tab 10.1 now, but old habits like this forum die hard.

In your 3rd pic on the top you are using something that has large buttons as folders. What program does that?

Ok, while you're at it, where did you get that wicked Star Trek wallpaper? /drool

The folders are two apps. Desktop visualizer is a free app that lets you take almost any small picture and use it for a launcher button of any app or bookmark. Then you can resize it to whatever dimensions you want. I have that widget working with the app called folder organizer lite. You can put all your apps into different folders. Apply your own icon and resize away. It saves alot of screen area so you don't have 100 apps taking up real estate. I can post some pics if you want to see what it looks like. Both apps are free in the market.
And here is the uss enterprise wallpaper. But you have to use the multipicture live wallpaper (free) in order to get it to display correctly. Honeycomb crops the sh!# out of it.

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

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

+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!

Share your homescreens

Hey people, thought it might be a good idea if we share our homescreens. I change my homescreen almost every 3-4 weeks. At the moment it looks like this:

I did almost everything with nova launcher. But I have an important question. I hided my status bar with nova launcher too. But if I open apps the status bar is visible again. Is there any possibility to hide the status bar in all applications and make it visible only when swifing from top to bottom? Maybe with a xposed module?
