[Q] theme touchwiz? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I normally use CM because I am all about having my phone themed. But due to wanting to use some of the Samsung apps like fingerprint scanner I have to use a touchwiz based rom.
I normally have my phone like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My question is how would I go about themeing a touchwiz rom? is there a way to use CM themes on it? I read this post
http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/theme-touchwiz-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-0157525/
and want to know can I put a CM theme in the theme.zip and have it working?
and if not (I'm sure it wont work) how would I go about themeing everything?

Give AllianceRom by @Goldie a try, tons of themes, huge amount of options, there are even cm style themes. If you think cm had Alot of choices, this has as Many or more.
And if it's not enough, you can always do the hard work of themeing your self.
No you can't use cm zip theme in a tw rom.

Thanks started using this rom, did a little theming with the settings it has, you said I could make my own, do you mean I could theme like CM where I could theme other apps also like the play store youtube ext? I'm trying to find some tutorials on theming everything and so far only found theming the dialer.

I use these and they are very good, I was also just saying you would have to learn to theme on your own if Aliance is not enough. Glad you like Alliance. Make sure you read Alliance op carefully as you have to place things correctly to get proper results.

Thanks to nygas20007
Confirmed working on Froyo FRF72 & FRF83
Download > MediaFire
Thanks, worked a treat.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
The Galaxy S intrigues me but I've never been that much of a fan of Samsung, Might give this ago.
Downloading now
EDIT: Working Perfectly on Froyo72 will run it for today
Ehi guy.
Have someone tried this mod on a MCR 3.1?
Thank
Tried it for a few minutes, I really liked the app-drawer but not the Homescreen. Restoring now...
Why dont like?
And how you can restore the sense launcher?
Just by the phone?

Because if you put some widgets on it it becomes slow, not like LauncherPro. I don't have sense i'm on Froyo (Defrost 1.4). I restored with it with Rom-Manager.

Why?
Wouldn't be easier just uninstall it?
and I think this thread should be in Themes and App. Clearly it's not a ROM development
edit: sorry cTrox, i've just checked that zip file, my bad.
If i want test it on my custom rom based on sense, after how can i restore the sense?
do a nandroid backup (in recovery mode) before flashing this, and restore that very backup if you want to go back.
Works fine, and now we need the widgets
I have been running it for a day, but I get a fc in all the browsers, is anyone getting the same problem ?
Can someone post some more screens?
Seems pretty good, but I would rather just see some more screens than reinstalling my rom etc.

Or just do a nandoroid backup before installing it =)
I actually get FC's in browser on certain websites. Thought it as rom-problem, but perhaps not.
Here is my homescreen ect running this launcher...

Hey guys have to say love the color scheme for Samsung Galaxy s!!
But is there a way to get it for Desire? I mean launcher etc or just the color overlay ?..
A port or something?
You can download the Galaxy S Touchwiz launcher, and there are Galaxy S themes available. They only work on selected roms, but search Gala S and have a look

I sort of thrown my own rom together using Defrost as a base. It's Galaxy S styled *sort of*.
ephumuris said:
As much as i love this rom i have made some modifications It's a great base for making something nice. It's a kind of Galaxy S thing.
I took Defrost 2.5a.
Removed Launcher2.apk and replaced with touchwiz launcher.
Added Galaxy S framework from theme section here.
Removed music.apk and replaced with modified music.apk.
Removed sms app and replaced with dark themed cyanogen type app.
Added standard hosts file.
Added Dark Tremor a2sd.
Removed a few apps.

This actually looks amazing. Does the rom include the Defrost setup app to download the ocuv or is it preinstalled?
Sent from my HTC Desire upside-down
Defrost setup is already included as it is part of the base rom. Rom is just the standard 1ghz so you need to download the UVOC of your choice.

Help me decide on a ROM

I'm trying to find a fast stable ROM avoiding nightlies that has good battery. My go to ROM is usually AOKP but on the N7 I like the idea of PIE and Halo. Currently running PA 3.99 and it seem like a very solid ROM and I'm extremely happy with it, but I miss some of the AOKP features like battery bar, transparencies, lockscreen etc.
I'm not really into changing the DPI values, I want AOKP with PIE/Halo. I'm trying to decide between Carbon or PACMAN but they both have nightlies and don't really have stable/RC.
Any recommendations?
3 things...
1) Try not to ask for rom recommendations. It is only a little less better than asking for the "best" rom...and it also makes you seem a bit lazy. This tablet is a beast, and flashes roms in no time. I can flash and test briefly all of the flo roms listed on XDA in 2 days, tops. And usually, when I try new roms, I touch and go.
2) Just because roms have nightlies, it certainly does not mean that they are any less stable. It is nothing more than the devs pushing put their daily progress. In a nutshell, the devs release nightlies based from their most stable build. Tomorrow's nightly might have better RAM usage than today's nightly, and they allow you to flash instead of waiting days/weeks. It is up to the dev team to make that decision. Go ahead and try using any of the two roms for yourself, and you'll see what I mean. If you run into a problem, simply report it. Don't be afraid of bugs.
3) You really should look into learning more about DPIs. Using one general DPI for the entire system might not give you the best resolution for each app. I use Xposed Framework (along with most of the people here), and I change my DPIs on the fly by putting the App Settings into Sidebar (last app on left of screenshot).

The biggest point of this post is to try them both for yourself. Read the OP in the different threads to see if they have any bugs listed. Most don't.

[Q] Pushing Note 3 to the limits...

Hello world,
at first, spoiler - this will be newbie-styled post, so please, I am so sorry, if I will be talking shi*s...
I am using my Note 3 for months and I think it's time to push it to the limits; why ? With my Note 3 I do not feel I have a flagship...
What is my goal ? Beside learning things about root, custom kernel and ROM ? Pushing my Note in to the limits, of course.
Now, can I ask someone really really helpful to offer me a help or step-to-step guide for rooting, installing custom kernel and custom rom.
I know, that there can be some incompatibility between custom kernel and custom rom, so I will link here both of them and please, tell me, if they will cooperate or not.

I dont know how custom roms but I rooted my n9005 using cf root

I want GUI in the iOS7 style...means replace that ugly samsung black/blue/green colors with white, pink, blue
then control center in transparent style and switches will have black border and black text - just like:
for example I really like ios7 skin for poweramp and I would like to see it in the whole gui
then OC my gpu (to gain tiny performance boost in the 3D apps), make interface responssive with no lags at all and I will be really really satisfied
any ideas?
