You can use a theme from the play store on a ROM like cyanogen mod to get a similar setup but I don't think there are any sense Roms. There's an lg g2 launcher and xperia ultra launcher that you can use as well.
Also don't be surprised if u see a bunch of troll posts saying to buy an HTC or Samsung if you don't like stock vanilla

Just buy a Samsung or HTC if you don't like aosp

Give Nova Launcher a shot. You can theme the hell out of the UI with it. Go check out the Nova Launcher community on G+. You can make it look as you like ... yes... even a bit Sense like.

I sold my gpe HTC one with stock vanilla for my N5. not a fan of sense myself and not sure if this helps but check the HTC gpe forums. They had ported camera and other aspects of Rosie to stock roms. Might be worth a shot. Pretty sure beats is out of the question though and IMO overated.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ok is there any way to port only some of the features of the ROMs? Eg: The multi-window or status-bar/notifications of touchwiz or the blinkfeed of HTC?
I know the camera app of sony has been made available to all "sony" devices but has anyone given it a try on the N5?

I found the issue was the navigation bar. It has to be at stock 100% in order to use it. I'm used to running it at 70% so i reset it to stock and it installed fine and applied the theme fine.

Well I just tried it on the latest OmniROM and it worked fine. I haven't tried applying any themes or anything but it's working.

as stated,revert everything to stock, DPI, navigation bar, disable pie or whatever similar as LMT, then install themer, set as you like then switch back to custom DPI, navbar size and PIE/LMT or halo, worked for me and for FuMMoD too...:laugh:

[Q] can i get he miui camera???

hey.. i have been trying out the miui roms and i kinda hated them! but the one thing i did like is the camera... (brainmaster's rom)
inside the zip file of the rom i have find the camera apk file... but for some reason i cant install it on other roms like superosrV2 or NsCollab..
what can i do?
You can't install it because it is a system application. If you download a program like 7zip or WinZip (assuming you're on a windows machine) you can go into the zip files for those roms and replace the camera app in /system/app/ with the MIUI one. Alternatively you can push it to that file via ADB or a terminal app but I've never had much success with those.

Lets just the say you aren't the first person to ask on these forums.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
probably i'm the first to say that the apk has an issue when coming back from the gallery. as every one knows camera apps got a thumbnail linked to the gallery. in this camera app when coming back from the gallery of choice the app brutally force close instead of re-open.
really strange issue.
IMHO in the original rom there's no such a bug of this kind. am i right?

Yup, deeper implementation of the app

ROM Toolbox Pro & Others

I use ROM ToolBoxPro. Now I want to customize my status bar icons. When I install certain things like the battery, it doesn't change. Was wondering if you guys can tell me why. Also tried changing the status bar color itself through ROM toolbox and it does not work. Would any of you guys happen to know how to make it work or maybe another app that can help me customize stuff like that? Also looking for icon packages. Thanks.

Does your ROM use Themes? If not it's probably not going to work no matter what app you use. If your rom does support themes then I don't really know. Sorry if I'm not much help.

It usually does say if it does or doesn't in the thread. If not you can always ask.

I believe in order for any themes to work it has to be completely deodexed. I know it doesn't work CyanogenMod and I believe it's because it works with it's own theme engine which you can download themes for with the ROM Toolbox. Otherwise, the only ROM I've got to work with it was a stock deodexed ROM.

if your still using the rom in your sig from whitehawkss
then it should support themes
but im not sure if rom toolbox pro can change the statusbar icons
like it could on cm7 roms because of the way jb is setup
with different names of the icons
i could be wrong hopefully someone with more knowledge will jump in
and help answer
Yes I am on Whitehawkx ROM, Feb 18 nightly with inverted gapps if that matters and ASDK kernel

It does affect, it is going to change your launcher, and theme your ui to the iphone interface, my suggestion is to Nandroid your ROM before flashing this.

I think my "non-descriptive friend" is trying to say is that there are moments where the launcher seems to lag. I notice it when trying to move icons around the pages (the "waving icons" seems to be slowed down, and moving the icons has some lag to it), and sometimes as I'm trying to type using the keyboard (I'd press a letter and it would take a while before the letter appeared in the screen). However, I've noticed that the lag seems to disappear with more use, so I don't know if it's a caching issue or not.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Having said that, I am truly impressed by how good the launcher is. It certainly has an iPhone feel to it. I'm running it on my old MyTouch 4G on Gingerbread and it's looking good. (Would that make it an iTouch? )

Touchwiz doesn't have support for onscreen buttons, and this phone doesn't have physical keys. I don't see how it could work. Interesting idea though.

Because you need the Touchwiz framework, TW isn`t a shell or an extra layer on top of android but a completely modified version of android which isn`t open scource (drivers).

No I'm afraid not, it requires the sense framework to function properly. Its one of the drawbacks of AOSP Rom's.
