Can someone make a rom similar to the iphone's ui any replies would be great thanks
Sure, I'll get right on that.

SOMEONE can, but I doubt anyone will. If youre running CM6 you could probably make a theme or somthing... try checking in the regular android theme section.
Moved to general as not development
Yeah there's an iphone theme on cm6, its ugly though. Well. I dislike iphones so that's just my opinion.

China company already has, it's called MiUi. Not sure if it runs on the Aria though. There was a report that it was sending info back to China, so caveat emptor.

I've been using their MiUi web browser, which was released separately, and is actually pretty sweet:

A guy translated it to English, and the MiUi guys saw it, and are making an official English port.
Yes I know miui but someone has to port it

Since my rom isn't out yet I've decided to move the thread here. I'm leaning towards the miui interface as of right now and am testing a miui rom to get acquainted with it and familiar with the guts of it. I got to say that it's very zippy. I had thought about putting together a senseless rom that would be stripped of all unnecessary bloatware and good on battery life not to mention fast. After testing miui for the past day, I'm leaning more towards miui. Out would be relatively easy to compile a rom based on the stock base, but it wouldn't be fresh. I'm still waiting to hear back bout using the name "Light Speed" before I actually make it the official name. Although the idea is to make it light with speed. Essentially you would have to install all your favorite apps but the crucial apps for the operation of the rom would have to remain. Afa launcher and lock screen, I'm still deciding and am open to suggestions.

Are you planning on compiling from source, or pretty much ripping and tweaking different aspects of ROMs into a new compilation?
Hey, I would like to help with development on this. I believe you're looking for collaboration? I've some experience theming, and a little with compiling.
I was thinking MIUI with Rosie? That would be cool

I'm not familiar enough with compiling. Probably just ripping and tweaking for now. Don't want to bork someones phone and need to get a rom going that's stable and reliable first. Maybe after MIUI releases a source code we can cook something up from scratch. Rosie is nice but it would have to be heavily modded to get something outstanding and original.

Just wanted to give an update. Still testing miui by nix right now. I'm probably going to get going with a sense based rom. Work has been hectic. Working twelve hour might shifts seven days a week. It will be a light and fast rom. Still have some things to consider for a miui rom.

You may have read that, but it is not true. There is a lot of effort involved in porting a user interface line Motrblur or Sense from one platform to another. In most cases the UI is not open source and without the source code it is very complicated and some times impossible.
ok thank you thats the type of advice i need.. cause just need to figure out the specs and if its even possible....
i just read all the specs on the motorola back flip and they are practically the same as the aria the just a slower processor ..... n the led flash..
like tpbklake just said... Motoblur sits on top of android and it is most likely not open source, and will be difficult (near impossible?) to port over. I'm no expert, but in any situation the specs really shouldn't matter. FYI (for your information) you can get a backflip on ebay for under $100 if youre that desperate to have motoblur.
Y do i have to be disperate.. just a reg guy tryin to add to the dev of the aria.. is everyone on the site out to disrespect people tryin to learn wat they no.. wtf thanks for ur input anyway dude

Now, THIS phone has nearly identical specs to the Aria. I'd try to find a ROM from this and go from there. If you're brave enough, flash it! But I'd recommend rooting your phone and having clockword mod installed with a working nandroid backup first.
http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2010/10/cyanogenmod-6-android-221-for-boston.html
ok thanks for ur help i will try to flash some roms today and give a respond as to how it goes with the name and download links of whateva roms i try...
This is just my opinion, but if you have an Aria now, I wouldn't even bother with MotoBlur. The user integration is hands down rather horrible. Plus, like many said in here, integrating that into a rom for this phone would be a dev nightmare.
MotoBlur is a custom skin by Motorola, and the source is probably locked down! It would take a lot of time...

Why switch roms, if you like MIUI so much anyways?
Miui has shut down thanks to nix apparently. Well, not the Chinese, just the site and bringing it to English.

I guess warttack and some other will be starting up their on miui Inc site...
I was wondering what was going on with the site. Warttack and NIX are no longer porting for the Inc, however, War said he will post new builds on Twitter.
MIUI has been my daily for about 3 months now. I was missing some aspects of HTC Sense so I gave Warm Z a try and it is a very nice ROM. The problem is MIUI's UI just blows everything out of the water and is soooooo smooth. It's hard to use anything else!
I'm with ya on that!

miui+tiamat 3.3.8 kernel is bombass. on top of that, i recommend the ilstonerules theme because its the most stable iphone theme. depends on what your into though. i used to be all about lp, but switchin it up every now and then is fun. miui is a great daily

Yeah! Wart, NIX, Wow all have decided to part ways with MarkHuk and the site but im sure they'll post them on this site... I also saw somewhere that they have a new site coming up. I think Warttack posted it, I went to it and it said coming soon! SOOOOOOOO lets hope for the best!
Ive been on this ROM forever now and have no means of switching. If worst comes to worst ill port it myself like i did with it when it 1st started. (its just time consuming)
Its a sad day when Devs cant get along and people have personal agendas that get placed in the negative light!

No problem...
Before I say anything, Devs please do not see this as a request or as demanding in ANY way. You all do fantastic work and really make this device shine. Anyways... I was wondering if anyone else wishes there was a Sense based port. With the DNA being so close relativity in specs, I am sort of surprised there has not been any talk of a port. This is simply to see who else would like to see a port and if there is any interest in one. I am absolutley not a developer and could not create a ROM to save my life, I'm just a lowly power user lol.
I would much rather have Sense 5(when it comes out) since it's newer and looks cleaner.
No way. Honestly, no offense but if you like Sense then you should have gotten an HTC device.
I also disagree about it being cleaner. Stock a android is just beautiful.

Sheesh. I was just asking if anyone else would like it. Honestly I would go nuts with any HTC phone, sense is just fun to play around with, not preferred over PA for example.

I would also like to see a sense rom, it would be cool to be able to have one phone that could run any ui. We already have Motorola blur, why not HTC sense, and touchwiz. If you don't like it you don't have to flash it. I love the nexus line of hardware and aosp, but for flashaholics like me, the more ROMs available the better off I am. I wish I could build ROMs but I don't even know where to start. I would definitely donate to any dev that could build a stable sense ROM.

Pretty sure you misinterpreted my post...I meant Sense 5 is cleaner than 4/4+, which is true after all.

I don't have the time to learn how to build ROMs. My wife stays on my case as it is, and all I do is flash a ROM and set it up the way I want it. I go to work to make money so I can pay someone to do all the things that I don't want to do and the things I don't know how to do. I have one set of skills and you probably have a different set of skills in your line of work. I don't know anybody who knows how to do everything. This is why I said that I would donate to a dev who comes up with a sense ROM.

I came from the HTC G2, the stock android version of the Desire Z (codename: Vision). Basically, in my opinion at least, any Sense ROM that was not a kang of a ROM shipped by HTC for the Vision has a bunch of bugs and oddities and things that just don't work nicely. And the Vision has one the best developers community that I have seen around. You still get CM 10.1 nightlies uover there even as the last update from HTC was GB back in 2010.
So... while I support having choices, thus would welcome any Sense ROM for the N4, I actually don't think it's a good idea to try.

I would like to try Sense 5. I wouldn't use it as my daily driver. But I'm definitely not opposed to having more options.
I bought this phone so that I could escape things like Sense and Touchwiz... It would seem counterproductive to me to put it on this phone?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Sense is a GIANT turd. It's the main reason I got rid of my One X+.
I found sense to actually be pretty good on the one x after ripping all the crap out. Heck I'd be happy just to have the sense camera. Half the people crying probably haven't even tried it.
