[Request] MIUI w/ stock icons

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.

there is also a new calendar via the test market, which shows version 3.1, so unless google has changed their version numbers on their market, ie, Froyo's calendar is 2.2.1 and GB's is 2.3.3 then most of these apps are 3.1/Ice Cream apk's and are going to be backwards compatible with previous versions of android.
As a side note, Aerosmith and Cage the Elephant then Backstreet Boys? seriously...

Hahaha. I have a little bit of everything!

it overwrites the touchwiz right?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Not sure. Probably. I'm not using a touchwiz rom.

works on CM7 and MIUI if anyone's wondering.

it didnt over write anything if you just install it.

tried it, TW is still better though this is beta.

If you havent already, check out the "Recent" view in landscape. Pretty cool, Dont know why they dont have this option for all filters in landscape though...

i have Fancy Widgets full version
Will look thru it, thanks
UPD
Couldn't find it in the Fancy Weather settings

Try using true weather live wallpaper with it, I think it is the wallpaper that gives it the animation. There is paid and free on play store

Try Beautiful Widgets, withthe Beautiful Widgets Animation package.

You guys.. that is NOT what he is talking about.. he is talking about having a weather widget DISPLAY on the lockscreen. Like this

Use Widget Locker & your favorite weather widget.

This is what i was going to suggest but it eats resources (RAM) and doesnt work very well in my experience. But is a good alternative.

My understanding is that you will be able to do it when we get 4.2

Sort of.. it'll be on a separate page instead of the same which is kind of stupid TBH Google should have taken a page out of Cm' development page and had it on the same page at least for weather.

Nexus 4 Stock 4.2 overlay graphic glitch?

Do people have this kind of issue with the phone? I can take screenshots so I assume its not a screen problem.
Its running stock 4.2, rooted and unlocked.

no one? is it my machine?...

Try reflashing the stock image. If that doesn't work then I'd assume it's an issue with your hardware.

What's that jelly bean notification? Also I thinks that might be software BC I had a old phone that would do that and I reflashed and it worked.

You sure that's a screen shot from the stock because the app tray should have 5 columns of apps not 4

It looks like the OP is using Apex Launcher. I don't use it myself but I can only assume that would be the reason.

Currently using Apex launcher but it occurs in stock as well.

I called google and they said it could be related to auto brightness 'adjusting' to the light. imho I think its a faulty light sensor bugging out so I requested for RMA.

Thread moved. Questions belong here in Q&A.
Thanks

Hello,
I had the same issue. I think that's software bug beacuse it persist on screen captures.
I don't want to make a RMA.

Hi, I have the same issue on my Xiaomi mi2 phone which has has the same processor as the nexus 4.
did you reach to a conclusion regarding this?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 4. You can see it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTyYqu8buvk . I think that more than one have this problem and it could be related with CPU or GPU drivers because the Xiaomi Mi2 (same CPU/GPU) have the same issue.

Best Buy has a test to check your touchscreen!!

Download the Geeksquad app. I watched him run the test in front of me.
It showed a horizontal dead spot one the upper portion of my screen.
I hate to say this guys, but the employees were aware of the problem and told me that they believe it is a hardware problem.
Don't shoot the messenger - It's what I was told.
They took it back outside of the 15 day return window and issued me a full store credit.
I'll wait and see how people like the new LG G Pad.
Good luck!!

Is this the app being referenced?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one

Could someone please post the apk, its not available in my country

For those in other countries, here is the apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ufx4z87z5l2ecq8/com.androidapplication.geeksquad.gsa.one-1.apk

Thanks for the apk. I just ran the test and all it let's me do is test 5 areas of the screen and multi touch in top third. Am I missing something because I don't see a full screen test.

Same here.

Sorry guys, been at work.
Turn the tablet horizontal and try to drag the screen all the way to the right upwards.....Mine did nothing...
The manager even came and checked it out.....then gave me the nod - YES!!!

I have just completed the touch screen fix and it worked! I also could not complete the Greek squad test holding it horizontally. I had ghost touches, dragging issues and now my touch screen works flawlessly.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Maybe it is software..... I have no idea, just the opinion of Best Buy employees.
I hope they fix it, I'll still never buy anything from Google or ASUS - terrible service.
They ran from the problem.

If you don't have any daily issues I recommend to not try this app, I don't have any issues overall with my n7 and don't want them either.
Don't look for the issues

Totally agree. I haven't noticed any issues with my N7 and don't want to, haha.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but the app doesn't do anything different when being held horizontally....
