not your typical "so long G2x" thread

hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the help i've received and the knowledge and info i have picked up along the way. the G2x was my first android device and i have spent many a night reading through posts to find out what i needed. i hope i was able to give back a bit here.
i sold my G2x so i could get a Galaxy S III so i will be over in that section of the woods (and the xoom section)
hope the G2x gets CM10 soon. i was going to wait and see when that came out but had to pull the trigger on the S3 before the deal got away from me
again thanks to everyone here who has helped me learn about what these Android devices are all capable of! see ya around!
Take care Dodgefan... Enjoy your new toy!
You have been great for the community. Have fun with your new baby.

actually wanted the last nexus phone, but the new one has pretty close specs to the S3 but with no sd card slot and no removable battery, had to go with the S3 it was a no brainer

Evangelion NERV Theme

Hey guys, was wondering if some one out there in this awesome world of XDA would be a to make a universal themed ROMS that is inspired by the Evangelion franchise.
Several years ago Sharp released a below standard phone with what I can only describe as the BEST looking theme I have ever seen to date... and this was bk in the days of gingerbread!
Since then the hardware has increased ten fold and although some themes or mods have come close, no one has, in my mind surpassed the way this themed ROMs looked.
Please find below a link to a video regarding this, forget it's in Russian but focus on the ROMs.
Anyone out there reading this who knows of any ROM builders that could undertake this?
Again not looking for themed widgets, looking for either a port or ROM.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP GUYS.

Hey Silver thanks for getting back to me, the information you gave me was really cool of you to do but I have already tried this method on my old S2, it works fine but what I'm looking for is the full customization from the NERV ROM.
Thanks for taking the time to get in touch

i would be happy just to have some that work on the duel sim .. you have no idea how frustrating it is not to have it.
Being an Eva fan myself, I find this very relevant to my interests.
However, it seems that your request for a Rom or Launcher port isn't coming until an interested XDA member gets ahold of the phone themselves.
The closest that was gotten can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290194
Basically a Chinese Blogger got ahold of the phone, wrote about it, and dumped some System files.
People tried to get them to port, but were unsuccessful, for the most part.
Seems some things, though, such as the official MAGI Widgets were able to be Deodexed and Signed and working on phones.
The thread died in September, however.
QNBT has managed to recreate the feel and performance of the SH-06D launcher using Nova and UCCW.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025464
I know it's not exactly what you are looking for, but it's close for now. (Though I'm sure you are aware of it.)
In this thread, someone found a Japanese blog where someone else configured it through a different launcher called Glaeja.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666996
So, there you go.
Seems nobody's quite done what you're asking yet.
But perhaps you can find some skilled people to assist the first thread in picking apart the system files.
Best of luck!
Ryo I think this challenge will be unanswered as there's not enough people who think this is worth the effort... :'(

It is not dead...I've been working at this for a few days now..the major issue is the SH-06D has a glass free 3d interface just like the Nintendo 3ds...MAGIhome depends on that hardware..cracking it is proving difficult.

This is fantastic news, I sincerely hope you manage to get a solution, was wondering if this would be gingerbread, jellybean or possibly kit Kat?
I'm currently using a Note 3 and would love to be rocking this ROM on it. I look forward to hearing from you

Well I am running dirty unicorns 4.4 on my note 2, so kit kat will be first. I'm really just concentrating on getting Magi working...

Did you try google? Got a lot of results searching there.
You do realize it's just swiftkey right? AFAIK there's an option in there to enable the number row.

Just an FYI, this is a forum with P2P help.
If you did find results using Google, like you said you did, why wouldn't you just post them to help the OP out? It's not like he is clogging up the ROMs section, or spamming. He is asking for help. Don't be rude.
Addendum to my previous post you can enable fourth row numbers on the stock keyboard by going in to settings clicking advanced pick custom keyboard layout and choose us pc

It's been a fun time

Hello guys,
These past 2 years were some if the must fun I have ever had with a phone. Rooting and installing a custom ROM was a totally new experience and the first time rooting was nerve wrecking. My blaze had survived multiple drops and many, many custom ROMs, but the time has come for me to move on. I have now acquired the LG g2 and wow, this phone is amazing. The same I said when I got our little blaze. I will still check in from time to time and I still have my blaze so I could occasionally do some testing. Anyways guys, I will now be moving to my new home(both in real life and on xda ) thanks for the great time!
Sincerely,
Veliion

Hey Velilion. Thanks man for contributing and helping a lot here. I have moved phones also, but since my brother uses this, I'm still here (not a bad thing lol). Got friends that also use some ROMs that are here. Been helping them out also. Hope you have fun with that new LG G2 you got . And also have fun with that new home of yours. New home, new beginning xD (at least in my family, they use that term).

Mine is ATT, but T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon have it too. There is also an international version.

Have you rooted it yet? I read that the bootloader is unlockable, but are able to bypass that. I'm considering getting this exact device on Verizon (need it for work) and would like a trusted xda'er opinion (which you are)...

Does xposed work with lollipop?

I'm getting this
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
well, ive never ever used xposed, nor have i ever wanted to. but ive known the answer to this one 100% since the L preview first came out. no, you wont get the answer from me, this ones too easy, do a tiny bit of searching.
ART and Xposed don't mix.
Yet...
I'll give you the same answer that Google would have given you- NO.
I think the dev said it's really hard to develop because of ART. He said he is having second thoughts about even trying to release xposed for lollipop but that may change with future releases.
What would happen if I install? Brick?

It doesn't work, period. Go ahead and try to install it if you want, even if it doesn't brick your phone you still won't be able to do anything with it.
