I just flashed MIUI to my X tonight, I already have it on my Nook, but I am not a fan of having all my programs on my home screens or having to put folders on my home screens either. That being said, I do like the theme options and I want to use some of the icons that the launcher uses, namely the dock background, the phone icon, contacts, etc....So, anyone know where I can find them?

They are all system apk's that you will have extract to get to those images. I would think the same goes for the dock background (should be under some sort of launcher.apk). I'm not on MIUI but I would imagine that's where they are at.
I tried the system apks, but the themed icons are not there.

Can you explain a little more? What are you looking for it to have?

Well at the bottom of the homescreen there is like a taskbar that has four apps . Gtalk, dialer, browser ,and email. I want to personalize the apps to stuff that I use more. Like market, sms, etc.

To change the bottom dock you can download a different launcher from the market. I'd recommended Launcher Pro, or ADW. I personally recommend Launcher Pro. You can customize the homescreens and the dock itself.
Hey thanks, launcher pro did the trick! I wanted the 3d app drawer so that worked out very well!!

No problem, glad to help!
Hey guys, greetings from over at the SGS4G section. My wife has a mt4g and wants some more themes... But she won't let me root it or change it in any way...lol.
So.. are there any themes that she can add to the stock rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
No, not without root. Your only option is to change the look of the homescreen by using a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW. Those offer a lot of customization and can be used without root. Launcher themes don't change near as much of the phone's appearance as a full system theme does though.
Dxtop, go launch

Thanks guys, just wasn't certain since it came with the sense themes
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
yep, best bet is the hundreds of different themes with 3rd party launchers.. adw/launcher pro. If she wants wants to change the look of her icons i think anycut or bettercut doesnt require root. Desktop visualizer is worth a look ad well.

Go launcher ex is free and has a bunch of themes. Also they are icon packs u can choose if you put them on your sdcard from the themes section I believe. Desktop visualizer will let you change the icons on screen and go launcher will let you put custom icons on the bottom bar.

I am not rooted and do not wish to use a launcher. I am not keen on folders either. Is there a way of sorting my apps?
Cheers!

The only way of that is doing smethng on the home screen. The app drawer is already alphabetical.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
App drawer apps are already a to z. Folders are great and apps can be dragged in any order within them. You should really consider a second launcher, GO in particular, but they all offer so much more than stock. Changing the folder icon and sorting drawer options are just 2 of the many perks.
Well I have now installed Go Launcher, but I can't work out how to organise my home screen icons. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me. Thanks!

You've probably figured it out by now, but it's just long press and select "apps" or "widgets" or whatever and they will get added. You can long press the icon to edit it (change it to any icon you have in gallery). Drag 2 together to make a folder and edit folder icon.

if you mean is making folders inside app drawer then you can yous adw or go launcher for that
Nova Launcher Prime also lets you create folders, and in my opinion is faster than ADW and light years faster than Go Launcher.
These apps are all good and we'll but I don't like the ICS look and I would like something permanent and not an app like a root mod or something..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
That doesn't make sense, just get a new launcher. It is permanent.

I'm trying to organise my homescreen and I want to sort my apps into folders but I want the folders to know as just words on the homescreen instead of showing the folder. I don't really know how to explain it, I swear I've seen screenshots of people's homescreens organised like this. Does anyone have any idea?
You'll need to use a custom launcher mate

I have apex launcher installed and i've been looking for the answer for a few hours, i just don't know what to do.
Make an icon in Photoshop, Gimp or whatever (use transparent background and save as PNG), edit folder properties and use this PNG file as icon (download if to phone first of course). I'm not sure how does it work in Apex but in Nova it's pretty simple.
Somehow my GT-i9505 sent this...
