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?

I agree. IMO, what's so exciting about ICS is the features, not the looks. Seems pointless to 'fake it' by copying the looks while still missing all the features.

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.

I thought that it would be a really good addition for TSM Parts. On my tablet so I can't really link any videos or demos. But its pretty neat and I've seen it on my friend's droid Eris, so why not on the fascinate?
I know nothing about the technical aspects of how to port something etc, but I thought I'd thought I'd throw this idea out there.
Sorry for the post in dev section. I know the devs don't really look in any other sections. So yeah.

Some actually do look in other section. TSM parts is created from themers not devs. You dont see them making roms. They make mods. Based on themes and ideas etc.

Don't know how difficult something like that is to port, but the reason you've seen it on an Eris is because it's an HTC phone with Sense... I would imagine that's pretty easy to port over
I imagine it's buried deeply in Sense's framework so I think porting it would be difficult, if not impossible. It would be cool though. The more lockscreen choices the better.

I guess this means you have never READ THIS? On topic, it is only possible to mimic a sense lock with what is available within the touchwiz frameworks (nitsuj17 has proven that very well). But no, a sense lock can't be ported to our device with the use of tw frameworks.
good day.

As for the op s original question... is it impossible? I used to yes to a lot if these things in pre sbrissen days... but now ill just say its unlikely
Most sense related things are extremely hard or too difficult to get working because of how heavily they are tied to the htc frameworks and resources
At best it would be too work for someone to get it working... so I doubt anyone would really take a stab at it... but then again who knows

It's been attempted several times from the og Droid to the sgs phones... and its never been completely successful.... I don't think 3g has ever been usable and there is usual hideous lag
Basically if you want the full sense experience your have to buy an htc phone

It's actually quite simple to get it ported and booting. It's just that NOTHING will work, and it'll be laggy. With a ton of time invested in it, it probably could be done, but it'd be extremely difficult.
Either way, what we have now is spectacular, just that it'd be pretty sick to see some sense integration. Especially that lockscreen. The launcher can be replaced, as well as icons and system menus etc. Not lockscreens. Thanks for all the answers people!

Yep. As much as I, and many others, would love ports of other skins(especially Sense), getting them to work is near impossible.

I went with CM7 because I think MIUI looks bugly. However some people really like how it looks. I think it largely comes down to taste.
Here is a link from another forum about this debate.
http://www.incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-roms/8025-cm-vs-miui-4.html
It comes down to taste for me. MIUI honestly looks to.... werid for me. I like clean and simple lines. CM7 just does that for me. The support is amazing, especially hand in hand with the CM7 team to develop for the fascinate for what could be all the way to ICS (Android Ice Cream Sandwich).
CM7 also has my favorite theme from the market MattedBlues.
I have heard MIUI looks much like the Iphone, or is trying to mimic it. I hate the iphone so anything that hints at it I stay away from.
Just a personal preference really. CM7 on/off animations sell it for me.
Fyi, there's already a thread about this in the General section

Someone should show others some new way. Here is a lot of incredible people.

How does it compare to Gingerbread and froyo then? Share your thoughts!
At first, I didn't really like the color scheme, but after using ICS for a while, its a much better sight then Gingerbread. Clean, vibrant.

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

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
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.
hell yeah wildstang,
glad to see you over here, loved your roms, as well as jermaines ran em both on my dinc

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.
Second the above post not a fan of sense 3.5

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus
