As the subject reads, I would love miui with stock icons. I know some of you may not agree, but people say that my phone looks a lot like an iphone at work when I show it off running miui. That's not a bad thing, I personally don't like it though. Anyway, if someone could come out with a "stock" theme (or whatever your want to call it) then that would be amazing.

You could just use LauncherPro or a similar dock. The icons will still have the colored box around them, but they will be much smaller. Obviously the four big icons at the bottom will be gone as well.
That's the thing though, I like miui's launcher, but I don't the icons. I don't like their blocky-ness, if that makes much sense.

I agree. The icons blockiness and the fact the app icons can't go into a "drawer" are the only reasons I went back to Virtuous.
+1000000000
No app drawer
No android stock Icons
Despite the fact that this MIUI Rom is awesome, those 2 things made me going back to my old android stock ROM.
And what is the interest to put an alternative launcher since if you put a launcher (LauncherPro, Zeam,..) You lose the MIUI advantages...
They should considerate that app drawer (and putting app in that drawer) is (in a ergonomic point of view) is the best thing ... Since Day 1 there's a "menu" in every phone, and seeing all my apps on the homescreen is a little bit ... disappointing me !

There's a theme in the online theme section called Android2.3 that will give you the stock icons

Check miui.us for themes. I can't remember which one it is but the icons are called Normal Android.

I was curious to see a "native theme" and to see if it asked for any Permissions when I went to install it.
It installed and I am able to select the theme and it even applied (pretty nice, even the icons are sans-backgrounds) but it's been showing as "Installing..." the entire time...

}
I did a Restart to see if that would kill the ongoing "Installing..." progress and that took care of it. I'll email the Developer and I figured I'd post my experience here, in case anyone ran into the same *issue.
It's a pretty slick looking theme, although the circuit board image is a bit too much for me. I like the clear icons and the Android-green throughout. I'll ditch the circuit board lock image, but it persists throughout (e.g. in the App Tray).
Some screen shots...
I'm one of the few that actually likes the mySense/TMO twist on Sense and while I've tried LP and ADW, I'm quite happy with stock. Standard issue just feels better sometimes.
I also realized some might not like the images posted inline, but I'm a fan of not having to click to open an image (unless it's got a thickbox wrapper).
I talked to the developer of this theme also (really nice guy)
He did an amazing job on it.
but the green is not my thing so i have been talking to him about how he was able to make it. (only one i have seen)
he said it has to be done by source so im looking into that.
i would love to start making themes for the my touch 4g.
i dont have the phone im just working on a port for the incredible and would like to make some themes for all the people using the port and would post them here also.
I'm running on Bionix-V ''2.2 (Froyo)'' by teamwhiskey.
What else would make it really really cooler and better.
And optional: Whats the best apps?
Thanks!
depends on how far u wanna go to make it that kool.. the vibrant will never be the koolest fone ever.. not even wen it was released. but wut u can do is install a Front Facing Camera, flash the new gingerbread leak (has a lot of bugs, only in Beta as of now) and thats basically it. with gingerbread on it that should make it cool enough considering not a lot of android users have it
Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey 2.5 is pretty cool. You should check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973208&page=50
When CM7 becomes more stable, you should definitely check that out
Axura or Trigger Axura has a boatload of themes in it CM7 when it is no longer beta......
Trigger + ADW EX + Ninja Apps + Widget Locker = Profit

I use atriarc, nothing else. no addition kernels, no modems etc.
It works perfectly the way it is.
It gets updated every week so its hard to keep up but i found the first version the best and i haent flashed a rom since.
Fast, beauty, and stablity usually don't come in 1 rom.

You make a wallpaper in photoshop with icons... then you set your wallpaper, and place blank icons over the wallpaper (the wallpaper is the icon).
If you use Trigger, you will love the wallpaper I just put up.

The closer and closer we get to the Unpacked event we get to see their sweets. Either way the UI is nice and I hope they changed the media player and Music
I found this about a half hour ago, saying that and Samsung are going to postpone http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...d-Google-cancel-Nexus-Prime-phone-launch.html unpacked.
Saw the video and I really really like the UI a lot!! Hopefully the prime will go to tmobile in December or even January, hope it does.... I prefer this because it will be the latest and the greatest smartphone with its non-capacitive button design and latest OS..
if that's real, it looks alright. though, i'm surprised at kernel 3.0.1. the switch to 3.0 was just over two months ago, so it would surprise me to see it on android already (considering Ubuntu is still on 2.6.38 and Fedora is using 2.6.40, i would think the full linux distros would be changing the kernel version to 3.0 before android).
Hopefully with Google improving Androids UI, less manufacturers would mess with it.
^^ the manufacturers will always have their own signature of android launcher to differentiate their devices from the rest.. I don't mind it at all as long as they make the UI better and add useful functionality into it..
Is ICS gonna be 2.4 or 4.0?
I just wish that manufacturers would make their launcher work like any other third party launcher instead of integrating it like they do.

If it's a straight Google phone, won't the launcher be ICS stock?
Just something I noticed. Where is the "battery use "in the settings?

I think the fonts are better than current Android versions, but I'm not that impressed.
It's still asking for OEMs to molest it, as well, which is unfortunate.
Not enthused.

I saw a thread elsewhere in XDA about this, but lets make it all about the Evo... because different phones can do different things. That being said, I am an ICS junkie, and coming from GB the one thing I really missed were the screen transition options and customizabilty of the launchers for it....Sure Apex and Nova are great, but lack the holy sh*t factor many GB launchers could give you with themes, icons, docks, and screen transitions. I haven't heard about this launcher in the Evo threads, so I figured I would share with others who hadn't heard of it either. Once you figure this launcher out, you will fall in love with it and what you can do with it. It plays well with ICS roms.. even HWA ones and works well with GB roms. Give it a shot, you won't be dissapointed. It evens gives you an option to save your setup in a zip file to share with others. Everything you see is fully customizable even down to the font.
Here is the market link for free version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher&hl=no
I will start with my ICS setup - AOKP 33.
GB to follow!

Prior to 4.4 I had been using APEX launcher. It was very clean and simple. However, they have ceased to update their launcher for a while now. Does anyone know if a launcher available out there that has similar characteristics while maintaining the same aesthetics as 4.4? Thanks XDA!
Give Nova launcher a shot. I've been using it for a while now and wouldn't go back to any other launcher.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To add on to jayclarke94, Nova is definitely a good--if not better--alternative to Apex, however, if you want the aesthetics of 4.4 OOTB it may not hurt to opt-in for Nova's beta launcher. You can find the opt-in link on their G+ community page: https://plus.google.com/communities/103449253667195874971. It's totally free, will give you the look and feel of the Google Experience Launcher, and--better yet--has loads of customization options!
Here's a sample screenshot:

Looks strikingly similar to the GEL, eh? :good:
Another vote for Nova. Launcher is quick, has a lot of options, and the beta has the transparent bars.
I went for prime and I feel it was worth the couple bucks to support the dev and get the gestures and unread counts.
I use Holo Launcher HD. It just updated to include KK transparency. I've used it for over a year now and like it the best. Very similar to Nova Beta but includes a few features that I really like that Nova leaves out.
Check it out, its free & on the market.
Apex is still being developed. I am on new beta for kitkat right now. Just find official thread to find release.

Same here. Also, the free version of Apex has most of the paid features from Nova such as gestures.
Another one for nova Kit Kat
