Big gamer here. I compete in MLG daily for Halo only. I asked this same topic in HD2 but I am upgrading to the Note. I was wondering if a dev would like to take up a task of creating a Halo only ICS rom. Im talking all icons, menus, systems menus etc... all Halo themed. I am willing to dish out some cash. PM me if you want the job lol. Sorry im pretty serious i to Halo lol.

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

Why not just flash them both and make your own determination?
good day.
I find the new theme kind of meh...it's real low energy and kind of boring.
I thought I was the only one.

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
I'm not liking it either

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
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
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?

Lol, ics with a gingerbread theme for you.

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.
Maybe some devs are just blown away by the options - or maybe they don't think this device is that popular? Blow them away by voting and showing how in demand their services are - and for what!
There is a lot of variety out there right now- and with the official ICS leak these things SHOULD be much more possible, so let me ask you what flavor of ICS do you want the most?
All examples are from vibrant because I have tested all of them on my old phone.. many of the more popular devices have them all.
Ports/official:
Slim ICS - Clean, Simple, and fast - the google way - as barebone aosp as it gets.(Can you say a 75mb download?)
Something like MIUI - A feature heavy nearly total redesign of Android - everything about this type of rom is different - but most of you probably know that. Easily themable in every aspect. Some of the features are here(don't forget it takes advantage of all the new features of ICS)
AOSP(Android open source project) - Either official CM9 or pure AOSP - the stock experience without our blessed "SenseUI" we all have come to love/hate - CM9 of course has some extra features.. and is also easily themable.
AOKP(Android open kang project) - Much like a feature rich version of CM9, while still aiming at a stock experience - if you want to know the differences click here(or check some of the features here)
SenseUI+ - Do you just want modified Senseui with some tweaks? Maybe some root, crt displays, power menu options.. just a stock+ experience? If so go to the development section, it has only been a week yet some good roms seem to be popping up all over(*cough* signature *cough*).
I like stock - HTC and Tmobile decide what I should use, and that's the way I like it! The most I could ask for, if I was feeling risky, is to get a little bit of root. Maybe.
Gingerbread - Damn this new radio! My battery sucks! Life sucks! How dare they leak a rom that isn't even finished! Those @ss&*#(s!
I'm gonna buy a new phone - You guys are noobs, I'm gonna buy a new phone!
If I missed an option, I'm sorry.. send me a PM and I'll see if I can add it to the list- but these are some of the choices out there, maybe help out devs and the potential ones alike by shouting at them all in one place!(rather than in their threads- I'm pretty sure they hate that.)

I wondered where you chose that name.. now it all makes sense!
I tried AOKP on my vibrant.. unfortunately that phone just can't compare to this one.
Sense 4.0 or MIUI ICS!

And yet there is no vote for MIUI? What gives?
I haven't seen that sense4 has enough improvements over 3.6, and then there is the fact that many of those features were integrated into ICS anyways.. is it worth the slowdown?
Now Miui on the other hand has some really original features..
I voted on MIUI after posting. Had it on my HD2 and couldn't wish for anything better!

I've been bouncing between the 2 senseless roms, and I like both of them so far so I vote for anything without sense.
I have cm9 nexus on my HD2 and still cheat on my amaze with it sometimes.

For me its.between aokl for its aosp qualities and tweaks and sense 4 for its ui and features and not to mention, endless eye candy lol

AOSP/AOKP are the same .
AOKP just builds on AOSP. Once you have one you work on the other no ?

Basically i already have both working but i'll start working on miui
My vote went to AOSP and AOKP. I don't care which...I just want one of them!
CM9. Would love to play around with Sense 4.0, though.
I want my Amaze to look and run similar to the Galaxy Nexus.
AOSP!!.. Pleaaaase!..
Sense 4 could be on fire and I'd pee in the other direction to avoid even 1 drop quenching a single flame

Well since 65%(so far) of everyone who voted went with aosp you know your work there will be appreciated!
I'm really surprised more people haven't put in their opinion!
Well I would like an aosp before anything, then bring speed Rom over to it

The Ruby needs to be blessed with any variant of ICS AOSP. We've seen enough Sense lately.

If you would like you could start working on miui i want to dedicate my time to AOSP
as misleading as the title may seem(sorry) im here to ask from the community what my next rom port is gonna be(still working on omni, will resume after the new kernel starts working)
To find more roms, i wen to the nexus 5/moto G forums and looked at the different roms they have.
i found 4 im willing to port(but i still want suggestions)
i have found
Blue Lightning
evervolv
Nameless Rom
HellKat
i have a limited amount of space for porting(about 80gb's more) b ut i have the ability to up to that to 250gb(internal 2nd HD)
however i would love to hear more ideas from you guys
im mainly looking for
- supa cool themes(slimkat)
- something with innovation(paranoid android)
- something with WAYY too many features(PAC)
leave comments, thanks
evervolv, the only one i used on the list
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Evervolv looks like it may not be maintained any more but other than that it looks interesting (probably really close to aosp which we don't have ATM), blue lightning kind of just looks like same ol same ol, hellkat is a themed cm with yolandi visser as the background... Nameless looks nice though, a simple ROM with some useful features. That being said it also sounds like it's really close to aosp which could be a difficult built. But I think my vote is gonna go for nameless
