Okay so when it comes to Samsung infuse roms, which is really the most customizable?? I'm looking for a Rom that can basically be customized fully... Like to the extent of changeing status bars and such? If so thank you for the info I can't really look myself to find out because in a way I'm limited right now saddly...

I went from CM7 to MIUI a couple days ago for the second time, to say it's highly customizable is an understatement, you can change basically anything with MIUI, including the status bar. Give it a go, and see what you think...
Besides the actual rom itself, HERE'S a link with said "customizations" you can do.

If you are talking about UI customizations, especially the status bar, then you should look at Launchers before you look at the Roms. I use Go Launcher EX, you can change a lot of different settings with certain launchers, I just prefer the look and feel to Go Launcher but to each his/her own.
But yes Mac is right there a bunkload of UI customizations you can get out of MIUI

I'm not ready to loose the FM Radio functionality from the stock ROM yet. So I am looking for themes for stock ROM.
Do the Droid 2 ones work ?
Just a heads up you can use a custom rom and put the FM radio on it, if the rom doesn't already have it.
And I don't think the Droid 2 Themes will work for the Droid X, someone correct me if I'm wrong (which I may very well be).

really ? i think somebody said that FMRadio wasn't working yet.
I would actually like to know as well. I recently went back to stock and removed bloat manually. I got tired of using roms that are buggy and incomplete as most of them are.
With a stock image everything just works as it should; and honestly I dont see that much of a speed increase as everyone else says.
Ive used Fission, Apex, and tranquility. It was nice seeing things more stock android, but I actually like everything working as it should. lol
All I really want is a nice black status bar with transparent shade for stock 2.3.15.
I was hoping for something in an easy update.zip
There are a multitude of themes in this section for Froyo. Some do the update.zip routine, others are just replacements of framework & services.
However, they aren't on the 'first page' because the focus (no pun intended) has been on focused and fission lately. Just scan back a couple of pages and you will find plenty of replacement notification bars, etc.
Thanks. Ill keep digging. I wish their was a page with all the themes for the different roms laid out. Or maybe just some sub categories for themes based on the rom.

Any news for g2x? I have taken a break from making roms and am also new to Porting roms, so someone should have a go.

After seeing the new update for the MT4G, I can't wait for MIUI! I haven't been this excited about it in months.

I've never personally used MIUI but from what I have read people either love it or hate it. Why do you want it so much? What are the benefits?
its AOSP and the UI is different from the android we are used to here in the US. Even if you use a different launcher. Lots of extra features and customization to be done also.

I've used it.. and loved it on my G2. It's android with the iPhone polish man. Lots of great eye candy, downloadable boot animations themes, wallpapers, ringtones, notifications, etc... all built in. a GREAT task management/settings/net traffic tracker... built in.
I would suggest you give it a shot when it comes out. TONS of features.
Here's what i boils down to"
If you like a smooth clean polished and highly customizable UI (a lot of the work done for you.. it eliminated my need for quite a few apps I use for system management)... you'll like this.
if you want to run a stock vanilla form of android that allows YOU to do all of the tweaking and enjoy adb pushes and coding... run CM7 (which is also a FANTASTIC option)
I personally liked how aesthetically pleasing miui is. But I bought an android device to run android os not ios ;-)

I know BUT ios is polished so is miui. It's the best of both worlds
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Right.. that's my point. it doesn't LOOK like iOS.. but i don't think ANYONE would argue that iOS has a lot more "love in the UI details" (ie... POLISH.. it's nice looking and consistently so). While android.. is definitely a hacker/programmers UI. VERY tweakable and functional.. just not that nice looking.
the resemblance it iOS is really peoples only objection to MIUI but the fact is that's only the default launcher. change the launcher and its no longer an issue.
Really?!? people think it looks like iOS?!? why because they're no app drawer? that's literally the only thing I can think of that's like iOS that isn't part of android anyway. (they both have dockable apps at the bottom, they both have a status bar with signal/time/date/etc). otherwise.. it's just Android with some UI love (polish). that's IT.. and like you said.. you can change the launcher.. but i don't see a reason to.
True. The only other thing is the way they changes the ticking system to the tab system. That's all i can think of.

the icons themselves have an iPhone feel to them as well. as for the launcher.. that comes down to preference.

But there are themes. If you really hate iPhone you can still live with miui.

I'm quite aware of that. I'm pro-MIUI.. Had it on my Vibrant since it was released for the phone. I was just saying the default theme is what turns people off of the ROM upon first glance.
There are lots of benefits to MIUI. For starters it usually runs VERY fast. It was the first rom to include toggles in the notification menu (CM7 does this now too). Also the menu's are no longer 6 squares, but listed. The whole OS is themable (CM7 is now too).
I am not particularly fond of the homescreen setup (No App Drawer) because all of your apps are on your desktop like iOS. The stock launcher is basically the same as iOS except you can put icons anywhere and supports widgets.
The Icons are very pretty and large, which I like.
You can accomplish most of this by using CM7, a good CM7 theme, and ADW EX with a MIUI theme.
I'm all about more custom roms. I enjoyed MIUI for a few days but damn CM7 nightlies always have me going back to try out the new features.
MIUI is a lot more than a simple skin. As others have said, its blazing fast, has amazing features built in (I really like being able to control all of my connections by the dropdown bar and even being able to reboot and such through the same bar) and is extremely polished.
The availability of themes can make it decidedly un-iOS very easily. The customization options built into the ROM are absolutely insane and I have it on my Inspire as well as my Captivate - I really hope someone picks it up and ports it to the G2x.
In comparison to most other devices, development on the G2x seems to be pretty slow overall which is a huge bummer. I guess too many people are busy constantly exchanging their devices to actually get cracking on development. *eye roll*
Anyone have the ability to make a notification bar for Lou's rEVO rom, that has the same colors as his stock, animates smooth icons, but the look/images of the new sense bar (vertical battery/3g icon, etc)?
If so, thanks
I would try, but have NO experience as all

I'm confused, u want GB icons, on the stock noti bar?
I was looking for a bar like THIS one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901822
But in the gray colors that come stock with redemptive rEVOlution. Also, Im not sure if its possible to incorporate the animated sync, DL/UL, Install icons, etc.?
Thats what I meant, sorry for the confusion
I think it would be feasible for one of the themers on the forum to do that but it seems that development on that rom is pretty dead, I haven't seen Lou on the forums in forever (although I haven't been around that long).

i havent seen him in a while either, just not sure how stable these new sense roms are yet, so I am waiting on those. If he releases an update for redemption tho, i may switch over
Yeah it would be good to see him come back and get a new GB version out. I tried the kingdom port and there were some pretty cool things but it was pretty unresponsive and the lockscreen was pretty hit and miss. Not really anything I would recommend for a daily rom yet but with time I think those issues will get ironed out.

honestly id prefer a sense 2.1 gingerbread thats stable, because i hear 3.0 is a little overpowered for our phones, but that 2.1 is smooth
so lemme just try to get this right, if all you want is the stock gray noti bar, with the Green gingerbread icons/sync ani's and that stuff. easy as pie.
essentially yeah, but i swapped over to warm Z 2.2 and that has it all already. Thanks though
I love the look and feel of the notification bar on MIUI, is there any way to flash that on a Gingerbread like Weapon G2x rom? Or any rom that has both MIUI and Cyanogenmod features integrated into one? Thanks.
I suppose it's possible. I don't know enough about the programming side of things to be able to answer solidly thought, but if people can write custom notification bars for themes then you should be able to.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's possible. I'm also sure that it's floating around somewhere, question is where do I find it?
I think there's a ROM in the Infuse 4G forum that did that, most likely edits to the SystemUI.

If you know how to program you could reverse engineer a theme or an app that tweaks the status bar. It's kinds a shame coding gives me headaches, I could have fun with stuff like this.
Hey guys. So the thing is I would like to see some sort of port of status bar icons from stock LG Lollipop to Kitkat. The ones on Kitkat just suck and I tried many modules, none of them are good enough, some aren't properly aligned, some make the phone lag (FSBI).
The thing is I used to have S3 and it would get all sort of status bar ports from GS4, GS5 and etc. and I would like to see the same for LG G2. I hate alarm icon especially and want to change it but can't find a proper alternative.
If it's possible, can anyone do that? If not, maybe teach me how to do it , at least kinda change that alarm icon myself? I tried googling but couldn't find any good guides for that, so.
hey i remember you from the s3 forum mate! unfortunately there really aren't much ports of these sorts for the g2, only some mods like iOS icons and aosp icons...why haven't you updated to LP yet by the way?what rom are you using?

Hey, nice to see you !
Btw yeah, that's what I'm talking about , all of them are mostly iOS-like. As for stock LP, I'm not using it because of that animation when going in to recents from an app, it looks bad, also performance isn't really that great, especially after long use. I prefer CM12 over stock LP so...
As for now I'm kinda sticking with stock Kitkat. It's the most 'complete' ROM as for me.
