Ok, before I ask this question, I would just like to say, please do not respond to this thread with comments such as "It's illegal" or "No, because there are copyrights". I am NOT interested in legislation thank you.
Also, I would like to add that this is not a repeat thread. Nobody seems to have answered the question fully.
Ok,
Has anyone made any progress porting HTC Sense to the SGA?
I know fla.sh was making a framework theme but I am unaware of an actual port (if at all). I already have the LP Sense UI and it's brilliant, but it is only a theme after all.
I don't believe this is an impossible task as Sense has been ported to various other non-HTC devices.
Thanks guys =)
And my apologies if it seems like opening paragraph is somewhat rude...

Are the Sense files closed-source ? If not , I guess it's possible......since the police don't show up on your door everyday

Well, the title of the post says it all
1 - Is there a cydia app like for android? Or all of the tweaks and stuff are only on the web and on Market (Google Play)?
2 - Is there a way to show my company carrier logo on the statusbar?
3 - Can I, through any method, change the display app name, in appgrid? Not in homescreen.
4 - Why if I dial *#7465625# nothing shows up? Depends of the ROM?
5 - Any way to have a better adjustement of the volume without depending on apps like Fime Volume Control?
6 - Any way to make the brightness minimum lower without depening on apps like ScreenDim?
7 - Any way to put a youtube video in video popup mode?
8 - Is there a tweak to put internal storage in mass storage mode? I know the one for external.
9 - How can I have a total control of the background app? I have tried advanced task manager, but as soon as I kill one process, for example Brower, it comes back itself within seconds. How can I control autostars of apps?
10 - Can I remap the buttons? For example, for a customize action when I long press the home button.
11 - How do the themes and mods work? On the iPhone the themes were images in folders, and the system images were in certains paths, so if I wanted to change something I just needed the correct path, even to make my custom images. How does all that work on android?
12 - How do I customize keyboards? Just installing new ones? Is that the only way?
Before answer me, please note, I am NOT a total noob, I perfectly know what root is, just like I know stock, CWM, and all of that. I have a custom ROM. I know about the system, I'm just new to it and because of that I dont' know where certains things are.
Thanks and sorry if anything is bad written, but english is no my native language.

Bumping is against the rules .
But using the search is not .

I'm going to try and answer your questions as much as I can.
1. Since each phone has its own specific mods and utlities there is no "universal app" like Google Play or Cydia. However there are a few apps for SGS3 like the Omega kitchen Files app (Play Store) and Kitchen Pro app which is locked to CheckRom.
2. This might be what you are looking for. https : //play .google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.infonetservice.phono
3.https : / /play. google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.guardam.AppNameEditor&hl=en App Name Editor on Play Store.
4. AFAIK some ROMs remove that "utlity"
5. AFAIK no but lets see what someone else has to say.
6. Same as 5
7. You could use a youtube downloader. There are plenty in Play store. I dont know of any other way.
Google and XDA have a ton of anwers if you search. This is not kindergarten
I'm terribly sorry about the bumping. I won't happen again. But then, how are people going to see my post if it goes under page 2 or 3?
Greatnesss, you have give me solutions for questions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Thanks very much.
About questions 5 and 6, let's wait for others and see.. I have seen something about the volume in this forum, some mod, but it was tooo complicated. I even tried it, but with no result.
About question 7, I mean to watch youtube in popup video, but live, not to download the video first (I like to watch long duration videos and sometimes I want to put them in an external mini-window to browse something at the same time, for example).
I still have no answers to questions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Sorry, I forgot to number them :S
Thanks to all. You have help me a lot.

There are those who want to be spoonfed. I don`t do that if they don`t do anything to find an answer, also rule #1 XDA Search Google and XDA before posting a question!
Believe me, I have search with no luck. Maybe I don't know the keywords or something. I had been looking for a week for an app or something to change app names with no result. Maybe I am an idiot, really, but believe me, I had like 100 questions and now I only had a few. A few I coulnd't find an answer to.
Sorry if I have cause any trouble.

I think the problem your running into here is everything works differently than what you are use to in Apple products, most people here are Android addicts so they might not understand what cydia does, here is different its wide open instead of an app adding the correct files you do it yourself in adb and moding apks. There's a lot to read here if Apple was your starting point, there's much more that you can do with Android and everything you asked about is possible with some reading and time.
Good luck man, welcome to the community of unlimited options and opportunity.

Are you referring to me because I am using a One S to post this instead of my other phone? Maybe if his questions were answered instead of judging who posted to help this wouldn't be necessary.
I'll go a step further though, I'll contact devil when I get home and spend some time on gtalk to answer everything I can and you won't be offended that I came to the forum you obviously own, I'm sorry man.
I have this phone too though I hope it allows me to be here, let me know maybe its not enough to be in the secret club.

Please tell me: Are you adressing me with the flaming and telling people off.
Alright, I've been going around the forums a bit, and more and more I'm seeing tons of "young'ns" developing. You know, along side everyone else.
My question is, where did you get all of this experience? Are there workshops open? Online classes? Did you just learn yourself? Do you have to be a son or daughter of Hephaestus? Do tell, I am intrigued.

There will be a xda-university (website) soon so you can learn more about developing.
I learned from xda users (devs, etc) Google and YouTube.

I'm learning to skin from Google, XDA, etc. More importantly, I'm also picking the brains of my Team members and huddle mates.

Apps and Roms have their similarities, but they are pretty different from each other, what I kinda did was took my base, and took another rom that was built off the same base and compared and contrasted the different files to see what did what, and made my own custimizations from there

There's an XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit available on Amazon, but according to the table of contents it only covers some theming stuff and no ROM building so it depends on what interests you.

My question is about the icons. With the iPhones, one can install themes with custom icons & also the ability to change icons. Is there any way to do this with this phone?
I'm not trying to get a flame started, just an honest question from an android noob.

Way to push the poor guy back to Apple guys. He came from iOS, chances are he didn't even know what a launcher was. On iOS its Springboard.
OP, look up ADW and GO launcher. Both have enough themes and customization to make Android look like anything you want.

Welcome to Android and XDA u made a very good trade......

Just thought I'd let you folks know about Contacts+ , the contacts app I'm using on my stock now.
It is totally packed with features (chiefly, integration with social networks, WhatsApp integration and smart ordering), looks absolutely lovely, and just elevates the Android experience when using a smartphone.
As an added bonus, it pimps out your SMS and call log appearance and functionality as well.

Well you posted the message with a Nexus 4 not a Note 2 from Verizon, and the app has tons of bad reviews which have the same problems. So either your the dev and your making money money off of it or your just out of country and decided not to take your Verizon Note 2 and are one of the few people not having problems with the app.

I'm just wondering where you're coming from. You have to admit, it looks suspect that your only like is from the app developer.
I appreciate you trying to contribute - nothing wrong there. However, some of your previous efforts were in bad taste, I.e. -- posting other's work without credit. It seems you're trying a different approach now, so I can appreciate that.

For real this post belongs in the android app development section. These themes and app threads aren't meant for people to promote their app. You might not be the developer but judging by the fact the thread is almost identical makes it look the the dev is trying to advertise their app, and this isn't the place at all. There are people that are actually taking their time and making mods/themes and all the threads keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list because of threads like this. I posted a themed app last night and its sad that its 10 posts below this already. If people want an alternate contacts app they will do what everyone else does, and search the playstore, not come to a device specific thread looking for a copy/pasted review of the app. At least you didn't completely kang this particular developers work like your aosp browser/mms/miui music threads.
