Ok, so ever since made the stupid mistake of flashing back to stock rom 4.4.2 from CM 11 I've been using Xposed modules to get as far away from touchwiz as possible. I really want the AOSP lockscreen instead of the Touchwiz one. I've looked at the current Xposed module for it but its not supported for anything above 4.1 but I've also read that the touchwiz lockscreen is just used above the AOSP one, so is there a way to remove the Touchwiz lockscreen or disable it so the AOSP one is used instead?

It's tough because it's a smali edit. You'd have to change a lot to get it to work. It's not something you could easily replace. I wouldn't even know where to start on that, but maybe take a look at some s4 kitkat mods and see if they could be backwards compatible on the S3. They just might work for something like that, or at least show you what code to modify.
It might be easy as disabling the touchwiz lockscreen and enabling the native Google one.

I wish I had the knowledge to do this myself, but there are too many that are talented at this for me to mess up my phone. Is it possible for a fully INVERTED / DARK Theme / MOD on the new JB leak? I can find some things (GAPPS, a few system apps) but nothing that is complete. Battery life is much improved with the dark background, and every little bit helps to get JB good battery life (for me at least). Much appreciated if anyone can help!!!!
What inverted gapps are u using ?

the JB leak that you speak of is touchwiz...you can not flash gapps (which is built for AOSP ROMs) to a touchwiz ROM. This will make you have so many fc's or may even soft brick till you flash something else! for this to be done properly, you will have to invert framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and all the apps that you want inverted! just thought i would let you know about the gapps thing!

This is from eschelon, it is just a xml code change. Change the true to false for inverted. Stock is black background just depends on what the dev prefers.

if you switch to AOSP download the black exodus theme. its fantastic.

Eclipse AOSP is a super clean ICS/JB looking theme(w/ cm10's circle battery) with black as much as possible and inverted apps. So I'm hoping his TW version has the same theme. I have his beta 2 version of the TW rom downloaded but not sure if I want to flash it. It's got a couple of annoying bugs, and I'm not sure if it has the theme yet. I can't stand the stock look of TW anymore, not since ICS, anytime before that and stock AOSP looked like crap and TW was a refreshing change.
I read a while back that "pimpmaneaton" was going to update his eyecandy theme to work with the new JB touchwiz, but so far no news as to when. This is the type of theme I am hoping for, because it doesn't have to be specific, as it uses VrTheme to change images, not the whole .apk . hope something shows up soon, the white backgrounds and touchwiz colored dialog boxes are driving me nuts.. :-/

i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking
Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
While listening to Pandora if my phone was to become locked, upon turning the screen on I used to see fullscreen album art from the song playing as my lockscreen. Recently all I see is the regular music controls and the fullscreen album art is gone, how do I get it back?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Well I tried all sorts of things to try but couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was a glitch or something? Or a previous version of Pandora that you had? Or a modified one that allowed full screen album art? I've only ever see a 1x4 below my clock on my lock screen.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Well I appreciate you looking into it, maybe Pandora got rid of it on the latest version.
You can enable the AOSP lockscreen by following the instructions here:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/activate-hidden-aosp-lock-screen-your-htc-one-m8-0154651/
You can use the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module to restore some motion unlock functionality, but it doesn't work great. If you want to go back to the HTC lockscreen then rename the file back to HtcLockScreen.apk and reboot.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

So on that page it mentions a kernel that can be flashed to restore the swipe2wake or knock2wake functionality, however I could only find a kernel available for the HTC One M7 and not the M8. Is there a kernel available for the M8 that will allow for these functions to work with the aosp lockscreen? I know about the Xposed route but I have tried to use some other modules a while back and got errors, had to restore a backup.

I haven't tried to restore that functionality with a kernel. I'm just using an Xposed module.
This is a bit of a merge-post from two other forum posts I made (here and here) before I realized that there was a forum specifically for the G900P Galaxy S5.
To sum things up, I'm just kind of curious as to why it seems like there is next to zero custom ROMs that explicitly support the Sprint G900P version of the S5. The only one that I have found (which I am currently using) is the R.D.D.T ROM, as well as the other two similar builds of the same thing. This brings up my main question.
From what I've gathered, deodexed ROMs were originally used to be able to edit things such as status bar colors (clock, notification icons, etc) and even the icons themselves. They boot 'slower' but after the initial boot it is not that recognizable as newer hardware more than compensates for this issue.
So I have flashed a deodexed ROM onto my phone (R.D.D.T.). Now, this ROM also has an odexed version as well. I assumed that having the deodexed version would allow me to edit icons, colors, etc. However, I'm not quite sure how I can do it.
I have seen and read about people installing custom, deodexed ROMs onto their phones, and many of them (Alliance, X-Note) will come with either an app pre-installed on the ROM, or a ROM-specific menu in Settings. This menu lets them customize things in the way I would like to be able to. The problem is that, at this time, the G900P (Sprint) version of the Galaxy S5 is not supported by either of those ROMs, or many other popular ROMs for that matter. R.D.D.T. (and R.O.D.T as well as the Mystery Build) was one of the only ROMs I could find that explicitly supports the G900P. I like the concept of this ROM, as it seems like a good, no BS bloat-less ROM that is otherwise very close to stock Android. But, I do not believe it came with any ROM-specific way of editing colors, themes, icons, etc. So my question is a few parts I guess:
-Is there still a way (downloadable app, editing files, etc) for me to be able to edit colors on the S5 with this ROM?
-In a situation like this, what is the benefit of having a deodexed ROM installed?
-Are there other ROMs similar to R.D.D.T. that currently support the G900P S5 which additionally offer customization?
-What is it with the Galaxy S5 that is causing so many ROMs to not officially support it?
Sorry for the long post, but my primary aim here is to learn everything that I can about this.

I just switched to this per your recommendation. It had quite a bit more included than the ultra-streamlined R.D.D.T, but definitely a lot of customization there! Though I sort of wish it had an option to link certain aspect's colors together, like Alliance or other ROMs allow. Instead you have to go through and copy/paste a color for each aspect. Nit-picking though
Anyway, I do appreciate the suggestion, but I'm still looking for an answer to my question regarding the needs/desires for a deodexed ROM. I'd have to imagine that M.O.A.R. is deodexed because of the color changing capabilities it has, yet R.D.D.T. is also deodexed, but doesn't support these kinds of changes. As I stated in my OP, I was under the impression that customization was the primary reason for a deodexed ROM.
Deodexed just means you can rip/push/edit whatever you want inside an apk (images, parameters) and not have to rebuild the odex file for the apk. You can do the same things on odexed, its just a *****. Deodexed is just far far far easier to edit.
Also, as for MOAR and RDDT: just imagine that MOAR has a built in gravitybox. That's literally all it is.

I see. Is that something you can do after the ROM is flashed? As in, could I flash R.D.D.T. and then edit an APK and reboot to get that effect? Or is it done upon building the ROM itself?

Sure. Just needs a soft reboot or restart the apk you modified.

If its only booted with twrp or cwm, what change did you make to make this boot and still have WiFi and I assume data? Maybe you should share in the all things general thread?
Disregard. This ROM is already posted there. I wonder how this one is compatible and we can't figure out why the others aren't.

Yup. This ROM was ported by Gogollie. This was built with a TouchWiz kernel, that's why it boots, it isn't real GPE without the GPE kernel. Just themed with some AOSP apps.

actually no 3.5 I have never ported. If its davy's ROM still its probably Stock International Wanam ROM Build with KNOX and other crap cleaned up with options to install AOSP apps by DSA creator of BlackBox another great Hybrid or its 100% TouchWiz with his Domination theme flashed over the top. If you dont know what Domination is in terms of a theme its one of the greatest themes ever made. I miss the option to go white with it sometimes tho. Its themed to look nearly identical to AOSP. Theres other Aroma options to MOD the ROM to act more like AOSP or install AOSP Apps like Calculators, Camera, and stuff. The Aroma installer is pretty nifty and lets you somewhat De-Bloat while installing it.
My newest ROM looks completely different and installs at half the size. Its also a minimal install / beast with speed and battery. I dont know its been posted here but you should be able to use it no problem. with safestrap just flash your modules to get wifi working. and if your at&T you might have to flash an apn patch to replace the apns from /etc directory with your own. or maybe manually entering them would work too. Its nearly all AOSP but yes in order to maintain good data signal, wifi, tethering, usb, etc I had to make a ROM over the TW so the Stock Kernel that most of AT&T/VZW has to run with a locked bootloader would be able to use these features of the phone with no problems. Theres also a "Smoke Weed Everyday"Nate Dogg Audio Clip during shutdown that I accidentally forgot to remove before releasing so if at work or school you might want to delete the file PowerOff.ogg from the /system/media/audio/ui folder you can also replace the file or PowerOn.ogg for startup sound with any mp3 or ogg file just rename it to that file name...

I've ran Purified for a long time on the 4.4.2, it's a TouchWiz-based ROM so it works with Safestrap just fine. It's using the Domination AOSP them package, it's a solid rom and I'm happy to see it's update I'll have to switch back.
@guut13 - I'm testing it now ~ I'll let you know how it goes so you can update the index.
