Someone should show others some new way. Here is a lot of incredible people. I'm sure that we don't need google to show us how the design should look like, but we (community) are able and strong enought to create a bigger and better things that copying google themes... Only thing should be done, get right people in right time in right place

Deal with it
CM7 nightly
I want to say that i thought it was really horrifying until i flashed the early port for the ns4g, in the end i thought it was really nice that it was consistent across the whole phone, and in the end made me start to like it.
however, im still on the M'eh side of it, I wanted to make just Golauncher UI related themes for a while now, no icons, just awesome UI's.
Anyone into that idea?
Who ever is responsible for the black unimaginative status bar of ICS and GB should be shot.
The data icons make me rage. Why are the arrows for send and receive next to the 3 instead of under it? Its not lined up. Its the only reason I refuse to use a ICS theme
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I just think that there are too many themes related to ICS and nothing new is coming.
I never liked gingerbread icons or ics I much prefer sprint lovers icons. To each it's own I guess.

It is pretty ugly IMO, and this coming from a guy who loves dark themes.
not good............................
I think they were trying to go for a unique look to really distinguish the Android ui. IMO it's well made and decent, it's just not my thing. It's like a user made CM7 theme I might download and try for a day but ultimately not keep.
I really like the minimalist style but NOT THE BLUE

I am trying to find some roms that cater to the women who have rooted and want a girly look to their phone. I flashed Droid Does Pink to my phone last night and love the girly feel to it..it is sense based and is overclocked. I also downloaded the hello kitty icon pink icon pack for use with the better cut app to further complete the girly look. I am loving the fact that there is so much pink on my phone..dialer, clock, battery widget, etc ALL PINK!!! Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed. Or if there is anyone reading this that makes custom roms please make some for the ladies. Thanks
Glad to hear you were able to customize to your taste. There aren't many (or any) "girly" roms because not too many girls like to get this technical with their phones. Good to see there is at least one though.

There may not be any technical women who want to root their phones but I'm also thinking along the lines of guys who root phones for their women. I found a purple rom but I think it was for the motorola droid.
I didn't think I'd want to root but once I found the easy root thread and jumped in head first its not as bad as I thought. Customizing is fun..now I'm trying to learn to partition my card and change my lock screen!

there is a theme (for eris phones) that's all pink. I think it's called "Droid Does Pink" or a variation of that.

I can empathize with this situation.
Rooted my gf's phone just to put it fully on Cricket - would be nice to have a Pink SenseUI ROM with the July 24 OTA.
You could also use a rom that can use metamorph for themes. I know there was at least one pink metamorph theme(pink ice or something like that) that was compatible with my cyanogen 2.1 rom. I think roms with metamorph give you a little more options in that regard. I actually made Droid Does Pink rom so that my wife would let me root her phone as their were no girly roms or themes at that time at all.
Thanks conap for your rom! I really like it! Is metamorph compatible with the droid does pink as well

Conap I love your work also! My wife loves the droiddoespink theme but it's a sense rom and she's been on kaosfroyo for a while and loves it. Any way you can make an update.zip for just the droiddoespink theme so that it can be applied to other roms??
I have to say that most women probably don't get into the technical aspects of their phones, but for some reason, I totally geeked out on mine. It freaks my husband out a little, I think. He helps me with my car, I fix his phone. It works well.
Coming from this perspective, I hope we aren't going to see an explosion of pink android themes... pretty please. Stick with the badass stuff like usual.
In more and more posts I see devs talking about rooting/testing with their wives' phones. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if a dev worked on a small line of girlied out ROMS for the ladies. My ma would love a purple or skyblue one :wink wink:

Does anyone know where I can get the icons from the Droid Does Pink Rom?
Would it be possible to port TouchWiz from something like the Droid Charge over to the Thunderbolt? I know its a longshot but our devs have pulled off miracles before.
Wrong section for this. Also I don't think anyone would be interested in porting it over, but good luck on that one.
With the general dislike of touchwiz 3.0 I would imagine it being unlikely.

On another note, if you're interested in the sideways scrolling app drawer try getting ADW Launcher and you can probably skin it to look like touchwiz also?
Gross... I feel like most people with samsung devices try to get rid of touchwiz.
That said, once miui is stable enough for everyday use that is fairly similar to touchwiz, at least in terms of the general layout and "cartoon-y" icons.

Go Launcher Ex is more or less Touchwiz with some added features. It has the horizontal scroll app drawer by default, or you can use a vertical one as well. They recently made the horizontal app drawer circular so it restarts when it reaches the end.

Maybe because people like the Android OS but want it to look a little different? There's nothing wrong with that. Get off your high horse.
generally custom aftermarket launchers serve the purpose of things without mucking up the framework and source imho.
IMO its equal to wanting to port Blur..........
On a serious note, try MIUI, i dont know how the port is going, but it is a twist between Touch-Wiz and iOS
Im not a big fan of touchwiz, but i do like the puzzle piece lockscreen, other than that, i'll reserve my judgement of touchwiz until i can get some more time playing with it. I have a girl at work that just got the Charge, an she let me play with if for a minute or two. Im trying to talk her into rooting it just so i can do it for her for the hell of it

MIUI is dependant on the RIL from an AOSP ROM. So I believe it won't be available for a daily use ROM until slayher or someone posts the RIL they have been working on.
Hey guys, basically I'm here to ask what kinda roms most users of the Thunderbolt like to use. I been playing with an idea to do something for yall. I don't have a Thunderbolt though so it wouldn't be anything sharp like ICS. I would probably want to do something based off of yalls OTA just to sort of get the feel for things first. I've did about 8 roms for the HTC Droid Incredible so I could kinda find my way without to much help I guess.
Anyways, I'm not sure if I will or not. i just wanted to see what yall think first.
I'll put in a poll to help decide.
well the answer to will I work on this device is starting to look pretty much answered, lol. We'll see though.

Thats a good concept. I just wouldn't want to put to much effort into something that I would never get to see or use my self especially if others here don't really want it. But I'm just gonna leave this open for a little while longer. Who knows, maybe I'll get a hundred votes tonight, lol
one thing that absolutely kills a rom for me is if I am unable to change apn settings
this is because I need to change them for mms to work on my carrier (cricket). If I cant change em, i cant use the rom. That is one thing i liked across yours and jermaines roms.
I knew instantly when i got my dinc I was a sense fan (in my opinion its way better than aosp interface) but as sense versions got higher 2.0 2.5. 3.0......... It really slowed my phone down compared to aosp roms...................... and then i found the minimalist roms............. and i was in heaven
so make a minimalist sense rom............... lol
I got rid of my inc before i found your roms but have been loading them on my friends inc, and i can say that they were smooth for me. Wouldn't mind dropping one of yours on my thunderbolt. After you figure your way around maybe a possible sense 3.5 rom! Just saying that'd be great. haha
I really like gingeritis3d by chingy510.. He has slowed down on his development do to school though.
What I like about his rom is that it is 2.1 based. 2.1 roms run alot better on my tb. He has added the 3d carrousel which I think most people look for and he incorporated the sexy smooth rosie that was developed by someone else here on xda.
The rom could benefit with more tweaks options, like 4g toggle and more quick settings. just my 2 cents. Thanks for your interest in deving for the bolt!
I personally use liquid gingerbread, its fast, light, and highly customizable. Please please please stay away from sense 3.5.
I know ill get flamed but please include the music player with beats Some people like that "eq" setting,and if they don't like it they don't have to use it.

Let me start by saying that regardless of whether I like someones rom or themes, I really do appreciate the hard work and eeffort that they point in to making our phones better, because without them our phones would be boring.
Anyways it seems that there are so many themes and Roms that are taking after the ics look, which is what they intesned to do but between our phones dev/theme forum and the i9100 dev/theme forums, it is nuts how many there are and personally I don't are what is so "neat" about the ics look. I think it is a boring look and I prefer themes like blue monkey, more unique look than the same old cyan everything over and over. Seems like people must really like the look of ics. I am excited to be able to use some of the features of ics when we do get it but as soon as we do get ics I will be looking for a theme asap as again I think the stock ics look is boring. Anyways I hope I didn't piss anyone off by saying this, because again I do appreciate the work and effort they put forth. Am I alone on this or is there anyone else who feels that the ics look is a Tad overrated?

You should make your own theme and share it with the community here. Or port one of the many Theme Chooser themes from CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
I guess the new definition of influx and huge mean 3<=. And that should be only about 2.5 since one ROM only has a few ICS theme elements.
Dont worry about what the rom looks like. Install the one that works for you and the one that you like the best... and then theme it yourself to how you want it to look (launcher, colors, notification bar...) since everything is customizable.
How do you guys like it? I'm still tempted to go bareback and toss sense out. I gave it a shot, awesome job guys, but don't like how it wants to stuff facebook in my face all the time. If there is a way to reorganize the main page I haven't seen it. Ended up nandroiding back to meanbean 3.09 for now. Runs slick as glass. If I download and install the bareback superlte does that include the camera drivers so there is no loss in quality/functionality?
Also what is svn lol. I just downloaded the sense 5 port directly to my phone and flashed it, s-off, but I keep reading Bout svn. Is that update software? With meanbean I just used the ota updater.
Sorry kinda new

I absolutely love it.
I don't use Facebook either, so I froze it using app quarantine from the play store and it doesn't pop up anywhere anymore.
Svn is a way to get the latest updates without having to download the whole file. It downloads only the parts that have been updated reducing download time.
You also get downloads in advance.
Switching main screen is in the pinch on home screen widgets layout. You hold the screen you want selected in that window and drag it to main.
I love sense 5. Smoothest ROM I've ever had, especially with the arc reactor kernel.
I currently also have a 7582 quadrant score because of the ROM.
Turtlesvn is a svn client (I think that's its name) from there follow the thread listed about svn to get it set up.
I will never go back to sense 4.5 or aosp, they are farrrrr behind sense 5 and I know when you get it figured out you will agree.
Have fun!

svn is a version control system that developers use to check in their code. It allows other devs to pull the changes down to their machines to make sure they're working with the latest files. The sense 5 repository is public, so anyone can pull down the files needed to flash the rom, but it's still intended more for the developers.

I love Sense 5. Personally, I think it's the best thing to happen to Sense. It feels like Cyanogenmod and HTC had a baby. It's zippy, it's smart, it's gorgeous to look at, and it's simple (For some people, too simple lol http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-sense-5-app-drawer-making-simple-complicated )
Link feed is pretty neat I have to say. I can't wait for a working gallery so I can see in person how the zoe moments work. And I can't wait to see how the devs theme it.

I think it's the best version of sense yet. I hate sense and only used it when I needed to do something that wasn't working in AOSP, AOKP, etc. Sense 5 is actually very handy and flexible. The development of the port seems to be coming along very nicely and my hat's of to all of them!
Also, igotlostintampa has done a kicka$$ job of putting together a great FAQ that has helped me greatly in getting this to be a DD.

Sense 5 is the first OEM skin I've ever used that I feel is as cohesive and attractive as stock Android. It's better than Touchwiz, better than not-Blur, better than Optimus UI, and most importantly, WAY better than any prior version of Sense. I think I've finally found an AOSP replacement. I was actually planning to buy an Optimus G on eBay and sell this phone, but Sense 5 has convinced me to stick with the Evo. Using Arc Reactor kernel 0.41 (1.7) along with Sense 5, this phone is pretty close to the G performance-wise despite only having 2 CPU cores.

I initially said I liked Sense 5, but have since changed my mind. I don't like the blink feed being forced on me. I can't remove it nor can I change what page it is. I feel as if HTC just watered Sense down. It is very light. Not so much a UI anymore, buy more of a skin or theme similar to Touchwiz. I know this move will be praised by some, but if you're a fan of Sense, you might be disappointed as I am. I like the Sense widgets. Now they are either watered down to look more AOSP or simply gone. No HTC bookmarks, no HTC Music. Calendar looks weak. I keep flashing the newest daily in an attempt to like it (as this is the future) but I keep coming back to my nandroid. I give the Devs all the respect in the world and this rant is in no way a reflection of my thoughts to their hard work to bring the port to us. I'm grateful to have the ability to try it.

OK. Back to AOKP for me. Tried it for about 2hrs to check it out, and the devs have done an amazing job, but sense is still painful compared to AOKP to me. HTC did do better with multitasking, a lot (unless it was the wicked xda devs that fixed that). Still, sense is too blocky and in my face for me to use.
That said, there were a few cool new features, like if you have a contact that is Google and Facebook , sense gives you option to pick which icon pic. Cool, but doesn't stand a chance against AOKP/Rootbox/slim bean/CM.
Wish I knew what all the sense users see. Hell, there's not even an email widget (which 4.1.2+ has now).
