I tried to install Jelly Bean on my Optimus V, and got frustrated with not having Google Voice Search. I had originally enjoyed the BACKside ROM by JerryScript, I just wanted the Jelly Bean look and Google Now.
Well, after giving up on JB, I found out that I could get almost the same look and functionality on Gingerbread with some help with a few apps. I flashed a stripped down version of Gingerbread, and got to work. Here are the results:

(Maluuba, my Google Now replacement)
To get this, follow these steps:
1. flash Harmonia 2.09 (Google it).
2. Install the following apps from Google Play Store:
- Ice Cream Sandwich MDPI Theme
- Jelly Bean Wallpapers
- Holo Launcher
- Holo Locker
(I'm sorry I can't post links yet... noob)
3. When the pop up appears saying "Complete action using" choose Holo Launcher (not Holo Locker).
4. Enable the base theme by opening up the Theme Chooser app and selecting ICS. It will give an error, just ignore it and proceed.
5. Tweak all the other apps to get them how you want.
6. Go into the CyanogenMod settings and change the Notification power widget Indicator color to match the color of the icons in your status bar. Also, from the main CyanogenMod settings, find Lockscreen, go into Unlock options, and select Menu unlock. Then select Disable unlock slider.
7. To get the Google Now-like features, download an app from the Play store called Maluuba. It's pretty amazing, and the widget works just about how Google Now does, except for the unfortunate lack of Cards.
8. You're done! Enjoy your stable, pretty, fun new pretend Jelly Bean!
Note: If you have trouble with Holo Locker, install an app in the Play Store called Auto Memory Manager, go into the app and give Holo Locker priority.
Just so everyone is clear on this, none of these apps were created or are maintained by me. They all belong to their respective creators. I just thought it might help a few people to post how I am surviving not having Jelly Bean and how you can too.
For lock screen I recommend Holo locker, no wakelocks, no lags (I haven't tried magic locker, so can't compare...)

I updated the post with Holo Locker, but I was having trouble getting Holo Locker to work at first. It was very laggy and many times the system lockscreen, or the keyboard would show on top of it. I ended up figuring it out and switching back, but meanwhile I tried Magic Locker and it worked fairly well.
Were you able to use the rest of the tutorial?

I already had almost everything... , except the app Maluuba, which I searched on gplay but for some reason it didn't appeared (maybe due to build.prop present in cm7)
Edit: I opened a direct link from appbrain and it says it isn't available in my country :banghead:
Edit 2:I just sideloaded it , thx for sharing this beautifull app
I don't know what is making your holo launcher unusable, maybe you can try to uninstall magic locker first
Btw great guide :thumbup:

0.4.1 ?
i only have 0.30 via the market :/
0.4.4 is out. market has a problem so grab the apk from www.launcherpro.com
I think that this is the best launcher replacement by far. Very smooth and light.
I love this launcher as well.
I have a stupid question however. They talk about "drawers" a lot...what is this feature?

I prefer Launcher Pro to the other apps I have tried like Helix, ADW - loving the amount of customisation you can do with it and how snappy it is as well.
As for a 'drawer' well thats the part you pull up where all your apps are found
Is that all? Why do they make it sound like such a huge feature? I have been looking for a widget or setting and found nothing.
Thanks for clearing that up for me
I have 0.4.4 version. Best launcher for me, better than adw launcher
So, What the name of the clock-htc-like-widget?
Dock on LauncherPro
Can someone tell me how to change the icons on the dock. I know if you hold on them you get a very specific list of things you can put on their but gmail and the calendar arent even ones you can pick. I like those on my dock. is that possible??

Just pick "Applications" from the menu that comes up when you long press an icon and it'll bring up a second menu with a list of your installed apps

fancy widget is really nice too.
Froyo Bugs
Has anyone else encountered the problem of not being able to install custom icons? It fc's
Also, LauncherPro on Froyo has an app2sd problem that sd apps do not load until LauncherPro is restarted.
I was thinking about using the Script Scheduler I found on this site to kill then restart LauncherPro at every boot, but my bash skills are woefully inadequate. Anyone think they can give me a hand?

I Use them from the begining, and no force close detected on my Milestone.

Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.
I know there are roms with those iphone-style backgrounds... here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688687
*note this rom is only compatible with the eris* *it has been ported to other htc phones though*
Also the mytouch slide has bubbles behind each icon,
Also if you install touchwiz3.0 launcher (ripped from a galaxy s phone) it puts a random coloured sqaure behind each icon, im sure you can edit those square to have what you want
Edit: Those bubbles are what is featured above
Thanks for the replies, the thing is I want this effect on the HTC Desire which I have installed a Sense ROM (Froyo) on.
I would rather not which to another ROM just to have squared backgrounds.
This is why a Launcher would be the perfect solution.
I think the touchwiz3.0 launcher wouldn't work on my ROM but I'll try!
EDIT: I tried the touchwiz and it works! But the "bubbles" only show in the app drawer.
Here's a *.png of a square I made.

download bettercut from the market, then download an iphone icon set from market and apply icons to whatever you want through bettercut.

That would leave me making icons for apps who don't have an iPhone icon.
I'm not looking for that kind of solution.
I want it to have a square behind every icon automatically so to speak.
The DELL tablet ROM and the MIUI ROM does exactly what I want but.
I looked to port it over but that wouldn't work as the whole thing is different.
I've been searching for the same thing, with no luck. The Touchwiz launcher only puts the icon backgrounds on the dock, like you said, and I can't find the modified launcher that the MyTouch 4G uses to put on my EVO.
I'm currently running MIUI, which is awesome, except my battery life is pretty terrible compared with the stock (or modified stock) Sense ROM.
I guess I'll keep searching, and if anyone has any more suggestions, please post them here.
ADWLauncher EX can do this. It's not free though. I am sure it is possible to code it into any Launcher, but how you do that is beyond my capabilities.

Cool. Thanks!
Awesome! Just bought it, now I'm downloading the latest EViO ROM and dumping MIUI- the random restarts (although seldom), the wifi drops, and the terrible battery life unfortunately outweigh the really nice UI.
Experience Level required,
Some experience of the phones root directories
Basic Level App navigation
I cant be held responsible for what you may do to your phone. Rooting your phone voids your warranty and editing files in your Root directory may brick your phone. unexperience users SHOULD NOT perform this tutorial.

TO THIS
What you need
A Rooted Droid, (i used my A855 with CM7, not sure if others will work)
Launcher Pro Plus (Regular Launcher Pro may work)
Also, there is no framework change, this is just a launcher theme and boot animation
Download The themepack and extract to the Root of your SD card
http://www.multiupload.com/SW5EGWV6VZ
The folder is self-explanatory
Wallpapers can be set from the Home Screen
Dock and Launcher
Go into Launcher Pro's settings via Prefrences button in the home screen
Select Appearance Settings
Select Dock Background
Use custom background
Go into gallery and find atrixdock.png
Go back and Restart LauncherPro
Now you should see the Dock
Because LauncherPro uses 4 Icon Docks we will have to use the following setup
{Phone}{Phone}{Drawer}{Contacts}{Contacts}
So, hold down each icon and set those apps
The icons will look a bit cluttered.
Hold down each icon and set the icon that can be found in the Theme_Atrix folder (the blank icon)
All you should see is the dock.
The dock is set
Boot Animation
Go and get SuperManager from the Market
Go into Settings and "Enable Root Function"
Open the File Explorer
Go up Back up level folder until the titlebar says "/"
Go into system
Choose R/W!!
Go into media
Press and hold bootanimation.zip and choose Delete
Confirm and "Back up level folder" to "/"
Open the Link, "sdcard"
Find the "Theme_Atrix" folder
Hold down and copy "bootanimation.zip"
Paste into /system/media/
Reboot.
If something didnt work, email me([email protected]).
i'm always here and i usually reply within 3 hours
Good Luck!
The dock and blank icon included in Theme_Atrix.zip were made by Tyler Watthanaphand. You are free to Redistribute and Modify.
it works for me thank you
will it work on my milestone running the 2.2 25/2/2011 leack?
same question. does it work for milestone?
It would work as dont see any framework change. Its all based on images being applied thru launcher pro... and a change of the bootanimation.

Is this just a theme for LauncherPro?
Definitely does not look like GingerBlur from the screen shot.
Is it more than Gingerbread with a Blur LP dock?
Thank you

As far as I can tell, this is supposed to be a theme based on the stock Atrix theme. If that's the case, then it shouldn't look anything like gingerblur as that's simply a different rom/theme for the atrix.
Since it is based off the Atrix stock theme, it shouldn't have gingerbread elements as the Atrix only comes with 2.2 for now.
The Dock can be used for GSM Milestone.Right?
Works for me as well, love it.
Works for me too.. thx

I downloaded this yesterday and I revisited the thread just to say thanks, it looks really good and I love how the boot animation says 'dual core' then my phone goes all laggy because of its underpowered processor I hope you make mroe themes like this
Hi all,
Modded the Go Locker Four Key a bit... First time I do this so hopefully you like it and I didn't mess anything up
Background is like the background of the Redux2 notification/multitasking bar (very dark grey), highlight color changed from blue to orange which also goes well with the Go Launcher Transparency Skin for widgets
1) uninstall the Go Locker Four Key if you have it installed
2) install GoLockerRedux.apk
3) Enable "Go Locker Four Key" again
Note: you need to have Go Launcher and Go Locker installed off course.

Awesome! Would it be possible to change the action of the SMS to go to email instead? And the phone go browser? I am on a non-phone device and that would be awesome. Love the theme! Very good work on it.
I'm only a noob at this, so I'm afraid my knowledge doesn't reach that far, sorry
maybe someone else can help out with that...
Ok, thanks. Yours is still the best theme out there. And go locker released changeable wallpapers, so its even better!
nice bro.
thanks
Thanks, I really like this lock screen!
One question though, do you know by any chance how to make it into a 24h clock? I thought that maybe if there was an .xml file it could be modified, but I have no idea where it installs and I'm not sure it would work.
Any idea how to get it to run on a Samsung Galaxy S2? The easy way, uninstall stock Fourkey, copy GoLockerRedux.apk to sd-card, install via clicking, doesn't work. Installer stops without error message but 'Application not installed'.
Needless to say that I like your work. That's why I'm trying to get it installed.
Installed this no problem at all. Nice colour change.

hi,
I'm sorry, no idea what might be wrong... a couple of my colleagues installed it on different devices without any issue... no galaxy s2 though.
Have you disabled the lockscreen before uninstall?

I finally got it to work. Really nice theme, I'm quite happy with it. I just changed the clock's font to a one more fitting to my other screens.

how about using the theme wallpaper as locker background?
I like this theme very much, except it seems to be flashed when I touch the circle. Can you fix it?
nice
thanks
Hi. I'm using a GO Locker Theme called Mango. And I can set a custom wallpaper but when I slide to unlock a lock image appears. So where are the themes files (the path to them) so I can look and try to change it? Because I want my custom wallpaper all along...

Go into accounts and add HTC Weather Service. Then enable High accuracy in location settings.
