Just trying to figure out how to use custom icon packs? and where to get them?
Ive never really done much in the way of customising my phone, and just installed Go launcher EX..
Managed to get a nice black and white thing going but obviously all the icons are the standard sgs2 ones. so what would be the easiest way to replace them?
Thanks for any help
Still learning myself, but check this thread in the Android Themes forum (not specific to the SGS2)
Hope that's what you're wanting...
thanks for that..
Didnt realize you had to alter each icon 1 at a time linking each 1 to the one you want it to replace though... was kinda hoping just to download a pack,, install it and it would auto replace all the relevant icons., heh

glad you like it. I wanted something that would go with just about everything and still look good.
Thanks for that! Makes the effort worthwhile.

It must have been quite an effort... I've edited a few .9.png files, and its not fun. In fact, I've decided to avoid it as much as possible! Figuring out which files to replace is easy, but actually editing them and creating new images is a pain. Thankfully, there are quite a few nice themes already floating around. Lots of tutorials as well.
this is beautiful. anyone tried it on 3.9.1 yet?
smooth I like the icons.
+1 I wanna try with 3.9.1
Got stuck on the g1 screen when flashed on 3.9.1.

K. Ported to 3.9.1. Ported as fast as I could, so far as i can tell, everything works just fine. Let me know if there is any "weirdness" and I'll try to fix it.
Hey johnny, where can i get the clock from the screenshots??
Can do you think you can make the highlights and loadbars green in your next update??

Clock is android apps weather widget(donate). It's a paid app so i couldn't include in the update.zip.

I agree. If there were a color to add....in my opinion blue. And in fact only as a selection highlight.
Sooo, noob question:
There are two links - one for the thee, one for icons. Do the icons from the crenshots not come with the theme? How do we put them into it if not, just flash the .zip.
Related question: why not make theme that the icons can be switched in, like as if using ahome or something. that would be nice

The link for the icons is for bettercut/openhome/ahome/dxtop users who want to use the icons separately.
I would make a theme that can have switchable icons, but I'm not a programmer. You should try the modified launcher thread... I would definitely add that if someone else can code that into the current launcher Cyanogen is using
Working on a gingerbread theme for DK28, not quite sure if i'll release it or not, but while dumping the pngs in and testing on my phone, I noticed the issue in the attached screenshot. The backgrounds for the icons when you hit menu from the homescreen are now black so the black text no longer shows up.
Anyone know where this text can be found in the framework xmls so I can edit it? Its the only issue I found and I poked around the xmls but couldnt find anything that jumped out at me, thanks for any help!
EDIT: correct png uploaded
bump - cmon guys, no help on this?
This is what I'll trying to figure out as well, its really pissing me off as its the only thing stopping me from releasing my rom. Im keeping an eye on this thread as well.

Sorry, I mean on our phones. Its probably a dumb question, I know. Its like the only one I can't find. I have changed every one of then, even some in apps but I can't find that one. What and where is the files. lol

oh right, well its gotta be in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi for sure, i changed out almost every icon in there, flashed it and voila, black menu backgrounds. so i dont know exactly what pngs were responsible. doing a quick search for menu though i get the following i put my money on the starred one:
menu_background.9.png
***menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
menu_submenu_background.9.png
so what is a menu smali file? i'll search around but i've never done anything with one.
EDIT: sounds like smali might be a little out of my league, lol. but i think i may have found something, testing now before i reveal it. then just one more thing to fix and i think its ready to go!
okay well i found what to do for xml edits here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9664604&postcount=77
but i did them and it doesnt look like it took. i've asked the OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863860 for some advice and also on changing the notification text from white to dark as it doesnt look good on the lighter gray notification background in GB.
hopefully i'll have something up today or tomorrow, its looking great other than that!
looking good so far, even with a GB battery 1% mod! just 2 more little issues to fix!

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.
It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen
Works on my i9100 with MIUI 1.7.1 test31

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here
Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.
Is there anyway to remove the white line that is just above the dock in the stock ICS launcher?
I'm running my SGN LTE with a rooted stock 4.02 and would really love to see it gone. I don't really mind the blue line that appears briefly when you swipe to a different homescreen.
Any suggestions?
Have u tried a different launcher than stock? ADW works well

Wow! Cool! First off, thanks.
Second off, I realize your post means I should go into the launcher apk on my phone and alter (remove?) the hotseat_track_holo.9 file... not sure exactly how to do that, could you point me in the right direction so I could read up on that?
Thanks again.
Apk files are just like zip files I have not done it myself often but just unpack it or change the file extension to zip and unpack it and look for that file maybe

Just download link, push the home and weather apk to system/app set permissions and its good to go.
Runs real good on this phone. I am running the is on the Touch of GS3 rom had to make some room (deleted voice apk etc...)

Love the lockscreen. I'm just looking at the LG files, there in a .kdz format which I've no clue how to port. Maybe lockbot might have an LG version or something. In any case, this launcher is zippy.
yea good find i like this launcher better than the new tw ... sounds dumb but i love the no lines google search bar up top . if we can get a lock screen port we are good to go .. anybody know where i can get more themes for this ? i dont really like the ones in the link

Damn, LG's UI is so identical to Samsung's Touchwiz, I'm surprised they're not suing each other with all this patents nonsense flying around. That lock screen though is definitely dope. Wish Samsung adds more eye candy to their skin overlay or maybe just leave the original ICS look alone.
