Hello.
So, currently I am on Project Epsilon v3 I would like to request two things.
First, Camera sounds from stock RAZR. It was much better than "beep" from Epsilon.
Second, some sorts of Lockscreen modification for icons especially. I would like some Holo-like icons, not apps icons. Is it possible to get something like that? Or maybe you can recommend some good ROM with nice modification stuff.
Thanks in advance!

So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
The bane of ICS for me and my OCD is the terrible mixture of froyo and gingerbread style sony apps with the new ICS theme. I'm sure it goes against the conventions set in google's guidelines on how to make apps for ICS and its slowly but sure driving me me me much more insane.
I would be grateful on a discussion of what can be done to remedy this dreadful plight... I have gathered a couple of ideas but I am looking for more!
1. The music player has ghastly bubbles in its corners and does not fit with ICS theme.
in this thread:

Lasanda links to a thread with an APK that updates the default player to a walkman version ripped by doomlord which can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676013
also I would suggest trying out vanilla music player, it's open source and works with the new lockscreen as well as having widgets that work in other launchers. I can't get the album artwork to work on my mini though (while it works no problem on an android mediaplayer I also have) so would appreciate if anyone else has any input.
2. The home screen's capped framerate now looks laggy since the ICS ui has significantly improved graphical performance from extra use of the GPU. The color scheme and style of the bubbles is also out of phase with the new ICS theme. They shoulda just changed the bubbles for futurisitic triangles or something.
- the best I've managed so far is replacing with zeam
3. call screen : bubbles/
-no idea, if anyone has any clue what to do here if and how to replace the call screen I would be happy and give you my thanks.
Apart from lack of encryption and this poor theme, ICS is good for me. Please share any more tips to improve it further though
thanks
Dear Friends, i'm absolutely love JB genuine theme like the one on CM10 but this rom lacks the features I need from samsung-base ROMs, like S-Beam, voice input and other cool widgets. Samsung Theme for me is ugly and I really detest it. Any ideas will be welcome. To be clear, I mean the theme that will totally replace all custom theme of Samsung, like JB contacts, settings, messaging etc.
I have a phone running stock android 4.1.1 and I want it to look like any other (xperia, touchwiz, sense etc.) but I can't find what's needed I really want the status bar to look the same aswell as the launcher and stock apps, I can't use a rom.

Your best bet would be rooting, using the Xposed Framework and something like the HK Theme Manager or Xtheme Engine to make significant changes to the look of the system. These tools work well on most devices, but it can be hard to theme stock HTC roms as they have a very different theming structure vs most devices and generic theming tools can only go so far. Other than that, best you could do without a rom (or root) would be a different launcher that either hides the status bar or comes with it's own (have only seen an iPhone looking launcher with that function) or hide the status bar and figure out how to make something like Zooper Widget to help create your own little section at the top for the clock and battery status - though this stuff would only work on the home screen.
If you REALLY want to change stuff, the best option is a rom and there's really not much getting around it without compromises.
Well, hi! After some months in which i've done a lot of things to my stock rom (or testing other custom roms without enough satisfaction), i've decided to build my own, using the official samsung base. The thing is, i wanted it as something special and personal for me and my friend, we don't pretend to distribute it we just want it to be fast, reliable, debloat a bit, extend with xposed and mainly, to THEME it if possible.
We like stock because of all the samsung features but we miss the possibility to switch between themes as in CM and MIUI, so i wanted to know...
There is some modded systemui, framework-res, phone, settings, etc i can use to replace the stock ones? If so, would those new apk be able to show the interface themed elements CORRECT when i try to apply a theme using Xtheme Engine?
I've already tried Xtheme engine in our actual state and it just changes some icons in the app drawer and some icons in the notification bar..., the appearence of the expanded notification panel, Settings and background elements visible for example...in Root Explorer..., remain the same, but want the system apps to be able to accept xtheme engine, because that would be really handy instead of modding those apks each time we want a new look
And by the way, ehm, i also wanted to know...where is "lockscreen" located? it is part of systemui?
Well, thanks a lot in advance!:fingers-crossed:
