Me and a few friends have an awesome Rom idea but none of us are skilled developers. We are looking for a developer or developers to construct the rom. We well be willing to donate and I have a connection who would be interested and willing to donate should we say efficiently. I will create icons, boot animations, wallpapers, graphics etc. As this is more my forte. If it really takes off we might do a wiki or site. We want this Rom to be predominantly Optimus V based. So if your interested PM and we cab discuss details and the actual idea.

Are you planning 2.2 or 2.3 rom? If you give me your framework I can throw it in a cm7 rom. You can do it your self very easily too. I don't mind helping, I just don't get much time in front of my computer these days

2.3 we want to have a different launcher built in. Have you seen the Circle launcher?

That would be simple too, I don't care for it, isn't the full version of circle launcher a paid app?

I agree that if you're after a custom theme with a different launcher for the VM670 there's little to no reason to start all over from scratch. In fact with a bit of practice I bet you guys could do it yourselves.
Basing it off of something established like CM7 and IHO means that you get easy access to bug fixes and other updates.
I think the best route would be to ask for instructions on how to reskin and replace what you want. As most of the stuff in CM7 is BSD or Apache licensed you don't have to redistribute your source (altho, doing so is, IMO, a good idea).
Blarf is the man, he is the one that does most of the work so we don't have to

Just flash IHO, and then flash your themes. Or install your launcher afterwards. Seriously, there's no need for an entirely new ROM.

This is your opinion and Ill respect it.
But IMO you are wrong. What if they figure out a way to improve on IHO?
Or maybe there are people that would rather have a different launcher then adw. I support anderweb but I prefer a different launcher then adw. A fully themed rom including lock screen and all the other stuff the theme changer would also be nice to have.
The more options we have the better off we are. Having just one flavor of IHO only leads to boredom.
I agree with you on this one eollie. We will be using a pure IHO and expanding. It may be a little as we are learning the ropes and want the end product to be exactly what were looking for.

I love this idea. Just wish i knew how to dev. If this ROM gets off the ground, i'd definitely flash it and donate. I was using AOSP's ROM, which appears it may be abandoned now, so i tried IHO, which for some reason keeps rebooting my phone, so i'm looking for a good ROM to run on my Optimus V.

Try mrg666 IHO cm7,with IHO recovery. His latest biuld is 08132011,i have had excellent bat life. No reboots so far its pretty stable and no FCs.This my daily rom for a while.
Once I place apps in the app folder of the rom. Such as a new launcher do I need to do something else besides delete the first one to make it the default launcher

I don't think so, I have clever done it though, just don't try flashing with no launcher. Give it a shot, worst case, you have to restore your backup

They're always improving on IHO, and there are new builds out multiple times a week. BobZ's IHO build uses Launcherpro instead of ADW, and MrG has posted a file to flash with the IHO ROM to give you the stock launcher instead of ADW. Check them out here - https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary . You can always just put your theme on top of that, no?

Or you can modify the zip file as you want, and add the stock themes, and add stock apps

if you want to make the zip file work, you need to add strings in META-INF Folder in cert.sf and manifest, or else zip will say error

If you open archive with 7 zip you can add and remove apps with no issues just turn off signature verification. I replace lots of apps like putting in go launcher, root explorer, and link2sd. Also remove a lot of crap I don't use.

If you really want to theme up your phone (including a Vanilla theme) but don't mind some occasional bugs, check out "HeLauncher" from the market.
Otherwise your best bet is to use Launcher Pro, since IMHO that runs the smoothest that I've used of any launcher on the Atrix...

Thanks ill be looking in them.. hope i can get that vanilla theme that i miss os much
ive tested them... they just change the home... sorry i was looking that changes the overall system theme, like having back the grey notifications bar.... thanks anyway
Some CM7 themes are applied to framework-res and systemui (for the less inclined, systemui handles statusbar icons, and framework-res is too extensive to describe). Well, if you lose your backup of the APK's, or accidentally apply more than 2 themes on top of each other, certain elements may be screwed up. Well, this happened to me more than once (happens to the best of us, right?) and I figured that SOMEONE else out there had to have the same problem. Thus, The Panic Button was born. The Panic Button is a metamorph that replaces ALL files in Framework-Res and SystemUI.apk with the originals from the CM7 rom.
Current Version: 1.0
Based on: CM7 Nightly 225
This will be updated weekly, depending if I have time

Online now. Try it. I updated it to CM7 Latest Nightly. When I have time, I will make one for Quattro.
So I was thinking, we have MIUI which is more or less, a iOS clone.
Is there any ideas for a ROM based off of source that takes elements from WP7, I don't necessarily mean the live tiles, but something close, but the messaging, gallery, etc.
Bump?

You could probably get a copy of the wp7 firmware, and port it. Not sure what the file system is on that, but maybe it's similar?

Well you could also try taking some aosp gb or ics rom,edit its framework systemui.apk put different launcher etc. and see how it all works out.

u may also try launcher7 than install go sms and search for the wp7 theme

Alright. Sooooooo it has been ported before. But...it has a different file system. After that, cwm recovery doesn't have access to system.

OK...I'm not a dev but I'm telling you that we never could port a wp7 run on android system. they're completely different. asking how to run wp7 on android system is similar with asking how to ride a boat on road. the best solution atm is only make a rom with a theme and UI looks like a wp7.
PS: MIUI is not an iOS clone. the interface is might similar but it definetely an android system.

That's true.You can't port WP7 to android.If nothing else than because of kernel.We have a Linux-based kernel and WP uses a different (probably closed-sourcel) one.So as we already told you your best chance is UI changes.I am a dev btw.

I've worded this badly.
I guess I mean a ROM with WP7 influence like MIUI is to iOS.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
Hmm, just change your launcher to a WP7 styled launcher.
Do that with the dialer, email, music and message app too, it should then look like WP7
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
well thats what i mean...
as far as i know there is no rom like that...
as i mentioned take the launcher7 that would bring u the u/i
download go sms and search for the windowsmobile7 theme (dunno exactly how its called)
I guess nobody wants to make a ROM styled like WP7.

with MIUI rom, u can modified theme WP 7 and change icon style...
I believe the OP is also speaking of the WP7 transitions, UI, etc., etc. to also include REAL WORKING HUBS.
Is there a way to get an AOSP Dialer and Contacts apk onto a Sammy Rom? Using a rooted 4.1.2.
Or are there any alternatives to the original apks?

Thanks, but I don't want to change roms. I used so many roms and there always was something that didn't work...I just want to use the original Rom...just not the dialer.
Chamelion is Samsung stock based, with aosp/aokp tweaks added. So everything 'stock' works.....
and with respect, if you'd checked it out rather than dismissing it out of hand, you'd have known that.........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I DID look at it, and for my taste it's too much AOKP and not enough Sammy. What I really want is my rom with AOSP dialer. No other Tweaks etc...
Maybe I got the wrong, but I want to stay as much Sammy as possible. The last 2 years I was experimenting with hundreds of roms and kernels and at some point there was a glitch or something that annoyed the hell out of me.
So I just want to integrate the AOSP dialer into this rom
You *might* be lucky enough to find something like that in the 'themes and apps' section, but like it or not, the way to go is likely to be one of the 'hybrid' ROMs.........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Try xposed module and with the help of theme engine and use of theme apk i think simplex you should be able to get the aosp look
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You can't have it, because the frameworks are different. And if you're not happy with the ports that people have put a lot of time & effort into, do your own port.

try swipe dialer from the market. Very aosp like dialer and very fast too
Try this one. I installed it in XWMS3 NeatROM Lite v5.9 Aroma (4.1.2) and it's working good. I think it's multi DPI because i used it with 198,182 DPI and no problems so far.
