Why doesn't any DInc roms or themes ever change up the 3G/signal/wifi icons? Unless I passed over a rom or theme, I don't see any. It seems there are so many Evo/droid themes and roms that have these sweet icons and I'm jealous!
There are plenty of roms and themes that change that image. Try the smoothsense changes or Cyanogenmod with a Galaxy S theme. I know I have seen others but can't remember them.

Hi! I am new to the DInc but am loving it rooted. (Huge step up from the Eris...LOL) I am loving the MIUI ROM so far but there are some aspects of a 100% Vanilla ROM that I'd really like. I have downloaded/installed CM6 (which I understand is the only true Vanilla ROM available - dialer specifically) but I'm wondering if there is a theme available that looks like the MUIU ROM - you know, the rounded iPhone type icons.
If no themes are available is there a way to change my current icons to the MIUI-type icons?
Thanks in advance.

You could always use LauncherPro. It allows for replacing the icons on your screens with a custom icon.

Good idea. Any suggestions on where to find custom icons?
I know if no other way... you cannot make a theme to automatically change different icons... it is all done in the framework... I am actually trying to develop a cross breed of miui and skyraider.. it is not working out so well.. anybody else on this?

The market is a great place to start If I'm not mistaken, adw.launcher has a variety of ipod/ipad-espue icons, which is what MIUI is based off of hope this info helps!
EDIT*
Whoops left out the fact that the icons for adw.launcher are classified as themes in the market

hi guys
i was wondering if any of the most popular roms like villainrom or revolutionron have any kind of themes or skins that change the design of the rom like MIUI does, i really hate the contact screen from factory android and i also lile the white design from MIUI but wanted to ask first if i should stick to Miui, the only thing is that for galaxy s2 is still in early stages, not 100% working
thanks
Try Revolution Rom and install kitchen.apk to change boot animations theams, Baseband, widgets through it on the fly.

thanks man, that was the first rom i tried, but calling screen and most of the layout is android classic design. What i meant was, a theme that changes, contextual menus, the calling screen layout again, replaces the black background , etc
i dont even know if its possible to do this but ive seen similar results with jkay themes.

As you didn't know I'm new to all this, however I was able to get my phone rooted and loaded with Jugg 4.0 with the ICS theme. My question is when I go to the theme forum there is a thread where people are posting all these different themes. Are they creating these themselves or are they getting them from another sources. I dont see as many themes in the theme forum that are showing up in the theme thread.

The thing is , most themes have to be made for individual ROMs so things don't break ..
Since a new build is out the KL1 , you may not find many themes yet. But be careful, you must make sure that any themes you do find here or other places are compatible with your specific ROM/Build ..
Flashing a theme from the wrong build can cause boot loops or worse ....

Thanks for your replay, so when I see the ADW Launcher app how do I know what ROM that is for?
ADW launcher is an app which works for any rom. It basically allows you to customize your phone however you want it. It has a ton of customization for your home screen and launcher but thats pretty much all it does. I bought it on the 10day sale and i love it. There is also a function in the setting which allows you to search the android market for tons of custom made themes, mostly free but some are paid.
Plus if ur running cm7 it comes with a theme chooser, and that has hundreds of themes
Thanks for the info and the caution on using theme's.
There are a few things that I have noticed from a noob's perspective in regards to theme's. Its clear from the "post your homescreen" thread in the themes forum that there are hundreds of themes out there. It also seems that many of the users are running juggernaut ROM. From what I can see posted in the themes forum, there aren't many themes made specifically with Juggernaut in mind. There seems to be a large difference in the number of themes offered from Jugg in the Theme forum to the number of different themes people are posting in the theme thread. I'm curious as to where people are grabbing these themes from. Is it from the ADW app in the market place?

What you are mainly seeing is Launcher themes and widgets , there are many launchers that can really be customized, and it can make your phone look totally new ... ADW, Launcher Pro, and my favorite Go Launcher EX. With the launchers it is much easier to change Icons, colors and such ... Widgets can change the whole look of your phone as well, something IOS can't do, so iphone people see it and think it is something totally custom when it is simply placing the right widget in the right place, which I think is quite funny ...

Thanks you for the explaination, I think I pretty much have it now.
For the sake of anyone in the future searching XDA and my post comes up. Ultimately like tcboo mentions your going to want to use a launcher you can download from the app market. I downloaded ADW and what was tripping me up with ADW is that its sort of a hidden app in the since there isn't an icon into the your application area to run it. When you hit your home button your phone will ask you if you want to use ADW or TouchWiz as a launcher. Choose ADW however don't set is as default until you are comfotable with it. To get to the setting of ADE you will hit the menu button to the left of your home button and hit more, then click on the more button and select ADWSettings. From here is where you can tweak the settings of the launcher and apply new themes you downloaded from the app market.
Just curious if anyone knows if there is, or if there are plans for, a sense ROM with aosp theming?
When I was on the note 2, there was a couple TW roms that had this. It would be my ideal ROM.

coming from the sg3/sg4, where all I ran was my ROM with AOSP themed TW.
I have been wanting to make an AOSP theme, but would be very difficult. Best theme out there is for EclipticOne Hawks dark inverted theme.
I have plans to kang that basically and make it gray inversion, basically the same but instead of all black backgrounds they will be the HTC Sense gray color that some of the backgrounds already are, for ex. favorites in the dialer.

Cool! Would like to see this! Really, what I want is aosp style notification icons. I'll give EclipticOne a try.

That actually is the easiest part..
That is just replacing the .png images in the SystemUI.apk
Matching the pop ups, and the rest of the .png images in the hard part, then finding all the colors in all the different .xml files it's ridiculous how much time these things take. I worked with the best themer on the sg4 he was working blind with me to get the aosp theme and we got it about 90% done, but WOW, what a PITA..
I will work on a SystemUI.apk for you as that's easy and actually usually the first thing that can be worked on.
No idea when I'll get to this, not sure if I'll wait for 4.3 to drop or not either, cos an android upgrade like 4.2.2 to 4.3 should be quite different.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a full blown aosp theme!! But those are some of the things that initially bug me.
Thanks for offering to do this!! Whenever you get to it is cool. This is the main reason I love the Android community!
Hey I was wondering if HALO mods (like colors and icons) will work for our phone. I stumbled upon these xda threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/zipthemer-halo-themes-t2309936
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327793
Both of them are from almost a year ago and not specific to HTC One. The instructions on one of them is for 4.4+ ROMs so it seems like it will work but max DPI is xHDPI which I'm getting mixed answers on whether our phone is xxHDPI or xHDPI which I'm guessing will make a difference.
Anyway I use HALO all the time in my AOSP ROMS and very few of them allow you to change colors and none of them let you use a custom icon. Would be awesome if someone made flashable zips with different icons and I would do it if I knew how (directions seem simple enough but I don't know about compatibility isses). Any info on this would be appreciated.
It actually does work and I have my HALO looking like the Superman Logo. It's pretty awesome actually.
