Question about Rubix Ics 5.3 - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Can I change the icons to regular icons like the green ones so it looks like gingerbread and can I use theme chooser like in cyanogenmod
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA

You will have to use a diff launcher then. by default its launcher pro. I use go launcher for better customizations.

I've been running it again for a couple of days now. It's different. Pretty smooth. Slick transitions. Fairly customizable. There's been some great stuff done that's kinda fun to switch back & forth between just for a change of pace... at least for me. I've just made 'nands of about 10 ROMs and jump around from time to time. You know....just fun sometimes.

Is there a Gingerbread theme (notification bar looks like GB) for sense ROMS?

Hey everyone. I have been searching to no avail and was wondering if maybe someone can help. I'm using a pretty much stock rom, just rooted, and running adw EX. I know there are gingerbread themes for CM6.1, which change the notification bar icons and all to green, but I have yet to see one for a sense rom. Even the ADW themes dont change the notification bar (unless I'm missing something?) Can someone out there point me in the right direction if there is one? Thanks!
I have yet to see one and im a rom/theme junkie lol.

I made one that I am using on my phone right now with Wes's Z rom, but I can't for the life of me change the 3g icon to anything, it always remains the stock icon. Everything else is Gingerbread themed though. Apparently Wes is making one as well, I am asking him how he changed the 3g icon (if he was able to) so that I can finish mine. I did, however, incorporate DarkTharen's Conservative icons into my status bar, so the only Gingerbread icons in my status bar are the usuals (reception bars, battery [with percentage], and WiFi).

it's very simply to make the status bar black, with the green 3g,wifi, signal bars, battery, but the black menu is a different thing, within sense.

I've been running this since last night, and it seems to work much better for me than when I tried to run TW 4.5. The only issue I've had so far is with market updates crashing the market, but I'm sure that's from the way I restored all my apps, since I was so tired.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do this true TW4 standalone from the ROM, or is the only way to use this ROM?
If it is anything like TW4.5, you have to turn on landscape mode followed by a reboot. It only has to be done once but once you do you get landscape.

Yeah, all you need is the framework.jar from the framework folder and it needs to go in an Eh17 rom and you also need twlauncher from system/app

Just manually add the apps you want on the dock.
(App Drawer > Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid > Menu > Edit > *Make Changes* > Menu > Save > Menu > View Type > Go back to what you like.)
It's a lot more annoying than other launchers on the market, but you can still do it. TW4 seems to have a maximum of three apps, plus the app drawer. On the custom TW4.5, it allows for more, but the app drawer still will always be the right-most icon. Those two things are all I would as for Samsung.. well maybe an auto-hide home screen number too. Minor annoyances but a silky smooth launcher.
Also, thanks for the reply xboxfanj, about trying to add this without needing to flash the whole ROM.
Thanks.

If I can find the time, I might try learning how to do that, because I'm having a bit too much trouble combining my mods. I might tinker with it, along side working on getting ACS ICS where I want it on my phone. In the meantime, I've been using QQLauncher. It's nicer looking, and more of what I want, since it readily works with ACS ICS, but TW4 seemed to be a bit smoother for me. Now that the Galaxy Nexus has been announced, I might also be a little more patient as things develop. Not to mention, Cyanogen is getting pretty polished. Decisions, decisions.. I'll be glad when I'm finally settled on something. Until then, hopefully I can learn enough to help put some of these solid mods together.

ADW Ex doesn't change the appearance or operation (except for the app drawer, which is what you want anyway) unless you configure it to do so.
It has been updated to provide added functionality on top of ICS and it is working brilliantly.

How many people couldn't stand the ics touchwiz?

Even though I dont have ICS yet (****ty Rogers), I definitely agree with hawk
I was looking for a nexus experience but didnt want to get a galaxy nexus.
Thats why i would recommend Nova Launcher, Ive watched enough videos
I'm neutral, just looks like plain old touchwiz to me. Like the one we've always had, And I think we expected that. But with the added multitasking features And other added features its beem a pleasurable experience so far And I'm thourghly enjoying it.

Yea, the touch whiz completely ruined ICS for me. I had ICS running on my Inspire 4G before I upgraded to the Skyrocket, which was aosp ICS. I could definitely see all the differences straight away, and was quite underwhelmed by the ICS leak. I think some of the best parts of aosp ICS are missing. I used apex launcher for a while to try to make it a bit better, but in the end, went back to my NexusMod 4 backup.
Looking forward to some vanilla ice cream goodness.

Besides the launcher (which I ditched and bought Nova instead), I don't know what else is TW. I have no experience with ICS till today's flash-fest, so it all seems good to me (minus the TW launcher).

They also hobbled the lock screen. AOSP ICS allows for many music players to have controls on the lock screen. Samsung only supports it's own music player to have controls on it's TW lock screen. I just don't get it, why take away features?
On top of that to still not add a widget (since you are forced to use the stock TW music player to have lock screen controls) for the TW music player is just stupid. Makes you wonder how thought out TW is.

ICS style on ANY ROM

This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
