This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!
Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to change the lockscreen to something like htc's theme : sense - slate
and I'd also like to change my answer screen to the same style
drag down the slider to answer, or up to decline
I'm using litening rom 1.4 and I avoided the market lockscreens, I feel like they don't integrate that well with the system.
thanks
Try widgetlocker.hI
WidgetLocker worked perfectly for me. Big THANKS! Even let me remove the default lockscreen completely. As result it runs actively all the time so that it can activate the widget locker when needed but it has barely made use of the battery which is good.
The only issue I've seen is a slight flicker when unlocking (hardware key) the phone where you see a frame or two of the screen for a split second after which the lockscreen comes up but this issue has also been on and off.
Definitely recommend it.

hi friends i just purchased HOX 10 days back and noticed that when i set a live wallpaper it only shows up on the home screen and not in the menu's background. The menu is the standard black layout. whereas my friend has got an xperia s and the live wallpaper shows up in the menu's background. Is there anyway this can be changed since the menu looks very dull with the default black theme!!! p.s. phone is unrooted
You´re talking about the AppDrawer (which appears when u click on the centered icon in navigation bar on bottom of the homescreen)?
Then afaik it´s only possible with root and customROM, e.g. ViperX.
Maybe it would be possible without unlock/root with another Launcher from PlayStore, but i dont know which Launcher supports this.
LG, Helmut
thank you, yes thats what i was looking for, you have answered my question. you are right, if i use go launcher from app store with some customized themes the background changes. BTW do you have a you tube tutorial for your ROM. i am new to android since this is my 1st device and a complete noob
It´s not my ROM, i´m only one of the themers
Here´s a preview of the older ViperX v1.0.x, in v2.x there are much more possibilities:

Ill try to be nice since you posted in wrong forum....most themes will not change everything you asked for...if you want to change lock screen, search for some vrthemes on here or zipthemes, there are TONS of them....for boot logo, you have to change that on your own...there is an app in here that will do that for you and has quiet a few selections....for icons, if you are talking about on launcher, just get a 3rd party launcher like nova and add your favorite icon pack....a few good ones are in these forum....and for home screen, that is usually changed with the theme you apply.
remember, you must be rooted and on a rom that has theme engine...WILL NOT WORK with stock, rooted or not.
Go for MIUI.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally found a solution to my question about changing lockscreen icons. Unicon Beta will do the trick if anyone else is interested.
