Stock Gingerbread Look Tutorial - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

Like Stock Android? Love the look of the Nexus S? You've come to the right place.
1. If you have not already download LauncherPro Here
2. Download this Android Icon Set Here
3. Save these images (Dock + Phone + App Drawer + Browser )
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Setting up LauncherPro.
- long press the 1st and 5th icons on the dock and set them as a shortcut, then hit Homescreens.
5. 'Theming' the icons to Stock Android.
- using the above icon set. Use them to replace the original icon. To theme icons in LauncherPro,it's not as easy as Go Launcher EX or ADW EX. LP lacks theming,that's about it
- long press on the homescreen and create a new shortcut for each application. Once selected, it will prompt you to create the shortcut,tap the original icon and replace it from the above icon set.
There you have it, have a problem, leave a post

[ICONS] Start Menu Folder Icons

Personally I thought the folder icons in LEO are ugly, and I remembered seeing a set of nice folder icons from Dutty's ROM, so I took that and further extend that to other folders such as messaging and internet.
I don't want to claim full credits (despite creating some of the icons myself) but because I do not know the full origin (I think it might be HTC TouchPro2 default icons but I am not sure), pardon me if I've taken your work w/o any reference.
Here's the screenshot, and the icons. You can use JWMD app or CSMI app to change the icons. I can forward you the theme file if you like, so that you don't need to set the icon manually yourself.

ADW Launcher

Ok so I don't know if this has been mentioned before and if it has I apologize. I searched and didn't find anything. So I am running CM6 and as you guys know it comes with ADW. So if you press and hold the launcher icon and swipe up and hides the tab along with the phone and broswer to the left and right. Then I dragged some icons down and to my surprise they stayed. To get the launcher icon back all you do is swipe down in te area and it pops back up. Thought it was kinda cool. You can also add more apps then what the screen width allows you too and they are scrollable. Here is what my screen look like right now.

Yeah you can also enable swipe up to open an app. I use it for the phone. Combine it with beautiful widgets home and you can tap time for clock, date opens calendar and you can set whatever you want. Also don't forget to backup your ads settings so if you flash another Rom your set

Lock Screen modification question

When browsing through some Themes I have noticed some ics lock screens look like they have about 5 different apps you can launch from the lockscreen. Is that mod a zip you can flash or or is it baked into certain ROMS or is it simply a setting I am missing? I am using CM9 right now and I see no option to add more apps to launch on the lock screen.
Here is what I mean. (Sorry about size I just grabbed it from the thread)

hey there
this option is implemented in some ROMS like codename android who lets you choose up to 8 targets(4 costumizable).
other than that you can use app because there are few locker apps that does exacly that.
you can use go locker free theme:

or the paid version :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.italianlab.goscreenlock.theme.ics&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5pdGFsaWFubGFiLmdvc2NyZWVubG9jay50aGVtZS5pY3MiXQ..
please consider hitting the thanks button if it was useful
I would also recommend Go Lockker.
It has a lot of theming options.

May be a silly question but what is the Floating bar/window? Is it the stock side bar?

Pixel 2 Launcher look with Nova Launcher

I'm loving the look of the Pixel 2 launcher - super clean and minimalist.
Just thought I'd share this, which might help you to get a bit of the Pixel 2 launcher aesthetics.
With the latest beta of Nova (5.5-beta 3):
• Nova settings -> dock -> searchbar in dock (pick above or below)
• Select "image" as dock background and point the the attached PNG (make sure to change the crop to select the whole image, and use the "fill" option. I like 50% opacity for this
• Change the adaptive icons to wiggle in "look and feel"
• Change the menu pop-up to Oreo style in Nova settings -> look and feel -> popup menu
This way, I have a bit of the Pixel look with the additions of Nova. Profit.
