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.

Now that the X10 Mini has been rooted, can someone make an HTC Desire theme, with icons and wallpaper?
I have tried Pandahome, aHome, xHome etc but none of them change the icons, they only change the Settings and Internet icons.
There is adw launcher in market and different themes, which have different icons.

Well, I tried ADW but it did not theme the icons.
You dont need root to change the icons and wallpaper.
Wallpaper i guess you know already.
To change the Icons you need Bettercut and preferably Open Home from the same developer.
You will need a Market enabler if you are not able to buy apps currently to see those apps cause i believe both are pay-apps.
And I'm asking again.
I rooted the phone and still theming is nowhere.
aHome, PandaHome, xHome, BetterCut, ADW Launcher DO NOT WORK. They only theme the YouTube, Browser and Settings icons. Can I do something else? As I said, I've already rooted the phone so I can do anything you want me to.
ADW launcher v. 1.1.3 have a sweet option for custom shortcuts.
It let you create a shortcut on the homescreen, and let you choose a custom name and picture for the icon.
it works great for giving your homescreen a special look

You are talking about changing the icon inside the App-Drawer? Then i agree , you can't change them with the launchers and so on. ADW.Launcher does theme more of them thant you are describing. Probably all icons , BUT it is the icon pack that must have the appropriate icons for the apps you want to have themed. I am just now running the Sticker pack for ADW and there are a lot more themed icons.
Bettercut and so on can only (as far as i know) theme them when you make a shortcut on one of your homescreens.
Whatever this has to do with a Desire theme though i have no idea.
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?

Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
Hello guys, is there is an app for unrooted galaxy SIII, that enlarge the icons that already exists on the phone? I don't want an app to choose manually the icons, I need something to activate it then all of the icons are bigger, or the font, so bigger font or bigger icons, font is the most important.
Not sure about icons but is there not a setting to have large text in "accessibility" settings? There is on AOSP roms. Also magnification gestures.

Install nova launcher prime, you can scale icons with that +/- 25%
There are't any apps which makes the existing icons bigger however you can use third party launcher's like apex nova etc to make the icons bigger and if you don't want to loose touchWiz look you can download a touchWiz theme for these launchers and you are good to go.........................Here' the links for launcher and theme..

Im loving this amazing app so fsr on my GS4 but I still have some questions without answers, even though it coukd be just a lack of experience using this app my self.. Jere I go:
1. I can't find a way to change the default wallpapers for cuatom ones
2. I can't find how to replase some of the default icons on the dock bar by my prefered apps (like Go. Launcher style, wjre it let you edit any app, for example in Go Launcher I can place the +Contacts app and replace its original icon with the stock icon of the theme being used)
3. How can I eliminate widgets and add eliminate screens? Almost all themes have a news widget whixh i dont want.. What can I do?
I think this app rocks but it atill needs more customization and easier acces to more options
Thanls dor this glorious app!!!
For example, I could manage to change thenwall paper butnas soon as I changenthe number of main screens inside the themer settings thenwallpaper became all blaxk and wont let me see anybwidget. I add
