After hard search, I can't seem to find an iOS 7 rom. One that actually looks aesthetically pleasing. I know, I know. Why would you want iOS on an Android, but what's wrong with having the best of both worlds?!!?
iOS is gorgeous. It honestly is. But nothing beats the customization on Android. So if someone can help me out and show me something. I know MIUI has a iphone themed rom but I don't really care for it. I want the new iOS.
Thanks!

To each their own. Avoiding IOS is why I don't have an iPhone. I have no problem with their hardware.
Anyway, try looking for IOS7 launcher / ilauncher as apps. Maybe even a theme chooser theme if you just want the visuals. I looked real quick at some themes, but I didn't think they looked very good.
Good Luck.
Kidhudi,
Its people like you why I f*cking refuse to come on these forums. I thought I'd havemore luck after I explained I want what I want. Go be a smartass elsewhere. This is why beginners and iphone users hate android douches like you.

Try Espier Launcher. It will give full IOS7 experience on android.

Yeah, I didn't find much. Most android developers stay away from it. Which kind of surprises me. You'd think with so much variety among us, wed find someone making an iOS 7 ROM. To be honest, I love the look of iOS, BUT I will never give up he customization and endless possibilities. To each his own though, right? Thanks for the reply!

Bro i was actually serious. you will probably never see a better rom than MIUI that can look like ios. and i guarantee you will never see ios7 ported to this phone. it is tough enough to get different andoid phones ported to another phone. the ONLY fool proof way to get ios7 is to buy an apple product. i wasn't trying to be a ****. sorry if you took it out of context.
thanks redndian i never saw that launcher i will give it a whirl. peace.
HI LAUNCHER and all their apps look pretty convincing.

I saw a post over in the N1 and Droid forums for this ROM developed over in china.
It looks pretty awesome and I was just wondering if there was anyway or anyone working on porting this for us? Yes it looks a little iPhoney but it's still a nice looking ROM.
You can google MIUI to find the original website, but you'll need to translate it to be able to read all of it.
Sorry if someone already posted about this, did a search though and didn't see anything here. Thanks to anyone who helps or replies.
Just did a quick google, and come to find out it's zenulator's (Dunno who did it) rom and he's wanting everyone porting the rom to different androids to put source link and credit on their threads.
Here's the link to his code:
http://code.google.com/p/zen-droid/downloads/list
And here's the link to the post he put up about credit (and a badass vid of the ui!)
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/zenulator/84360-rom-zen-miui-v2-android-2-2-miui.html
And here's the official link *hint* use google chrome to view, so you can just hit translate to read it!!
http://www.miui.com/index.php
also.. read some of the forum. Damn those folks hatin' on us westerners/english folk (on translation anyways)
Dunno if that can be ported yet because 2.2 JUST became stable for our hero, however I can't say it's at all impossible because he has the source posted. I would be interested in seeing this myself.
Would be awesome if it could be ported. It looks nice and smooth. Something like that could perhaps convince me I don't need sense

If we had this a lot of people would be convinced they don't need sense. I've been using the wildfire port as my daily but this ROM has my mouth watering.
I would definately like to have this on my device!

Me too I would like this on my device

"I enjoyed porting MIUI to my droid and sharing it with everyone else."
he ported the rom not created it..
but what i can't understand is, the hero (well android in general) is so much more diverse in what can be done with it, why make it look like an iphone??? i feel like this is a step backwards in developing.. the iphone has done this already.. why do we want to adopt this now?

Personally, I love it. I love the way the iphone look also. I just don't like the functionality of the iphone. But the cartoonish look of it can be pleasing.

Just because the main framework of the rom is similar to iPhone looks, doesn't mean it can't be themed. We want it based on functionality and speed, not looks.

Miui is built for hdpi devices. You will have to build it from source and modify it for mdpi.
There is no reason this can't be done. Since its essentially a heavily modified aosp 2.2.
It runs great on my MOTO droid.
I just don't have the time to make it work on the hero.
Also its rumored cyanogen and crew is working on incorporating some of the features into cyanogenmod.

For anyone interested in tracking the MIUI porting process, DelsaDj and a bunch of devs are on it. It's slow work, though.
Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.
That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..

It's such a pet peeve when people compare MIUI to the iPhone. In no way are they even remotely the same.
The only thing that's similar about it is the fact that it has no launcher. Other than that, MIUI is more Android than anything else.
Does iOS have widgets? What about transition effects? A pull down notification tray with an array of toggles? Hundreds of themes and really nice lock screens?
The list goes on.

IPhone is the way for you. Either appreciate what we have here in this community or build your own roms.
I don't see anything boring about it there's enough new added features tweaks to maximize the phone already.

Boring android? I think the new touch wiz is one of the best things to come to android sammy did a great job. I hated touch wiz on my og note but I love almost everything about my gs3 and note 10.1 for all the extras the devs here do plus what came stock.

This has to be an iSheep trolling Android forums.. If not, the only way Android becoming "boring" is by spending way too much time staring at your phone, and iOS is less appealing IMO.. Touchwiz, CM10, Kangs of all different flavors, there's dozens of ROMs to chose from, far more than what's usually available for other phones.. If your looking for something totally unique, try paranoid or build one yourself.

Android is the opposite. We can change nearly anything we want, as well as fix stuff when we break it! :good:
It's almost a hobby, to play with our Androids. I'm not quite sure what you are looking for, since a S3 running JB is about as top shelf as you can get.
There's nothing "spectacular" about a cell phone.

Why insult the OP? MIUI is an amazing rom, I loved it on my previous phones. Just because it doesn't have an app drawer doesn't make it an iPhone!
I got bored playing with an iphone within the first two minutes since you cannot really do anything with it except with wallpaper and ringtones?
The OP is right. Touchwiz gets old after a while and the graphic elements look like they were designed by a third grader. All these iPhone comments are just stupid. Not liking touchwiz or being bored with it doesn't mean you want the even more boring iOS. Too many simple minds out there as it is. We don't need even more who think touchwiz is the ONLY way to go on a powerhouse android phone. We all have different tastes and some of us have no taste. Either answer the OP's question with something useful or don't respond.
I recently switched to liquidsmooth AOSP 4.2 and it's like I have a totally different phone. Faster, far more beautiful, and a much cleaner professional experience.
What do you guys thing about think about iOS 7.
To me it looks like it was built using some parts of android source.
Take Touchwiz 3 Lockscreen
Take Touchwiz 6 stuffs
Take Android

I'm pretty sure Apple isn't even claiming innovation (that's just what people say when they want to discredit features irrationally; don't be That Guy).
