Ok, so this is not only for Viper users, this is for everyone, on any ROM. Please don't post things like "working gps" because the devs can't do anything right now. But what features would you like in a ROM? ...This will give us an idea for updates... if something is needed by enough people, I'm sure everyon
e will incorporate it into their ROMs...
And the rest is up to you.....
I love the VIPERrom 3.0.3. Things about it- stability, speed (I think), custom launcher (zeam launcher). I'd like a cool notif bar. I'm currently using emotionless beast from Mystery. But the 3.0.3 was cool too. To each his own, but I like the colors and such in my themes. And lightweight (keep the bloatware to a minimum).
Keep up the good work Viper team. I tried Apocalypse 4.0.2c for a couple days but went back to trinity 3.0.3. Had a couple problems that I was too lazy to work through. All my fault. I'll go back to 4.0.2c soon.
I look for a rom that cuts as much crap out that I don't need and incorporates as much stuff that I do. This isn't always possible because of individual tastes, but some cookers are better(for me) than others. I also look at theming, which needs to look professional, for me to consider it.

A working gps
Seriously I'm looking for something fast, stable, functionality, good battery life. Obviously looks mean nothing to me. A small foot print on internal memory is good also

I dont know about everyone else but im tired of TWLauncher, Launcher pro, Zeam launcher, Launcher EX. I wish there was a stable, fast but Unique Launcher that has a layout, Transitions, icons different then what we are use too. Honestly i have no clue what "Unique" that im talking about but there are tons of genius minds in here that im sure will come up with some New and Different from what we are use to in all of these launchers that will give our Phone a NEW Look. Thanks alot Viper Team you all are awesome

+1 I would also like a unique launcher. Maybe something similar to Miui.

I want support for RFS. Seems almost everyone is making the switch to EXT4 but luckily there are a few that still support those of us using RFS! Other than that I like having Touchwiz stripped out. I always wanted it before but after using Midnight Rom I just don't want it anymore. I bought ADW EX and that's the way for me to go!
Although I'm not running ViperROM, I love the idea behind the viperstore. Regardless of what ROM thread you're in, you see people asking for AOSP lockscreens, themes, certain APK's, etc. I think that with the relatively small community of devoted developers for the epic, there could be a common repository for people to go to for their personalization needs.
Just food for thought. Keep up the good work on ViperROM!

I want my device to be classy with simple elegance. I dont want annoying boot sounds and shutdown sounds, or theming which advertises the name of the rom. I want a rom that is rock solid stable, ie no DK28. I want touchwiz ripped out and no launcher included. I should not have to uninstall anything from a fresh rom install, especially various launchers.
CIFS support for mounting network folders.
Increase network speeds on 3g, becaue data government killer just not doing it for me.

+1 for this.
In addition..
No Launcher (or a very unique one like what was mentioned earlier)
no sprint bloatware.
minimal memory footprint.
Great battery life.
Somehow increased speeds for the data cuz for me the governor killer isn't doing much either.
no annoying startup/shutdown sounds (could be muted)
Slick but professional theming.
No more bubble SMS
stock battery icon. (seems like all the circle ones ping the battery info too often and it kills my battery. Like dropping 25% overnight doing nothing with no widgets installed whatsoever.)
I'm tired of repackaged Roms that just have a different theme and maybe one or two things taken out or added in that I could do myself.
I like a clean slate rom like Naked Bonsai and add the themes and addons myself. I like Midnight just because they got rid of touchwiz. I wish ViperROM would not come with all the themes built in. Undervolting and unique features are nice as well.
So basically, I want clean and stable with themes belonging in the theme section and a nice bunch of addons. I honestly doubt we're gonna be having many unique Roms till kernel source comes out though

I agree about ViperROM theming. I would prefer more of a blank slate. But the developer is free to make their rom however they want. I just have to not complain and change it myself
I just want a stock rom. No custom launcher, no sprint apps, no touchwiz, just stock. Maybe overclocked to 1.2ghz, but stock and built in tethering support (doesn't have to wifi, I can deal with usb) cause paying extra for the same data is bull****.
You want a clean slate,wait till you see Frankenstien FROYO tomorrow night,its 93mb zipped right now,and I'm still working on it,but it is very stable from the start,I'm very excited to be releasing this...

I would like it to be easier to see what I'm getting before I download a new rom. Seems like there are a lot of cases where if you weren't using a rom from the start it's kinda hard to track down all it's features and what it's like.
CalamitySir and I are gonna make a CM7 theme! We are going to try our best in theming the icons based on Cyanbread so that it would look good on the Desire and other phones with WVGA resolution and above. Yes i know i am not gonna win those popular themes like LunarUI and others but i hope that you guys would give us your support so that we would do our very best!
I would be doing the coding for the APK while CalamitySir would be doing the theming of the icons. I don't mind u guys using this for your other mobile devices running CM7 but I am only making it usable on HDPI and it would most probably look good on our Desire (I am not saying that it won't look good on other devices )
So we need suggestions coming from you guys like what features do you guys want to see on our device, for eg. Transparent or Translucent framework, middle-clock, icons for the different apps or maybe even stuffs i have not know of yet! Just tell me in the comments below and i will try to implement as much features of the themes u guys want into the theme!
Also I have already decided to make the edge glow bright orange! maybe i would be releasing other coloured versions too but that would come later! And I would not be doing ICS style as you all know there is a little way too much ICS themes for CM7 or any launcher like LPP or ADW, so therefore i do not wish to compete with them and then lose out in the end saying that we just copied them or anything...anyway we don't want that to happen so we might as well just do something like LunarUI which is based on original and stuffs like that!
So I would like to hear from you guys soon!
I just don't like the new "material" design. It looks ugly to me but I'd like the new power and speed of Trusted Face and other features so how can I modify it to look like kitkat?
Is there a icon pack currently available?

"Icon Pack" won't change Material design to Holo.

Sorry phrased that wrong I know an icon pack won't change the theme. I don't think anyone even has added the necessary theming engine yet but I meant like the dialer icon is very ugly. What would be your recommended way to change it apart from editing the actual package?
I really prefer Holo too.........not sure we will be able to change it in future :/ the navbar buttons are super ugly too
I just want the good old dark background... But I'm taking anything even pure black, over annoying white

Depending on what rom your on you can try cm12 and just put on a kitkat theme.

Cm 12 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-build-mako-t2936332)

Good luck
Disappointed in Android design
I also much prefer the KitKat "holo" look. Lollipop looks too light and pastel and IOS7-ish.
I don't know anything about Android but have been involved in software development for many years. It sounds like the appearance of Android is "hard coded". Is this correct? I really expected the concept of skins that separated form from function.
Actually the theme is not hardcoded, there are ways to edit a theme but that differs from app to app so its painstaking recompiling all the system packages and signing them to work with *your device name here*
If you messed up framework you're f&$%'d

Any further info on this?
I relly want to dig old thing, because maybe someone know solution. My favourite android look was on andro 4.3. Also i like old GB look.
“Material design” is painfully disgusting ;(
Either you are using stock 4.3.3 or CM 12.1 or 13 (as CM Theme Engine is really powerful), share the name of theme you are using and if possible share link from where you have downloaded. No warez links please.
Screenshots of home-screen would be highly appreciated. :laugh:
I use Levo by Pixkart (CM12 theme)
It is not a theme, to be exact, but it is an app to generate a theme, from which you can manually choose colours for different apps! It is the most customisable CMTE theme i can find so far, and I really recommend you to use it!
Sadly though, the development is on hiatus and on a slow pace because the developer had an accident. But he really did teased a screen shot of the upcoming Levo that would completely support CM13 theme engines! I can't wait for it
Oh yeah and I have to say although the theme works fine on CM13, it would still give some minor problems to your CM13 experience. One problem i find so far is the Accounts section in Settings crashing.. Other than that it still excels very well!
It is kind of expensive if you ask me, but hey it is quite a masterpiece for me and you should definitely try it! If it is boring, or not worth your money, you can always get a refund immediately after purchase
Also i can't give any screen shot because i am not currently using the theme. But still, that is because of my lust for ultimate stability. Nah jk, actually i kind of quite often go to the Accounts section, so having the Settings crashing isnt really fun.. So i have to adapt to the boring stock theme until the new Levo pops out on my Play Store update notification
Another creation of the same person is named as Prozt. Although it is not as customisable as Levo, it is also customisable to some extent too. You might want to check it out too
I use my Xperia Z5 theme and Xperia X for CM12 and CM13

First off I just want say I love the ability to theme androids and there are some awesome themes out there. But it seems like not matter how I apply themes CM theme changer, Layers, Substratum, etc that they affect the performance of my phone. I'm not saying it's terrible but I always seem to get more stutters and micro lag while running themes. It isn't terrible and not really enough for me to not run themes but if I revert back to the stock them it seems a lot of this goes away and the phone seems to perform better. Has anyone else noticed this or is it all in my head?

I have no noticeable theme lag on dirty unicorns. I don't lean towards heavy themes though
