[Q] [noob] [Verizon] Changing to stock ICS icons and stock ICS apps

Hi everyone - first post here EVER so be gentle. First of all major props to the insane dev action attacking these phones, esp. the Verizon bootloader. Awesome to watch, can't wait for the results.
Question: I'm getting the vzw SGS3, and while I'd like to eventually flash a CM10/JB ROM, in the meantime I'm interested in clearing out as much of the touchwiz as possible without a full ROM. I'm looking at Apex Launcher and that seems like it can change a bunch of the icons, and I've read the thread about using ICS apps.
1. Will Apex Launcher change icons (camera, phone) to stock ICS icons? is there any other way to do it?
2. Does the VZW root solution posted now allow me to remove touchwiz apps and install the ICS apps I want (messages, calendar, email, calculator)? I'd plan on using Titanium backup
thanks! keep up the amazing work

one other question I thought of -
Is touchwiz done in Roboto font? If not, is there any way to get it back in? I really like the stock look.

[REQUEST / MOD / THEME] New JB K1 All Inverted Dark

I wish I had the knowledge to do this myself, but there are too many that are talented at this for me to mess up my phone. Is it possible for a fully INVERTED / DARK Theme / MOD on the new JB leak? I can find some things (GAPPS, a few system apps) but nothing that is complete. Battery life is much improved with the dark background, and every little bit helps to get JB good battery life (for me at least). Much appreciated if anyone can help!!!!

What inverted gapps are u using ?

the JB leak that you speak of is touchwiz...you can not flash gapps (which is built for AOSP ROMs) to a touchwiz ROM. This will make you have so many fc's or may even soft brick till you flash something else! for this to be done properly, you will have to invert framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and all the apps that you want inverted! just thought i would let you know about the gapps thing!

This is from eschelon, it is just a xml code change. Change the true to false for inverted. Stock is black background just depends on what the dev prefers.

if you switch to AOSP download the black exodus theme. its fantastic.

I would like a inverted TW rom!

Eclipse AOSP is a super clean ICS/JB looking theme(w/ cm10's circle battery) with black as much as possible and inverted apps. So I'm hoping his TW version has the same theme. I have his beta 2 version of the TW rom downloaded but not sure if I want to flash it. It's got a couple of annoying bugs, and I'm not sure if it has the theme yet. I can't stand the stock look of TW anymore, not since ICS, anytime before that and stock AOSP looked like crap and TW was a refreshing change.

I read a while back that "pimpmaneaton" was going to update his eyecandy theme to work with the new JB touchwiz, but so far no news as to when. This is the type of theme I am hoping for, because it doesn't have to be specific, as it uses VrTheme to change images, not the whole .apk . hope something shows up soon, the white backgrounds and touchwiz colored dialog boxes are driving me nuts.. :-/

I flashed that theme on d2tmo 4.1.1 and it worked. I didn't use any of the mods but it worked. I had a systemui crash so I replaced it with one I lime rebooted and it works great

[Q] 4.2 Clock App on ICS?

I was wondering if I flashed or installed the Clock App from 4.2 on ICS 4.0.4 will it work or will it ruin the ROM and make me redo everything? I want to know if its even possible to flash or install the 4.2 version of the Clock App on ICS 4.0.4?
Thanks

Won't work. However, you can install Clock JB if you want the Jellybean clock. If you need the alarm too, you'll have to spend a small amount to get Clock JB+ instead.

I tried that today and it didnt work. However if you copy and paste deskclock from cm10.1 to cm10 it worms just great I so much more prefer the 4.2 clock over 4.1 app.

Yeah . and the new chronos app of CM rules.

Yea well I need the 4.2 or 4.1 Clock for ICS 4.0.4 and I'd really prefer not to install an app from the Market cause I want to keep everything as Stock as possible. Just the way I am i dont know aha

Looking for some stock apps.

I'm hoping to find a few ppl that are still running stock ICS. I recently flashed numa, which I love the rom but there are a couple of things of like back the way they were. I liked the stock email client, the stock swype keyboard, and last but not least i like the gallery app from stock cause it had that built in editor. If anyone could help me out with these apps I would be indebted to you.

Just FYI, that will probably not work as NUMA is a deodexed ROM and the apps you're requesting are odexed. Of course, depending on how badly you want them, there are many ways and threads/tutorials on how to deodex that you could check out.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.

Thanks for the heads up on that one.

I've been running stock for a long time, and I found the Xposed framework which lets you add modules and tweak your phone like mad, you just have to have some modules. The cool thing is it runs the background on stock ICS, and if there is a problem all you have to do is disable the framework, no having to flash backups and whatnot. I've been working on a theme for stock ICS to get that CM10 style theming going on, and it's coming along pretty nicely. It uses the Xtheme module to do the work. I'll post some links and maybe you all might find some other things that you like and all that.

I guess this device is dead not one person posted a single stock apk and this thread is a year old. wow. shouldn't have bought this legacy device kinda still thought it was useful. can't find stock messaging app anywhere or launcher

Any ICS custom ROMs?

I am looking for a custom ICS rom for xt926. All the ones in the android dev section seem to have been upgraded to JB. Right now im using the stock version that came with my phone originally but i wuld like something thats been completely debloated. Any ideas?
I want to keep the hdmi overscan options that ICS has if youre wondering why i want this.

no? Ok well, is there a way to replace the MotoApps with their stock android counterparts? I wanted to do this with the clock (MotoDeskClock.apk in system/apps) but everytime i tried the clock would fc. I think it might have something to do with it being odexed but im really not sure.

Could just root it and remove all the bloat.
