Advanced ICS CM9 Customization

[j814wong]

Hi. There have been various images of Android devices that have been greatly customized that look nothing like the original stock Android. How do people make such advanced customization. How can I try to do this on my Motorola Defy with CM9? What apps on Android and programs on the computer can help with this? I personally have a Ubuntu computer but can access a Windows one if needed.

try a couple of launchers and themes.
i recommend Apex launcher, and search the play store for themes.

Yeah sUsH667. Like that. By the way, your system looks amazing like that. When I mean advanced customization, I don't mean simply downloading a new launcher and finding a theme. The stuff you did with Android make it look entirely different from stock Android and in a good way. I want to do something like that on my device.

Launchers are a huge part of getting the customization that most users have. The default just doesn't have the same abilities, though because of Soft Keys and a few other things you can actually make a lot happen even with the stock version. A large part of it is also functional widgets that users have added.

Anyway have a look through this thread if you want to see how users do it. Most people give some kind of explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3236616#post3236616
