So I recently switched to MIUI Rom and I like the experience except for one problem. I installed GO Launcher and set it up nicely so I could utilize the app drawer. Then, I installed a custom icon pack because I did not like the iPhone-ish icons with the background. The new icon pack causes all the icons to be really small (I think MIUI shrinks the icons and applies the border to them).
Is there any way I can increase the size of the icons in the app drawer? I don't want to change the DPI of the whole phone because that will increase the text size and everything else.
May be the issue of your icon size.Download another icon pack

Well I tried both a Sense icon pack and a froyo icon pack with no success. Does anyone know a good pack to try if I am trying to eliminate the icon background?

Same Difference In A Way. Same Developer. You Made The Right Choice.
I am running Eclipse v0.2.2. I have adw launcher EX. I changed the ERI banner. I have navenedrob's init.d hack but I edited his script by removing some tweaks and only keeping the CPU freq tweak, SD read ahead and the IO tweak. I did that because I am using the V6supercharger and kickasskernal scripts. (You have to remove the tweaks that overlap) Oh and I am using the 3gturbochrager tweak.
I'm running eclipse 2.2 with init.d, 3gt, build.prop. Currently running my custom theme thru adw along with my blackout theme. Going for a wp7 look...sort of...
Also running a few aosp apps such as messaging and gallery (huge improvement)

Looks good, I like your icons for the app drawer and the phone. Did you make them or are they part of the theme package?

Ooo LauncherPro Gives Me The Option For 3D Drawer. Hope That Helps.
Yeah I have that check but what I'm trying to do is change the icons on the dock, on the home screen. I can't seem to find the icons. I have everything in stalled but when I try and change the icons it doesn't give me the option to change to the 3d icon pack.

Go Inside LauncherPro's Preferences And Click Theme Settings Then Select The 3D Icon Pack.
Yep, did that but it doesn't change the dock icons to the 3d icons it just keeps the basic launcher pro icons.

Did You Try Restart LauncherPro? Maybe Uninstall Then Reinstall.
Yeah, I tried that. If I press and old the app drawer button it does ask me if I want to change the icon, change shortcut, swipe gesture action. When I choose change icon. It then ask me if I want Launcher Pro icons or custom icons. If I choose Launcher Pro icon it brings up the default icons. if I choose custom it brings up the gallery. Neither bring up the M22-3D icon pack. Thanks for all of your direction I know this is not your program. I just thought there was something I am missing. I guess it could just be the phone.

Go To Your Homescreen Press The Menu Button. Select Preferences Then Select The Theme Settings. Select The Icon Pack.
Did that no change. What I am referring to is the app drawer icon on the home page that launches the app drawer. The icons inside the app drawer are 3d. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse.
im using the p3droid and then froze a bunch of stuff that i saw was listed. for some reason eclipse just feels slow and it scored about 300 lower on smartbench.
Hey guys,
I come from the iPhone, and in our jailbreak themeing app, you were able to create an icon file over lay. This overlay would be put onto every app, no matter the name, or if it had a custom app icon or not. Meaning you could make a frame for an icon, have the middle of the frame transparent, and the skinning platform would automatically apply that frame to every icon on your homeboard.
Is there something similar to this for Android?
There's a bunch of Launchers with all sorts of theme. Search for them in the market . Try Go launcher

+1 To the above mentioned post...I have been using ADW Launcher EX for some time now and there are plenty of themes/icon packs to choose from. There is one proviso to most of these Themes...The good ones you generally have to pay for. But they are not terribly expensive and if you don't like right away you can refund.
I know there are lots of themes. However, many themes don't cover -all- the icons. Only the icons which they have the icon set for. I was wondering if there is a universal icon theming system.
I know that in adw ex u can put a color square background around every icon

How to change icons in app drawer without any launcher i am using x10 MP and ROM CM7 2.1.7, also please give some links for transparent themes like CRYSTAL....
The only way to change the icons in the app drawer is to theme each individual app and change the relevant .png file. It's a bit tedious and really only works on system apps.
I'm not sure that's actually what you want to do since you mention not having any launcher. The launcher is the app that gives you the app drawer. If you haven't got one on your phone, the only way you can run any apps is by connecting is by using a PC interface.
I'm guess what you want to do is the change the appearance of the icons on the home screen of the stock SE launcher. That's the screen with the four selectable areas in each corner. If that's what you're after then you're out of luck. Only third-party launchers (like ADW, Go, Zeam, etc) offer the ability to theme the icons on the home screen.
Transparent status bar
yes i better move to MIUI launcher....im using CM7...i have heard many things about making status bar transparent....is there any simple way to patch this....
That depends what you mean by simple..lol
In CM7 there may be an option in the settings app to do that. I don't know if there is or not as I'm using a CM7 port.
Otherwise, you need to modify the statusbar_background.9.png file inside the SystemUI.apk. Change that to transparent, but make sure not to change the pixel thick border or you'll get all sorts of problems, and that will do it.
This also depends on your launcher as some just won't accept a transparent statusbar at all.
LOL
i liked the miui launcher....but now i notice there is no miui launcher for CM7....and for the transparent status bar....let it go....something new will come up im enough happy with the CM7 rom itself....i removed all built in themes...no use for the colours inside just the desktop itself is lovely with widgets and APW....thanks for everything bro
You can get a semi-transparent status bar in Flame.GDX ICS ROM. As for a launcher? Id recommend 360 Launcher.

You have to install theme manager.Search google Theme Manager t-mobile flash download zip,flash through CWM and install every APK theme file you want!
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient
-Thanks

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
Just installed this ROM.
Its really nice. But how do I change the color of the battery, clock and wifi signal icons in the upper right corner of the screen from the ugly orange?
Also, I would like the change the color of the keyboard (which is also the same ugly orange).
I was looking in the settings for over 30 minutes and couldn't figure out how to change these things.
Thanks.
Theme. Orange is stock color for collective.

You mean settings and Themes? I looked there, there is nothing to configure. It only gives me one 1 theme to pick (the Collective theme that has an atomic blast as a wallpaper).
I installed ADW launcher and switched to that launcher. But even after that, the battery and wifi icons in the upper right corner are still orange. And in settings/Themes, it still gives me nothing to configure and only 1 theme to pick (even after installing an ADW theme from Google Play).
Some more suggestions on how to change the icon colors would be appreciated. Thanks.

i did but the icons in the right corner are still orange.
i installed some themes for Go Launcher. And applied them and the icons in the corner are still orange.
when i go on google play and search for android themes its seems like the first 50 listed require GO EX launcher. is there any good theme that doesn't require a special launcher? one that someone can point me to? maybe if i apply a theme that doesn't require a launcher the color of the icons in the corner will not be orange anymore.
i also rebooted my phone a couple of times, that didnt fix the orange color of the icons.

Not familiar with Go Launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher. I like Nova because it lets me backup my screen widgets. Saves a lot time when you flash every new releases. I use the Xperia theme with Nova.

I think the app "Rom Toolbox" has an option to change those colors up top there.
