Hi everybody. Since long time I'm using the X-Note rom (I know it's no more here on xda). That rom has a wonderful theme for the entire UI that changes everything in AOSP style. I love it too much, because I don't like TW style. Since today I've never found a theme like that one that could be use on every TW rom.
is there anybody who knows if something like that exist? Or at least something similar?
Sorry. Immediately after writing that question I found VRTheme pureness and darkness. Sorry. You can close it

I have tried various ROMs and some of them are quite good. However for reasons not entirely clear to me, the authors of these ROMs, in addition to adding some much needed functional improvements, decide to blingify/theme their ROMs in such a way that there is no easy way to go back to Stock Samsung theme.
Some of us are just looking to add functionality and not looking to change the look.
Why don't the ROM authors provide a theme separately for their ROMs
I agree, I love all the tweaks and functionality, but I also like the look of the stock rom. Options for themes would be great.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Then just try a deodexed version of froyo...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I think its more wise to ask the devs if they wouldnt mind making a stock theme for you to add to thier rom....due to the fact that they build thier roms primarily to suite them and then share it with you...ever think of it that way?
not flaming you,i would love a stock 2.1 theme to go along with one of these well built 2.2-2.2.1 roms but you have to keep in mind this is work that takes them away from other finer things in life that they are'nt paid to do
there is a touchwiz theme for bionix
...and a TouchWiz theme for Trigger
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042282
It's completely relative. For me the Trigger theme is much cleaner (less bling) and better looking than the stock TouchWiz theme. Same for the stock Gingerbread theme that Bionix uses.
>Same for the stock Gingerbread theme that Bionix uses.
I would have been happy with stock Gingerbread theme on Bionix, if they did not take much liberties with it. Like making everything appear extra blue.
> there is a touchwiz theme for bionix
Thanks. I had hoped that something like this would exist. But did not find it earlier. From the screenshots, it looks good and I will most certainly give it a shot.
Most 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms around here already have a stock theme. Malice, Trigger, Bi-Winning to name a few. Others like Heathen's roms are actually built on an improved stock theme.
If you adore such a theme that much try requesting it from your rom's dev or simply jump ships to another rom that fits your eyes. Just don't go all kong foo on devs around here blaming them for what ain't even their fault. At least blame the one responsible, not generically on the whole community.
Hi guys,
Like many of you, I've tested lots of different ROMs. After all, that's the beauty of owning a Google Phone.
However, I can't seem to find ONE ROM that fits all my needs. I was wondering how many of you would like something like this:
- Stock-based
- MIUI notification bar toggles (Cyanogen's would also be fine though)
- Battery Percentage Icon
- Themable (AOSP)
- Compatible with most kernels out there (so that we can choose whichever we want)
- No copyrighted things from other devices (ie. ringtones, apps, etc.)
I've yet to find a ROM that suits all these needs. Cyanogen is not stable or smooth enough to my liking, when compared to the stock experience. MUIU is beautiful, but a bit heavy and not really optimized for SAMOLED (even the darker theme uses very little pure black). Most of the other ROMs don't have notification bar toggles. The ones that do are based on Cyanogen or MUIU, so it's not much different from using one or the other.
The closest ROM I've seen to this is Amethyst, but it's been discontinued by the developer, and it's a bit limited on the notification toggle options. Heck, MIUI is perfect with so many toggles all easily accessible from the notification bar.
Does anyone else feel that way? Maybe if enough people would be into this, perhaps a developer could feel it's worth doing something like that. Or am I alone in my wishes?
Regards!
I too have went through a ton of roms on this phone, and the one that i keep coming back too is the NSCollab series of roms (currently on 1.0.43). it has the stock launcher so it is really smooth and has the app drawer that i love, also has notification buttons and other settings from cyanogen. You can also flash the theme chooser to have a few different looks to the rom, but the best thing i have like about it is that its really stable and fluid
Zuluzulu might be what you are looking for. Its really cool looking and stable. The batterylife is incredible, and it is clockable to 1.4 ghz since it use the netarchy kernel.
CM even the latest RC 1 consumes all my battery in less than 24 hours.

You can flash the systemui.apk that I made over a stock rom and get the notification toggles and still be able to theme the phone but be ware if you flash a theme copy the drawables to your system ui or loose the toggles. Its in nexus a themes and apps

Ok guys, not depending what phone i had, but at least i had always an aosp or cm on it running, cause i like it clean ...
BUT i really would love to use Samsungs Camera and some other apps from them, BUT since 2 weeks i'm just flashing around cause every Samy based ROM seems completely overloaded with to many "stuff" and tweaks, or am i just aosp sick?
I just looking for:
-Samy based ROM
-NO theme or at least a clean ones
-Not hundreds of included options
-removed bload like knox and so on
-ability to change the dpi to 360 or 420
I know, i should trying around, but maybe someone can give me a lite "claps" to the perfect ROM for me

The rom by rayman.
Get it at android Dev. That's the slimmest tw.
I remember a few years back a Dev in the HTC forums managed to strip all Sense UI parts from the ROM leaving just the Camera running on the original framework. He then put in all AOSP counterparts including the SystemUI, so everything looked and pretty much was AOSP, but you also got the Sense Camera. I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like that or had any ideas if that could be be accomplished on the S5 as I love the S5 Camera and battery life but prefer the AOSP apps.
I know it could partly be achieved with debloating and theming, but wonder if there was a cleaner way of doing it?
Would like to see something happen on this front. I allways custom after unboxing and now realising im missing quite a bit without original stock cam.
Been playing around with my OP2 for a while now, trying different roms and themes, but I've kinda grown tired of the stock android look; I love the customisation of it, but it doesn't feel all that exciting/different to look at any more, like Emotion UI or MIMU 8 is.
So what's your favourite pretty rom? Got any recommendations?
Well, if you're talking about looks only then MiUi would be one of the best looking roms.
And it works well with OP2.
I personally like the stock rom and if I ever feel like I need something new, I just install a launcher for a few days...
like action or themer.
