Theme iOS5 looklike
After a couple of events involving me and other users, it seems important to add here pair of lines explaining my work and how is working (complete version at page 8).
MIUI themes are something like a big mess, everyone post things in the MIUI forum, in the internet or in the online theme section of the ROM itself, and noone have any kind of copyright, so it's quite easy to find a theme, open it, take some parts and go on. This is my first theme and first work on Android, so I started really from zero. I based my work on a theme found on the web, then added some parts from another theme. Only now, when the theme seems to be complete, I'm starting my own work. Why? Because every file has its name, and every name has a direct correspondance to a part of the ROM (which will be themed), as noob as I am, I don't know one of these name or where to find it, so I'm basing my work on files made by other and editing them and replacing with my own. It could seem something not very honest, expecially for the donate button at the end (I'm not forcing anyone to donate something for a work that it's not completely made by me), but I don't know any other way to create a theme without having a base over make my work. I've just explained two times these things in this thread and, if it possible, I like to end it here with explain it every weeks to another one.
Credits are at the end, thanks for you opinion and support.

1: terribly true!! I'll fix
2: perfect!! but don't need these exact position, it needs only the name of the app, cuz' is the name of the programm which the icons make connection.
UPDATE:
themed requested icon ---> suppose that CMUPDATE will not work, have to understand why
added themed lockscreen, still W.I.P, it's a beta version, I don't like the way it's written "Slide to Unlock" and the clock which is too small.
Stay tuned for future update!!
WOW Looking so Cool!!!!
UPDATE 3.4.279
added bootanimation
fixed "slide to unlock" pattern in lockscreen
Keep up the great work you do. Wait to see the status bar icons

All of this coming on monday morning, 'cause on weekend I'm back home (girlfriend's calling) and surely I'll not work on it
I've put this thread here to give you guys a variety of launchers found on the market. I, like many of you, get bored using the stock launcher or it hasn't got the ability to customize it the way we'd like, so we'd like more a choice. So rather than having to find them all over the place I will keep everything here in one place and will try and find as many as I can and update the thread with any further updates the developers release for the launchers.
If you notice any information in this guide which is incorrect, or any bad links, let me know and I'll fix it as soon as possible. Also, I know that there are a load that aren't on this list, so if there are some which aren't on the list but you think they should be, let me know and I'll look into them and update the list.
All credit goes to Goku80 for the idea for this guide.

Lightning Launcher - 1.5+
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro - 2.3+
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
