Vanilla UI on R800i?

Is there any way of putting the stock vanilla UI seen on the Verizon models on the R800i GSM models?
Thanks in advance

Yeah all you need to do is download launcher2.apk (Stock google launcher). I did a quick google search and found the gingerbread version in a SGS II Vanilla rom. When i download it, i will upload it here. You will need root and insecure ADB to install it though. As you have to push it to /system/app/ before it will work

You can download Gingebread Launcher from the Market, it's free and it's actually the stock launcher.

Logseman's idea sounds best to me. But if you still want it here is the .apk.
To install just fire up ADB and type in:
adb remount
adb push launcher2.apk /system/app
adb reboot

So this will completely replace the Timescape UI with the stock vanilla google UI like on the R800x models?

No you can install as many launchers as you want. The OS will ask you to pick a default one. It will then freeze the rest, you can easly use another launcher by finding your current default one in manage applictions. And tapping on "clear defaults". next time you press the home button. The OS will ask you to pick another default launcher

OMG you guys are champions!
I downloaded Android 2.3 Launcher and its exactly like my Nexus S 2.3.4!
Thanks heaps guys your all awesome!!

Thanks for the reply fiskenigaten.
But i was actually wondering of integrating it with the rom itself.
you know what i mean ?
There should be no miui launcher left!!
thanks.

Just set it as default when you install it. Then you'll never see miui launcher ever again.
Or if you want to take it to the extreme, you can use titanium backup to fully remove miui launcher after you've installed launcher pro. But honestly I don't recommend it. Just stick with the first solution bud

If u decide not to keep miui don't move launcher pro to SD. . Or use a root explorer and move /data/app/ launcher pro (I think its a different name but same icon) to /system/app and long press it, hit "permissions" and unchecked all 3 on the 3rd row, and the 3rd one on the second row. Save. Reboot.

Titanium backup pro has the option to integrate into the rom, just find launcher pro and long press and you will see it. I do this all the time with go launcher it lets you still do a factory reset safely, whereas it would disappear and you would have no launcher if you didn't D:

install launcher pro... select as default after pressing home button...
use a root enabled file explorer e.g. root explorer...
navigate to & mount system/app/
rename Miuihome.apk (think that's its name) to Miuihome.bak...
done ^^ no more Miuihome.apk a.k.a MIUI stock launcher :highfive:

ZE552KL WW_14.2020.1703 update disable theme, need earlier SystemUI

Seems like theming is no longer possible on WW_14.2020.1703. All themes can't be downloaded, instead, it sends 'waiting' message that seems to last forever. Anyone experiencing this? If by any chance. SystemUI apk from earlier version of android N could be shared, preferably from 1701, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to go back to a theme that brings me closest to stock android quick setting appearance.

If you have rooted, just disable themes app, change the apk in system with an older version released at the end of last year, enable and wipe data. If app crashes, wipe theme app data, disable, reboot and enable.

I also tried to install compatible themes (according to developers description from Playstore) with Asus launcher but no luck. I don't have root. Is there another method without root access ?
I like Asus launcher but i hate his icons/notifications

Icon packs does a better job for that. You don't need themes. I prefer icon pqcks from Sourabh Gupta. He updates icons frequently and all his icon packs has 5700+ icons. His latest Android O Icon Pack is pretty awesome. It is paid though.

I'm afraid that's not possible without root unless Asus re-enable the option in future update. I think the transparency of quick setting might cause issue(s) with currently available themes. And you're right, quick setting with the rounded toggles and notifs, especially in lock screen, are painfully ugly.

Hi guys, there's a fresh post https://www.xda-developers.com/downgrade-an-app-android-no-root/ , anyone has successfully downgraded to earlier version of zenui with third party theme support?

3. Make any rom backup you feel you need to.
4. FIRST... Format Data and reboot recovery.
5.After reboot of recovery..Wipe Dalvik and Art Cache,Wipe System,Wipe Data,Wipe Cache and Internal Storage unless you have things stored there you want to save,it's not a must to wipe internal storage.
6. Flash rom.
7. Reboot.
First boot takes a few minutes.

Anyone wanting to use this Rom as base for their carrier and build or just want to use a few files can. I don't care about credit. Use what you feel you need. No issues from me. As for work not mine. Please do give credit to those mentioned above. Thanks.

Bad ass and thanks, Curtis! Been using your Roms since the zte awe n800 - back in the androidforums days.

I have a small update coming which incorperates all of the s8 nougat icons for systemui. But want to hold off posting it until I sort out adding edge support. Also what I hope is a full weather fix. You will notice the launcher lags when changing rows/columns for the app drawer. Just swipe from right edge to center and change will take effect.

Hello,if you dont care about credits and have the files ready,can you send me the UI with nougat icons and symbols in sb so i can port/mod to make it work on our DUX ROM for J320F?

Use what you wish. But I will leave the foot work to you. Its not difficult to extract needed items from the system.

WiFi works fine for me. I'm going to upload version 2 with fixes for gallery crash,calendar crash along with new ui and weather app. I have not modified WiFi related apps at all. Are you sure you were on J327PVPU1AQF4 rom build and not a lower or higher version?

I think I have a good idea why Wifi isnt working. The magisk built boot kernel. Magisk has proven to be more of a problem than a benefit. Update will not include magisk.

Rom updated with dream UX SystemUI,settings framework icons,etc..removed magisk. Causing more problems than its worth. Only bugs left are some lag in how Launcher readings icons after picking grid sizes for apps screen. A quick swipe from right edge to the left takes care of it. And weather bug.

Thanks Curtis! Will try this out this weekend and shall report back - looks good

New rom on the way. HTC Flashback Rom. Check screens below. I will be decompiling the HTC apps to resemble old school sense to match the Samsung theme being used. As of now the rom runs with NO app bugs. All but Samsung contacts,messaging,and main settings/systemui have been replaced. Will post. She's sense in every way except core touchwiz.

Can you share screens of new UI?

Sure.
Only UI difference really is subtle icon changes in systemui and settings apk made by Samsung. Nothing to write home about

I dont know why,i also replaced icons on my UI but then it keeps crashing...

When replacing the icons be sure only to include those that match those in your roms systemui and settings2 apk files. If only one qmg,spr,etc is in the apk that does not belong there,it will either give a parsing error,not even show in app,drawer or installed apps,or force close
Do not replace any of the xml files. Luckily for our device these two apks can be extracted like a zip,modify the icons then recipe,rename apk. Others need decompiling and recompiling or you'll get the errors above. Your device files may or may not extract the same as ours do.

[TW][ROM] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Touchwiz rom

Hi all,this rom is made and tested for Tab 2 7.0 P3110 (it should work for P3113). This rom is NOT TOUCHWIZ BASED that means you cannot download any Touchwiz app and it would work in this rom. It have some ported TW apps and they work. Rom is builded with Nightly CM11 and it work really fast. I would try to update it and port more TW apps on it. If someone know how to port old TW apps please reply.
How to install:
1.Install TWRP or CWM recovery
2. Always made backup
3.Wipe data,system,davlik and cache
4. Flash zip file
5.reboot to rom
Important:
1.In themes Select S5 TW theme (for now need that way but i would edit apps to look like TW wthoud theme)
2.This rome have sound booster
3. This rom doesent have GAPPS, i would provide a link to download them, but for Kitkat it just slow device​4. This rom uses a CM11 stock kernel moded to run TW frameworks.
Rom: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W-U8SlKBSF9rlQXDxt5UV0erU0Q4LtnO/view?usp=sharing
Gapps: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397890528
Kernel source: https://github.com/An2rejKK/Tab-2-7.0-4.4-TW-rom-Kernel-source

screenshots? also you should post this in the development forum
