Hello everyone!
I am brand new to the android world, so please be patient with me.
I installed Launcher Pro (the free version) on my Chacha, and then bought the Lunar Ui Theme Pack for that launcher.
I went to settings from Launcher Pro and clicked on the Lunar Ui package, restarted and.. voila!
Some icons changed, like the Twitter and Whatsapp icons... but most of them stayed the same!
For example, the phone icon is supposed to be pink and pretty (like shown in the screenshot from the store) but mine looks just plain and boring, like before.
It's weird that some icons changed and some didn't. Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to change the icons manually for each app? Any suggestions?
I am using Super Stock Rom, in case that helps.
Thank you for taking your time for reading this!

I am going to start working on a CM-Froyo-Theme for when Google finally decides to drop the source and we get some blue bubblegum flavored Froyo.
I want some community suggestions as to what you would like to see in it.
Tell me about colors, Icons, etc.
Notification Bar?
Launcher?
Just post it. I am going to start working next week as school is over for me. I will incorporate the best Ideas from you guys.
- Black notification bar with KSpec like battery icon, maybe in Cyan, and with the battery percentage remaining in the center.
- Black and shiny pop up prompt windows and notification pull down.
- 7 space power control widget with cyan colored dots (instead of bars)
- I like launcher Pro, but have not tried ADW and that seems to be fairly popular. I personally like the non-3D app drawer. 5x4 icon setup on home screen is nice too.
- I like when you pull down the notification bar that is says notifications at the bottom.
- Maybe some transparent widgets
- Lots of wallpaper choices
- Lots of ringtones etc.
Looking forward to see what you come up with, even if it doesn't include any of the above.
Also a launcher pro fan. Some other guy has some super nice dialer that is a simplistic white which I really liked. It is on a desire rom. I am a fan of the more minimalistic kind of themes personally.
Glad to see you are starting early. Will try to add some actually useful comments tomorrow when I get up...
This thing was inspired by newone757 (Layout thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455) and and his beautiful looking icons and idea. I ended up modifying the elegant steel theme as some of it meshed well with this concept and added some spiffed up the transition animations. This is in it's early stage and needs to be cleaned up some but i'm throwin it out there so hopefully I can get some feed back.

Icons are attatched at the bottom except for the colored tile ones.... Heres the direct link for them http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=391882&d=1283212553 and here is the authors thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769047
Good app to have for this is Colors and the Author is Tim Clark, you can find it on the market. It basically lets you choose from a variety of solid color wallpapers.
The animations have a little more pop to them if you set the transition speed to slow in spare parts.

Nice stuff
boot loops
This is awesome! Any chance for a sense version?
ded secksy!!
Except for the settings menu icons, they're a little bigg, imo
I've been planning to theme the AOSP dialer but I think I may not need to now. I love the minimal look on that one
Updated a few thing to make it look a lot better see first post for changelog. I also found that this theme runs smooth on 09/15 but not so much when I flash snap kernal 7.6. I am running it perfeclty on 9/14's nightly with snap turbo though.
Wow.. Once I saw the first swipe at this "7" concept, I knew there would be more goodies to follow... Since Elegant Steel is a pretty much grey/black/white theme, i'm seeing a version of this which has all of the large elements to it and page titles, but only in a gradient theme with no color.
Hopefully one of the launcher developers adds this functionality to ADW or LP in a more automated process, as its still somewhat of a hack to get the finished look.
Great work..

Yes you can just get the widget icons from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
looks nice... will try it out.
Is Snap simply not working on the nightly's past 9/14 then? I believe Spicytuna or Shift said in the Snap thread that the kernel size changed in the stock kernel after that, so that may be the reason.
I'm loving the theme. Is there a way to speed up the market cause search results take forever to pop up also, is there a way to fix the lay over on the search bar? Apart from these issues, wonderful job to all the people who made this possible.
what's the clock and battery widget?

Hey man ... Can u make this for the new rc 6.1. ? Orvthe last nightly. ? I love it.
Hi
When I change the theme on ADW Launcher Ex, some of the icons does not change to the current theme, most notably the ones on the dock bar like the phone, contacts and messages icon. Weirdly though, others do change like the internet, calculator and maps icons.
I can manually create a new shortcut and choose the right icons from the theme icon packs. The missing icons is available in these theme packs but it will not change them automatically when I change the theme.
I also have GO Launcher Ex installed and when I change the theme on that, all the icons bow down to the power of my superiority and change to the current theme. No problems there...
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this.
Not all ADW themers theme the same icons. So when you install a new theme some of the icons don't change.
I would think that the contacts icon would change though for instance because all the theme packs that I have installed have an icon for contacts but none of them updates it with their icon when I change the theme. I know that I'm not the only person with this problem but I can't find a solution. I found a similar thread on samsunggalaxysforum but with no solution.
for the app's icons that should change, i've had to delete the shortcut and put it back, then it changes. otherwise, the icon hasn't been themed.
ok thanks. it doesn't work for me though. if i have york's blue theme active for instance and i create a new icon for internet, it uses the internet icon from york's blue theme but when i create a new icon for messaging, it uses the default samsung touchwiz icon. i can manually change it to use york's blue icon but when i then change the theme again, it still shows the york's blue theme icon and not the new one.
i just installed the same theme on my DInc2 and i get the same results as you. i suppose the switch was overlooked by the author, or it wasn't themed. i do see a couple "message" looking icons, but they could be for other services. i don't really know. but i don't use themes, so i am unfamiliar with alt icons. i like my ADW plain-jane. sorry i couldn't be more help.
you can download icon packs from android market and change icons manualy by clicking on them..there are tons of them on market if i remember correctly.
click on app on your screen > edit > change icon > from adw pack > solved!
thanks guys. i guess thats my only option then. i think i'll use go launcher ex instead because there the themes automatically change the icons and as i like to change the phone theme to suit my mood, it's just too much hassle to change all the icons manually. it's a shame though because adw seems to be smoother and quicker.
adw is preety neat...but i had same problem even when i was trying to instal some themes...most of the icons normaly changed...but a few system apps havent :/ i can recomend MIUI if u're willing to try it
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
i have actually already downloaded cyanogenmod so i'll give that a try first and when i'm tired of it i'll try miui.
Thanks. I installed MIUI v 4 based on ICS and been playing around with it for a couple of days. I like it a lot.
ADW Launcher did exactly the same thing on MIUI so it seems to be something that the developer needs to address.
Hi, just update my 1+1 to Lollipop age today.
Everything works good but looks weird!
Look, can someone tell me why my icons have this bright color frames on it?
Looks like rainbow on drugs on phone...
Any helps? I´m using Apex launcher but in default launcher looks same..
Menu look
Screen look
I suppose you're taking about CM12S, that's hexo theme icons that come by default, you can change theme in settings, themes, select the one on the right that is system, click on it once and two buttons will appear, press on the green one that says apply, there you go! Hope I helped.

The icons are built in within the theme. Change the theme and your icons also should be changed.
There are loads of themes for CM12 and you can chose which suits your taste.
Thank you, I changed theme to normal Android and now looks normal
Hey guys,
Please have a look at the screenshot from my OPO.
This happened just two weeks back.
All app icons in my phone started changing intro this rounded look.
I checked in other phones the icons are normal and transparent without the boxed icons.
I am on stock ROM cm13. No mods.
Using google launcher latest update.
I tried uninstalling, didn't help.
Thanks.
