I'm getting a bit bored of the same design, notification bar at the top, pull it down, icons at the top, etc. I was wondering if there are any ROMS for the gt-I9100 that are designed differently? Yeah sure you can use different launchers or flash MIUI but I want to see something new. Cheers!

Surely it's not difficult to go to the development sections & read up on the features of a few roms to find what you want ?
Or even try a few out after doing a nandroid backup of your current setup. Pretty easy to backup, flash a rom, see if it has the cosmetic things you're after, keep it if it does, restore your previous setup if it doesn't.

PMing devs is the number 1 way to annoy them... It's good to post this in Q&A.
Actually, boot2gecko might be of interest to you (no idea if it's stable enough to use yet, but it's something new!)

MIUI was the only one ROM with different framework and look, now they also made photocopy of SAMSUNG in ICS versions... baaad
Simple answer no!
You are asking to remove something what makes it Android the notification bar. Even ios had that now....
Try Windows phone, that's different.

All the ROM from developers are custom ROM cooked from original shipped ROM

who doesn't want an AOSP rom?
I also really don't care about an ICS release - though I'll happily take it, stock and rooted.

When the ICS kernel is ready, you can flash the i9100 stock ICS rom.
I'll probably try it out at the very least. I think I'm addicted to flashing.

I just don't like thw TW launcher as much. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I wish it had more flexibility. TW 4.5 has some of those, but then it lacks some from the official TW3.
Other wise, I like some of the other additions by Samsung. Specially the changes in Clock and Contacts.
So now I am aiming for stock i9100 + Nova/Apex launcher

I like Samsung based over aosp based too. But development on both fronts helps make for an overall better experience for anyone who likes flashing and tinkering with there phone.
As far as tw launcher, it has gotten allot better, but no matter whether I run asop based or Samsung based I always seem to find my way to go launcher or adw.
Once ics is working well enough for me to keep it on my phone longer than a day or two, I'm going to spend some time checking out the nova launcher.

I partially agree. I don't really care about ICS, but I'll probably update to it when it comes out. I am perfectly happy with the setup I have now. I dont't understand why people are acting like they "need" it.
I also like AOSP and its simplicity, but I love the media format support provided by Samsung roms. Full 1080p wmv's @ 10mbps? Yes please. I don't care for Touchwiz launcher itself though.
And I can't live without allshare
I might be crazy but if a rom has it removed on install I will instantly flash another rom with it.

I find you need a balance between constantly flashing and having a functional device.

My phone is a communication device primarily, a personal organizer and music source for my truck, and sometimes light gaming device.
It'll never replace my desktop, and it'll never replace my HTPC + 55" Samsung LED SmartTV. I just can't stand watching video on such a small screen.

1.) Flashing ROMs doesn't mean one's device doesn't work. It simply means they want a change from stock/whatever they decide to change from.
2.) Flashing ROMs doesn't disable your device as a communication platform. AOSP based ROMs (With ICS, at least) have a better calendar, camera application, and are compatible with virtually every app you currently have now.
3.) Not trying to sound like a ****, but if you just want it to work and aren't concerned with flashing the ROM or anything, why are you on XDA Developers?

Sence 3.0+ is almost perfect
Just power menu screenshots, Fasterfix and Adfree makes it perfect. Leedroid does a pretty good job at making the last 2 happen
something different really...all android os have the same layout pretty much and I would like to see more voice command. example: you tell the phone what you want to do and it will be done. you control the whole phone with your voice instead of your fingers, phone does all the work while you tell it what to do.
I loved the Samsung Galaxy S on 2.2... The functions such as media buttons in the lock screen and drag down menu... as well as the wifi, bt, etc built into the drag down menu. And it was always quick for me.. No lag..
But it needs to be custom, the ability to easily run back to your stock rom, and then back to the custom rom on start up? Such as a computer when you run windows then ubuntu?
Just my thoughs.....

Yes. I'm riding solo right now, so it will take a while to make. But I am building from source and completely revamping GB 2.3, I am going to make my own music player, gallery, merge the messaging, dialer and contacts (similar to goSMS) for smoother functionality, and a lot of other features, I plan on a few major releases, and get ppl to port it to their phones.

Hello XDA!
I was curious if it's possible for there to be a 2.2 based build off of AOSP.
-I prefer the look and feel of froyo over gingerbread and ics (call me crazy)
-I have noticed another thread about donut but froyo is much more recent than 1.6
-This could be impossible
--I probably sound like a typical 15 year old
Any replies would be helpful!
Thankyou!

Since froyo was never on this phone that would probably be pretty difficult, you could always use a more recent cm7 build and find the theme called retrodroid it will make it look like 2.2

There are a handful of people that can probably do it in this forum.. just nobody will. Easiest thing would be to smali edit gb to have same look and menu layout. You would have to resize a bunch of stuff. You should try the online kitchen to make a theme then smali edit the files.

Ok Thankyou! That's the kind of answer I was looking for! Not that I know what smali is but hey, as long as I have google and Odin ill be fine!
I do believe Froyo doesnt support dual core processor phones, so it would be a feat if anyone was able to do it. I really honestly recommend just themeing it to look like Froyo over anything. The APIs for certain apps are also present in 2.3+ so I'd honestly say just to stick with that.

It eats lots of ram and make phone slower too

Yeh that's the reason I took it off.. I mean the slowness isn't that much greater but You can definitely tell when I was playing the HD game NOVA 3. But I really like the setup and options. You know what I think? I recon that because its installed over the touchwiz home it takes too much ram because you are Running to different homes. But what if there is a Rom out there that takes out the original home and replaces it with this one, then that would be perfect. Does anyone know of any fast roms that use this UI ?

Well I know that there are a lot of device specific screenshot threads here at XDA. I also realize that there are existing random posts here and there for mods, themes, widgets and the like. It used to be that when I'd surf through the posts, every-so-often an MIUI user would pop in and post and then you wouldn't see anything MIUI related for a while. Now that every-so-often seems to be more and more.
Considering the fact that MIUI seems to be gaining in overall popularity, I was hoping we could get something going here for all the MIUI users, to share and show Themes nd modes on Note2
In so many words, I'm looking for screenshots, but not limited to home screens and or lock screens. If you have a dialer or drop-down, maybe a boot animation… whatever. Post it. Regardless of device.
If you could also please include details or links to resources, that would be very nice.
Let the chat begans

If you want a thread "regardless of device", why would you want it in the Note 2 forum? Doesn't this thread do the job? And why post in General anyway, and not in Themes & Apps?
My opinion on MIUI/SGN2 hasn't been a good one, for what it's worth.
I had MIUI on my Note 2 for less than a day, it was easily the worst ever MIUI I'd ever tried - and I speak as a fan who at various times had it on all 3 SGS models I had. Sadly, I can't think of a single thing that a Note 2 MIUI ROM, in its current state, offers that Sammy can't beat - be it stock or custom.
