Took this from over at the Amaze theme forums here on xda..I take no credit for this.
Miui just released this app which will let you choose any of the Miui lockscreens. Some don't work due too resizing but I found the the honeycomb styled work really well.

If you can go and get it from the market.

I'm currently on Trip's MiUI, and I really can't get myself out of it, but at the same time I really want to go back to CM7.
Are there any amazing themes for CM7 + ADWEX that would compare to the theming that MiUI has? I'm running NEON (Blue) right now. Also, I really love the custom lockscreen's that MiUI has, anything comparable using CM7 + ADWEX?
widget locker which isnt free, but worth the price you pay for the lockscreen
and if you like the miui launcher, theres one on the android app thread
I went back to CM7 last night. I got WidgetLocker, and I'm trying to figure out how to get those custom icons on the lockscreen. I wanted a minimalist approach to it. I want a similar lockscreen to the MiUI one where it's a wheel and you just drag the centre to the app icons. I don't think that can be done on WidgetLocker though.
I have the miui theme on my widget locker. You have to go to the XDA thread for widget locker

I found an interesting app, CCLauncher ics style .
You can download it at

Share your experience about this launcher.
Sense 3.5, Android 2.3.5
Thanks for the heads up, but unfortunately a waste of time, very buggy and crashes constantly, but could just be my galaxy note

There is already another thread abouth this ccLauncher. I tried it and it is not very customizable. For example you can only choose asian cities for the weather.
Edit: Sorry my bad it was the ssLauncher i ment, but honestly it looks very very similar to me lol

Theme is nice but no stricte ICS icons here, 5 ICS icons and program crashed
I'll post today my ICS theme for Go Launcher in "Themes"
So i'm in an ICS phase right now, and I really enjoy the stock gingerbread launcher in terms of how smooth it is. I found this original GB launcher on one of the forums that's been modified previously before.
I took the liberty of theming the bottom bar to match more closely to ICS. I'm not sure how many will actually use this launcher as it doesn't have much functionality, but it does give you that feeling of AOSP with a hint of ICS.
Therefor i thought i'd post it as my first contribution to XDA.
So whats the best MIUI rom for the nexus s samoled??
I really like the stock look on orginal ics 4.0.4, but the battery life doesnt satisfy me enought.. So if i choose a miui rom based on 2.3.6 instead of 4.0 versions of miui, is the battery going to be better??
And i would really like to have example 1, 2. 3, top miui roms
Would really appriciate it
I've been sticking to MIUIEXPERIENCE since it has the Xperia launcher included in the ROM. Most MIUI roms don't have a launcher so there is no app drawer.
Since MIUI sticks to the Apple interface, you won't have a launcher in the rom. If you choose Catalyst or Oodie Prime, which are just as well put together, you can download ZEAM launcher form the market or any other launcher if you prefer the app drawer.
Also, all MIUI roms have an app called Themes that comes with it. You use this app to download hundreds of different layouts and icons, including ICS themes.
Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.
You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.
You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.
Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!
