So there is now a general list of most of the kernels available.. but what about Mods? Stuff like the modified boot menu (which I just flashed ). It would be nice (if possible) if there were a list of single/individual mods for things that people randomly have preferences for (e.g. 4 or 6 bars for signal strength and circle or regular battery etc).
Anyone else agree?

this is too hard to do as every rom has different frameworks, apks etc. cant really make a "general" mod that will work for everyone.

Nonono not a general mod! A list of mods that each do single, specific things.
*edit* nevermind I see what you are saying. But would it be too difficult to do something like the Mod for the expanded boot menu? There were only two versions (one for deodex and one for odex) that worked pretty broadly.
agreed would be nice...but sooooo difficult!!!
what's a mod???
a single icon change??? how about a group of icons??? transparent pulldown bar??? how bout translucent pulldown??? theme's, icons, skins, deodexed, odexed, sense, non-sense, aosp...
it's just too much

I was thinking more along the lines of just the single icon change ones. I guess it would be quite a bit :/

I was thinking about just that. I'd need to learn everything from scratch (not sure how to do any of it) and only have relatively basic knowledge of programming. Only a freshman in college! Don't have much free time but I will definitely get on it.
for a second there I thought the OP was looking for moderators who were single.

It changes your whole framework bartek, as the bar and pull down are but a handful of images in the midst of hundreds that make up the basic looks and feel of the current rom you are running. It is entirely possible, but unless its done on the framework you are currently running, it will change the whole look of your phone.
i run stock KB1 2.2.1 i think beta 2 so it has stock 2.2 framework i think
hmm.. just the pulldown? that's in twframework.apk
a matter of replacing 20-30 images? and most of the framework should remain intact though.

There are a couple of images in the framework-res as well, both files would be needed to do the whole pull down/notification area. If its just the top bar, then thats one png in the twframework to change I do believe.
Bartek has been barking up this tree for two weeks now that I know about. I think he can do it with a little bit of effort, but has spent more time asking for it than learning about it. The man changes roms more than a fickle woman changes her mind, the white bar requests would be hard to keep up with.

It can be done broski, we talked about it, but I was eyeballs deep in a ton of other things at the time. Are you wanting just the top bar, or the whole notification area?
Sent from my Loki powered Vibrant on the XDA App
whichever is easier for You , i take bar only if it save u time
broski reminded me of youtube video with Jägerbomb and anyone with hair like this gettin laid tonight
im out to work ill be back later got to let people breath freely and let them live i think they hate me lol
the easiest way is just use ninjamorph to edit twframework-res & framework-res and use root explorer to push into /system. However, just be carefully editing those .9.png might work - might not

I am very new to some of this stuff. This is my first theme and I hope you like it. I used UOT Kitchen and The framework and systemui apks from the Quantum theme. I wanted to keep the notification toggles in. I hope to be theming the dialer soon and adding more tweaks. Thank me if you want, but I won't be upset if you don't. Give thanks to Jokersax11. I used most of his stuff to put this together. I just wanted to contribute in some way. Please enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think or give any ideas as to what you might like added. I make no promises though as to what I can get done. Also launcher wallpaper and clock not included.
Note: this is not a Pittsburgh Steelers theme. I am just a fan.
Version 2.2
Added Black Settings menu.
People to thank:
Jokersax11 for his properly working update.zip files (mine never work. lol).
Also for the skinny rom as this would not be possible without it.
Thanks to Motempo for his notification toggles.
Also thanks to Rangerby for bringing the notification toggles to our Mo-phos.
Sorry for forgetting you guys.
KTT16 for his dialer. I just gave it the yellow infusion you craved.
If you want a good Steelers dialer to go with it then head on over to Admiralj21s' page and get his. Also don't forget to thank him.

Overall I think the theme is good. I think that the battery indicator. Color could flow with the rest of the theme better (maybe start yellow and fade to red?). The blue vibrate/silence icon looks out of place as well. I find the font difficult to work with also, but it is available without so that's great.
Thanks for your hard work! I'll look forward to the updates.
Oh, like the boot animation as well.
Just finished the dialer and lock screen. Will post tomorrow.

Redesigned the theme and have to say it looks better. I will update tonight. New additions will include better battery icon, notification drop down, themed lockscreen and settings menu icons from htc. Going to start on the keyboard this weekend along with other things as I work a lot and don't have much time throughout the week.
Nice job! I don't personally like a black & yellow theme, but if I were to like it, this would be my theme! NICE JOB!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Thanks. I plan on making many more. I was going to do a black and blue theme, but Ktt16 beat me to it. lol I just learned to do the .9 pngs so it will allow me to further my theming abilities. I think I am going to try a green theme with custom icons next, but before I do I will try and learn the keyboard and sms theming.

Most of it is easy. It is the .9 pngs that give you trouble. You need the android sdk, java jre, and eclipse just to edit them properly. Took me about a week to figure it all out. If you want to edit lock screens and some other system and framework icons you will definitely need all those things. I was getting tired of not having the kinds of themes I wanted on here, so I just took it upon myself to learn it. I am still learning, but would be glad to help you.
Just updated again. I will try and slow these down. lol
While I do appreciate any effort towards Photon development.....I gotta say man...this theme is terrible. The screenshots of your home screen are muddled and lack any sort of order. The colors are inconsistent and ugly and the notification and lock screen icons look like crap.
Sorry for ragging on your theme and homescreen setup but it just needs alot of improvement. Keep at it man...you'll get there...try being more minimalistic with it. Only mod what you need to...not everything needs to be completely changed.
Once again I apologize for being harsh and thank you for your contribution.

Well I have been working hard to polish it. I am not offended by your statement after reading your previous posts I have come to the conclusion that negativity is just your nature. Instead of hating on my theme you could take the time and make a nice one of your own. That is if it doesn't eat into your time ragging on other peoples work. I asked that anyone give me input about this theme if they flash it. I wonder if you even tried flashing it or just looked at a couple of screenshots and made your decision there. If it's not appealing to you, then go on to the next theme that does appeal to your liking. Also I am still new to this stuff and as this is my first theme, I know it won't be my best. I however am very proud of it and I think I should be. Instead trolling around here looking for something, I took it upon myself to make my own. What have you done except waste my time by having me put together this reply.
Dude, that was really f'd up man. How was that supposed to encourage more people to theme at all? make your own theme and see if that kind of criticism would be helpful to you.
Yo jf, don't worry about his comment. Your theme is great..and these are our first themes...mine is my first ever. I am by far my harshest critic. Keep up the good work man, and we'll get even better.

Learn to take some constructive criticism...i wasn't trying to be a douche...this is a forum...you post your opinions on forums.
According to my opinion, every Rom out here or basically each Rom compares up to each other. The only difference on choosing a Rom is based on Taste! However some Rom's outmatch others in performance but sadly lack some design issues and I would love to change that
My question?
I would like to work with the TouchWiz System UI and start to edit it, I would like to start with three things.
Editing the System UI Background
Changing the System UI Icons
Phone APK
If someone can help me or tell me how to do it, link me to a guide or got any ideas, know that you are more then welcome to share!

So I see it all over the place in cm9 and aokp, and many many more
all these ROM's have there own custom options built in and i'm curious as how to do it...
I've extracted the control apks from different ROMs to take a look through them in order to try to get a better understanding but I still don't have a full grasp on this... Anyone care to elaborate?
CM9+AOKP are built from source and the options are literally "built" into the Settings/whatever apk. The other one's are either custom made Apps for that ROM or smali edits I'm guessing. It's not really something one can make a tutorial for.

Well that's what I'm asking, how do you add these settings into a say I wanna use aosp and add custom settings, what needs to be done? I know how to edit the settings apk to allow an extra spot for the customization menu but would I just add the pngs for a battery mod to the appropriate apk then write the code to select it or what? I've seen generally how it works but again idk the fine details because I can't get it to work, when selecting the option for the desired mod nothing happens :/

I would suggest taking a look at ROMControl in the AOKP Github. Not going to hold your hand but I'll try to get you going in the right direction.

No need to hold my hand, I've made decent progress on my own but I do appreciate it, I know I'm close as I just need to figure out how to get the changes to stick.. that is if once they stick they all work properly, if they don't I'm sure I can figure those issues out on my own... again thanks man

Well I've purchased (full price as I'm on an unlimited data plan) an S4 after being very happy with my Verizon S3. With the S3 I think I tried and used every ROM there was (donation made to every developer as all should do). Now I'm going to wait to Root and deal with the stock, bloated Verizon/Samsung stock version until there are more Rom choices etc. So far I'm very happy, battery life is good. It took a while but I re-installed about 100 of my apps and I'll live with stock for now. I'm using Apex Launcher ((yes i've had Nova and all the rest but Apex is so excellent for me the others do not even compare) and it's so good with the elegant theme that a new rom is really not critical. I miss Titanium and a few other tweaks, but oh well. But mostly I wish I did have some control over the status bar and colors. So that all being said, what is that weird looking dragon icon in the middle of the status bar??? That THING I would really like to get rid of. It's not listed in the Settings/About Phone/Icon glossary what the H is it???
OH just an FYI I'm at 12h14m 2s with 4h 32m of screen time and 31% left. That is really good. Did I say I was happy?
