Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI to give it another shot and im loving it all over again.

There are a couple things I'd like to know:

1. Can I remove the dock? If so, how?

2. Where can I go to learn about how to install a new notification bar? I want to check the themes/tweaks/etc.

3. How do I install new icons? I downloaded icon packs but not exactly sure how to install them, im still reading up on Desktop visualizer but im still a bit confused

Thanks

Remove the dock by installing a new launcher of your choosing. I prefer GoLauncher with miui.

Go to settings, there should be themes in there. When you are in the themes you can browse or search by clicking online at the top. If you go to the bottom and click edit theme you can mix and match your themes. Like notification bar from one, lock screen from another, etc.

I have never heard of desktop Visualizer. Icons are a subset of the themes. You can mix and match them too. If you go to edit the theme, then select icons, and click online you can browse just the icons, vs the whole theme.

You can also find some themes in the general android theme forum, not the gs2, the bigger Android section.

Well, look what you did, now you got me in the miui mood, I'm gonna have to switch back. :cool:

on MIUI, just open the THEMES app and download whatever theme you want. also you can customize the current theme you are on to make it any way you like....personally i like meeui dark with ics mixed in....

I'll throw in a plug for the ADW launcher, which will let you wasily do several of the modifications you want: roemove the dock, hide the notification bar and change icons via a long press of the target.

I only use Desktop Visualizer if I want to use an icon that's larger than 1x1.
