So there is now a general list of most of the kernels available.. but what about Mods? Stuff like the modified boot menu (which I just flashed ). It would be nice (if possible) if there were a list of single/individual mods for things that people randomly have preferences for (e.g. 4 or 6 bars for signal strength and circle or regular battery etc).
Anyone else agree?

this is too hard to do as every rom has different frameworks, apks etc. cant really make a "general" mod that will work for everyone.

Nonono not a general mod! A list of mods that each do single, specific things.
*edit* nevermind I see what you are saying. But would it be too difficult to do something like the Mod for the expanded boot menu? There were only two versions (one for deodex and one for odex) that worked pretty broadly.
agreed would be nice...but sooooo difficult!!!
what's a mod???
a single icon change??? how about a group of icons??? transparent pulldown bar??? how bout translucent pulldown??? theme's, icons, skins, deodexed, odexed, sense, non-sense, aosp...
it's just too much

I was thinking more along the lines of just the single icon change ones. I guess it would be quite a bit :/

I was thinking about just that. I'd need to learn everything from scratch (not sure how to do any of it) and only have relatively basic knowledge of programming. Only a freshman in college! Don't have much free time but I will definitely get on it.
for a second there I thought the OP was looking for moderators who were single.

I am very new to some of this stuff. This is my first theme and I hope you like it. I used UOT Kitchen and The framework and systemui apks from the Quantum theme. I wanted to keep the notification toggles in. I hope to be theming the dialer soon and adding more tweaks. Thank me if you want, but I won't be upset if you don't. Give thanks to Jokersax11. I used most of his stuff to put this together. I just wanted to contribute in some way. Please enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think or give any ideas as to what you might like added. I make no promises though as to what I can get done. Also launcher wallpaper and clock not included.
Note: this is not a Pittsburgh Steelers theme. I am just a fan.
Version 2.2
Added Black Settings menu.
People to thank:
Jokersax11 for his properly working update.zip files (mine never work. lol).
Also for the skinny rom as this would not be possible without it.
Thanks to Motempo for his notification toggles.
Also thanks to Rangerby for bringing the notification toggles to our Mo-phos.
Sorry for forgetting you guys.
KTT16 for his dialer. I just gave it the yellow infusion you craved.
If you want a good Steelers dialer to go with it then head on over to Admiralj21s' page and get his. Also don't forget to thank him.

Overall I think the theme is good. I think that the battery indicator. Color could flow with the rest of the theme better (maybe start yellow and fade to red?). The blue vibrate/silence icon looks out of place as well. I find the font difficult to work with also, but it is available without so that's great.
Thanks for your hard work! I'll look forward to the updates.
Oh, like the boot animation as well.

Redesigned the theme and have to say it looks better. I will update tonight. New additions will include better battery icon, notification drop down, themed lockscreen and settings menu icons from htc. Going to start on the keyboard this weekend along with other things as I work a lot and don't have much time throughout the week.
Nice job! I don't personally like a black & yellow theme, but if I were to like it, this would be my theme! NICE JOB!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Most of it is easy. It is the .9 pngs that give you trouble. You need the android sdk, java jre, and eclipse just to edit them properly. Took me about a week to figure it all out. If you want to edit lock screens and some other system and framework icons you will definitely need all those things. I was getting tired of not having the kinds of themes I wanted on here, so I just took it upon myself to learn it. I am still learning, but would be glad to help you.
Just updated again. I will try and slow these down. lol
While I do appreciate any effort towards Photon development.....I gotta say man...this theme is terrible. The screenshots of your home screen are muddled and lack any sort of order. The colors are inconsistent and ugly and the notification and lock screen icons look like crap.
Sorry for ragging on your theme and homescreen setup but it just needs alot of improvement. Keep at it man...you'll get there...try being more minimalistic with it. Only mod what you need to...not everything needs to be completely changed.
Once again I apologize for being harsh and thank you for your contribution.

Well I have been working hard to polish it. I am not offended by your statement after reading your previous posts I have come to the conclusion that negativity is just your nature. Instead of hating on my theme you could take the time and make a nice one of your own. That is if it doesn't eat into your time ragging on other peoples work. I asked that anyone give me input about this theme if they flash it. I wonder if you even tried flashing it or just looked at a couple of screenshots and made your decision there. If it's not appealing to you, then go on to the next theme that does appeal to your liking. Also I am still new to this stuff and as this is my first theme, I know it won't be my best. I however am very proud of it and I think I should be. Instead trolling around here looking for something, I took it upon myself to make my own. What have you done except waste my time by having me put together this reply.
Dude, that was really f'd up man. How was that supposed to encourage more people to theme at all? make your own theme and see if that kind of criticism would be helpful to you.

Learn to take some constructive criticism...i wasn't trying to be a douche...this is a forum...you post your opinions on forums.
I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Yeah I'm really looking for more than just a launcher though. I'm already aware of the creation of MIUI launcher and that's sweet but it doesn't encompass settings themes and notification draw down etc. I'm not super picky about that but I'd prefer everything to be uniform...so not gonna go with that method.

Duddeeeeeeeeee. Just went back through it and found AdyScorpius' version of MIUI. I'd gone through that before but I guess I missed this version. If it's anything like Galnet I'm gonna be soooooo happy. I'm gonna flash it now!! So excited hahah. I'm a speed freak, need my lag free interface, otherwise I get annoyed >.>
Thanks bro! Hope this rom isn't bug ridden. Seems very illegitimately put together, but all the people commend it! We'll see.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.
If you want speed, battery, and best overall flawlessness I suggest: shostock!

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement
This theme is a dark red with regular red combination. A lot of attention is paid to detail, and you'll find it's a very nice combination. Resources, Framework, Phone MMS, and GMail are all themed. No screenies of Gmail for privacy reasons, but it is themed.
Made some changes on 10/28/2012. Added images on the home screen for people and messages, and status bar is themed. This theme is sick.
It will only work on Mean Rom any version from 3.9 and up, the mods Mikey is making on his ROM are mainly tweeks so no problem on compatibility. Given how fast Mean Rom is updating I have made this to work on future releases as well. Check out the people icon after you load it
Flash in recovery, and wipe both caches. Note: You have to flash transparent curtain for recent apps to work.
Changed images for people, mail, settings, and messages

Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.

This is your opinion!
But let's be honest to get your hopes up that high to think an app that don't need root permission can change the look/theme of your whole phone. I think that's the disappointing thing.
If you don't like why not just uninstall job done.
I don't get the point in putting down the app due to your own ignorance. I mean why not take your know how and be the creator of an app that does all that you want it to without root. What's that you can't! That right to do all the things you want you would need root.
I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.

Such an app would require root. Seeing as probably a minority root their phones and mess around with it, I don't think it would be with MyColourScreen's time to produce such an app if they wanted to theme everything. Too much code, too many zips to flash, too much theming in general and whatnot.
This app is good for people that want a good luck on their phone. That being said, half the themes on the themer catalogue looks like crap. A lot of it isn't really special in too many ways. Most of them are just cheap with wallpaper doing too much of the work and not the actual feeling of cleanliness. I also don't find these themes to be functional at all in anyway but you either have simplicity or functionality. It's pretty difficult to have both and that, my friends, is why Aviate launcher exists. :good:
Just my 2 cents.
OP: if you want to try the launcher but don't have it currently installed, I can give you a code for it. PM me if you want it. :highfive:

Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?
thanks

I can understand where you are coming from, I was let down as well...not so much of the things you are opinionating about. What you are asking will require root It is impossible to change dialers and such without a root. Even with root, will be hard to do unless you are running themer found on CM/AOkP and things of that nature.
I personally expected better themes...I knew themer limitation, just didn't think it will be so limited in themes. But hey, it is just beta
im actually looking forward to the time when "My Colorscreen" type themes are available on Themer. Currently everything is a bit simple - not really my taste. I check new themes every few days and a bit underwhelmed.
Again - it is a beta.

I totally agree
themer actually is good for those looking for laucher with simplicity in mind. I do enjoyed changing the themes everyday if i feel bored. The customization options have been added from times to time. Since this is BETA, it will changes periodically. Nothing much should you expected from the BETA release. If it's doesn't suit you then go for others final release
I see that there's some fighting here... I'll tell my opinion about Themer then hehe...
It's just another launcher? Yes it is! However it's an innovative, yet simple, launcher, which requires you one click to have a completely reborn homescreen. I downloaded it with higher expectations, so indeed I got disappointed, but I believe with more time more themes will come and one will really attend my necessities. Also I really like to customize my things, so using Themer limited it, as I wasn't able to change anything after installed the theme, all I could do was select a new one.
I have a fully customized 5 screen HS on my S4 using NOVA, why did I do this? Simple: I enjoy doing this. Although I know that there are many people out there who says Android is difficult to use/manage, what I saw is that most of them get "scared" of the homescreen, Themer is a great option for those people, click here and there, done it's simple and the way I can use without any problems .
I still see a WIP though, I am not following it too much to tell further, but I imagine it's not complete, one thing that made me stop using a theme that I liked (other than I preferring my current NOVA customization) was that when you try sliding to the extreme while on the last page will happen just like a normal launcher, the same with the app drawer, it's not customized like it is in the homescreen. I used plenty themes, they were all beautifully designed, but this app drawer thing got me in my nerves , sure, I have the same app drawer in my NOVA Launcher, but I customized my homescreen in a way that it still fits!
My 2¢ to this discussion...
And @predatorftp I'll speak again what everyone already said: What you're wanting requires root access and I think the developer isn't interested in losing a huge part of it's users because of it. Maybe someday they can add a special root feature, but for now I believe they are still busy with the developing of app basis.
tl;dr:
Pros:
Simple and beautiful, anyone can use.
Cons:
Limited functionality, themes "half-baked".
Opinion:
I prefer customizing, so I go for customizable launcher for sure.
The app description on Google clearly states what the app is...
As that threads like this will only bring flaming
