Your ET4G - General Topics

Im just wondering what kind of things do you guys do to your phones. Roms apps themes etc. Im running cm9 and want to try to find new ideas and apps to make my phone cooler and less boring. thanks in advance guys

I was sorta feeling the same until I came upon this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643406
If your running cm 9 alpha 4 download some themes and use theme chooser and see how you like them. I have a sense theme running currently and if you get bored with one, use another.

[Q] Android 3.1 Honeycomb theme

Hi all!
Does anyone know a Android 3.1 Honeycomb exist for the HTC Sensation? Fond an good looking one here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947902) and was wondering if someone can make this for our phone
In the meantime I'll keep an eye on Google to try and find out if it already exists... Would look great on our Sensations!
That's for Theme Chooser app which works only on Cyanogen roms. I think you have to wait a little
I believe better sensation days will come as bootloader will be unlocked.
Figured I'd bump this instead of starting my own, I'm running the Thyparancy Gingerbread theme now and would LOVE something like that for Honeycomb.
I'm running the cdtdroid theme that uses a lot of the same theme .pngs from the honeycomb them. Then u have a few options for a home launcher. I'm running honeycomb launcher which looks awesome if u want a honeycomb look. I made a video on you tube demostrating it. Just look up my name from here in you tube and u can see it.

Did he come out with just a theme? The only thing I've seen in the full ROM which I don't really want.

Miui rom?

Hey you guys i was wondering can anyone port Miui to the Triumph, for the ones that don't know what it is cheack it out on youtube im sure you would like it. Plus since we have cm7 it is possible just need a dev to began the process, i would be happy to be a tester

I know someone on androidforums is working on a miui themed version of the cm7 build. It is a work in progress, I am not sure if it will be exactly what you are looking for though.
Ive tried, its not hitting on nothing, im trying to find out how to port it myself.

This is the closet to miui I have ever seen that's not actual miui. Try it, its definitely the best launcher, especially teamed with cm7. Until someone ports actual miui.

Porting a whole ROM might border on "insanely difficult," I suffer even changing a clock color here and there.
I did recently steal and re-theme some nice MIUI clocks from Factory Widgets, and if you want the look then go check out the ROMs here. They look noticeably similar.

[REQ] ICS theme for r800i (2.3.3 & 2.3.4)

I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

no, because i already have that done read my previous comment, i'm talking about a theme the way the Galaxy S II theme got ported to this rom, re-themeing the stock status bar, apps framework, system UI etc.
It's a bit much to ask but i'm sure someone will do it soon enough if they have the interest

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.

[Q] Different UI for Nexus S ?

Hey Guyz
i would like to ask if there are other UI's for the Nexus S just like MIUI interface
Because the stock is pretty boring !
There are a lot of roms for NS, starting for CM7 based roms, MIUI, CM9 alpha, and well take a look on the developing section and test the one you want..
Wait a few weeks they're almost done with HTC Sense.
Yeah, and MIUI V4.

You're saying "UI"... do you mean "Launcher"? Because you don't need a custom rom to change the way the phone looks. There are lots of them on the market, just to name a few I've tested:
-ADWLauncher EX: smoother than regular ADWLauncher, highly customizable, worth the purchase (for me at least, runs great)
-LauncherPro: also very smooth, pretty customizable
-Go Launcher EX: can't say I loved it too much, but also nice looking.
Take your pick. Hope this is what you were searching for, a replacement LAUNCHER, not a replacement ROM.
I don't mean the launchers.
I mean different transitions, icons,statusbar,notification and etc like the full framework has been changed as you see in MIUI Rom
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
The MIUI ROM is still based off of Gingerbread and hides it really well. Though most of it is recognizable once you see past the themes and skins.
If you want a list of different ROMs, some of which sport their own framework visit the Nexus S ROM thread
here.
Also as flodb113 pointed out, essentially you are looking for a different launcher. ADWLauncher is a good place to start off if you're not looking to flash a new ROM.
The ADWLauncher contains themes which can change the whole appearance of the UI including: transitions, icons, statusbar, notifications and etc.
But isnt a UI called RoUI available?

If you are referring to this then it only allows you to customize the lockscreen. Which is similar to changing a launcher; no flashing required.

Miui is available for the NS and NS4G, just flash it.
Not sure why you chose the Nexus if you're looking for a flashy interface... The nexus was designed as a vehicle for the bare bones, no frills aosp android experience.

Infuse Roms?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!
I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.
Has anyone flashed the s.u.r.f.a.c.e rom?

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e
How can I flash surface from my current position (Zeus build 3 with the ruxk kernel)?
Thanks for your replies

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

And the download itself:

From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too
