i personally like lucid, frost, tangerine, monochrome, and bliss (so pretty much all of them)
take it for what its worth, if you like it and have some time, we can never have too many options.
Those are excellent themes! All of them look great, I really like bliss the best. Like you said cant have too many options!!

good stuff man, looks good
to all the devs first of all thank you for your hard work. i know it takes time and time to build a nice not buggy rom and kernel,
and i know its hard cause of the lack of the wifi drivers and not having s-off, and i appreciate on staying with the amaze and not given up.
i know there are not many devs and i know working together can do more.
i was wondering if are there any thoughts on working on others roms
i know x been working on ics,
is it possible to port MIUI rom with miui camera in it not like the sensation that have the stock gb camera or CM like rom with the theme chooser apk
i heard before that it is easy to port roms from another htc android device i dont know i am not a dev you tell me. maybe not cause of the lack of s-off
i know if your thinking if i didnt like sense get another, but i do love sense but do like others ui like stock or miui base
and look at this rom for ICS looks cool

If you want it to look cool like ICS
-get adw launcher ex, download the ICS theme
-download widget locket and pick the ICS unlocker, and set the background of the clock to invisible
-download exdialer or exContacts and get the ICS theme

no offence to the OP but such kind of posts are stupid. Do you think the devs havent thought about it before you? you admit it you know nothing about roms and kernels but still you put yourself in the position of suggesting devs what according to you looks better. as seansk said just install couple of apps and make it look like the ones in the link you showed+that miui style is boring stressing iphone like stuff. just buy yourself an iphone 4 and you will be fine

yes i know the devs prolly thought about this, this is just a reminder in fack this message was for devs there is no business here for you,
if i wanted an iphone i would had stayed with it,
and i just suggested that cause its nice having difference roms not just sense
and i know the time it takes to build one.

u mean the dev I suppose? cuz I do not see any devs here other then Xboarder
p.s there is business for me wherever I want mister gipsy from texas
I wouldn't say this is at all a stupid thread. It lets xboarder know that there are lots of people that are looking forward to something else. As for rom developement, its tough because x is really the only person here who knows how to work with source code. A couple others are learning but it just takes time. O and superstar just picked up an amaze so hopefully he will jump in and help! He has an ics build on the hd2!
I would totally love miui as well but know X is really the only main dev here.
Also love when people just ask simple questions and get fired at like they are a moron I bet other people that know a lot were once noobs too.
I guess that's the way xda is and has become its sad that people have to be afraid to post a question or a topic.
Yes I agree search first but damn we all aren't geniuses

I just picked up my tablet the other day. The one on display in Best Buy had blue icons on the bottom for the back, home, screenshot buttons, but when I got it home, they were grey. Doing some looking I learned the blue went away with the 3.2 update. I came here to see how to change them back, but I'm still not sure. I've seen thread about themes and ROMs that both have the icons I'm after. My question is, which am I after, a ROM or a theme? I'm already rooted so a ROM isn't a problem, I just don't wan to if I don't have to. I bought ADW Launcher Ex thinking it was in there from some of the threads I read, did I miss it?
A push in the right direction would be appreciated.

the ones in best buy don't have touchwiz on it...yours does.
this is stock honeycomb 3.1 with the blue buttons and all.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2075
flash that in cwm recovery.
that will get you to best buy software.
I am not rooted ( and therefore dont have a rom on my tab) but I have browsed the dev section quite a bit and I am pretty sure ROMS is what you are looking for. The ROMS here are based off the vanilla stock AOSP which give you the blue icons ( which I assume are the buttons in this image here? http://ausdroid.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/p1030394.jpg )
If so then you would want to look at the roms exclusively as most themes, that themers make, change the buttons there to something different. So look at the screen pics that the ROM dev posted if they are there then you are more than likely good to go

I would suggest this method as probably the easiest.
by the way a ROM is a ROM.... a theme is made to dress up a ROM.

Thanks for the quick replies. I don't want to go backwards so I'll just play with what I have for now. Tomorrow I'll probably wind up playing with some ROMs just to see what's out there.
I would check out Task 14 Revamped for a ROM and in themes and apps I'd check out b00sted's themes. Both are very recent stable and very well supported. I have never used any of b00sted's themes but I know they are kept up to date and seem very active in his thread. I've looked at a few of the screen shots of his themes and I think you'll find what you're looking for. Plus they're made for Task 14.
You can always customize one that has what you really want to change wallpaper and such that may not be your taste.
Make sure you look around before choosing a ROM so you can make sure there is a theme already posted for the ROM and the theme meets your visual needs before anything else.
Best of luck.

Looks like b00sted's ICS theme has what I'm after. Thanks for the push. Unless you may have seen other theme's out there that have the same. His are the only ISC theme's I find...
Hey Guys
It may be a silly question but I was wondering why the official release still looks like gingerbread I mean obviously some parts look like ICS but others dont, why is this ?
This can be fixed with a theme editor I guess but I was just wondering why, when O2 release this to customers will it still look as it does now ?
Yes it will as samsung are so in love with touchwiz that they should marry it.
I use spb shell so will stick to that.
But use any launcher to get the look you want. When Im not using spb use launcher pro as it gives you a wide scope to play with

Hey person from Telford! nice to see another.
This is the way ICS will look on the SGS2. Samsung wouldn't change from this look as it could potentially alienate a lot of their 20million customers.
Hey guys thanks for the answers, so whats the best way to make it look how its ment to is there a hack to get the look or is the best way via a theme ? the reason I ask is because I have come across this guy http://www.samsung-galaxy-s2-android.com/rom-android-403.html
that is the look I want and he seems to have got the look with earlier versions
The way to get the stock look is with a theme like my ICS RED
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535956
or with a custom ROM.
thats diffrent so if I look for that but im guessing th blue one im after that should do me thanks

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that is AOSP ICS version, so that's the default look of it.. It's not themed
means nothing to me mate so thats the original rom from google or a beta anyway, Im guessing this guy will update this soon then ?
I just want my SGS2 to look like how google inteneded mainly cause its better looking

The problem is that AOSP isn't 100% functional yet.. video recording, MTP and some other things don't work yet and they will remain that way until samsung releases sources or xplodwild finishes his kernel ^^
oooohhhhhh its all starting to make sense now, that makes sense so its just a waiting game really then we can install the google version and its then happy days, so thats what this guy is doing and the CM9 guys
I guess what they do now then is backwards engineer what Samsung has released and work from there
I'm also interested in this. Basically I want a change from always looking at the same menu after a year and i had hoped ics would give it but im hearing it all looks the same cause of touchwizz. So I'm hearing different things, some people say install a theme, others say install a launcher and yet others talk about installing a new rom?
The Ressurection Rom looks quite cool, is it really a bugfree experience? Do i have to reinstall all my programs, downloaded apps and stuff like battlenet authenticator?
Can I install the ressurection rom now or do i need to wait till my phone has ics installed trough kies?
What is the best way to go to get a smooth ICS type experience? Whats the main difference between these things? (sorry im a noob by the way and theres so much information on this site its hard to get a grip on it).
Have a look at the link i put up I think the best thing is to install that rom after its been updated again with the new version of the ics that was just leaked

Nova launcher will give you a stock ics like experience. Worth a try
in the market for free.
Just curious why it seems like there is no love towards RezRom? Im running 1.6 and there is literally not one single post about any mod what so ever for it. In my opinion Rez is about the smoothest and fast gb rom out there. Ive themed what i can myself but am not a pro at it. I would put up what i have but i dont feel its worthy compared to what other people do for theming on other mods.
Probably since bored has already themed the device and added pretty much every mod possible.
im talking about notification bar icons and things like that. I got the icons no problem, but when i try to do the date, etc., the clock goes back to white, when i change the clock, the date goes back to white. Not hating on it at all, but cleanrom has tons of mods where they have different status bar dropdowns, dialers, etc. But no one seems even remotely interested in Rez. I think it really is one of the best and def. props to bored, he is amazing with his work. Just wished more people showed love towards it.
I feel what you're saying man. People probably don't theme it since I assume altering a theme can be a pain in the butt. Not too sure about that since I know jack S about theming.
I theme quite a bit. Heck I used to theme all day. I have at least 6 full themes for sense 3.0. I know I did a full bravo theme for the rezound for gb, including a separate skin to go with it. I haven't had time to look at the framework for ICS yet so porting will take time.
You have to also keep in mind that I, along with several others came from the Thunderbolt. The framework or png's were completely different sizes on sense 3.0. When we all moved over to the Rezound, we realized we pretty much needed to redo a years worth of theming and upgrade all of our work to sense 3.5 png's.
I spent days trying to update one theme to sense 3.5 only to find out ICS came out a short while later. So, now all my work has to be matched up then ported over again to ICS which hasn't been done yet.
The big thing for some of the big themers here on the Rezound are skins. Simply because we make profit on the market. I barely have another skin to roll out for sense 3.5 gb and that took several weeks to complete. I plan on rolling out at least 5 more before I even begin to start theming for ICS. Unless ICS rolls out to the rezound sooner, I wouldn't count on a lot of themes for it.
I'm on ICS as I'm writing this but about all I'm going to put out for ICS are dialers.

Theming will pick up once a official ota is out bc no one want to theme something and then rebase when we get a leak ... At least that's why I'm not theming right now lol

FYI some stuff like dialers and other system apps will work on pretty much all the ROMS since they are all based on the same ICS leak
anything that changes the framework or systemUI is most likely ROM specific. you can however port images from one rom to another manually....if you have the time
You can go to the UOT Kitchen and easily do some light theming on your own. It's kind of fun!
I was already doing my own light theming like status bar icons. I just flashed to Rez 2.1 and am in the works of teaching myself more advanced theming to hopefully throw some out here on xda.
