Afternoon all,
Ive cooked up a nice little set up now on my Note 3 and getting good battery life I think and have a little bit of the S5 theme ( icons,settings and drop down menu) going. . .hoping a full system UI S5 theme gets released soon for the Note 3 as I really like the colours etc.
I was wondering if theres a themer around that allows theming the whole system framework etc??
Also were wud i get themes from?
Thank you all.

As my thread has been locked in the development section and the moderator hasnt answered my PM i thought i'd post here a little update as how the rom is progressing/looking.
As you can see most of the theming is done, still need a few tweaks to really get rid of all that samsung blue and also theme the messaging, dialer and contacts. Currently working on a very extended Power menu with a lot more functions than the standard reboot, recovery and download. Also you'll notice 11 scrollable toggles along the top of the pull down menu which when long pressed launches the individual settings menu of that toggle.
Cheers for looking and after adding the usual darkys ram hacks, tweaks n mods we should soon be ready for a release.

big,big,big!!!
im glad to saay epiiiiiiiiiiiiic, thats sick soo sick, looking forward to it, one thing though i guess if you can make a seprate theme flashable via CWM, total Black Will Be Cool as well, im not a fan of green actually, but like your roms, also will you make it 240 dpi, clear widgets etc..
Extended powermenu done, moved tabs in contacts etc to the bottom as I personally find it easier on a big phone lol, transparent dialer, little more themeing then will be posting up the rom

Rom is based on kka I've found it to be more stable to be honest

nice....I am also working on lidroid statusbar right now and will finish soon
I am really interested in your Extended Menu you are talking about
call recording feature
can you please give thought to including call recording functionality via proper kernel for this rom and the mod itself baked in would be much appreciated.
sincerely appreciate all that you guys do!
We will be releasing a beta rom to begin with can't believe its taking so long to upload ffs lol.. all stock apps are left in for now etc and our darky tweaks and hacks.
The people that choose to download and test it we'd love feedback and then will begin taking requests for addons and modifications. Future builds will include the popular ones whereas all the updates will be available as flashable seperates. The rom isnt completely finished looks wise but its as close as we can get it to be able to release quick a stable rom that you can use everyday while we continue to finish it to.the usual darky standard.
Promise the release will be here within 24 hours

You can basically do everything from the toggles in the powermenu instead plus a few extras.. got it working on the s1 but having a little difficulty porting it to.the note

First testing of the rom going well.. had a slight problem with some s2 apps in there fecking up the note Widgets (that'll teach us to blind mod lol)
Well its running quick and smooth.. no noticeable lag.
Just currently uploading the last RC version make sure this one installs smoothly this time and if so will be uploading it here for u all to test.

Ok sounds good, some may think it look good order may think otherwise (for the green), that is all matter of personnal preference, BUT for our nice screen and the life of it led could you please make a version without green but blue for ex.
Because it will really more quickly have a "kind of burning effects" on our screen to have static green spot (the green and red life / best result for led is shorter than for the blue led for ex.)
Else contact and other tweaks looks promising (maybe port also from SGS some optionnal/customizable good lockscreen)
looks awesome
We've always had a green theme for the darkyrom so that will stick but our visual modders are working hard getting the darkyota app working on the note so complete vusual customisation will be available to you. Also just as a side note most professionals agree that its actually blue that causes most damage (there is a lengthy thread on this in our forums) though you would have to have the phone on 24 hours a day for nearly 4 years before you would notice anything on sansungs amoled screens

Theme Chooser importance
Im asking three questions.
If you want you can give reasons why after you answer the questions.
1.On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does Theme Chooser mean to you?
2.If you flash a rom and it doesnt have this feature would you flash one that does?
3.Is higher benchmarks worth not have Theme chooser?
Please follow this format/after that your free to elaborate at the bottom.
Let me start with my answer.
1. 10
2. I would find one that has it.
3. No.
Explain: I can live with having the speed of most roms but i like to change up the look of my phone on the fly.
Ex: One day i may want Blue the next i may want Red/white/green whatever.
I don't even use it, I prefer the look of stock Jb.
1. 8 (I rate 8, coz I like themes to be included in android, which I loved on Nokia symbian devices. But I do like minimal) Cool to have it as part of customization.
2. If that's not available in Stock latest version of android then so be it. (I also prefer stock as much as possible)
3. Stability, Fast and Battery performance is on my top priority.
1. 6
2. It's OK. I rarely use a theme
3. Stability, battery life and speed rank way above theme for me.

1. 4
2. I would get a rom that I like even if it doesn't have theme chooser
3. To be honest, I would prefer stability and battery life over both

1. 7
2. Yes
3. No
I love the concept of theme chooser. I would gladly give it 10 if only I could download a theme. Pretty much ever good theme costs money and I don't have a credit card nor can I get Google play cards sooooo I can never ever try them.

I will rate 9 because i'm quite of angry about the uglyness of many stuff on Google Stock ROM.
Like the clock, just a poor circle or the battery, which we cannot guess easily how many %, or just the interface, too much thin, no modern, etc...
I love Artic Blue, but seens i have bought my Nexus 4, i cannot put it.
I do not want to flash CWM 10.1 because it's now pointless as Google Stock ROM is the same.
I'd just like an easy way to have T-Mobile Theme Chooser to be able to apply any theme i like.
Otherwise i'm happy with global performance, no bug issue, except the LED will never turn on unless using LightFlow... Which is a shame to have a Multicolor LED without any way on the basic system from Google to exploit it !!
So to answer your question, for me theming is extremely important as Default one are always ugly.
1. 0
2. No
3. Don't give a sh¡t about benchmarks.
I like modding my system ui by myself. I can then create my theme my self without theme chooser. I wouldn't recommend this if you don't know how to use Photoshop.

I like theme chooser. What I'd love is to be able to add it to a stock build without having to flash a ROM that uses it but I've not ever seen instructions for doing so. I don't know if it's even possible.
1.10
2.yes
3.benchmarks are overrated
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
1. 2/10
2. No
3. No

yes
no, benchmarks are nice pissing contests but much much more
Hey all!
I like my G2 and I like where the development for this phone is going!
We all like too custom roms, custom kernels and tweaking/modding.
However, I can see there's a lot of aspects of this phone that has not been tweaked, modified, played with etc...
Mainly I can think of:
1-Quickwindow enhancements:
Maybe make it show more widgets, make it show all notifications (maybe the notification bar), can assign actions to cover flip on and off, etc... I a sure our great developers can look into it.
2-Qslide apps
As you know, Qslide apps are limited to little number of apps. I think this can be exploited somehow to be able to run any app in that mode!
3-You can think of anything else besides rom and kernel!
Sorry for mentioning you our great developers (between other of course) but I would like this issue to be looked at, at least.
@Wootever, @houstonn, @StarFighter, @[vertigo], @g.lewarne, @Heatshiver, @xdabbeb, @BlackDino, @rohan32, @Gerrett, etc...
Thanks all!
i did start a thread about dual booting roms as i previously had that on my samsung s2 and really miss having my daily driver rom on all day n simply switch to test rom when needed or have time to find bugs/test
we have a good amount of devs but yes development is kind of slow, probably due to kitkat or whatever reason
for now stock rom with a lil tweaking is working good for me having all features available with no problems, still miss taking part in helping devs test stuff out
A dark/white theme rom would be great. I know that LG G2 is already mostly white but it be really nice to have that type of color scheme.

Quick Question
Do you think Samsung would provide a major UI overhaul over 4.4 KitKat update due January?
Maybe reduce on the comic styled blocks and chop it down to more mnmlstic style designs and reduce strain on RAM and other features to improve batt life and reduce heat generated on gaming and other functions.
I really want to downgrade from MJ4 to MJ1 but unfortunately, I don't think it will ever be possible. Thus I am looking for bigger and better thing's in the future to ease my pain of these destructive OTA updates.
No.
Bigger and better things: Cm just released sources.
Goodbye tw
Samsung is and will try to not make any major changes to the UI so users become accustomed to and and aren't thrown off by updates and get used to Samsung products. Its ment for the "average" user and generally no anyone on these fourms.

Hopefully they at least update the icons. I'm using Nova with the 4.4 icons enabled and it's so much sleeker.
for my opion TW isn't that bad except for the statusbar and Dropdown menu!! those could be a bit more sexy!!! like sony or something!

You can change icons on tw with unicon on Google play
They won't ever make it look like aosp because they want thier own look. Plus with tizen os which looks just like tw

hahaha true that. Most likely I will just go custom.
I am looking forward to what devs would do for the S Pen features which will be lost if flashing AOSP ROMs.

Developer won't do anything for spen on aosp because it should still work like normal. You just need to look for similar apps on play store to replace whatever function you want.

I was using note 3 running 4.4.2 and there was s a big time problem attaching music files in whats app etc... And other apps as well... I searched net and there is list of forums saying the problem is with android version not samsung etc etc.... Surprisingly ever since i got m8 there s no problem as such even in whats app the music files are attached in one go and ease also unlike samsung the widgets do not freeze...
Though i do miss full screen weather effects like old sense ....
Its amazing ...just wanted to share my view..m sure loads of ppl who shifted from samsung would have noticed this....

For the full screen weather animations from sense 4 you can install viper rom. They have ported them to sense 6!
