A far easier method is to download LauncherPro from the market. Then just Google for some free icons or TouchWiz Icons. Launcher Pro will let you set whatever icons you want for apps. Way easier and way less chance of screwing something up. I wasn't a big fan of the green icons either, so I went this route and made it look just the way I wanted.

You can unzip the old apks and find the appropriate .png file, then copy it into the Bionix-v apks and adb push them to /system/app
That's what I did when I ran Nero, getting back the original (FAR LESS UGLY AND GREEN) AOSP icons (though, the AOSP mms app already has an ugly icon, but I hate it anyway and use TouchWiz mms).

Delete the icon from the home page. Then long press to add a shortcut. When you do, Launcher Pro will pop open a window and give you the option to change the name under the icon. While it's in that mode, look under the icon in the pop up window and it will say "touch the icon to change it". It will then take you to your gallery where you can select a new icon.

Wow! That looks very nice! Gonna try it right now Thanks!

Hello! You did very nice job with this theme. I've done everything as you've described and applied it. It runs flawlessly, but there is a strange problem with Facebook and Twitter widgets. It just don't want to display them. They aren't even at the widget list. I've tried to reinstall both applications and it seemed to work, but after restart this problem appeared again. Is this thing just by me or it can be related with the theme?
P.S. : I've tried to post a screenshot, but as a new user I don't have this right. If needed I'll send a PM with link

I really like that theme but I face the problem, that my SIM-Card is not recognized when the OS is started. Any ideas what to do to fix that problem?
EDIT: Problem solved, somehow my SIM-Card had a bad connection...

First of all I would like to say that this is amazingly nice! I just have some feature requests which will hopefully be considered to be added in a new version. It's a bit inconsistent with the colors, the red is missplaced in the context menue, i would be more happy with a blue-black style.
Here is my wishlist:
Flashing Bump of gingerbread, this appears when trying to over scroll
3D Menue, I just saw that with Nexus One and Nexus S for now
Gingerbread dialer, the current menue is wonderfull, leave the blue as it is =D
Gingerbread keyboard in blue with the select tool
black context menue like in gingerbread and icons in blue
browser addressbar in black
notification bar slider like in gingerbread
battery icon like in gingerbread
EDIT: I just saw that there is a gingerbread theme and that i should post that stuff in the other thread, sorry for that!

Since widgets don't work when the app is on the SD card, maybe they somehow got installed there.

Well I guess zeppelinrox was right. It's because Facebook and Twitter apps were installed on the SD card. I moved them to phone and everything was just fine.
First I tried with the default CM theme, but it happened again. Soo I think the problem is solved for now.

Is there a way to remove the ugly picture or the birds? I'd really like to have my own picture there.
And a small bug: If you have the lockscreen in landscape the sliders are not themed.

Which ugly picture and what birds?
If you are referring to the wallpaper, you can have even uglier ones if you want to.The choice is yours.
Regarding lockscreen problem, i'll look into it.

Looks great! I'll try it.
Thnx

I'm using it right now. It's very nice theme, like every other from you. I've been using yours GB theme for Cronos and CM. And I have a question - could make a pure Sense theme for CM 6.1.2?

I don't take donations or anything, so could you guys help spread the word to all of your friends so i don't feel like I did all of this for just a few people? Or at least hit the thank you button every now and then. I would appreciate that.
Alrighty fellas, I've compiled a theme together for pretty much any android device capable of running CM7, but since I created it on my Optimus V, I'll post it here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES USED IN THIS THEME, I SIMPLY COMBINED WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO ME. Furthermore, a few of these apps are paid apps, and I cannot suppply those to you.
I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to AOSP for creating such a great base ROM to work with, nhnt11 for creating the themed menus and status bar, and the devs of all of the apps used in this project.
What is themed:
-Status Bar
-Notification Drawer
-The entire Launcher
-App Drawer
-Menus (including highlighted text)
-Widgets (Only "LP Sense UI widgets" "Toggles" and "Search" are themed)
-Keyboard
-Lockscreen
-Clock
-In-App Titles
-Boot Animation
-HTC app: Claculator
-HTC app: Music
-HTC app: Teeter
-Wallpapers / backgrounds
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Icons
-Fonts
HOW TO FIX "ERROR INVALID_KEY" WITH FACEBOOK WIDGET
In order to get functionality from the Facebook widget back, as per THIS, you will need to uninstall the facebook app from your phone, then uninstall and reinstall LP sense ui app. From there, when you enter your credentials in the widget settings, it should work. After it is done synching and whatnot, you may reinstall Facebook app. It *should* work.
Step One
You are going to need to install a CM7 ROM with the Theme Chooser application if you want the status bar / menu themes to work. At this point, I'd like to give you this warning:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU EFF UP YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE DOING THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
#Step 1a (Skip if not rooted)
In order to install the fonts that I've included, you will need root access. There are two ways to install them: one through ADB, the other through a
market app, Type Fresh (included in the "app" folder) I feel it necessary to link to the original page for instructions. Here is the URL:
http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2009/04/25/how-to-change-fonts-in-android/
Step Two
After installing the ROM, you will need to download NTSense, provided by nhnt11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459
Just follow the instructions on the link provided.
Step Three
Now you will need to install LP Sense UI, provided at the bottom of this thread. THIS IS NOT THE PAID VERSION, IT IS THE REGULAR FREE VERSION, HOWEVER WIDGETS DO WORK.
You will need to set it up properly for it to work. Do the following:
From Homescreen:
Menu>Preferences>Sense Mod Configuration
Set Number of docks to "1"
Dock Background>Standard (be sure to press it, even though it is selected, or else it wont work properly)
Home button on app drawer "on"
Enable auto Rotation "off"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should be it for the launcher. You can set other things how you like, I usually use "Rotate 2" as my transition, it looks great with the theme
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect> "Rotate 2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four
You will need to purchase "WidgetLocker" from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
It is $1.99 USD, but it is worth it, it is helpful for many other themes and is great as a lockscreen in general.
be sure to open WidgetLocker from the app drawer to open it in edit or "Tool" mode.
FROM "TOOL MODE:"
Menu>Settings>Enable WidgetLocker
(Skip this if you don't have root) Menu>Settings>Advanced>Root Helper>Check All Boxes, set Autoswipe Pin/Password to "Auto"
Menu>Settings>Advanced>Check "Hide Notification Icon" and "Hide Interaction Warning"
Configure the rest how you prefer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While you are in tool mode, long press every app, slider and widget and drag it to the trash bin at the bottom of the screen. Then do this:
Menu>Add>Custom Slider
Select "Sense" from the box directly underneath the picture of the slider.
Save.
You will need to long press the slider and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen, being careful not to put it in the trash bin (or else you'd have to make a new slider )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Five
Install any of the clocks in from the included "clocks" folder found under "apps"
Should you install the flipclock app, be warned:
NOTE: THIS CLOCK HAS NO FLIPPING ANIMATION. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT DOES FLIP IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I WOULD NEED A LOT OF HELP.
Step Six
In order to get the toggle widgets, such as wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, silence, etc. you need to Purchase Beautiful Widgets from the Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result
I have included a brightness control and battery indicator themed to look Sense-esque. They are at the bottom of the Post.
FOR THE BATTERY INDICATOR:
1. Apply Widget to Homescreen
2. Tap on it
3. Select the "Preferences" tab in the top right corner.
4. Check every single box, especially Swap Low/High res. You can select the temperature unit of your choice.

Oh, and if you're so great, why don't you make a cm7 sense theme that looks an acts identical to the real thing, including all the icons, app drawer, and Widgets. You should be able to get that done in a couple hours right?

[Q]Integrating Holo Locker into System.

I mean, not like making it a system app, but instead, adding to framework-res.apk so it would be as spontaneous as the default lockscreen. Is there any way to do this. I tried Lidroid Lockscreens but Rotary, Ring, Slider are just plain boring!!

I understand what you're saying. You'll have to literally edit the lockscreen part of the apk. So unless you're an app developer and know smali editing very well, i doubt you'll be able to that. Because it's just like rebuilding the holo locker app inside the default lockscreen. Making it a system app would be less difficult.

[Q] Anyone tackling the hideous folder background?

So far I don't really mind the stock launcher, it's alright. I'm a long time user of Nova on my GNex and generally liked the options for folder backgrounds.
The biggest complaint I've got about the launcher so far are the hideous backgrounds and icon ordering. Is anyone working on a mod to change that, or seeing that it is part of the stock launcher, are we pretty much screwed?
Any info on how to change them would be awesome, they are the biggest problem i have with the stock launcher. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you're talking about but if you hit the menu key you should be able to sort them how you want.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

I've attached two screenshots. The background is the tan or blue square, and you'll see how stock layers them. Thats what I'm looking for.

Lol.... Stop me if I'm wrong but can you just drag the icons out the folders and drag any icon you want into them?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

Sure, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. Maybe I'm being unclear.
The UI for a folder in LG's skin is an ugly box, and they just put the icons as little tiny icons. To me it is very ugly. In stock Android they layer them as you can see.
What I'm looking for is a possible mod to change the look of a folder on the homescreen. That is really all.

I totally understand your point and I think so too that's an ugly folder implementation and a shame to an otherwise awesome Launcher, also once you have items in the folders, you can't have them reordered alphabetically. I'm sure there are ways of changing at least the folder design (if rooted of course).
I'll try to find some time to do something about it, but don't hold your breath okay?
Cheers!

As far as someone working on making a better interface, I would think that there is a mod out for that, but I'd have to check on it.
If you want to reorder the icons, open up said hideous folder, click and hold the icon you want to move for around 2 seconds, then move it to your desire location WITHIN the folder. I reorganize my icons all the time.
For me, coming from 3 years of vanilla android, I like some aspects of the LG skin, but there are definitely things a lot of little things that I miss from stock android.
I hope that I answered, at the very least, one of your questions.

Thanks, but I wish there was a better solution. I'd hate to rearrange my huge folders. For small contents it's ok though.

Hideous or not, these are probably the most useful folders I've ever used, to me. Have any of you tried resizing the folder? You can make the folders whatever size you want and scroll through all of the app/shortcut icons. These are the only thing keeping me from using a custom launcher because I haven't found a way to duplicate the scrollable folders.
See pic attached.

So far I don't really mind the stock launcher, it's alright. I'm a long time user of Nova on my GNex and generally liked the options for folder backgrounds.
The biggest complaint I've got about the launcher so far are the hideous backgrounds and icon ordering. Is anyone working on a mod to change that, or seeing that it is part of the stock launcher, are we pretty much screwed?
Any info on how to change them would be awesome, they are the biggest problem i have with the stock launcher. Thanks!

I figured out a way to insert the stock AOSP folder PNG's into the LGHome.APK in the necessary spots but the problem is you would also need to build the framework (i think) for the icons in the folders to appear/arrange themselves like AOSP does. Even after i have put in the stock PNG's the launcher just arranged them the same as stock.
So is it possible to replace the 10 available folder icons with 10 other ones of your own? Sure. Get it to be perfectly AOSP, maybe, but going to take more skillz than i have.

Hideous or not, these are probably the most useful folders I've ever used, to me. Have any of you tried resizing the folder? You can make the folders whatever size you want and scroll through all of the app/shortcut icons. These are the only thing keeping me from using a custom launcher because I haven't found a way to duplicate the scrollable folders.

I'm with you 100%. This is the one thing that no other launcher I've tried offers (admittedly I haven't tried that many, since I prefer a minimalist approach and most launchers seem overloaded with "features").
The stock LG launcher really feels better than most custom ones to me.
My ideal would be a home page/screen with scrollable folders and a dock that can hold widgets and multiple app drawers. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

Folder look
I use Nova Launcher. Folder settings to 'custom'. then I choose a image of a folder with a transparent background (alpha channel)
