Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't know where else to put it. I recently got MIUI v3 on my Galaxy GT-I9505, and have been using the theme editor to change the icons for some applications. When I transform the icons, I click the 'complete apply' option which pushes it to my phone and the icons are changed. However, after about 10 minutes or so, the icons revert back to how they were, along with the wallpaper for some reason. I also tried saving it as .mtz, but when I tried applying it, it stated that I need authorization and to only download from the official market.
I am unsure on what to do, I've looked up on many guides/forums and havent been able to find a solution. If anyone could help that'd be great
Maybe the problem is with the theme changer.. Download any launcher and use themes on launcher best way.

Hi there,
sorry if this question has been asked before. I read a lot of threads before but most of them where for HTC phones. No tut for GT
What do i need to create custom roms for the GT?
Background info:
I'm runnig a EUR custom rom. The creator of the rom has stopped his work all of a sudden. There are some problems i encoutered while using his rom. The standart camera app is missing. Yeah it's installed i checked it allready. And i can't reinstall it either. LauncherPro was integrated into the system as default home app. It can't be updated anymore.
So what i wanna do is creating my own zImage and factory.rfs deodexed, zipaligned and root.
Which stock rom should i use?
What do i have to do to get started. Adding apps making a custom theme etc.
THX in advance and sorry for my poor english i'm from germany
Com' on im serious. I'm having some programming knowledge and I'm learning pretty fast. I made a rotobackup and I'm digging through the factory.rfs allready but I don't know where to start.
So please help
I am also trying to figure this out.
Especially changing the status bar, battery, animations ect......
Hello every1. My question is quite simple and I have searched for it for quite a while now.
I have a chinese 7" tablet with 800 x 480px resolution using 240dpi, ICS is in phone mode. Model: FreeLander PD10 Deluxe.
My question is, how can I force ICS to use tablet mode? I love the tablet statusbar, that is the only reason I want this.
Please can anyone help me with this?
You need to change its dpi to less tham 213 i think. If your rooted there are apps on the market to do it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
you can search for a custom rom which supports tablet mode and/ or pm a dev for whom it would be easy to fix it
Changing dpi works, but also try to find if there is a PARANOID Android for yours tablet, I don't know if they are doing it for small tablets too. Else just change dpi. Look there. I think this app will work on every rooted device.
Okay so actually the solution was 120 dpi, half of the original one.
Unfortunately there is no custom ROM for this tablet and I do not know how to port roms
Could any1 help me with that?
128 is the limit for tablet UI, i also looking the same. The tablet is fine and speedy but takes minutes to boot.

Have you searched for parandroid rom in your device section...
I don't know it supports your device or not but if it, then your problem is solved...
Rom: CodeBox 1.4.0 Unofficial
Kernel: Horsepower 3.1 by fuss
If you like my post please hit thanks button...
Too bad but for my device, there is no Custom ROM yet.
this is my device: http://devdb.ru/freelander_pd10_deluxe
There is no custom rom yet, and even the CWM has been ported a few days ago, it's not a new device, but not much people have it. I would love to get some help with porting CM10 or Paranoid Android to it...

Hey mate I'm leaning to compile ROMs ...
I will make my first CM ROM for my SG s2 then I will definitely will look yours ...
ROM : CodeBox 1.8.5 Official
Kernel : Horsepower 3.1.0 - Fuss
I'm working on a custom rom....
But my usb conector is dead (my kid kick it), so the develepoment will be a little slow.
So far i have ported some of the xperia apps... (launcher, widgets, keyboard). works very nice even at 240 dpi.
Well my usb is broken, so i can't continue (until i manage to solder it). but the only missing part is systemui (the menu button don't show so i wan't ala nexus solution)
if i set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop. The button bar appears, but it's layout is not the standar android layout, with apktool i try to change the status bar and navigation panel with the aosp ones, but it crashed...
Maybe if someone can continue and port a standar system ui, (status bar on top, navigation on bottom), i will really apreciate it, to complete my work.
Hi all!
I've recently installed a CM10 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 based rom on my HTC Desire GSM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017966 and I've been trying to figure out how to make the homescreen statusbar transparent, I've searched the web and these forums and tried different methods, but none of them have worked out so far, some because they're meant for previous Android OS versions and others because they're for specific moded roms (eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890150).
So, my question is, does anyone know how to make the Statusbar (where the battery, signal, wifi indicators, etc are located) tranparent/semi-transparent on Jelly Bean..or more specifically CyanogenMod v10? What system files need to be modified (XML's, PNG's, APK's)?
If someone comes up with a working solution, it would be great to create a brief guide on how to achive it, I wouldn't mind doing it myself, as I'm sure there's other people trying to figure out the same....For me it's hard to believe that such a simple yet visually important tweak hasn't yet been figured out (aparantely) for one of the latest OS versions.
Thanks in advance!!

Has anyone found an easier solution?
Hiiii all.. My name is vishesh, yesterday I root my device (Samsung tab 2 P3100) and install CM 10.1 NIGHTY CUSTOM rom successfully, I admitted that it's a wonderful rom, better than stock, but I am facing a problem regarding choosing different theme. I installed 4 themes, but wenever I tried to apply the theme, message shows.. This theme is improperly complied and cannot be applied.. I googled it and found that, wenever this Msg come,just delete the cache and data, in theme provider. Apk and in theme chooser. Apk, then reapplied the theme.. I also tried it but still I am not being able to try a single theme, same message appear.. Can someone help me regarding this or give me some working themes of it so that I could enjoy the new looks of the rom.. Please help me.. Waiting..
Honest I cannot help you, have a GT-P5113 and need help myself. One thing about this place is there are a heck of a LOT of really good brains in here. Now trying to get them to answer you, AT ALL, is nearly impossible. Shame, isn't it? But I guess if they spend all day answering questions, then they cannot make really good ROMS, Mods, and other goodies. Good luck my friend.

It would be best if it is without root. But if its there with root it will also work.
I tried S Launcher and some launchers from the play store but it does not give me tge same samsung interface.
Also provide method to install as well as uninstall the same.
Thanks in advance.

If your going for root and have a custom ROM installed them you can just download a theme from play store that will help you
But if you wanna so it on stock then there's no other option to do it without launcher
Also I would prefer root because theme will give you a better interface everywhere not only in app drawer but also in settings,notification drawer etc !!

Ok no problem. Provide me the instructions for installation with root.
Can it be done just by rooting the device without installing a custom rom. It would be delightful if that is possible.
Just like we flash a zip file for some apps to be installed.

To root your device you can refer to another thread on XDA
Custom ROM is necessary for theme effect !!

I don't really understand what you mean by that. Firstly be sure whether you wanna root you device or not . It's a risky job indeed to root the device . make sure you refer to the thread properly and have all the requirements. If you don't want all this stuff to be done then enjoy the launcher effects.

1. I want to root the device (Only if it is required).
2. I want to install the custom rom (Only if it is required).
3. I want the complete galaxy transformation pack (My phone should look completely like samsung).
4. I want the instructions to install all this.
5. I also want instructions to uninstall all this in case if I want to bring back the stock default system.

Thank you for your reply. This is similar to what I want.
I want to use whole samsung interface on my moto E2
(Samsung default messaging app, phone dialer etc etc , everything samsung)
The launcher which you have given works good and also provides the look which I want but I also want all the apps from samsung devices.

I've tried this as on my moto e but not with a Samsung interface, i tried this with the HTC sense 7 interface, by Xpirit here on XDA, but this made my moto e slow and laggy.
I also tried a windows phone interface with windows apps, I didn't like it.
Samsung's touchwiz is renowned for being laggy and slow on Samsung devices, why you want need this on a moto E is beyond me, but that's your choice!
What a full touchwiz port would run like on a moto e 2015 I can't say, because I don't know!
Just a small word of caution.........
I find that unless you flash a "themed" custom ROM, you won't get the "full" other manufacturer effect you desire, some element will still be stock android or "basic"
I haven't found any good themed custom ROMs for the moto e 2015, I'm not saying there isn't any, I just haven't found them.
But what I have found is placing different launchers, themes, overlays and xposed mods slow my moto e down to a crawl, performance is drastically affected.
Please consider this before you go ahead (you don't have to take my advise, any modification you choose to make is up to you)
Good luck

I have an idea but not sure about its success. You could go to any Samsung galaxy 4, 5 or 6 XDA and download its Deodexed Stock ROM
After doing that, try extracting the system.img and from the system image, you will get an app folder which will have the system apps. Choose what you like and copy those to your phone. As I said, I'm not sure whether this works.:laugh::laugh:
P.S : And yeah, just like @ivan39 said, y do you need a touchwiz background!! I mean, I owned a Samsung. It was a nightmare. I didn't even keep it for 6 months. Exchanged it for a moto e2. Just y?

I had several Samsung's, last one I had was an s9000i or s1 someone gave to me, it was the easiest to root/flash ROMs/make mods for, but it was the slowest and had the most pathetic performance of any any smartphone I've owned.
I'll personally never have another Samsung, I now only buy phones that are stock or pure android, I find them much better without all that bloat!
I did notice a lot of those horrible cheap Chinese handsets available have a touch wiz like interface, maybe you could find a port of that?
Edit
A discussion/disagreement at work today regarding theming ect......
Someone happened to notice my own moto e homescreen looks like the nexus 5x.
I only use the "beach drone" nexus 5x wallpaper, and I use Nova launcher with its standard marshmallow icons, but that's where the similarities with the Nexus ends.
I use the CLock weather/clock widget with google now weather icons that the nexus doesn't, and I also use a different google search widget on my home screen to the nexus.
The gentleman who took me to task over "copying" the nexus home screen could not grasp the fact android is so customisable, and as he had his own moto e 2015 with the standard launcher, the yellow disk wallpaper, he didn't see the point to change it.
His argument was I have a ford focus C max as my car, but its not badged as a Bugatti or a Porsche.....
So if a Motorola looks like something else, it is something else and I'm messing around with stuff I "know nothing about"
I explained about theming/launchers/XDA/mycolourscreen/themer and icon packs but I'm afraid it fell on deaf ears and this man was quite upset I had changed my handset so Much from standard.
Point I want to make is we all make our devices what we want, that's the beauty of android.
If you want a Samsung theme, good. If I want to try out HTC sence 7 (that I love but its laggy on my moto e) then that's great.
Its all about individuality and we mustn't let others tell us different!
If you want samsung why not just buy it?
