How to change WP8 App Icons/Tiles? - Nokia Lumia 920

Any idea how to change the icons/Tiles of apps? There are some apps which don't adapt the design color for their icons, so i'm searching for a solution for this "problem".

unfortunately i dont think you can dude!!!

There is no solution to this problem. Part of it is that especially if the App has a live tile it constantly creates new Image files that are set as the foreground of the tile. Some Apps use a transparent Icon background which lets the tile color shine through but others don't. With full unlocked WP7 devices it was possible to overwrite the default icon but quite often that also broke the live functionality.
So all in all the previous answer is accurate and there are reasons why that is not going to change anytime soon.

wp7 themes
wp 7 themes is the app ur looking for. its just a beginning, however in circa 1 month will be some huge update, pro version will be released and i dont think it cost us much

[Q] How to change Flipout color scheme

Hi
I'm very happy with my brand new FlipOut, but I'm not with the default color scheme: some of colors conflicts with applications, resulting in some grey-on-black texts, or blue-on-red notifications.
Is there a way to change the color scheme?
yeah there are many apps which change the theme!
i use "91 panda home 2" its free. it changes your menue etc.
there is a theme market linked in it..so you can choose what you want!
i like the default theme comes with panda 2. sometimes there is a bug in it. after the first use of a new theme you have to flip the display and back...then you have the right orientation!
by the way panda is also a nice app because it changes to smaler icons..
I've already changed my home app (I use Zeam), but unfortunatley it doesn't change color scheme for non-home elements. Does Panda can do it?
what i have seen it changes everything try out plz...its in the market
I've tried it: it changes desktop, dockbar, but notification bar and global color for apps (background/foregrounde selected colors especially) they remain the same.
Any news about system colours changer app? I hate that grey-like look!

[Q] Question on tiles

I am confused about WP8 and tiles. Can individual tiles be colored by user or is there one setting for all apps? Reviews I have seen seem to have them all same color except for 3rd party apps.
Thanks!

Without a side-loaded application, you won't be able to color individual tiles.

Developers design tiles as transparent PNG images; those images are laid over squares that are the accent color. Thus the transparent areas show as the accent color. If the developer doesn't use any transparent areas, the user sees the colors that the developer picked for the tile.

Request: Snowstorm-like lockscreen application

I guess most people know the weather app Snowstorm on Android. There are many apps on WP8 but something more can be done. I like how in Snowstorm you have your widgets and a wide choice of icon sets and I'm pretty sure that can be done on Windows Phone. A weather forecast at the top of the lockscreen and a choice of icons in the app settings, all while leaving the wallpaper choice to the user.
Anyone up for that?
how bout locksider+? It was free for a while, not sure about now, but it has a bunch of lockscreen photos that you can pick or choose to randomize, and it has weather in the top corner

POCO Launcher

POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?

Question Always On Display Customization

Hello good people!! So what i miss in s23 ultra is weather info in always on diaplay like apple or pixel. I know there are some hacks with weather apps but the implementation js usually poor and looks terrible from UI perspective. Alao, who likes to see the weather everytime on notification panel anyway??
Wondering if there are any other options? If not, can we somehow request this so Samsung? This is a big need to make AOD user friendly instead of maybe adding bitmozi and gifs..
Any thoughts ?
I just use an app called today weather and i keep the live notification for weather and on the lockscreen it shows the notification and on the aod it shows the current temp and a small icon of the current weather.

Is the live notification for today weather or the stock weather app? I cannot get it to show for TW nor show on aod Lock Screen
It has to be today weather because ive removed almost every stock app on my device
If you remember how you enabled that please share. I cannot find a way to add anything to the aod lock screen

And on my aod it shows the current temp as a little notification circle thing. You have to have aod show notifications
You can do that with weather bug as well. But the bubble is always there hindering space for other notifications and the weather is always on in notification panel which i find disturbing so stopped using it. I understand these are just work arounds but i wonder, is it possible to bring pjxel like AOD in samsung? The finishing is way better in pixel although it supports less options.
