Alternative UI for Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I know there are quite a few alternative Launchers for Android out there, but what I want is to change the UI more then just a bit. I would love to have a "Swipe UI" like the one from the Nokia N9...
I know MIUI but its very Apple like... Any other Costum ROMs (for a Samsung Galaxy Note II) with I could use? Ubuntu has a great UI, but hell yeah, the OS isnt more then just a UI with demo content yet
Thanks and Greets

First flash cyangenmod 10 (or just install nova) and then theme your phone , there are ALOT of themes available , its a matter of personal preference..
If you want a UI change then i would advise you to have a look at the "Mega Boss" theme
Home page of mega boss theme :

Yes Yes!!! fantastic can you help me to make it?
i don't know why i forgot my interest in the htc sense interface, but i did a htc theme for the backflip in mdpi over on the m3 forums.

theme imports are easy.
guess i'll put this as first on my list of themeing and contributions to start doing for the x10..
..btw i can import the imageset for the dock into any launcher of choice too.
next on my list is porting mister x10iuser's greenglow theme into every rom framework i use, as it looks pretty snazzy, and he seems pretty scarce.
really is weird seeing the scene/knowledge differences between devices in different areas.

another crazy request...

is it possible to ad tablet view (like Paranoid settings)
anyone know how to do it??
this AOKP good in user control (ROM control) can customize everythings include locksreen orientation and font colour and many mores
Paranoid got the great tablet view experience...
so can we have this two benefit on one rom (AOKP+Paranoid= XXX.zip)
just my 2cent opinion
no one?

+1 for that...
Some apps with tablet mode would be very useful. I know SGS2 has some tablet UI apps (like phonebook), which is great.
since no one care about this crazy request for a month..
so I'd decided to give it a try:-
1- all res/value and res/xml combined
2- and get this error on apktool (attached image)
*error came on compile progress *
apktool b XXXX

Samsung design decisions: Who the heck is responsible for the 4x4 grid??

I posted this in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 forum, but I think it may be a topic for Samsung users in general, maybe it´s getting more into their focus this way:
I´m sorry if this has been posted before - but I can´t stand the fact, that Samsung shows such a massive effort for software optimizations and special functions, which CLEARLY are pushing the Note III to the top of every smartphone list - while, at the same time, STILL messing around with the restricted grid system in TW.
How can ANYBODY (that keeps an eye on the smartphone market and on the success of alternative launchers) think that a 4x4 grid (- on such a big device with such a great resolution -) is a good idea, looks good, feels good, makes sense or simply is a good choice??
I hate the restriction in general - it shouldn´t be that a problem to simply integrate a "free choice" function into the almighty TW. But hey, you Samsung guys...a 4x4? really?? I even used a 6x7 grid on my S3.
Sorry, perhaps it´s just my mood...

Hi,
Needing dark theme because of eyesight I've discovered theme park and found it very helpfull with one caveat at least, I can't change folder background color. I'm also using nova launcher but none of the 2 seems to do a thing.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

I'm still running Android 9, One UI 1.5 I think there was another color individual folder option but it won't run on my version. Lol, I refuse to upgrade as Pie runs too good.
The Good Lock app updates tend to lag the OS OS upgrade releases. A quaint Samsung tradition If that's the case Samsung will... eventually... fix it.
