If you're looking for stock ROM themes you will be severely limited. Your best plan would be to apply a stock, deodexed ROM with significant user interest/support. That way you can keep the stock performance and apply whatever theme you like. Make sure to note your version of the ROM and the version that the theme is compatible with. For ease of use I use CheckRom, it is stable, up to date and with the built in Kitchen App it lets you apply multiple mods/kernels/themes all with a nice gui and with the assurance that it is definitely compatible.
Stock Rom Themes Android market best source i guess .

Thank you so much guys. I will give checkrom a **** first.
Hey everyone,
I'm really sorry if this has been posted out there someone, but I did search and I did not find what I was looking for, as this is recent.
So, I've flashed Samsungs latest ICS official ROM, but I really hate the TW UI. Is there anyway I can apply the UI of the official ICS ?
I'm not refering to launchers skins, as they do not to a total makeover like the menu's, diallers, and such.
I do not want to flash another rom since I don't want to delete anything.
If so, to what do I point to ? Mod's or theme's ?
Thanks in advance

Asked and answered your own question.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you will have to apply a new Theme.

Thanks ctomgee,
I know this is really noob, but I don't know the difference between a Mod or a theme or which is which..
And since I was having doubts and I do not want another ROM, I thought It would be wise to ask.
Thanks !

Mod is short for modification. (duh) Refers to anything that is changed from stock, really.
Theme (which technically is also a mod) refers to a whole set of framework, icon, color, and graphic changes. For example, there are themes out there that just change all the icons, etc. on Gingerbread, to look like ICS, without actually having ICS.
Of course, a theme still won't change your launcher... so you'll still have the TW launcher. Unless you install a third party launcher, like LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW, or other.

It is stock rom, i have it installed for my day to day use, it is stable and fast.
Also i think audio quality of internal speaker is better than the september-rom that was preinstalled at delivery.

After the Factory reset no personal data will be saved.. may be IMEI.. i have to check.
But i don't need anymore a backup.
My phone was stuck in bootloop after installing Xposed Tweakbox i tried to full wipe end to reinstall a stock rom, but zip file was rejected by cwm.. i resolved reflashing everything including the recovery.
After that i tried Yabe rom, fast and light, but there are some minor bugs..
Right now i'm in the latest optimised stock rom.
No bugs, run very smoothly, but i still want to try lewa (miui based) rom.. i'm looking for possibility to customize long press of back softkeys (to force app to close) and long press of volume keys (to change song).

yes it is better ! faster and save more battery.:good:
Yes using the same ROM, smooth and good battery life.No problem at all with it. Probably will stay with it until JB ROM (official) becomes available.
By the way, switched to Lewa recovery, from Lewa package I like TWRP more than CWM (got used with it on Nexus 7).
PS. There are a few threads related to J3 would be nice if somebody could create (if possible) a centralized place for this. Not sure the forum allows this for "chinese" phones, however.
Hi, I have just received my G3. I can't make cellular data work, even it is set "on" and with correct APN.
Other thing is that gtalk is not installed --> is there any way to install it? .
I'll try flashing the latest official ROM (20121129).
EDIT:
cellular data is now working, there was a mistake in the pre-configured APN.
Now the problem is when using cellular data on SIM1 (wcdma), SIM2 hardly can receive calls unless I check "GPRS transfer prefer mode (Call prefer)".

taking other work and provide it here w/o any further details sucks
Triying
Im install the room with gapps from 4.4.4 and I'm still waiting for booting to make comments , waiting about 5 minutes and not booting yet, upss....boot meanwhile i was writting....triynig
Judging by how Japanese/Chinese/Korean ROMs look and behave like, I have a feeling that they are perfectionist. They change the UI completely with their own recents, status bars etc. Props to those guys, I just wish these kind of ROMs had native english support and not some broken English translation. [AOSP-based stuff like Settings, StatusBar still has native English but not the whole ROM has that support]

I have said this on my previous amigo os rom thread but no developer seems intrested
Hmm, its a Very Unique ROM, with all the flairs of the forgotten Kitkat era!!
Here's a VR
Hope this helps
I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)
P.S. Which are the best and last roms you installed on your ace?

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...
sheinbo said:
Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
