[REQUEST] Android 5.0 Clock (v3.0.2) Port

Hello everyone
There is a great demand for those android 5.0 apks out there , and most of those apps cant be installed on KitKat because of the well-known errors ." There was a problem while parsing the package " or Crashing apps
Our devs here have already started porting apps and they give us the joy to try them out in our devices ;
5.0 apps that work on KitKat are Calendar , Calculator , Messenger , Keyboard , Launcher and many Google Apps
There are still apps like the Clock which , if I am right have not yet been ported
I love the new clock because it isn't boring like the old one , and it also changes background colours in respect to the current time of the day
If someone could port that amazing app for us , I would appreciate it and I would be thankful
Thank You

G620s/Honor 4/4x

Hi all i have a G620s. I saw that some roms for honor4x (like cm13) work on G620s, so i talk for the three phones. I have a request, or idea.... There is a rom with ios style? I mean a rom with lockscreen, status bar like ios, control center, added by default, because i tried some apps but the make my phone slow, and they work not very good. You can say : but why? i think that ios style is better than android (only style, android is better in functionality ) and i ask myself if is possible to keep ios style in our phones Let me know your ideas

"What a user expect from custom rom" - Discussion

Disclaimer - This thread is not to offend or criticize any developer or his work, it's just to show a user perspective about the work by developer and their respective expectations.
Firstly I am very thankful to all those developers who are working for POCO F1 or any other device because personally I know how hard it is to make something work unofficially on a device.
Now what I personally expect from the custom roms are the three thing :-
1. Touch response as good as the official stock vendor rom ( if the response is better than that it's auspicious ).
2. Performance as good " " " " " " " " " same.
3. Battery life as good " " " " " " " " " " same.
I went for Custom Rom because MIUI is not Stock Android Experience and Custom Roms (like HAVOC and Crdroid) has whole deeper level of customization and tweaks !
-from resizing rearranging navigation bar to
- QS panel Icon size & arrangment to shortcuts to
- status bar icons , type and arrangment to pie bars and
- gestures!
not to mention you can change fonts and thicknes on every level!
for me custom rom are enrich your User Interface!
and yes ofcourse I am on Havoc and lagging, hanging of system ui are unknown to me! Ram management is good! but yes whatsapp do hangs but its mainly because my whatsapp data is 10.1gb
I think these QS tiles must be included : sync, location, volume, reboot(system, recovery, bootloader), screenshots, screen recorder, etc.
And ability to restrict per-app data/wifi usage.
1. simplicity. no gapps, no gdialer etc.. pure aosp with aosp dialer,messages and another few aps ( cam, gallery, files, calculator )
2. statusbar padding icons FIXED ! still no dev has provided yet a perfect statusbar visual experience. when you go from lockscreen to homescreen, the statusbar items shift inwards and mostly are not properly alligned.
3. brightness slider on the bottom of qs tiles area, today we have large phones and moving your finger all the way up is a pain in the ass. do you hear this, Lineage team ?
4. simple and decent default launcher, being able to support icon packs and to show original app icons ( a lot of these default icons will place your original squared icon into a circle )
5. haven't seen this in any rom, but i would like, when making and receive calls to be on 2g, else 3g/4g
6. under the hood optimizations man ! under the hood !
Newest GPU drivers and latest kernel features.

Android 12 - horrible UI change

Greetings everyone,
I've recently bought a new phone with android 12 preinstalled ( Xperia 5 II ) and I can't express how ugly and awfully that UI is being designed.
On top of that lack of customization is getting on my nerves as well as some of the functionalities, despite how it looks this is not only a rant, I really want your help.
-Notification bar ( completely reworked, swiping once shows only 4 HUGE tiles instead of 6 as it should be, and swiping twice 8 instead of 9)
-Notification Tile toggles ( lack of wifi, mobile data, nfc, 3G/4G+ switch toggle)
-Recent apps Tab ( checking overview tab shows apps vertically positioned, each taking almost full screen preview and having to navigate through all of them to reach CLEAR ALL)
-Unable to set main Homescreen page
I've 'fixed' some things to my liking by using different launcher, adb to restore wifi,data toggles(functional but not showing whether it's pressed or not) and still got some things that I'm stuck with.
With all that said my question is: What would my options here be? Could I 'flash' (replace) only the UI version without rooting ( that was maybe too stupid of a question but I'm wondering)
Is it possible that I rollback to A11 or even force upgrade to A13 (phone wont get any further updates past A12) and retrieve functions mentioned above? (If I go on this path would only use official android stock version for my device, not rooting, hopefully without losing any functionalities)
Please give me your thoughts on this as I would be very grateful for every reply!
Thanks in advance!
