well as i found out miui and launcher pro don't get along :( problem was i wanted to set ice cream sandwich icons as my icons on launcher pro but every time i tried it would force close so i found my own solution... i won't go into much detail but i thought i'd share :)

ICS launcher pro(cm7 and Stock) v2 tested and working on stock aswell

ICS launcher pro(miui) v2 changed to look more like Ice Cream Sandwich

ICS launcher pro(Stock Rom) v3 ICS styled with ice colored icons

i made my own personal launcher pro with the ice cream sandwich icons

instructions:

1-download one of the above zips for your corresponding rom
2-unrar and place the folder in the root of your sd card
3-use TitaniumBackup to install/restore launcher pro app+data
4-enjoy what other people with miui couldn't have lol

EDIT: its possible that this will work for other devices but it hasn't been tested

Note: some apps might be set to hidden just go to preferences>general settings>hdden apps and uncheck them so they show in the app drawer

Warning: im not responsible if you mess up your phone this is pretty simple

how did you use titianium backup to install ?

i took the titanium backup folder put it on my sd card and it shows up in titanium backup as not installed and if you click on it you can hit restore but make sure you restore app+data and then you have the launcher
 
Looks good! I just started using MIUI and wasn't sure about the themes and stuff. So far I've only changed my font to Roboto. I like this though.

thanks, your using it? ive had downloads but i haven't had anyone tell me if it worked for them or not

edit: also if you like the theme in the screen shot its called "black ice" its an ice cream sandwich theme for miui found in the themes app and you can always switch back to the stock theme if you don't like it

Yeah, I am using it. I couldn't figure out how to change launchers though, not sure if that's because I'm not familiar with MIUI yet. I just rebooted after I installed this app and then after it booted it prompted me for which launcher I wanted to use. Everything seems to be working, I like having an app drawer again but I was a CM7 user for a while.

File downloaded, unzipped, unzipped file on sd card, what do i look for in titanium backup
Click to expand...

should be the folder itself Titanium Backup (contains 3 files) on the root of your sd card when you go into titanium backup scroll down to the bottom of the app list and you should see "not installed launcher pro" click it then hit restore app+data if for some reason you don't see it reload application
 
Oops.. My bad.

I didn't get around to adding your launcher yesterday. But I WILL make sure to add it today. Also do you happen to have a donation link so I can add it..?

Copied the titanium backup file to root of sd card, but nothing shows up in titanium backup

thats odd are you copying the files inside the folder it should be the entire folder copied over and if it doesn't show up try rebooting your phone then look again

EDIT: also if you've installed launcherpro before getting this then it will not say "not installed" it will be somewhere in the applist and say 1 backup either way hit restore app+data

So I go to LauncherPro and click restore? Only thing is I had it installed before, but it doesn't say "not installed"

yeah try hitting restore app+data and if that does not change launcher pro try uninstalling it then restoring it from titanium backup
 
How long does it take to load for you guys? after it loads it crashes and i force it to to end, but it doesnt go away, i wonder if this is just a glitch/
