*"THE MISSING LINK" Theme builder v1(see changelog)
BEFORE MODDING YOUR SYSTEM ALWAYS MAKE A FULL NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
I don't own this device. This is being ported over from my original project for the S2. I have successfully ported it to a total of 5 different devices with various options working depending on what's available for that device. This has been built and tested on my friends AT&T S4
It is built using vrtheme for compatibility.
Aroma installer; to theme it the way you want it.
You will literally have unlimited options!!!!
With this mod you have to ability mod certain aspects of your Theme;
You have the option to pick from
*4 Pre-built themes
or go for the
*Build-a-Theme option will when I get it dialed will have literally Unlimited options for new theme option. The Theme options are Vrtheme for universal compatibility. You will be able to choose from options like
*Dialerpad Numbers, (still W.I.P)
*Signalbars, 30+ choices
*Data Icons/Arrows, 13 choices
*Wi-Fi Icons, 14 choices
*Frameworks, Base System Option which will theme to match, the apks will include Framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk, SecMms_Blue.apk, SecTele and InCallUi.apks, Keyguard.apk and some of the other common system apks, 12 choices
*Volume and Brightness Sliders, 27 choices
*Spinners, 27 choices
*Toggles, 15 choices (these are taking a lot to make these work from my S2, so not all are complete)
(to fully complete options are limited to only the 3d version, Slick, Life, El Diablo, and the Blue Glass)
*Toggle Backgrounds, 15 choices
*Switches, 9 choices
*Lockscreen Unlock Animations, 9 choices (must select in lockscreen options "unlock effect" none
*Divider Lines Primary and Secondary, 9 choices each
*Transition Animations, 4 options
You will also have options that allow
*Bootanimations with (Custom zip or Samasung QMG enabled) 15 choices
*Shutdown Animations, 13 choices
That is all the theme option available right now. The installer has animated and still image previews for most of the choices.
Also included are the Aroma File Manager - Browse your system file with function control of "permissions", "copy, delete, move" and also "Terminal Commands"
Then there is my "Backup/Restore" script which is extremely helpful if you're a flashaholic like myself. You can save your current settings, WiFi and Bluetooth profiles as well as backup your account log in also including text, phone book and cal logs. Pick what you want to backup and restore it after you wipe and install a new ROM.
There will be more coming to this section in every update for a while!!

Thank you. Like I mentioned in the op I don't own this phone, I just put it together for a friend. Depending on the level of interest I have more, a lot more I can add. I would need willing people to test and give me some feedback and even suggestions for future releases. Hopefully this is a good start though. Let me know how things are looking. Thanks
Nice work
Nice thanks man ..
thx for theme but will work in both 9500 and 9505 or what exactly and work in kitkat 442 stock roms or not ?? thx

I use vrtheme scripts for universal compatability. Haven't really heard back anything about it not working on a particular rom so I would say your good to go on any TouchWiz 4.4.2 Kit Kat rom. It will still work on older Jelly Bean, just won't look as complete

I would like to address the missing items. The one quick test I was able to get off on my friends phone showed great success with only the toggle background not working.
What options did you choose, what did and didn't work? What rom are you running? And do you have other mods or themes add to your phone?
I'm on insane rom 4.4.4 the options where were combos of purple and green ( a few different combos just to make sure it wasn't just a combo selection or something) of signal bars stuff on the status bar toggles and such but I see y they didn't now it's bc this is for 4.4.2

Thank you for the input, very helpful. Looks like I need to do some updating to 4.4.4. Unfortunately T-mobile S5 is lagging on getting the update. If that's the only thing not working a SystemUI.apk from your rom would give me what u need. If you can post one for me and I'll look at the fix for you. Thanks again for the valuable info

Sorry I didn't get back to thank you for the apk. Busy day/night didn't get much done over here. I did review the app with my phone and it doesn't look we're too far off!! So hopefully I'll get some time to put this together properly . Have you played around with other options? working or not working?
I have seen sickness work around at it looks very good!! Awesome to have so much talent making our phone look and do amazing things!!!
Thanks again i may send a couple of small things your way to test. Appreciate it!!!

I cant see a preview of my choice in aroma installer. I have tryed a couple of times with going 'back' and then again 'next', but no preview of my choice. I use TWRP 2.8.0.1 repacked - black themed.

I'm still working on getting all the previews set up. All in good time my friend. Which exactly preview/previews weren't working? The important question, did your choices work?
Will this work with Imperium v12 442 nh8 with S5 mod?

@stangdriver44, the only thing I have noticed is a added folder in SystemUI. It appears to contain notifications, toggles, etc. In order for vrtheme to flash pngs you will need to add the new folder.

Hi, I have some tests done today with your mega fat cool mod. [emoji33][emoji106] I have not tried everything, because there are so many possibilities! [emoji6] What I can tell you is that there are mods that do show the example, and that there are mods that show no example. Personally for me this is not a disaster, but I did this just to mention. What is more important, as yourself said, is that the mods work or not. I have tried different mods via 'make your own theme "option and not everything was installed. Maybe the problem is with the custom ROM I have, I do not know. The mods that do not work for me: all status icons and lock screen unlock effect. All others will work, I think. Like I said, I have not all been tested. Grtz. [emoji41]

FYI
-try the new cm6 final version elegant steel is up next-
-working with 25-28-
-updated versions recompiled with 8.27framework-
-version one works with 19-24 nightlys-
SWYPE ISSUES
-uninstall previous version with titanium if you encounter problems-
(if your having a tuff time i added the blueswyping.kb+mic to a UPDATE.ZIP and in APK)
UPDATE:
added
-people widget 1.2
(sense like people widget for adw)
-adb wireless
-themed cyanSwitcher
-snap widget
-fixed cam,mms,and email
I noticed that cm6 was finished so i recompiled the framework for it and elegant steel. i also added super circle battery to elegant, thats all i added. i have to go back and check out some more files in es since i never used it yet but i need testers so let me know. grab the cm6 final version of this theme BELOW
UPDATE:
I was having some issues yesturday and my buddy sdrew made me aware that the cam was broken. not vid just still;well i was working on updates ALL day trying to get things right on my phone so i could update, i ul'd a fix for the issues grab it below. the update will include hulu (thanks to planklongbeard),the options fixes and the newest adw. until i get the full update just grab the zip below and your issues will be resolved. I will finish full update in a bit, the source of my issues yesturday was an adw i was modding;its fixed now and everything is back on track,Sorry about any inconvenience. I had a NICE size update finished yesturday and when i returned to work it went bye bye....so i was forced to call it a night(or shoot somebody).
DOWNLOAD BB_FIX
UPDATE:
I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!we now have the first theme with integrated supercircle battery icons. I had to de-compile edit and then re-compile framework to get it to work right. i re-upped a version with the new swyping kb(Blueberry-CM-nightly-exp8cs.zip) for those who cant get it installed(downgrade is a pia); and another with the 1.56kb+tts(Blueberry-CM-nightly-exp7ds.zip) for those that can. Check below for dl's(use titanium for swypingKB removal).
i was feeling the need for a new theme so i threw this together. thank Jairomeo for his work on Flavored Ice(check his themes here) since i cant get 100 battery working right on cm yet i used Phinnaeus' battery and signal meter from sculpted.
Im still working on a few more extras and possibly two more themes atm as well, so be patient and help me get it right
I also included a themed swyping kb+mic
(i will be theming it a color i like more very soon)
THIS IS FOR NIGHTLYS starting with 8.24
(should work a few nites before)
DO NOT FLASH ON RC2 and complain about loop
(that would be YOUR error)
KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE MY CYANOGEN MOD SETTINGS all custom so i have TWO diff. colors of blue in the theme pics; the blue from the theme, and the cyan from my cyanogenmod custom colors setup.
(you can also adjust yours accordingly)

sorry what i had to do here would be alot of work to do it for a rom i dont use. i use nightlys; rc2 is the distant past for me. this is more for my cm6 nightly buddies to have some eye candy if they should choose. you should consider flashing the newer versions so you can benefit from all the updates...

Love the settings icons..
I could show pics all day cause its really detailed everywhere Thank you for sharing this!
There is just a couple spots the white lettering is a bit hard to read. its by no means anything big at all and may even be me lol. The first one looks much better in the pic but on the phone the white letters below the add call etc don't really pop out at you. Black would pop out and be easier to read under different light/sunlight conditions.
Its the same in this one below where black would pop out more. As you know that would also change it black across the contact panel etc
Like I said these look great as is..it only becomes hard in different lighting conditions etc..
Is there anyway to get rid of the signal bars all together? Probably not but thought I would ask. Oh and are these the same fonts as in the last one? They seem close but I'm not positive.

i have some more things to add, but i would just make those parts completely opaque and they would not show up. really glad you like it and thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated. just curious did you do a data wipe before install or no?
Nope just wiped cache and flashed..I removed a few apk's so I can't say for sure those couldn't cause issues.
is there any way someone can port this over to the rc2 bc i am wanting to stop wiping and flashing eveday and losing all my stuff i just want something stable but i cant live with out this theme

There are some pretty solid nightly builds..if they stopped doing nightlys right now I could run on last nights till RC3.
You don't have to change everyday or at all for that matter, and keep rocking this theme!

I want to use it for dolphin hd in launcher pro icon..

**UPDATE 1/29/12**
trparky put up some new links for us
Black_and_Blue_v1.9.zip -- Base Black and Blue Theme
Black_and_Blue_Batt2_v1.9.zip -- Black and Blue Theme with Round Battery Icon
Black_and_Blue_Infinity_TSM.zip -- Black and Blue Theme with Infinity ROM TSMParts Compatibility[/QUOTE]
**/UPDATE 1/29/12**
**UPDATE 12/16/11**
This is based on EP4D. There were some issues that may have stemmed from how the original files were deodexed, so I went back through and did my own deodexing from the actual OTA. Hopefully this should fix whatever issues there were. DWitherell put a lot of time and effort into some edits that have been incorporated into the theme, such as the reboot options, removing the label at the top of the power menu, enabling ASOP lockscreen. I hope everything is taken care of now.
**/UPDATE 12/16/11**
I know I've been stuck on making blue themes lately, but I've been trying to get one that I would really want to stick with. I'm pretty satisfied with this one. I used some of the images from ICS, a few from framework-res.
This is definitely the closest I've gotten to a complete retheming. It should be coherent throughout the system, so the text should be the same color scheme in addition to the images.
This theme is based off of stock EP4P release, meaning it will work with stock deodexed or Humble (I haven't actually tried it, but its stock, so it ought to work). I assume it would also work with EP1W Gummy RC1.5 and below, but not 2.0 or 2.1, and it probably won't work on Infinity. When we get some new ROMs out, I'll probably port it to work with them.
Themed:
Camera.apk
ClockPackage.apk
Contacts.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
framework-res.apk
Gallery3d.apk
JobManagaer.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
SystemUI.apk
TouchWizCalendar.apk
twframework-res.apk
Downloads:
dwitherell let me know today that he had worked out the smali edits necessary to put the extended boot options into the power menu (when you hold the power button). So thanks to him we now have recovery and download boot options just a click away. These will be included in all versions starting with v1.4
Black_and_Blue_v1.9.zip
Black_and_Blue_Batt2_v1.9.zip
*This is the same theme but with a round battery icon*
Black_and_Blue_Infinity1214_TSM.zip
V1.0 Was pretty close to a finished product, however, as I continued testing it I found a few more images that needed to be dealt with, then as I got more into it, I went through and tried to get all of the text to be the proper colors, so hopefully you shouldn't run into the yellow/brown text color in at least any of the major apps.
Instructions:
Make sure you have root and Clockwork Recovery installed
- Boot into recovery (Use either Reboot Button app or Hold Volume Up + Home + Power Buttons when phone is off, until the Samsung logo flashes then release all buttons)
- Select "mounts and storage"
- Mount /system/
- Go Back
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select "Black_and_Blue.zip"
- Select "Yes - Install Black_and_Blue.zip"
- Go Back
- Select Reboot System Now.
***The first boot may take a little longer than usual***
As usual, flash this theme at your own risk, myself, xda, nor anyone other than yourself is responsible for damages to your phone.

Gunnermike as I used the info he gave me for my last theme to continue my work.
dwitherell made the smali edits to the stock EP4 files in order to get us the extended boot options. He used information from untermensch as well as information he was able to piece together from the infinity team.
substanced as I used his modded camera.apk which is included after v1.6
If you give the theme a shot and like it, leave me a thanks. Or Buy Me A Drink
Not sure if anyone has jumped on this, but I've updated the OP with links for v1.1 as well as updated screenshots. This should be pretty much a final release, there shouldn't be much to change.
Loving this theme so far 100x better than corecharge. Now I truely love my phone!!!

Alright, you get to pick the next color then. What would you like to see? It probably will be a few weeks off, but it'll be my next project
Hey stranula thanks for this great theme work. This looks beautiful, clean, simple, stylish, and a great color choice. I used your grays and blacks a while back but this looks really nice. Keep up the good work, I for one appreciate and use your themes.

Great, its good to know that there are people using them. I'm quite pleased with how this theme turned out. I really just theme in an attempt to satisfy myself. The stock theme is awful, and a lot of themes people make are too....well they are too something....I like simple. So when I get bored looking at my theme then it comes time to produce another one haha. I do like the basic look I've got on this one.
Nice Job! Simple,crisp& clean theme. I used your gray's & black theme also. Some of the other themes I've seen are too over the top for my liking.
As for color suggestions maybe a green theme, or red theme would be nice.

Looks nice man ill try it out in a few days I flash a new rom or theme every few days.
Get bored easy ...lol

Very cool theme. Great Job! I would like to see a red and black theme with the signal indicator to be red as well. Would be something different and fit the "droid" name. Just a thought and idea. Anyways thanks for the work that you put into the charge. Appreciated!
Exactly what I've been looking for... complete with crt screen off animation. Thanks!

As for the next color...dark purple (honeycomb-ish) ?
----too overdone
Green?
-----hmm...
Red?
----already been done
How about something that matches SwiftKey X's Neon or dark (or whatever it's called) theme?
---Not neon, I could just use ICS theme.
Gray and green maybe.

Thanks for the work on all your themes. I've had the grey in the past and now I'm sporting your "another" blue. I'll probably give this one a shot this weekend. However, I love the Droid Eye phone skin from "another". Is there a way I can just copy a file somewhere to keep it? If so, what file and where do I put it.
Again thanks for your work!
See the OP for an update to v1.2. It fixes some stuff in the contacts.

You would need to copy the appropriate images from the droid eye phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk to the same apks from this rom.
Crap I did something wrong such as hitting the wrong button because I flashed and it wiped my phone. Now I gotta restart everything .Oh well.

Make sure you use CWM and do a backup before doing anything else custom. Whenever you do a custom mod and things work and you like, then create another backup. If your mod fails or you hit a wrong button, then you can use CWM and restore from your previous backup.
As you get more backups on your sd card, you will want to start deleting them from the oldest as they will fill your sd card.

Yeah it was no big deal just more of a pain in the butt. Most stuff such as apps I have backed up but settings is no big deal to me.
There is an update in the OP for battery 2 option
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is perfect!

Ah I see you've included the stock tw clock app. That's good, it seems like most roms nowadays just use the aosp one but this is one of the few areas where touchwiz excels because that app has so much more functionality.
Theme looks really slick. Flashing as soon as ep4p finishes downloading.

I present to you my AOSP Honeycomb theme (**FROST**BITE**V1.0) for p6200 and p6200L (let me know if it work on any other)
I have had the day off college so i decided it was time to get to grips with my tab as we don't always see eye to eye. haha. iv modded what ever i could find in framework & system Ul. although it looks cool now just give me some time to work on this baby
what is themed?
well....
.system ul
.notification box with transparent backing
.power control themed gray
.lock screen
.clock
.settings icon (will theme setting ASAP in black)
.messaging icon (will theme message .apk ASAP)
.notification bar is now stock black with stock 3.0 soft keys in gray/white
.battery is themed but needs work sizing etc (I may add a circle mod hmmm..)
.signal bar ripped from XOOM stock 3.1 honeycomb ROM
.launcher is themed with stock honeycomb app key but still TW (i will add the option of a stock AOSP launcher.zip but you can not add widgets
to be continued.......
what is stock?......
well....
.camera is stock AOSP with stock icon.
.browsed is stock AOSP
.gallery is stock AOSP
.music is the latest AOSP version (sooo cool)
.clock widget is stock AOSP.
extras...
you will also get in the .zip....
asus weather widget
XOOM clock widget
movie studio XOOM
Toshiba media player
and a selection of stock honeycomb wallpapers
installation.
0.nandroid then check if you have a nandroid back up then check agen haha...
1. clear data on the following before install....Browser/ clock/ launcher (it just helps prevent issues and damn force closes)
2. make sure you are deodexed and rooted
3.place **FROST**BITE**V1.1.zip on to your external SD card navigate to choose zip for SD and flash....BANG!!!....your in **FROST**BITE**V1.0
thanks me or buy me a beer
Download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8623715/FROST_BITE_V1.1 beta.zip
the setting will come in a update.zip also with the soft keys you see now
updates:
v1.1 beta:....uploading now
whats changed?...A) soft keys are more stock with matching screen capture and a very nice purple battery mod. you will also get AOSP stock setting with TW feel.
AOSP wallpapers are attached at the bottom to install but a faulty install in the .zip may mean you need to go to root explorer and uninstall the other one if it does not work let me know.
Disclaimer: i am not responsible if you brick your device under Google's open sauce licence. i will help you if you do something wrong but its not my fault.
if you do decide to blame me i will simply giggle at your expense haha then suggest ways for you to use your tab...drinks tray, diner mat, roofing slate...haha
Went a head and flashed your ROM on the T869 device (running deodexed rom). Screen cap below. It was charging at time of screen cap. I changed wallpaper immediately because the one the theme was very odd and very "zoomed in" looking.
I know this was not meant for this device...but its fun to try right?
Few things that don't look right.
-Lock screen orbit is a small square...that's it. You can still unlock though.
-Battery icon when device is not charging is off. It turns it into a gray spiral type icon.
-Get 3g icon instead of 4g (obvious reason why)
Again, not a problem report...just letting those know who want to play with the t869 device. I'm finding these themes are almost do-able on the T869.

thanks mate for you reply as you sed this is not for your device you were lucky not to soft brick it it only looks funny on your device as the framework files are quite different from the ones on your device so you have most probably entered a different file when it flashed hence the freaky wallpaper p.s. my new update it being uploaded in second so feel free to give it a go my friend its so much better that the older version and the battery looks cool to made it myself
i am planning on making some battery mod.zips with a big selection and next week after making this theme black i will defo start a new

p.s. thanks so much for the donations guys very much appreciated glad you all like my work

In regards to me flashing this on T869 Device (which it was not made for)
I knew it wouldn't soft brick...been playing with the current themes offered and have flashed before. Most of the framework and system are similar enough it will boot every time...just may not look right on some things. Ive owned and flashed many android devices...so very comfortable with it.
Im in no way a dev...very wet behind the ears when it comes to theming. But the T869 device needs some love so im trying my best to learn how I can do just that...give it some love.
I greatly appreciate your work.

thank you very much im pleased with that.
what tools are you using to theme at this moment?
Just picked up a 6 core system last night to run Linux on. Probably try setting up the kitchen once I finish building the system.
Any tips you could help me with would be appreciated.

ohhh...cool man what possessor u using?
the best software to theme is something as simple as 7-zip for opening apks and PAINT.NET for coloring and re-sizing or Photoshop for high quality themeing
AMD Phenom II X6 3.3 GHz, 10g mem
I'm very fluent in Photoshop, so I will be using that for "theming". Very familiar with 7zip.

its very easy all you have to do is set up the kitchen you require and select the option fill in the information you want to show in the recovery log add change log and fill with apks etc... haha but you do have to write the paths out e.g. if you want something going in to system, app make a system folder and put app folder in to that one then place your required file in to it and it will pop it in their when flashed. A very easy cheats way is to copy someones META-INF file and place it in to a .zip then fill in your paths described above easy!....when you get going

Glasstopia
This is by no means a completed theme. I've just spent many many hours getting everything translucent and correcting everything I could find that didn't look right with the new transparency (Not to mention getting Contacts.apk to compile at all). So for now, I'm calling this an initial release.
F.A.Q.Q. You included the blue flames?!?! Oh No!!!!
A. Ok....seriously this time. The flames (and most status bar changes coming in the future) are housed in the system/app/SystemUI.apk. If you delete it from Glasstopia before you flash, or push the one over from Glasstopia_Revert or HFS after you flash, then no more flames
I originally created this theme for the Vibrant a long time ago, and decided to bring it over to my new phone. What I've been able to do so far:
General Cyan/Blue Theme
Many Custom Icons and Images
New Wallpaper (See Bottom)
"Accurate" Battery Icons
Translucent Notification Dropdown
Animated Notification Icons
Translucent Dialer
Translucent Contacts
Translucent Mms
Translucent Settings
Translucent Music Player
Translucent GMail

For a wide variety of transparent widgets visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8398577#post8398577
I don't see any point in reproducting perfectly good work, so I won't be making any widgets that are on that list. However, if there's any widget that you don't find there, isn't up to date, or simply would like it looking a bit different let me know and I'll take a look at it
Glasstopia v1.3:
Added animated notification icons
Themed system menu icons
Themed power menu icons
Themed popup menus
Added "missing" icons
Glasstopia v1.2:
Framework-res.apk and systemui.apk now are themed by Theme Engine
Gmail.apk updated to latest version
Animated status bar removed for the time being (hopefully will find a good way to add it back)
Glasstopia v1.1:
Reduced transparency of framework to better accommodate visibility of text in certain apps.
Fixed text color oversight in Mms compose message.
Added some new icons
Re-skinned Lockscreen
Fixed lack of transparency when creating new contacts.
New status bar images
General blue/cyan coloring
New Mms.apk images
New default_wallpaper.png (doesn't seem to apply)
Probably more....
Glasstopia v1.0 (Initial Release):
Translucent and Animated Statusbar
Translucent Dialer
Translucent Contacts
Translucent Mms
Translucent Settings
Translucent Music Player
Translucent GMail

Guess Dropbox isn't going to work for me. My old host is out of business unfortunately. Let's see how mediafire does. Sorry about that. Links are updated.
Also, shouldn't NEED to wipe anything. However, if you like to be extra careful, it never hurts to wipe the cache first.
Edit: haven't decided on a theme color yet. I kinda like blue themes, but there's been suggestions for red in keeping with the general theme of the rom. Thoughts?

If you need a nice, free host for devs, i strongly suggest Goo-inside.me to host your work. They're free, all about android, official hosts of RootzWiki, and did i mention they're free?

Glad you like it. Ya, I'll definitely be changing out lots of icons and images in the future. This is just the result of the "hard work" of making everything transparent (people don't get how much actual coding can be involved for theme projects like this sometimes ). I just kind of exhausted myself with this first part and took a little breather since the next part is pretty tedious.
I'll hopefully get started on the images tomorrow if i can decide between blue and red (or maybe both somehow)

I would suggest waiting until I post an update after each of Hell's updates. It's not so much that it wouldn't work....it very likely would. However, any changes Hell makes to the apks I'm replacing would be lost.
However, my current plan/goal is to basically postpone my releases until Hell makes a new release. At that point I'll find a quick "stopping point", package it up, and post it here. Hopefully I'll be able to get this done either same day or next day depending on my work schedule (I work 12hr shifts, so some days are definitely better than others ).
Flames
I'm relatively new on XDA, so please don't flame me; however I am not a huge fan of the flames. Now I know that this is not a matter to be argued about, as everyone has different tastes. I was just wondering if there is any real way to use this theme without them. Just to be sure, I did the factory wipe in CWM as described in the OP; however, as I expected, this wiped my phone and left the flames. I realize that this description on removing the flames may be sarcasm, and that is perfectly acceptable. It is your theme and I have no right to complain about it or ask you to change it to my liking. I would only ask that you point out whatever I am missing if there is a way to remove the flames. If not, I won't complain.
Thanks

Indeed it was sarcasm. If you delete the SystemUI.apk out of the /system/app folder in the Glasstopia_v1.0.zip when flashing to HFS it won't add the flames. To remove them if you already have them, move the SystemUI.apk from Glasstopia_Revert.zip or HFS.zip to Glasstopia_v1.0.zip then flash.
Edit: Peterman720 is not to be harmed. I knew this question was coming from someone sometime, and he phrased it politely

Instructions for adding extras...YOU MUST ADD EXTRAS BEFORE YOU INSTALL ROM: download both ROM and Extras .zip; unzip both ROM and Extras to your computer; go into the Extras folder and check out the folders for the extras you want; copy the .apk's you want into system/app on the ROM(note: some Extras require you to also add/replace libs...libs can be found in system/lib on the ROM)(note#2: some of the .apk's in the Extra folder will require you to replace other .apk's in the ROM..just delete the same .apk that is in the ROM and replace it with the .apk you have choosen from the Extras folder); once you are done adding/replacing all the files and/or libs make a .zip folder of: boot, system and meta-inf folders; give the .zip a name and place it on the root of you ext-sdcard; since these are just apps you will not have to do a full wipe BUT WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE; then flash and your good! once i get aroma down packed then it'll be easier but for now if you want the extras just follow the guide a list of whats in the Extras folder is at bottom where "updates" is at.

Other than the default wallpaper, what differentiates this ROM from the rest?

He kind of said this is his first ROM, and most of the features are things a lot of other roms have. The important, more subtle part is that we have another dev on scene and although his ROM is pretty standard atm, everyone starts somewhere, even devs like synergy and paranoid, and his future work may start to bring more unique features.
Coming from someone who likes to build his own kernels from source (for fun and learning), and knowing how much work that alone can take until you get the hang of it and get your own process going, I understand his excitement of building a new ROM and getting into the dev community.
To dev: good luck to you man. I usually run rooted stock or synergy (although MOAR has been working itself in there ), so I'll be sure to comment if I find anything.

Based upon what I've read it sounds like a very simple ROM (which I've been looking for) and seems to be quite the pleaser.
I admire your efforts and hope to see more of your work in the future!

Aroma is kind of a PITA... Lol
If you don't know C then you kinda just have to read it and figure it out yourself. Go look at my updater-script and aroma-config in my META-INF folder if you wanna see how it's done.
You have me on gtalk so I can answer any questions you have
