**Lightning Launcher** (Play link)
*you can do with others, so I prefer this:
- fix the widgets on the screen - (bar top, left).
- Choose which widget is on top or bottom.
- like the customizations folder.
**Zooper Widget** (Play link)
- All widgets have been made with it.
**Media Utilities** (Play link)
- buttons play, pause, albumart, album name, songs, etc..
**Quick boot** (Play link)
- power options menu
Instructions
Launcher:
**Columns per page: 4
**Rows per page: 7
(if you are using Lightning Launcher Home, there's a backup of my desktop, the positioning is already configured.)
- Unzip file and paste it into: "sdcard/LightningLauncher/Illusion.Wxtreme"
Zooper Widget
- Unzip file and paste into: "sdcard/ZooperWidget/Templates"
**A higher resolution to help set up ..

Screens look awesome. I'm new to LL, how do I load the theme? I have LL running, but no /sdcard/LightningLauncher folder to extract to. If I create it and extract the zip to it, LL does not find the template to load.

I think you are a bit confused .. lol
is:
** The first attachment is a backup of the layout of my screen LL launcher already configured. (you do not need it to build the theme, it just good would things).
** The second attachment, are the widgets, all of them, everything you need to mount the desktop's inside this zip.
** Extract the zooper widgets, (... zw), and copy it to the "your internal storage/zooperwidget/templates folder, and add the widgets manually ..
I have helped a friend, sorry my bad english ..,

Big thanks for helping. You're right, i am! I think i did all that. Very tempting to keep trying but my boss does not appreciate a good theme like i do, so unfortunately i'll have to keep trying later tonight.
Edit: Ok, it's later tonight now and i definitely did all that, at least twice, with all apps from play-links installed. Still no luck!
I did have to create the local LL folder again, shouldn't that have been there after installing LL?
And is " Apply" , " load installed template" > " Select Template" the right way to activate the theme after extracting the files?
Maybe Xposed gets in the way? DPI is on standard Omni setting (480 i think, which sucks, but i want to get this theme working) but changed for some individual apps using app-settings module.

ok, let's make an attempt, make a backup of your settings LL:
preferences > settings > Backup & Restore
Choose a name for your backup .. then find it in your store, paste my backup in the same place ...
restore it the same way
preferences > settings > Backup & Restore ...
tell me if it worked for you ....
I will also make this theme with launcher themer, but the sidebar is not fixed, it is a feature of the LL, but easier for you ...

derp... why didn't i think of that? That worked, it was one level higher then expected. Custom Zooper widgets don't show in the list. The regular Zoopers and media utilities do. I've extracted the wxtreme *.ws files to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/templates and to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/autosave and to
sdcard/ZooperWidget/ and to
android/data/org.zooper.zwfree/templates and to

Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM developers cannot please all of its users. so just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC, let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as is..
*After you're done editing, updating the PNG files you wish to change, follow this steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ and it will open a new window of 7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or downloaded png files (assuming that files are located in your desktop). - Click and simply DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ .
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> extract here - just to view the files you wanted to change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi\
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi\
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes for the exixsting systemui is currently being used by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC - logically, you are currently using your systemUI.apk so just ignore it
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in editing system files apps, just edit the .png files and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system app background - same process. just different apk files and directory
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU - IT COSTS NOTHING ;]
nice guide
you can also add this:
Install via ADB:
adb root
adb remount
adb push [file location in PC] /system/app/systemui.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no need to set permissions via ADB
also its better to use apk multitool since it can compile/decompile the apk's, if you extract the apk using 7zip or archive softwares you can't read the XML's and you can't compile them properly which results to force close issues when pushing into system

Thanks! not that sure how to use that that's why I made it my on way
more easy steps and understandable for newbies.
EDIT :
Yes you it will require to extract the apk files but just to view the image you wanted to change.. the original apk file will be opened thru 7zip and just replace the selected png. It is not recompiling the apk file at all
Tried and tested by the way
try and test it out yourself:
a very powerful apk reverse engineering tool:
APK MULTITOOL

Hmm... if you want a default wallpaper, create a folder named "Wallpaper" inside "SYSTEM" folder and create another folder inside it named "default_wallpaper" then put the jpg file you wanted..
(you can use rootexplorer)
make sure that the file name of the default wallpaper is "default_wallpaper.jpg"

This is a complete theming guide for android!!!it allows you to change the look of android completely to diifferent skins and os's
Windows Phone 7
This is a simple procedure to change the interface of android to windows phone
First of all,I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
First download these awesome softwares from other cool devs available on the play store or as apks on the net
Launcher 7(Home screen)
Photo safari(Pictures hub)
Z player (Music Player)
WP7 Notifications(Notifications.Duh!!)
My xbox live(games hub)
Wp7 Lock(lock screen)
WP7 Contacts(Contacts)
Wp7 Phone(optional)
Wp7 calculator
Wp7 email
Downloaded? Now for the second step,Shift all the user apps to system apps.Apps like the phone and music should be replaced.Xbox live,calculator can just be loaded.NoteELETE THE ODEX FILES IF YOURE DELETING A SYSTEM APP!!!
In case you dont knw how to make a user app to system read on,else,skip the next para
There are two ways you can convert a user app to system:The NOOB way and the XDA way!
Noob wayownload titanium backup pro,long press an app,go to special functions and click move to system app Or download system app mover.
XDA way:
Important: Make sure to allow any SuperUser permission requests that you may get during these steps..
Procedure
Configuring ES File Explorer for root read/write access (required only once):
Launch ES File Explorer, press Menu and tap ‘Settings’.
In the settings, enable the ‘Up to root’ check box.
Further down in the settings, enable ‘Root Explorer’ check box. You will get a warning that you should confirm.
You will then get the Superuser permissions request that you must allow.
Finally, enable the ‘Mount File System’ check box, and press the back key to get back to the explorer interface. ES File Explorer is now configured to work as a root explorer. You do not need to do this again on the same device now, unless you uninstall ES File Explorer, perform a factory reset or install another ROM.
Finding the APK of an already-installed normal app (skip to step 3 if you already have the APK):
First of all, install the app from Play Store, if you haven’t already done that.
Launch ES File Explorer and go to /data/app. (You may have to press the back button to get to / first).
If you know the icon of the app, you can easily find it here. If you are having trouble finding the app here due to the confusing names or because of having a lot of apps installed, just search for the app in Google Play Store in a web browser and look at its Play Store link for the name. The file name will basically be the part after ?id= in its market link (and before any other question mark that may or may not appear in the link).
If you already have the APK of the file that you want to install as a system app, make sure you have transferred it to your device’s SD card if you haven’t done that already. Also make sure you know the path where you have copied it on the SD card.
Once you have located the required APK on the SD card from ES File Explorer, tap-and-hold on its icon till you get a menu, and tap ‘Cut’. You should see a little blue arrow on the bottom of the screen now. (You may select ‘Copy’ instead of ‘Cut’ if you are copying a file over from the SD card and want to keep a copy there. In case of copying an APK from /data/app, always use ‘Cut’.)ES File Explorer Copying
Now press the back button till you reach / and then browse to /system/app/
Tap the little arrow that you see on the bottom of the screen. It will bring up a pane with the icon of the copied file.
Tap on the file’s icon, and it will be transferred to /system/app/.
Now find the app’s icon in the list of files there and tap-and-hold on it till you get the menu.
Scroll down in the menu till you see ‘Properties’ and tap on it. You will now see the properties dialog.
Tap the ‘Change’ button in front of the Permissions to bring up the permissions dialog.
Make sure everything under ‘Read’ is checked, only ‘User’ is checked under ‘Write’ and nothing is checked under ‘Execute’ Your screen should look like the following:ES File Explorer Permissions
Tap OK on this screen and then on the Properties screen. Your app’s permissions are now set correctly.
Reboot your device. Your app is now ready to be used as a system app.(optional)
Well were done!
youre ready to use ur brand new WP7!!!

Hi!
It's very easy, but first you need to make sure that the .zip file has the same resolution as your phone. As it's not an official theme just yet you need to verify first, we'd say try it first though and if it doesn't work you might have to wait until the theme gets ported into Themer.
So for now, all you have to do is to paste the .zip file into the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder. The theme will now appear in the Exported tab of the My Themes section. Good luck!

Hello, I just installed themer yesterday. It is now one of my fav apps of all time xD .
However, today I been trying to side load themes into themer without success, as i gathered from some websites and from a video by the one of the peeps at mycolorscreen: you just copy the zipped theme folder onto the folder called " Exported" and then to "Zips "(found in mycolorscreen->themer, on the phone), with that done the new themes should be visible in the themer app in My themes>Exported>zip option .
My problem is that I can't find any folder called exported or export inside my themer file directory in the phone, I checked everywhere , there is nothing like that. So I ended up creating a folder called export and then a folder called zip inside it , but still I cannot access this from the themer app ( Mythemes-> exported->zip->choose the new app ) .
Please help !
MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip is the right folder an i think its case sensitv.

Thanks a lot for the help bro, much appreciated.
I loaded the app, but some of the app button shortcuts look weird, all of them has an icon of a folder, but when i press on them they seem to be shortcuts to google play, or youtube or stuff like that.
Once again, thanks for the super fast reply.

When sideloading themes, you can often get one that doesn't follow Themer's guidelines, meaning that the user will set shortcuts to his/her personal preferences.

Hi,
Try this:
1. Long press on the homescreen - Advanced - More - Export Theme (give it any name).
2. Once saved, it will create a .zip file in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder.
3. Place your .zip files into the same folder.
4. To find the themes - look in the My Themes - Exported section in the Theme Browser.

Hi All !!
I was using this ROM for quite a while, thought i'll share my work with you all.
This is for i9200, But i am not sure if it would work for i9205.
Its based of stock i9200 i9200XXUDNK1 KitKat 4.4.2 from sammobile.com.
Its a mixture of Odexed and deodexed.
==============================================
The S5 features it has are,
Systemui of S5
Note 4 launcher (actually S5 launcher, i just themes the page navigator icons to look like Note 4)
Lockscreen of Note4
Settings of S5
Note 4 weather
Some S5 apps like Magazine, Group play, Group Camcoder, S5 gallery, S5 music, S5 contacts and dialer, SPlanner, SVoice, Voice Recorder, etc etc..
===============================================
Oops! lot of Note 4 mentioned above, but mainly its all got from S5.
Currently i am trying to search forums on how to make an Update.zip Rom so that you can all just flash it.
All i have now is just a backup of my Rom which i made using PhilzTouch 6.48
Please see the screen shots. attached.
Internet connection is slow.. so please gimme time to upload.
Will post the links soon on mediafire.

1: Download the Backup named "2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1.7z" from Mediafire using the link below.

The file has an extension 7z.
Extract the folder inside the zip file using 7Zip to your desktop.
Make sure the contents are extracted to a folder with the name " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " on your desktop
There are totally 12 files inside " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " folder.
2: Download PhilzTouch recovery version 6.48 and flash it
Reboot to the Phiztouch recovery and go to philzsettings-> uncheck md5 verification (thanks to Fredo2000)
3: Backup your current ROM (full backup - if in case anythin goes wrong) to sdcard or external sdcard (sdcard1).

7: Reboot phone
8: Phone will boot with the new Lollipop Screen.
9: Wait for a minute till everythin looks fine and then go to settings add wifi networks and add account - Google
10: All the S5 customization will be intact in this method.
==================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Second Method
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
===================================================================================
1: Download the CWM Flashable zip ROM named " S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip " from the below link
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qrtmbymle0c0d/Bevin_ROMs
2: Reboot to PhilzTouch Recovery
3: Wipe Factory Reset Phone -> clean to install a New ROM
4: Install Zip -> install from sdcard/sdcard1 -> S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip and flash.
5: Reboot to recovery again.
6: Re-root system using Philz touch miscellaneous settings.
7: setup wizard comes up and proceed till you get to the home screen.
8: You will find the navigation bar. Do not disable it in build.prop instead follow step 9.
9: Install Xposd Framework apk (search it and download it from google), open the app, install framework. reboot.
10: Install GravityBox KK apk from the download section of xposd app. Install it. Enable it in modules. Restart
11: go to gravitybox app reduce the size of the navbar to like 0 or 1 .. prefered is 0 using the slider.
12 That will get rid of the navigation bar (this is important for the dialer) and wil stil have the overflow menu enabled everywhere.
13: download AppSettings from xposed app under download section and install it. enable it in the modules section. reboot.
14: open App settings app and look for contacts.
15: change the dpi from 0 to 320 and save (this is important for the phone dialer to become full screen)
16: thats pretty much you have to do. everythin else is present already in the ROM.
17: to explore the various features.. long press the notification toggle icons.. it ll open a new menu which is not present in the settings.
18: using xposd app you can download even floating windows to make windows float like note 4.
===================================================================================
Some of the Apps are preloaded as I like it that way. You can uninstall them as you please.
This ROM has no bugs so far, so if you do find bugs - I will be happy to fix them and release another ROM later on.
If you Factory Reset your phone, you might lose certain customizations done on XPosed Framework. (Hence i suggest you not to unless you know what you are doing)
====================================================================================
If something does not work fine related to network bluetooth or Wifi (most unlikely) - Flash XXDNK1 modem.
====================================================================================
:good:
This ROM is stock Samsung ROM i9200XXUDNK1 (latest release of 4.4.2 from samsung) with S5 built in apps.
I use the stock baseband (modem) i9200XXUDNK1 and have face no issues so far.
Features of this ROM - Unlike any other
Things you will notice on this ROM
=======================================================================
1: I made a unique tweak with air view turned on, Thers always a feedback on the screen whereever your finger moves be it lockscreen or any other window.
2: Power Saving in Settings shows Different options and Power Saving in Notification Toggle shows greyscale options.
3: Viper audio to boost the Audio output.
4: 31 toggles. Even S5 doesn't have so many toggles. But 31 looks best for our big screen.
5: funcitonal Quick connect and SFinder.
6: Watch on remote control on notification panel when turned on.
7: Life Companion (smaller font)
8: First available Ported Note 4 look launcher with no stupid pullup app to screw with it.
9: Note 4 weather widget (fully transparent)
10: Group Camcoder works
11: All the Apps are updated to their latest release.
12: Device Status - Official (but do not update)
13: No branding what so ever. I dint do it as i hate it when i have to see others Name or their logos on my phone. Its so annoying!!
14: Double tap the staus bar to sleep
15: 4 way reboot options
16: Haptic feedback enabled by default with sound for air view.(power saving can disable it)
17: Android Version shows 4.4.4 (but its just a tweak)
18: S5 icons on settings and S5 settings.. all working.. no bugs!!
19: First working S5 keyboard for our phones with all working functionality.
20: Some awesome things i did to the ROM that i am forgetting right now to mention.
21: I did no tweaks to the performance of the ROM as I dont wanna play with that part. You can do it yourself.
22: Floating windows and all other tweaks are part of XPOSD
=======================================================================
Why didn't i share this earlier?
I was too busy flashing lollipop ROMs..and just realised this was better than everythin else.
So, spent more time fixin problems on the phone and now i share my work with all of you.
Hope you Enjoy my ROM as i do - but then it really doesn't matter to me if you do not.
If you dislike my work, just remember that no one ever shared a stupid S5 ROM before while all the other phones like S3 s4 and Note 2 Note 3 etc all had developers making S5 and note4 roms for these devices and none for us.
Feel free to rip my ROM apart and do whatever you want with it.
Thanks to Blekota for his Samsung S3 ROM. It made my Mega alive!!
Thanks to unclefab too.
You don't need to make a zip if you are rooted.
From your phone, open your android terminal and type:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/system.img
Wait a bit, after a while you'll have your system.img in your sdcard (but make sure you have sufficient storage as it's a pretty big file).
Then, to anyone wanting to push it on one's phone, put the img file on your sd and type:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
You can do it from adb too, just type adb shell before su.
If the phone doesn't boot after flashing the img you'll have to wipe wipe data and cache.
Did you keep the original boot.img or did you flash the S5's?
In case you used the S5's boot.img and want to add it to your rom, type this:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/boot.img
@bevinabraham :
my connection is pretty slow too so I'd like to ask you 2 questions before I attempt to download:
1-did you replace the whole system/app and the whole system/framework folders?
2-how is the multi windows function? Any difference compared to the stock Mega 4.4.2?
Do you have that note 4 feature that enables to resize full screen windows from the screen edges (swiping down from either top left or top right)?
The proper way is to use an android kitchen (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) but it seems that may be out of your wheel house. There are also ways to make a full update zip of your ROM via nandroid and some play store apps.

Hi,
Actually thats not what i am trying to do.
How to people get the starting new set up wizard etc when you just flash a rom? how do i export all the folders such as the whole system folder with the boot.img in it into a update.zip?
any code for that?
To answer your second question..
I did not replace the whole System APP PrivAPP and the framework folders as its a larger resolution that ours..
So, I just ported only a few files from the system app and a few files from the priv app and a lot of lib and etc files and twframework files.
Then i modded the stock frameworkres.apk file from the framework folder with the s5 frameworkres,apk .
So its pretty much the whole that we see outside is all of s5 stuff..but everythin under it which we cant see (are the stock functions)
and its not themed if thats what u meant.. the lockscreen is of note4..
The floating windows i got using Xposed framework. i can resize it..
The multiwindow is stock multi window.. from the DNK1 rom.. its slightly diff that the old ones i guess as u can add and edit items,.

Yes.. i ll try this.. i saw it in the recovery of PhilzTouch.. to clone the ROM.
trying it now.
The boot.img, if I understood well you kept the one from the mega so you can forget that part.
Then, there's no need for any starting wizzard, people just flash your system.img and get whatever tweaks you put inside, that's it.
You can of course use android kitchen, but the method I gave you is by far the easiest and the fastest.
Nowadays I use this method, I make my rom the way I like it and add this or that, then I make an .img image ready for flashing, and I only use android kitchen if I need to edit my boot.img.
Lat but not least, once you have a system.img you can pass it through 3 commands and make it an odin flashable file for people that aren't rooted.
Reagrding note 4, I'm not interested in lockscreen stuff, I just wanted to know if the multi windows function in your rom is the same than in the stock mega Kk or if it has new features.

I am onot sure if it would work on i9205, but then there is no reason why it should not work as this rom does not have the baseband/modem file etc.. just the boot and the system.
