youll need to switch launchers. The phone comes loaded with Touchwiz, which is where all the colorful icons come from. the launcher is the "mechanism" they controls which icons and widget sets the phone uses, and also how the app drawer looks and works. the most popular downloadabe launcher is called LauncherPro, and its available from the market for free. Aftermarket launchers can be much faster and highly customizable. Once you installed your launcher of choice, then youll have to start finding replacement clocks and things like that.
The clock im using is called Bob3d, if you google it, it will take you to the thread on Xda of the guy who created the clock, and the weather stream at the bottom of mine is called minimalist text, which is also free from the market.
try out battstatt and tajim also, they are nice clean looking battery percentage and time widgets. hope this gives you some direction!
That looks really slick. I just downloaded SPB Shell 3D last night. Very fluid and no lag on my SGS4G. So far I really like it even though it's a bit high on price. But it has so much customization options.

the launcher im using is adw launcher ex ,the program i used to change my battery icons and wifi along with signal was ninjamorph. i took a themed frame work from my g2,took the icons i used for the battery,signal and wifi and took them out and used ninjamorph to push them into my framework, if this sounds too confusing,its new to me too..im a newb at this..it was just something i was toying around with. The battery stats are not accurate, i used the theme blue rover that can be flashed using the tmobile theme app that does not come with our phone.
I also used root explorer to change the lcd density of my screen from 240 to 200. Gives a cleaner look..

There is an app on the market called "lcd density for root". It works and looks good. The only.problem is that some apps dont scale properly like 360 camera and the video recorder.

The new ADW Launcher EX is money. Well worth the $3. Very fast and great customizations. Running beautiful on CM6.1 Stable.

Can I use custom icons with it? (never even used ADW)
Can I enable 7 screens like LPP?
Does it have scrollable widgets like LPP's facebook?
Can I change what the icons open?
I'm definitely considering buying this, I just need to know a few basic things before I do y'know? Sorry if these questions sound stupid.
Yes you can use custom icons. Long press and icon you want to change and off you go. Was never really keen on using ADW till now, easily trumps LP IMO and worth the $$$.

What about the more screens and scrollable widgets?
Edit: I got it. removed a lot of my icons and widgets from my homescreen so i just removed it. didn't feel like putting them back. the transitions were cool though. i may re-download another time when i am really bored.
even the free ADW is on a higher level of customization than launcher pro plus
I'm loving the Ex version thanks OP!
There's almost too much to customize! Lol
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I couldn't get it to layer widgets (unless it's an undocumented feature of the paid version), so I'm sticking with LPP.
As an avid ADW user, what makes this worth it over the free version?

There's no system options button in the menu, unless I'm profoundly retarded.
Anyone know how to get that back? The best I can do is add shortcuts to settings on the homescreen.

You have to enter ADW Settings to get to your system settings. Very unintuitive.
I've bought both EX and LPP. The eye candy of EX is nice, but LPP is a touch more refined as of right now in terms of practicality.
this is just the beginning of this thread it will be added to most likely on a daily basis.
Make sure when flashing these clock mods that you dont wipe and that you have a clock on your homescreen before flashing or they wont work....
BIG THANKS TO: Stoney666 for letting use some or his images to make these clocks and for his guidance....most of the images used for these clocks are images that stoney made himself especially the 3D ones... all i did was port them over to work with this rom and ad my own little flavor of color and such... so if you like these clocks make sure you give him a thanks to.... added a link to his stuff in my sig.....
Instructions for clocks
: Place zip on root of sd card
: Boot into recovery
: Flash in recovery and reboot

James, when you make the tabs for the flip clocks, you need to be as precise as possible or they will fall apart like that screeny. Especially for the landscape support. They need to be shaped like the whole tab behind it. So much that it looks like one solid image, till it flips.

wallpaper is like raver said, in the clocks folder on sdcard. i also used minimalistic text widget for time, temp, weekdays, date and the one with all the numbers is a battery meter. also messed with the settings to get the glow effect within the widgets. basically shows everything i need which is also why i put it in fullscreen mode so no status bar.

There are several quality screen capture apps. This one used to be my favorite as well, but I lost some respect for the developer. Why you would remove an app simply because of negative comments is beyond me... You can't please everyone, so instead he takes away something many had come to love.
I realize you can download and install it elsewhere, but I still think that is pretty lame so I used another app. To be fair, the other images look perfectly fine, they were just uploaded at a smaller resolution. Don't confuse one for the other.
EDIT, for anyone wanting to read more about ShootMe / the developer, I wrote about it on my blog:

its not the app that takes the snaps. if you use the xda app to upload the image(s), it will resize the image. try uploading to a host first and then inserting the URL in the img tags.

^ use an alternate launcher, like ADW EX (my preference).
I'm running RebelROM w/GoLauncher and have it setup to where I can swipe up to hide the status bar. But when the lockscreen is on the status bar is visible, would be nice if it was transparent. I imagine that's a function of the OS, not the launcher, right? That being said, is it possible to modify it to be transparent?
Would the UOT Kitchen be helpful for this?

I tried that one, preferred Widget Locker instead. It's got a sick ICS lockscreen....might go back to it since I despise the one I have. RebelROM is so RAM friendly it shouldn't be an issue....I don't think I've broken the 300mb RAM in use point yet....everytime I check it's 2xx mb with 4xx-5xxmb free. Gotta love it!

Ive been doing soo much research on android and ram usage I honestly havent checked my RAM usage once and havent used one task killer. Its so slick and Android controls RAM usage so good by killing apps if need be, if not it wont kill any, so believe it or not, it runs more stable and it saves battery.

I've been checking it cause when I was on 2.3.6 stock rooted it wasn't as efficient with controlling ram useage as advertised. I would notice it would lag at times, then would go in and check it and there's just 200mb or less of ram free....I'd free up as much as possible and it would be fine for a while. With this ROM, ram is a non-issue...it's extremely efficient!
Ended going back to WidgetLocker and now my lockscreen is sexy again.

I've been checking it cause when I was on 2.3.6 stock rooted it wasn't as efficient with controlling ram useage as advertised. I would notice it would lag at times, then would go in and check it and there's just 200mb or less of ram free....I'd free up as much as possible and it would be fine for a while. With this ROM, ram is a non-issue...it's extremely efficient!
Ended going back to WidgetLocker and now my lockscreen is sexy again.

The status bar isn't actually transparent but more like "minimized". It should be an easy XML edit somewhere that I could attempt but it actually involves thinking .
however I'll give it a shot if you get bored with WidgetLocker (which IMO is amazing).

I know its not, thats the problem. I think I'll hold off until we can get a custom lockscreen cause I despise the stock one so in the mean time, Widget Locker it is. I appreciate the offer though

Well now that we are all comfy with our new ICS phones, let's talk launchers.
While I kinda liked blur home from 2.3.6, I am not super pleased with ICS' home.
But fear not, Check out apex launcher! IMO it's a lot like LauncherPro but for ICS, You get the scrolling dock (I've always loved that), sweet window transitions, and scrollable widget support (a must for me). Also for root users (and which of us aren't rooted? lol), you can drag and drop widgets on and off of your homescreen. Not to mention have them overlap if necessary.
I'm loving it! Find it in the play store:HERE.
Find the Pro version unlock in play store: HERE.
How to use Moto stock widgets on other launchers?
Unfortunately certain widgets just won't come up on non-stock launchers. Such as quick contacts. They will only work on the stock home. I personally know no way of making them work.
thats what im using! also tried nova launcher as well but i like this one better. love the scrolling dock...keeps my screen uncluttered.

I actually have been using Apex myself and my quick contacts widget works. I thought it didnt at first either but what I was pressing was the green dialer on the widget and getting no results. But then I deleted and placed the widgets back and pressed the number itself above mobile and you press the message icon to direct message. Hope this worked for you man. Check it out I got some shots of it:

launchers
Do any of you guys have problems with launchers affecting your battery? I have installed many launchers (GoLauncher, Launcher Pro), and while they look nice and are customizable, my battery always seems to suffer...went from like 16 hours medium usage to like 13, with no other changes besides adding the launchers.

Nope. Check your battery monitoring to find where the culprit is. Also, you can DL Badass battery monitor from the play store and try that.

Don't get me wrong, I like Nova as well. It just feels like Apex has more customize options. Both are very alike and great on ICS.

Crud, i know there was a reason i liked apex better but can't remember...
Dx I'm actually running the paid version of apex which is even better.
More transitions, and so forth. Its only a couple of bucks, you sold give it a whirl!

I've been running apex since sunday now and found that it was causing a significant battery drain, today in fact i was watching it closely and i was 6hrs on the battery with 1:45 of the display on using 78% of the power and I was down to 50% life left, I've already noticed a significant difference having removed apex.
