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 .

Nope, not without you telling us what rom you where on, and what rom you flashed.
Also if its a custom rom its more than likely the thread you got it on lists what had been removed and how to put it back.

At first, I changed to yakka rom v4 then I found that the samsung apps is missing..
Then I changed back to the initial rom which is criskelo rom v34
and the samsung apps is still missing until I restore back stock rom,
then I found my samsung apps.. But it disappear again when I changed to yakka rom..
That's the story.. And I can't find the solution for the problem..
This will probably be because the new ROM has had the taken out by the Dev thats why you cant see them.You can download them from here clicking on the blue link next to each app you want.

The real solution would be for you to have read the rom builders description of each rom .
Most devs remove Samsung Apps as a waste of space to build a lighter rom .

If you check in the threads, where will most likely be flashable zips with the removed apps to put them back. (I found one in the Criskelo thread for example)
As far as the apps on the spreadsheet, they might work but I dont know which rom they are from, and what version they are, best idea is to get them from the rom thread.
Or use a different rom that doesn't remove anything.

Sure, but the devs mostly want to build fast and light ROMs and as you see you still have options to get the Samsung Apps; propably you find the same info in all of the ROM threads

Samsung Dive is a service provided by Samsung for free, you can track your mobile and do all sort of things via your desktop.
Samsung Dive comes pre-instllaed ONLY in stock Samsung roms.
Most of the costume ROM's makers/developers remove this app since it consume the battery.
There is no way to install it if you are using a non stock ROM (You can try though).
If you want a much better substitute buy Cerberus.

Hello
I wanted to ask, is it posible (on my ray) to make ultra light gapps and ROM with no ather apps just system and superSu + root browser.
I mean just main system apps, with no recorders, google talks, no live wallpapers picker or theme choosers...

Thanks.

Yes all these things are possible. A lot will depend on what ROM you are running and what you have already done to your device. If you google search for light gapps or minimal gapps you will find what you are looking for, just make sure to take a version of gapps that is compatible with your RAY and whatever ROM you are running on it. There is a pretty big list of what can and should not be deleted from your device here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...e-apks-their-purpose-safe-not-remove-big.html
Don't just remove anything that you "think" you don't need. Only remove stuff that you are reasonably sure is safe to remove and make sure that you have a rescue strategy ready (a nandroid back up of your device for example) in case it all goes wrong.

These types of general help threads are becoming more popular around xda and as sandy7 said, it is largely a way to keep people from opening up new threads (most of which are repeated questions). These unnecessary threads can clog up a forum and cause more important threads to sink and be hard to find. These general help threads are usually describes as new user friendly and that anything can be asked with out the asker getting flamed. That includes the dreaded "which is the best rom" question, which should be answered as politely as possible (hard I know!). If you guys care, I know of some of these other threads and I can post or PM you links, so you can see how others have done it.
I am on stock sony rom+mesa 3.8 hybrid, I created a back via TWRP, so now I want to install cm10 on my phone.
questions:
1) after installing cm10, if i restore the backup, will it backup only my data and settings? will it revert back to stock rom/the rom for which the backup was created?
2)how to switch between 2 roms(maintaining same data on both)?
3) does mesa 3.8 support init.d script?
4) how to check if init.d script is working on my device?
5) is i install any other rom, will the init.d script remain?
2. Confirm first - I know it works if it's the update of the same rom flash a new rom without wiping data, just wipe cache and dalvik, it will either work or bootloop
3, 4. If u are a noob, download pimpmyrom from store, itchecks for you and if it's not there it can make it supported, if dev there wud be a much better way

1. Nope if you restore ics backup on jb kernel you will be stuck in bootloop. Also I won't recommend you to use ics data on cm10.
2. If you are using ics rom then you can use nearly any ics rom over it without wiping data but doing all the other given wipes. Same goes for other android versions.
3. Just check in the mesa kernel thread no need to ask here.
4. If it's in the kernel then it will work. Anyways you cud do as mnishamk told u...
5. Most probably it may. Many of the ROMs here have int.d support.

Installing Stock Apps In Custom Rom
I just want to ask if I could install some stock apps to a custom rom. I have installed "xNXT™ 7" on my WT19i yesterday. The rom is nice but I want to use stock ICS (WT19i) conversations app with it. I pushed it to system/app using ROOT EXPLORER with correct permissions but after rebooting my messaging app was gone.
I tried posting my problem on rom's thread but I'm new here @ XDA and not allowed to post under development forum until post count reaches 10.
Is there any way ?

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?

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
