Hi all
So I have an interesting aesthetics / theme question. Here's the background: I have a S5 Dev Edition phone with TWRP. My first custom ROM was Team UBs 24jun version. I really liked the look of it (especially the small fonts and icons) but thought it was a bit unstable so I then installed the unofficial CM 10jun version. That worked well but some apps said they weren't compatible with it. So today I experimented with the new UB 13jul ROM. Unfortunately that wasn't too stable so I went back to the CM one. However after I reinstalled CM it looked quite different, with much larger icons and fonts.
Now in hindsight it looks like I didn't do a complete wipe in between UB and CM the first time around so CM must have picked up the system settings including fonts and icons that UB had installed. This time around after a full wipe CM installed its own defaults, which are much bigger. [I have CM on my Nexus 5 and it looks a lot more like that]. The apps that didn't work by the way do work now.
So my question to you all is do you know what UB's settings are for fonts and icons? I would like to replicate them under CM. Is there a theme setting that contains all of UB's presets?
I should also mention I have the full version of Nova launcher which I installed on CM, and UB had it as well. If it can be changed in Nova setting somewhere please let me now.
thx
PS - I tried to post this in the dev section under UB but it didn't let me, so posted it here.

Well, the easiest thing you could do is under nova launcher settings, go to look and feel, you can change the font and icon size there. I believe it only applies to launcher settings, so it won't change any of the system fonts or sizes. For those you just go to settings, display and there's a font section there... as far as I know themed roms occasionally change the DPI of the entire system, to give everything a cohesive feeling, but there are also a lot of things that need to also be modified when you change the DPI, so exactly copying the look of a particular ROM is not quite as simple as it sounds.
Hope this helps.
DPI question solved
Hi
So I figured out the best way to set the DPI is to download texdroider from the play store. It handles it across the board for the device and everything looks great. I set my DPI to 370 btw.
Thx

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s
Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).
Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?
I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk
last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo
If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Try This one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296266
Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help
PS : i ve also find a answer to one of my question
when use cm you must flsah the gapps separately and link is coming on cyanogen page.
I ve read also than the build for the S4 T-mobile seems to work fine on this phone more bugs corrected on it ?
No trying BT for the moment cauz i dont had BT device
@disturbed : i ll try the rom linked this evening . Thanks a lot
Hi all,
I currently have CM10.1.2 stable on my Nexus 4.
I know that the official 4.3 will be released soon and I would like to come back to stock rom, when it becomes available.
The main reasons I have CM instead of Stock are the possibility to:
1) customize tiles that are available in the quick setting
2) open quick setting with just a finger
3) set the vibration pattern for SMS (I use three long vibrations)
and ... stop!
I think these are really a few naive things .. is there an easy way to have such features on the stock ROM?
Thank you.
The first 2 features would be too hard but the third could be done quite easily if you are rooted. You can take the Mms.apk from cm and put it into the system/app directory of the stock rom.

Simple answer for 1 & 2 are no. These require complete framework re-writes. Make no mistake that making things like this are never easy.
Thank you.
So no way to customize the tiles in the quick setting?
What about this?

Hello Guys,
I can't post on the Development Thread yet, but I have been closing following development threads, they are been most helpful.
I wanted to to Thank you for all the Dev and Testers to coming of these wonderful Roms.
I'm not sure the issue I'm facing is due to usage ATT version of S4 but instead of locked boot-loader I'm not sure it is not working for me.
Issue:
Foxhound DarkTheme don't working properly when I tried with both 3.0 and 3.1 version. I see the headings is always remained with Stock look and partially cut from the bottom. This is evident in Setting screen and even the dialer setting and anywhere that heading is used. Dark them on dialer does not work either and remain stock.
I have tried complete full wife with delvik, cache, system, data and integrated storage.
Tried first going with stock Theme and then reflash Rom without wipe to Dark Theme.
Nothing works, I don't see why this is such a pain since the dark theme is working for many people on on a fresh flash after a full clean.
My differences are :
Using ATT version of I337 of S4
Using TWRP 2.6.3.0 to clean/format partitions and flash roms
I really appreciate any tips anyone could give me.
Thanks
Just want to jump in and say even Wireless Tethering does not work.
Just went ahead with Foxohound 2.0 Rom and all works great.
Dark UI Theme works everything aligned and PNGs are filled in.
Wifi Tethering works.
I'm kind of thinking 3.1 Rom has issues with compatibility on various S4 models including ATT variant.
I think as for beta testing for themes and UI modes it could be good test with different careers provisioned phones since their true model number is always different from what put in the build.props.
Hi all, as the subject states does anyone know of a custom rom (slimmed preferably) that has black system UI (toggles, settings, dialer etc) running 5.1.1 for the n910f?
Anyone, anyway possible?
I'd recommend SimplRom v5.
It has a built in themer called SimplTool- it lets you colour everything to whatever you want so I'm sure you could colour different elements to make a black theme of your liking!
Plus it's super fast and highly reliable!
Just read the thread a little as some people have had issues- also backup your apps using Titanium as your google apps may not re-download when you install the ROM (this happened to me but it's a minor bug and the ROM is more than worth it).
Enjoy!
Hope it helps!
For apps definitely try Team Black Out if you haven't heard of them...I LOVE to black out my phones....lol
Hey Developers,
So I was pretty excited to customize my k20 to make it look like it's mine but when I was checking out the themes. I noticed some things. Like Notification Bar Style, Icons nothing changes on applying any theme, notification design doesn't changes, status bar doesn't changes....etc. Even tried Nova Launcher, Pixel Launcher and many others but nothing happened. So literally I was messed up when I got a theme (Don't remembered the name) which atleast changed the notification bar. So what is the real cause there? Are there only limited number of themes to work well on MIUI 11 or what ?
Secondly I wanna know that how can I just get those fluid stock android 10 gestures on my phone. I know that MIUI 11 comes with full screen gestures but I never like it bcz of that sluggish animations. And atlast Is there any way to get stock android animations in Redmi K20 without installing any AOSP ? Basically What I wanna do is to make it just like Stock Android phone...
Thanks in Advance for any kind of help.
U must install a custom rom like havoc os on your device to get Android regular systemui ( like Pixel devices)

I wanna do that but I doesn't have any experience nor can I find a stable official rom for K20 to meet my daily requirements.
I will surely do that If I found a Youtube Video on installing the most stable pixel rom with review.
U can use this rom
I think its good for daily driver
